Unable to determine which Linux kernel to use to get the latest security and package bug fixes for Intel® SGX.
When possible, use Linux kernel version 5.11+, which includes the in-kernel SGX driver. Otherwise, use the out-of-tree SGX driver.
When kernel 5.11 or newer is ubiquitous and shipping everywhere in the future, Intel will drop support for the standalone Datacenter and Attestation Primitives (DCAP) driver.
