The current SGX Programming Reference (v. 329298-002, linked from https://software.intel.com/en-us/isa-extensions/intel-sgx ) describes them as follows in Table 2-5 (part of Section 2.8: Thread Control Structure): OFSBASGX: When added to the base address of the enclave, produces the base address FS segment inside the enclave. Must be page aligned. OGSBASGX: When added to the base address of the enclave, produces the base address GS segment inside the enclave. Must be page aligned. FSLIMIT: Size to become the new FS limit in 32-bit mode GSLIMIT: Size to become the new GS limit in 32-bit mode More information on "Segment Registers" can be found in Volume 1 of Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer’s Manual ( http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/architectures-software-developer-manuals.html )
