I just tried two gcc versions: 8.2 and 4.8.5. Both asms looks good:

ffffffff81044690 <kretprobe_trampoline>:
...


ffffffff810446ab:       41 57                   push   %r15
ffffffff810446ad:       48 89 e7                mov    %rsp,%rdi
ffffffff810446b0:       e8 db 01 00 00          callq  ffffffff81044890 <trampoline_handler>

there's the CALL...

ffffffff810446b5:       48 89 84 24 98 00 00    mov    %rax,0x98(%rsp)
ffffffff810446bc:       00

... and the handler is at the expected address.

ffffffff81044890 <trampoline_handler>:
ffffffff81044890:       e8 ab c9 7b 00          callq  ffffffff81801240 <__fentry__>
ffffffff81044895:       41 57                   push   %r15
ffffffff81044897:       41 56                   push   %r14
ffffffff81044899:       41 55                   push   %r13
ffffffff8104489b:       49 89 fd                mov    %rdi,%r13

Dunno, if you feel like there might be some trouble with some compilers,
I can keep the hunk below as a separate patch and revert it when it
explodes somewhere...?
