Please split the kselftest change to a separate patch.

__u8 pad[7];

That was a bit hard to grasp (at least for me). I would rephrase it like:

/**
 * sgx_calc_vma_prot_intersection() - Calculate intersection of the permissions
 *				      for a VMA
 * @encl:	an enclave
 * @vma:	a VMA inside the enclave
 *
 * Iterate through the page addresses inside the VMA and calculate a bitmask
 * of permissions that all pages have in common. Page addresses that do
 * not have an associated enclave page are interpreted to zero
 * permissions.
 */

Suggestion for the name: sgx_calc_vma_prot_intersection()

Suggestion: just open code these to the for-statement.

This would be a more clean way to express the same:

	if (!page)
		return 0;

	allowed_rwx &= page->vm_prot_bits;
