[RFC PATCH 00/14] kprobes: Unify kretprobe trampoline handlers

[Masami Hiramatsu]

Hi Peter,

Here is the series of patches to unify the kretprobe trampoline handler
implementation across all architectures which are currently kprobes supported.
Also, this finally removes the in_nmi() check from pre_kretprobe_handler()
since we can avoid double-lock deadlock from NMI by kprobe_busy_begin/end().

The unified generic kretprobe trampoline handler is based on x86 code, which
already support frame-pointer checker. I've enabled it on the arm and
arm64 which I can test. For other architecutres, currently the frame-pointer
checker does not work. If someone wants to enable it, please set the correct
frame pointer to ri->fp and pass it to kretprobe_trampoline_handler() as the
3rd parameter, instead of NULL.

Peter's lockless patch is not included yet because there seems more isses
to be solved. It seems that the cleanup_rp_inst() will be the biggest piece
of this pazzle.


Thank you,
