Okay, I split it in two.

Yes. If we kept the argument we would need dead code in the macro to
enable all keys on non-current tasks.

Almost all of it. In __switch_to we have an unconditional

       /* avoid expensive SCTLR_EL1 accesses if no change */
       if (prev->thread.sctlr_user != next->thread.sctlr_user)
               update_sctlr_el1(next->thread.sctlr_user);

But let's make that conditional as well I suppose. I was trying to
avoid duplicating the #if PAC || MTE in too many places but now that
we have CONFIG_ARM64_NEED_SCTLR_USER as you suggested below we might
as well make everything conditional.

Yes, it was slower. See:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/CAMn1gO7HCJiXEzDvBb-=T7znATqyaxE_t-zezqKL0dyXRCG-nQ@mail.gmail.com/
(specifically, this was "conditional MSR based on MRS").

I've updated the "No kernel C function calls" comment above to also
say "IA may be disabled".

That's basically the way I had things in v2 with init_sctlr. I agree
this is a bit fragile but it's how Catalin wanted it. To be honest I
slightly prefer the way the code was originally so maybe if it's 2
against 1 we could go back to the original approach.

Done (WARN_ON since it isn't a constant, and scripts/checkpatch.pl
recommends using that instead of BUG_ON).

Makes sense, I've added one.

The reason below covers the TCF0 bits. For the EnXX bits it's to avoid
needing to touch SCTLR_EL1 on the hot entry/exit path in the common
case where EnIA is left enabled. My intuition at least is that task
switches are an order of magnitude less common than entry/exit so it
seems worth it to move as much of the work here as we can.

Now that I think about it, we may also consider moving the
installation of user keys other than IA to task switch as well to cut
down on the amount of work that we need to do on kernel exit. Another
thing that we may consider would be to leave the kernel IA key
installed while in userspace if IA is disabled, which should hopefully
give us back some of the entry/exit performance in the IA disabled
case. But that's really a separate change I think (and I don't have a
way to benchmark anything involving key installation yet, at least not
on Cortex, but I do have one of the new Macs on the way so I should be
able to benchmark on M1 at some point soon).

That's part of the reason, yes.

I don't think it matters. Catalin asked for them to be moved together.

I originally wrote it this way for consistency with
tagged_addr_ctrl_get (which I suppose is a fancy way of saying that I
copied it), but it also looks like the macro IS_ERR_VALUE expects the
argument to be a long.

Okay, I changed it to pass sizeof(long).
