Yeah, the enclave saves/restores RSP from/to the current save state area.

Here's pseudocode for how the SDK uses the untrusted stack, minus a
bunch of error checking and gory details.

The function ID and a pointer to a marshalling struct are passed to
the untrusted runtime via normal register params, e.g. RDI and RSI.
The marshalling struct is what's actually allocated on the untrusted
stack, like alloca() but more complex and explicit.  The marshalling
struct size is not artificially restricted by the SDK, e.g. AFAIK it
could span multiple 4k pages.


int sgx_out_call(const unsigned int func_index, void *marshalling_struct)
{
struct sgx_encl_tls *tls = get_encl_tls();

%RBP = tls->save_state_area[SSA_RBP];
%RSP = tls->save_state_area[SSA_RSP];
%RDI = func_index;
%RSI = marshalling_struct;

EEXIT

/* magic elsewhere to get back here on an EENTER(OUT_CALL_RETURN) */
return %RAX
}

void *sgx_alloc_untrusted_stack(size_t size)
{
struct sgx_encl_tls *tls = get_encl_tls();
struct sgx_out_call_context *context;
void *tmp;

/* create a frame on the trusted stack to hold the out-call context */
tls->trusted_stack -= sizeof(struct sgx_out_call_context);

/* save the untrusted %RSP into the out-call context */
context = (struct sgx_out_call_context *)tls->trusted_stack;
context->untrusted_stack = tls->save_state_area[SSA_RSP];

/* allocate space on the untrusted stack */
tmp = (void *)(tls->save_state_area[SSA_RSP] - size);
tls->save_state_area[SSA_RSP] = tmp;

return tmp;
}

void sgx_pop_untrusted_stack(void)
{
struct sgx_encl_tls *tls = get_encl_tls();
struct sgx_out_call_context *context;

/* retrieve the current out-call context from the trusted stack */
context = (struct sgx_out_call_context *)tls->trusted_stack;

/* restore untrusted %RSP */
tls->save_state_area[SSA_RSP] = context->untrusted_stack;

/* pop the out-call context frame */
tls->trusted_stack += sizeof(struct sgx_out_call_context);
}

int sgx_main(void)
{
struct my_out_call_struct *params;

params = sgx_alloc_untrusted_stack(sizeof(*params));

params->0..N = XYZ;

ret = sgx_out_call(DO_WORK, params);

sgx_pop_untrusted_stack();

return ret;
}
