SGX2 functions are not allowed on all page types. For example, ENCLS[EMODPR] is only allowed on regular SGX enclave pages and ENCLS[EMODPT] is only allowed on TCS and regular pages. If these functions are attempted on another type of page the hardware would trigger a fault. Keep a record of the SGX page type so that there is more certainty whether an SGX2 instruction can succeed and faults can be treated as real failures. The page type is a property of struct sgx_encl_page and thus does not cover the VA page type. VA pages are maintained in separate structures and their type can be determined in a different way. The SGX2 instructions needing the page type do not operate on VA pages and this is thus not a scenario needing to be covered at this time. struct sgx_encl_page hosting this information is maintained for each enclave page so the space consumed by the struct is important. The existing sgx_encl_page->vm_max_prot_bits is already unsigned long while only using three bits. Transition to a bitfield for the two members to support the additional information without increasing the space consumed by the struct.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
