I figured out what happened on my end. This documentation error led me
to misread the code. More below.

My understanding from the documentation issue above was that *if* you
wanted to push parameters back on the stack during enclave exit, you
would *have* to supply a handler so it could pop the parameters and
reset the stack. Which is why restoring %rsp from %rbx didn't make
sense to me.

Related to my other message in this thread, if
__vdso_sgx_enter_enclave() preserved %rbx and took @leaf as a stack
parameter, you could call __vdso_sgx_enter_enclave() from C so long as
the enclave didn't push return arguments on the stack. A workaround
for that case would be to fix up the stack in the handler. It would be
enough for the handler to simply set %rbx to the desired stack
location and return (though all of this unclean of course).
