commit e3a3bbe3e99de73043a1d32d36cf4d211dc58c7e upstream. A PCMD (Paging Crypto MetaData) page contains the PCMD structures of enclave pages that have been encrypted and moved to the shmem backing store. When all enclave pages sharing a PCMD page are loaded in the enclave, there is no need for the PCMD page and it can be truncated from the backing store. A few issues appeared around the truncation of PCMD pages. The known issues have been addressed but the PCMD handling code could be made more robust by loudly complaining if any new issue appears in this area. Add a check that will complain with a warning if the PCMD page is not actually empty after it has been truncated. There should never be data in the PCMD page at this point since it is was just checked to be empty and truncated with enclave mutex held and is updated with the enclave mutex held.

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.
