Adding the state to idtentry_state is fine at least for most interrupts
and exceptions. Emphasis on most.

#PF does not work because #PF can schedule.

Works as in compiles, right?

static void noinstr idt_save_pkrs(idtentry_state_t state)
{
        state.foo = 1;
}

How is that supposed to change the caller state? C programming basics.

That state is strict per task, right? So why do you want to store it
anywhere else that in task/thread storage. That solves your problem of
#PF scheduling nicely.

Because #MC does not go through idtentry_enter(). Neither do #NMI, #DB, #BP.

The invocation of save/restore might be placed in generic code at least
for the common exception and interrupt entries.

*state. See above.

Empty inlines do not need noinstr because they are optimized out. If you
want inlines in a noinstr section then use __always_inline

No. This really has no business to be called before the state is
established. It's not something horribly urgent and write_pkrs() is NOT
noinstr and invokes wrmsrl() which is subject to tracing.

This one is placed correctly.

Thanks,
