The SGX2 page removal flow was introduced in previous patch and is as follows: 1) Change the type of the pages to be removed to SGX_PAGE_TYPE_TRIM using the ioctl() SGX_IOC_ENCLAVE_MODIFY_TYPES introduced in previous patch. 2) Approve the page removal by running ENCLU[EACCEPT] from within the enclave. 3) Initiate actual page removal using the ioctl() SGX_IOC_ENCLAVE_REMOVE_PAGES introduced here. Support the final step of the SGX2 page removal flow with ioctl() SGX_IOC_ENCLAVE_REMOVE_PAGES. With this ioctl() the user specifies a page range that should be removed. All pages in the provided range should have the SGX_PAGE_TYPE_TRIM page type and the request will fail with EPERM (Operation not permitted) if a page that does not have the correct type is encountered. Page removal can fail on any page within the provided range. Support partial success by returning the number of pages that were successfully removed. Since actual page removal will succeed even if ENCLU[EACCEPT] was not run from within the enclave the ENCLU[EMODPR] instruction with RWX permissions is used as a no-op mechanism to ensure ENCLU[EACCEPT] was successfully run from within the enclave before the enclave page is removed. If the user omits running SGX_IOC_ENCLAVE_REMOVE_PAGES the pages will still be removed when the enclave is unloaded.

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.
