For optimized performance, firmware typically distributes EPC sections evenly across different NUMA nodes. However, there are scenarios where a node may have both CPUs and memory but no EPC section configured. For example, in an 8-socket system with a Sub-Numa-Cluster=2 setup, there are a total of 16 nodes. Given that the maximum number of supported EPC sections is 8, it is simply not feasible to assign one EPC section to each node. This configuration is not incorrect - SGX will still operate correctly; it is just not optimized from a NUMA standpoint. For this reason, log a message when a node with both CPUs and memory lacks an EPC section. This will provide users with a hint as to why they might be experiencing less-than-ideal performance when running SGX enclaves.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
