If you have ctags installed then a ctrl-] on that
__fixup_pasid_exception() will take you to the function with
the comments. No electron microscope needed.

+/*

+ * thread taking the #GP.

+bool __fixup_pasid_exception(void)
+{
+       u32 pasid;
+
+       /*
+        * This function is called only when this #GP was triggered from user
+        * space. So the mm cannot be NULL.
+        */
+       pasid = current->mm->pasid;
+
+       /* If no PASID is allocated, there is nothing to propagate. */
+       if (pasid == PASID_DISABLED)
+               return false;
+
+       /*
+        * If the current task already has a valid PASID MSR, then the #GP
+        * fault must be for some non-ENQCMD related reason.

+       if (current->has_valid_pasid)
+               return false;
+
+       /* Fix up the MSR by the PASID in the mm. */
+       fpu__pasid_write(pasid);
+       current->has_valid_pasid = 1;
+
+       return true;
