The SGX reclaimer code lacks page poison handling in its main
free path. This can lead to avoidable machine checks if a
poisoned page is freed and reallocated instead of being
isolated.
A troublesome scenario is:
1. Machine check (#MC) occurs (asynchronous, !MF_ACTION_REQUIRED)
2. arch_memory_failure() is eventually called
3. (SGX) page->poison set to 1
4. Page is reclaimed
5. Page added to normal free lists by sgx_reclaim_pages()
^ This is the bug (poison pages should be isolated on the
sgx_poison_page_list instead)
6. Page is reallocated by some innocent enclave, a second (synchronous)
in-kernel #MC is induced, probably during EADD instruction.
^ This is the fallout from the bug
(6) is unfortunate and can be avoided by replacing the open coded
enclave page freeing code in the reclaimer with sgx_free_epc_page()
to obtain support for poison page handling that includes placing the
poisoned page on the correct list.
