The Enclave Page Cache Map (EPCM) is a secure structure used by the
processor to track the contents of the enclave page cache. The EPCM
contains permissions with which enclave pages can be accessed. SGX
support allows EPCM and PTE page permissions to differ - as long as
the PTE permissions do not exceed the EPCM permissions.
Add a test that:
(1) Creates an SGX enclave page with writable EPCM permission.
(2) Changes the PTE permission on the page to read-only. This should
be permitted because the permission does not exceed the EPCM
permission.
(3) Attempts a write to the page. This should generate a page fault
(#PF) because of the read-only PTE even though the EPCM
permissions allow the page to be written to.
This introduces the first test of SGX exception handling. In this test
the issue that caused the exception (PTE page permissions) can be fixed
from outside the enclave and after doing so it is possible to re-enter
enclave at original entrypoint with ERESUME.

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.
