SubjectRe: Linux 4.19.157 -- fixing SGX problem?

Quoting:

# Hint, if you are using SGX, then upgrade. And then possibly
# reconsider
# the decisions you have recently made that caused you to write special
# code to use that crazy thing. Personally, it still feels like a
# solution in search of a problem.

I agree with you that SGX is "crazy", but this makes no sense.

SGX is expected to protect enclave even from root. How does making
interface root-only solve that?

Plus, SGX is not in 4.19. I don't believe it is in mainline, either,
as the patches are still reposted. We are at v40 now...

ls arch/x86/kernel/cpu/sgx shows nothing in mainline. It shows nothing
in -next, either.

Confused,
Pavel
