Vladis Dronov 5e194e0f77 x86/sgx: Warn explicitly if X86_FEATURE_SGX_LC is not enabled 
[ Upstream commit 65be5c95d0 ]

The kernel requires X86_FEATURE_SGX_LC to be able to create SGX enclaves,
not just X86_FEATURE_SGX.

There is quite a number of hardware which has X86_FEATURE_SGX but not
X86_FEATURE_SGX_LC. A kernel running on such hardware does not create
the /dev/sgx_enclave file and does so silently.

Explicitly warn if X86_FEATURE_SGX_LC is not enabled to properly notify
users that the kernel disabled the SGX driver.

The X86_FEATURE_SGX_LC, a.k.a. SGX Launch Control, is a CPU feature
that enables LE (Launch Enclave) hash MSRs to be writable (with
additional opt-in required in the 'feature control' MSR) when running
enclaves, i.e. using a custom root key rather than the Intel proprietary
key for enclave signing.

I've hit this issue myself and have spent some time researching where
my /dev/sgx_enclave file went on SGX-enabled hardware.

[ mingo: Made the error message a bit more verbose, and added other cases
         where the kernel fails to create the /dev/sgx_enclave device node. ]

README 

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 reStructuredText 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.
