After a lengthy discussion [1] it turned out that RCU does not need a full rcu_irq_enter/exit() when RCU is already watching. All it needs if NOHZ_FULL is active is to check whether the tick needs to be restarted. This allows to avoid a separate variant for the pagefault handler which cannot invoke rcu_irq_enter() on a kernel pagefault which might sleep. The cond_rcu argument is only temporary and will be removed once the existing users of idtentry_enter/exit() have been cleaned up. After that the code can be significantly simplified.
