Masami Hiramatsu bf094cffea x86/kprobes: Fixup return address in generic trampoline handler
In x86, the fake return address on the stack saved by
__kretprobe_trampoline() will be replaced with the real return
address after returning from trampoline_handler(). Before fixing
the return address, the real return address can be found in the
'current->kretprobe_instances'.

However, since there is a window between updating the
'current->kretprobe_instances' and fixing the address on the stack,
if an interrupt happens at that timing and the interrupt handler
does stacktrace, it may fail to unwind because it can not get
the correct return address from 'current->kretprobe_instances'.

This will eliminate that window by fixing the return address
right before updating 'current->kretprobe_instances'.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
