Merge tag 'x86_sgx_for_v5.19_rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull x86 SGX updates from Dave Hansen:
 "A set of patches to prevent crashes in SGX enclaves under heavy memory
  pressure:

  SGX uses normal RAM allocated from special shmem files as backing
  storage when it runs out of SGX memory (EPC). The code was overly
  aggressive when freeing shmem pages and was inadvertently freeing
  perfectly good data. This resulted in failures in the SGX instructions
  used to swap data back into SGX memory.

  This turned out to be really hard to trigger in mainline. It was
  originally encountered testing the out-of-tree "SGX2" patches, but
  later reproduced on mainline.

  Fix the data loss by being more careful about truncating pages out of
  the backing storage and more judiciously setting pages dirty"

* tag 'x86_sgx_for_v5.19_rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
