Hi!
I'm announcing the release of the 4.19.157 kernel.
Please see the 5.9.8 announcement if you are curious if you should upgrade or not: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1605041246232108@kroah.com/
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
