Create /sys/kernel/debug/x86/sgx_total_mem, after the driver is initialized, describing the total amount of SGX reserved memory (also known as Enclave Page Cache (EPC)) available in the system.
This can be used to implement stress that trigger the page reclaimer, and it is probably useful information when admistering a system running enclaves anyhow.
How about this as a rewrite?
Just like normal memory, SGX memory can be overcommitted. SGX has its own reclaim mechanism which kicks in when physical SGX memory (Enclave Page Cache / EPC) is exhausted. That reclaim mechanism is relatively rarely exercised and needs selftests to poke at it.
The amount of EPC on the system is determined by the BIOS and it varies wildly between systems. It can be dozens of MB on desktops, or many GB on servers.
To run in a reasonable amount of time, the selftest needs to know how much EPC there is in the system.
Introduce a new debugfs file to export that information.

It would also be nice to say what the units are here, even if they are bytes.
