Intel(R) Software Guard Extensions for Linux* OS

linux-sgx-driver

Introduction

Intel(R) Software Guard Extensions (Intel(R) SGX) is an Intel technology for application developers seeking to protect select code and data from disclosure or modification.

The Linux SGX software stack is comprised of the Intel(R) SGX driver, the Intel(R) SGX SDK, and the Intel(R) SGX Platform Software. The Intel(R) SGX SDK and Intel(R) SGX PSW are hosted in the linux-sgx project.

The linux-sgx-driver project hosts the out-of-tree driver for the Linux Intel(R) SGX software stack, which will be used until the driver upstreaming process is complete.

Contributing

Starting from 05/2017, we are importing the sgx driver code from the in-kernel sgx repository located at git-hub: https://github.com/jsakkine-intel/linux-sgx.git. Any contribution should be done there. Future versions of the sgx driver code will be imported later on. The motivation behind this decision is to maintain a single source code of the sgx linux driver. An additional directory inker2ext/ has been created, it contains a script and a patch file that can be used in order to separately generate the code base of the sgx external module; it can be used in case someone wants the newest sgx driver as an external module and does not want to wait for next update.

Documentation

Build and Install the Intel(R) SGX Driver

Prerequisites

  • Ensure that you have the following required operating systems:
    • Ubuntu* Desktop-16.04-LTS 64bits
    • Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.2 64bits
    • CentOS 7.3.1611 64bits
  • Ensure that you have the following required hardware:
    • 6th Generation Intel(R) Core(TM) Processor (code named Skylake)
    • 7th Generation Intel(R) Core(TM) Processor (code named Kaby Lake)
  • Configure the system with the SGX hardware enabled option.

Build the Intel(R) SGX Driver

To build Intel(R) SGX driver, change the directory to the driver path and enter the following command:

$ make

You can find the driver isgx.ko generated in the same directory.

Install the Intel(R) SGX Driver

To install the Intel(R) SGX driver, enter the following command with root privilege:

$ sudo mkdir -p "/lib/modules/"`uname -r`"/kernel/drivers/intel/sgx"    
$ sudo cp isgx.ko "/lib/modules/"`uname -r`"/kernel/drivers/intel/sgx"    
$ sudo sh -c "cat /etc/modules | grep -Fxq isgx || echo isgx >> /etc/modules"    
$ sudo /sbin/depmod
$ sudo /sbin/modprobe isgx

On Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server or CentOS, need to run below command on each reboot

$ sudo /sbin/modprobe isgx

Uninstall the Intel(R) SGX Driver

Before uninstall the Intel(R) SGX driver, make sure the aesmd service is stopped. See the topic, Start or Stop aesmd Service, on how to stop the aesmd service.
To uninstall the Intel(R) SGX driver, enter the following commands:

$ sudo /sbin/modprobe -r isgx
$ sudo rm -rf "/lib/modules/"`uname -r`"/kernel/drivers/intel/sgx"
$ sudo /sbin/depmod
$ sudo /bin/sed -i '/^isgx$/d' /etc/modules
