[RFC PATCH v3 0/6] uprobes: return probe implementation

[Anton Arapov]

Hello,

  RFC v3 uretprobes implementation. I'd be grateful for review.

  These patches extending uprobes by enabling tools, such as perf(trace_event),
set a breakpoint on probed function's return address. 

v3 changes:
  - removed uretprobe_bypass logic, it will be better to send it as
    independent patch
  - unified xol_get_trampoline_slot() and xol_get_insn_slot()
  - protected uprobe with refcounter in prepare_uretprobe()
  - uprobe_register() routine fails now, if neither consumer is set
  - enclosed implementation into 1/6, 6/6 patches -ENOSYS bits

v2 changes:
  - introduced rp_handler(), get rid of return_consumers
  - get rid of uretprobe_[un]register()
  - introduced arch_uretprobe_get_sp()
  - removed uprobe_task->doomed, kill task immediately
  - fix arch_uretprobe_hijack_return_addr()'s returns
  - address the v1 minor issues
