While this looks good, I was wondering if you did think of having the sp
in the return_instance structure itself. I mean can we use
user_stack_pointer() to populate the ri->sp?
In which case the weak function itself should suffice for most archs.

Something like this.
prepare_uretprobe() we can have
ri->sp = user_stack_pointer(regs)

and handle_trampoline() would call something like 

	arch_uretprobe_is_alive(next->sp, regs);

bool __weak arch_uretprobe_is_alive(unsigned long sp, struct pt_regs *regs)
{
	return user_stack_pointer(regs) <= sp;
}

Am I missing something?
