The whole point of SGX is to create a hardware protected place to do
“stuff”. But, before someone is willing to hand over the keys to
the castle , an enclave must often prove that it is running on an
SGX-protected processor. Provisioning enclaves play a key role in
providing proof.

There are actually three different enclaves in play in order to make this
happen:

1. The application enclave.  The familiar one we know and love that runs
   the actual code that’s doing real work.  There can be many of these on
   a single system, or even in a single application.
2. The quoting enclave  (QE).  The QE is mentioned in lots of silly
   whitepapers, but, for the purposes of kernel enabling, just pretend they
   do not exist.
3. The provisioning enclave.  There is typically only one of these
   enclaves per system.  Provisioning enclaves have access to a special
   hardware key.

   They can use this key to help to generate certificates which serve as
   proof that enclaves are running on trusted SGX hardware.  These
   certificates can be passed around without revealing the special key.

Any user who can create a provisioning enclave can access the
processor-unique Provisioning Certificate Key which has privacy and
fingerprinting implications. Even if a user is permitted to create
normal application enclaves (via /dev/sgx_enclave), they should not be
able to create provisioning enclaves. That means a separate permissions
scheme is needed to control provisioning enclave privileges.

Implement a separate device file (/dev/sgx_provision) which allows
creating provisioning enclaves. This device will typically have more
strict permissions than the plain enclave device.

The actual device “driver” is an empty stub.  Open file descriptors for
this device will represent a token which allows provisioning enclave duty.
This file descriptor can be passed around and ultimately given as an
argument to the /dev/sgx_enclave driver ioctl().
