[PATCH perf/core 0/4] Improve performance and scalability of uretprobes

[Andrii Nakryiko]

Include performance and multi-CPU scalability of uretprobes by avoiding
a rather expensive (and somewhat limiting in terms of multi-CPU scalability)
use of kmalloc()+kfree() combo for short-lived struct return_instance, used
for keeping track of pending return uprobes.

First few patches are preparatory doing some internal refactoring and setting
things up for the actual struct return_instance reuse done in the last patch
of the series.

Andrii Nakryiko (4):
  uprobes: simplify session consumer tracking
  uprobes: decouple return_instance list traversal and freeing
  uprobes: ensure return_instance is detached from the list before
    freeing
  uprobes: reuse return_instances between multiple uretprobes within
    task
