There was an (internal to Intel) implementation of this about a year ago
that used smp_call_function_many() to force the MSR state into all
threads of a process. I took one look at it, decided there was a 0%
chance of it actually functioning and recommended we find another way.
While I'm sure it could be done more efficiently, the implementation I
looked at took ~200 lines of code and comments. It started to look too
much like another instance of mm->cpumask for my comfort.
The only other option I could think of would be an ABI where threads
were required to call into the kernel at least once after creation
before calling ENQCMD. All ENQCMDs would be required to be "wrapped" by
code doing this syscall. Something like this:
if (!thread_local(did_pasid_init))
sys_pasid_init(); // new syscall or prctl
thread_local(did_pasid_init) = 1;
// ENQCMD here
