In this case it would not work as the launch enclave is still part of the kernel and it would create a dependency how the user space defines paths. If using pipe specifically is an issue, I could easily use shmem file as a mean for communiation. The way I implemented is much like how I did arch/x86/realmode with HPA and it has kind of comparable requirements, part of the kernel but not exactly code living in the kernel namespace. /Jarkko
