[PATCH 1/7] uretprobes: preparation patch

From: Anton Arapov
Date: Fri Mar 22 2013 - 09:09:39 EST


Enclose return probes implementation, introduce ->rp_handler() and update
existing code to rely on ->handler() *and* ->rp_handler() for uprobe and
uretprobe respectively.

RFCv5 changes:
- don't remove uprobe in case there are no uprobe consumer(handler),
see handler_chain() changes.

RFCv3 changes: (the patch is introduced in v3)
- check whether at least one of the consumer's handlers were set.
- a 'TODO' cap that will be removed once return probes be implemented.
- introduce ->rp_handler().
