Enclave memory is normally inaccessible from outside the enclave. This makes enclaves hard to debug. However, enclaves can be put in a debug mode when they are being built. In that mode, enclave data *can* be read and/or written by using the ENCLS[EDBGRD] and ENCLS[EDBGWR] functions. This is obviously only for debugging and destroys all the protections present with normal enclaves. But, enclaves know their own debug status and can adjust their behavior appropriately. Add a vm_ops->access() implementation which can be used to read and write memory inside debug enclaves. This is typically used via ptrace() APIs.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
