[PATCH] Return probe redesign: x86_64 specific changes
The following patch contains the x86_64 specific changes for the new
return probe design. Changes include:
* Removing the architecture specific functions for querying a return probe
instance off a stack address
* Complete rework onf arch_prepare_kretprobe() and trampoline_probe_handler()
* Removing trampoline_post_handler()
* Adding arch_init() so that now we handle registering the return probe
trampoline instead of kernel/kprobes.c doing it
NOTE:
Note that with this new design, the dependency on calculating a pointer to
the task off the stack pointer no longer exist (resolving the problem of
interruption stacks as pointed out in the original feedback to this port.)
