x86/sgx: Support adding of pages to an initialized enclave



With SGX1 an enclave needs to be created with its maximum memory demands
allocated. Pages cannot be added to an enclave after it is initialized.
SGX2 introduces a new function, ENCLS[EAUG], that can be used to add
pages to an initialized enclave. With SGX2 the enclave still needs to
set aside address space for its maximum memory demands during enclave
creation, but all pages need not be added before enclave initialization.
Pages can be added during enclave runtime.

Add support for dynamically adding pages to an initialized enclave,
architecturally limited to RW permission at creation but allowed to
obtain RWX permissions after trusted enclave runs EMODPE. Add pages
via the page fault handler at the time an enclave address without a
backing enclave page is accessed, potentially directly reclaiming
pages if no free pages are available.

The enclave is still required to run ENCLU[EACCEPT] on the page before
it can be used. A useful flow is for the enclave to run ENCLU[EACCEPT]
on an uninitialized address. This will trigger the page fault handler
that will add the enclave page and return execution to the enclave to
repeat the ENCLU[EACCEPT] instruction, this time successful.

If the enclave accesses an uninitialized address in another way, for
example by expanding the enclave stack to a page that has not yet been
added, then the page fault handler would add the page on the first
write but upon returning to the enclave the instruction that triggered
the page fault would be repeated and since ENCLU[EACCEPT] was not run
yet it would trigger a second page fault, this time with the SGX flag
set in the page fault error code. This can only be recovered by entering
the enclave again and directly running the ENCLU[EACCEPT] instruction on
the now initialized address.

Accessing an uninitialized address from outside the enclave also
triggers this flow but the page will remain inaccessible (access will
result in #PF) until accepted from within the enclave via
ENCLU[EACCEPT].
