[PATCH v8 6/7] arm64: Add kernel return probes support (kretprobes)

David Long dave.long at linaro.org
Mon Aug 10 17:52:43 PDT 2015


From: Sandeepa Prabhu <sandeepa.s.prabhu at gmail.com>

The pre-handler of this special 'trampoline' kprobe executes the return
probe handler functions and restores original return address in ELR_EL1.
This way the saved pt_regs still hold the original register context to be
carried back to the probed kernel function.
