OK, then let me update the kprobe side too.

Yes, ideally it should use CONFIG_HAVE_RETHOOK since the rethook arch port
must be a copy of the kretprobe implementation. But for safety, I think
having CONFIG_KPROBE_ON_RETHOOK is a good idea until replacing all kretprobe
implementations.

Rethook is a feature which hooks the function return. Most of the
logic came from the kretprobe. Simply to say, 'kretprobe - kprobe' is
the rethook :)

Thank you,
