[PATCH -tip v10 13/16] x86/kprobes: Push a fake return address at kretprobe_trampoline

From: Masami Hiramatsu
Date: Thu Jul 29 2021 - 10:10:09 EST


Change __kretprobe_trampoline() to push the address of the
__kretprobe_trampoline() as a fake return address at the bottom
of the stack frame. This fake return address will be replaced
with the correct return address in the trampoline_handler().

With this change, the ORC unwinder can check whether the return
address is modified by kretprobes or not.
