Subject[RFC PATCH v2 10/10] x86/sgx: Call ENCLS[EUPDATESVN] during SGX initialization
Date
A snapshot of the processor microcode SVN is taken each boot cycle at
the time when Intel SGX is first used. This results in microcode
updates being loadable at any time, fixing microcode issues. However,
if system boot up through kexec() from error recovery, no hardware
reset happens, any SGX leaf execution during boot up is not assumed
as the first use in such case, and no snapshot of SVN is taken. So,
it's necessary to call ENCLS[EUPDATESVN] to update SVN automatically,
rather than waiting for the admin to do it when he/she is even not
aware of that.

Call ENCLS[EUPDATESVN] after sanitizing pages will increase the chance
of success, for it requires that EPC is empty.
