[PATCH v2 07/11] uprobes/x86: Reimplement arch_uretprobe_is_alive()

From: Oleg Nesterov
Date: Mon Jul 06 2015 - 21:24:51 EST


Add the x86-specific version of arch_uretprobe_is_alive() helper.
It returns true if the stack frame mangled by prepare_uretprobe()
is still on stack. So if it returns false, we know that the probed
function has already returned.

We add the new return_instance->stack member and change the generic
code to initialize it in prepare_uretprobe, but it should be equally
useful for other architectures.

TODO: this assumes that the probed application can't use multiple
stacks (say sigaltstack). We will try to improve this logic later.
