Subject: [PATCH v2 00/18]  Add Cgroup support for SGX EPC memory

Utilize the Miscellaneous cgroup controller to regulate the distribution
of SGX EPC memory, which is a subset of system RAM that is used to provide
SGX-enabled applications with protected memory, and is otherwise inaccessible.

SGX EPC memory allocations are separate from normal RAM allocations,
and is managed solely by the SGX subsystem. The existing cgroup memory
controller cannot be used to limit or account for SGX EPC memory.

This patchset implements the support for sgx_epc memory within the 
misc cgroup controller, and then utilizes the misc cgroup controller
to provide support for setting the total system capacity, max limit
per cgroup, and events.

This work was originally authored by Sean Christopherson a few years ago,
and was modified to work with more recent kernels, and to utilize the
misc cgroup controller rather than a custom controller. It is currently
based on top of the MCA patches.

Here's the MCA patchset for reference.
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-sgx/2d52c8c4-8ed0-6df2-2911-da5b9fcc9ae4@intel.com/T/#t

The patchset adds support for multiple LRUs to track both reclaimable
EPC pages (i.e. pages the reclaimer knows about), as well as unreclaimable
EPC pages (i.e. pages which the reclaimer isn't aware of, such as va pages).
These pages are assigned to an LRU, as well as an enclave, so that an
enclave's full EPC usage can be tracked, and limited to a max value. During
OOM events, an enclave can be have its memory zapped, and all the EPC pages
not tracked by the reclaimer can be freed.

I appreciate your comments and feedback.

Changelog:

v2:
 * rename struct sgx_epc_lru to sgx_epc_lru_lists to be more clear
   that this struct contains 2 lists.
 * use inline functions rather than macros for sgx_epc_page_list*
   wrappers.
 * Remove flags macros and open code all flags.
 * Improve the commit message for RECLAIM_IN_PROGRESS patch to make
   it more clear what the patch does.
 * remove notifier_block from misc cgroup changes and use a set
   of ops for callbacks instead.
 * rename root_misc to misc_cg_root and parent_misc to misc_cg_parent
 * consolidate misc cgroup changes to 2 patches and remove most of
   the previous helper functions.
