In certain cases like when the real return address can't be found or
when the number of tracked calls to a kretprobed function is less than
the number of returns, we may not be able to find the correct return
address after processing a kretprobe. Currently we just do a BUG_ON, but
no information is provided about the actual failing kretprobe.

Print out details of the kretprobe before calling BUG().

A lot of copying-and-pasting there.  Would it be better if this assertion
was performed in a library function in kernel/kprobes.c?

Indeed. Here is the updated patch...

From: Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli <ananth@in.ibm.com>

In certain cases like when the real return address can't be found or
when the number of tracked calls to a kretprobed function is less than
the number of returns, we may not be able to find the correct return
address after processing a kretprobe. Currently we just do a BUG_ON, but
no information is provided about the actual failing kretprobe.

Print out details of the kretprobe before calling BUG().
