Right, I was thinking you'd do something like:
static_call_update(cond_resched, klp_cond_resched);
With:
static int klp_cond_resched(void)
{
klp_try_switch_task(current);
return __cond_resched();
}
That would force cond_resched() into doing the transition thing,
irrespective of the preemption mode at hand. And then, when KLP be done,
re-run sched_dynamic_update() to reset it to whatever it ought to be.

Yeah, no, that's broken -- preemption state live in more than just the
TIF bit.

Idem.
Also, I don't see the point of this and the __schedule() hook here:

If it schedules, you'll get it with the normal switcheroo, because it'll
be inactive some of the time. If it doesn't schedule, it'll run into
cond_resched().

I would make the klp_sched_try_switch() not depend on
sk_dynamic_cond_resched, because __cond_resched() is not a guaranteed
pass through __schedule().
But you'll probably want to check with Mark here, this all might
generate crap code on arm64.
Both ways this seems to make KLP 'depend' (or at least work lots better)
when PREEMPT_DYNAMIC=y. Do we want a PREEMPT_DYNAMIC=n fallback for
_cond_resched() too?
