Ah, yeah, wasn't thinking about usage models where the enclave could
get passed off to a different thread.

What about supporting both, i.e. keep the exit handler but make it 100%
optional?  And simplify the exit_handler to effectively return a boolean,
i.e. "exit or continue".

Something like this:

notrace long __vdso_sgx_enter_enclave(u32 op, void *tcs, void *priv,
                                      struct sgx_enclave_exit_info *exit_info,
                                      sgx_enclave_exit_handler *exit_handler)
{
        u64 rdi, rsi, rdx;
        u32 leaf;
        long ret;

        if (!tcs || !exit_info)
                return -EINVAL;

enter_enclave:
        if (op != SGX_EENTER && op != SGX_ERESUME)
                return -EINVAL;

        <same core code>

        /*
         * Invoke the caller's exit handler if one was provided.  The return
         * value tells us whether to re-enter the enclave (EENTER or ERESUME)
         * or to return (EEXIT).
         */
        if (exit_handler) {
                if (exit_handler(exit_info, tcs, priv)) {
                        op = exit_info->leaf;
                        goto enter_enclave;
                }
        }

        if (exit_info->leaf == SGX_EEXIT)
                return -EFAULT;

        return 0;
}


I like that the exit handler allows userspace to trap/panic with the full
call stack in place, and in a dedicated path, i.e. outside of the basic
enter/exit code.  An exit handler probably doesn't fundamentally change
what userspace can do with respect to debugging/reporting, but I think
it would actually simplify some userspace implementations, e.g. I'd use
it in my tests like so:

long fault_handler(struct sgx_enclave_exit_info *exit_info, void *tcs, void 
*priv)
{
        if (exit_info->leaf == SGX_EEXIT)
                return 0;

        <report exception and die/hang>
}
