Sorry for delay,

Currently ret-probes can't work (the application will likely crash)
if the probed function does not return, and this is even documented
in handle_trampoline().

This series tries to make the first step to fix the problem, assuming
that the probed functions use the same stack.

TODO: sigaltstack() can obviously break this assumption.

NOTE: I don't think it is possible to make this logic 100% correct,
the user-space can do everything with its stack. For example, the
application can do longjmp-like tricks to implement the coroutines,
the kernel can do nothing in this case. The application (or debugger)
should cooperate somehow to let the kernel know whats going on.

v2, based on disccsussion with Srikar and Pratyush:

	1-5:  Unchanged, I preserved the acks from Srikar.

	6-11: The only essential change is that we do not add the
	      (ugly) arch_uretprobe, we just export return_instance
	      to arch/.

	      This means that we do not need to touch the !x86 code,
	      and return_instance->stack can be initialized by the
	      generic code.

	      Srikar, I hope you can ack v2 too.

	10/11: New. As Pratyush pointed out "bool on_call" is too
	       limited.

Plus v2 fixes the problem mentioned in "self nack" email, we must
not do cleanup_return_instances() after prepare_uretprobe() checks
chained && utask->return_instances != NULL.

Oleg.
