Can you please use 'entry:' as prefix. Slapping kmsan in front of

That should be:

     from the non-instrumented part
or
     passed to the instrumented part

right?

I can see what you are trying to do, but this will end up doing the same
thing over and over. Let's just look at a syscall.

__visible noinstr void do_syscall_64(struct pt_regs *regs, int nr)
{
        ...
	nr = syscall_enter_from_user_mode(regs, nr)

  		__enter_from_user_mode(regs)
              		.....
			instrumentation_begin_with_regs(regs);
			....

                instrumentation_begin_with_regs(regs);
                ....                     

	instrumentation_begin_with_regs(regs);

	if (!do_syscall_x64(regs, nr) && !do_syscall_x32(regs, nr) && nr != -1) {
		/* Invalid system call, but still a system call. */
		regs->ax = __x64_sys_ni_syscall(regs);
	}

	instrumentation_end();

        syscall_exit_to_user_mode(regs);
		instrumentation_begin_with_regs(regs);
  		__syscall_exit_to_user_mode_work(regs);
  	instrumentation_end();
  	__exit_to_user_mode();

That means you memset state four times and unpoison regs four times. I'm
not sure whether that's desired.

instrumentation_begin()/end() are not really suitable IMO. They were
added to allow objtool to validate that nothing escapes into
instrumentable code unless annotated accordingly.

Thanks,
