Compared to the last time I looked at the patch set, this API removes the ability to measure individual pages chunks. That is not acceptable.

What do you mean by "it's not intrinsically tied to the SGX architecture"? This is a fundamental part of the SGX instruction set. This is the instruction definition from the SDM: "EEXTEND—Extend Uninitialized Enclave Measurement by 256 Bytes".

The exact sequence of EADD/EEXTEND calls is part of the enclave hash. The OS mustn't arbitrarily restrict how an enclave may be loaded. If the enclave loader were to follows OS-specific restrictions, that would result in effectively different enclaves. Because of these interoperability concerns, 256-byte granularity *must* be exposed through the UAPI.

Besides only partially measuring a page, there are some other fringe cases that are technically possible, although I haven't seen any toolchains that do that. These include not interleaving EADD and EEXTEND, not using logical ordering for the EEXTENDs, and call EEXTEND multiple times on the same chunk. Maximum interoperability would require supporting any EADD/EEXTEND sequence.

Maybe we should just add an EEXTEND@...set ioctl? This would give fine-grained control when needed (one could set flags=0 in the add pages ioctl and interleave with EEXTEND as needed). If you're ok adding an EEXTEND ioctl I don't think this issue needs to block landing the driver in its current form, in which case:

Sorry for being super late with this, I know you asked me for feedback about this specific point in October. However, I did previously mention several times that being able to measure individual 256-byte chunks is necessary.
