Merge branch 'kprobes: rethook: x86: Replace kretprobe trampoline with rethook'
Masami Hiramatsu says:
====================
Here are the 3rd version for generic kretprobe and kretprobe on x86 for
replacing the kretprobe trampoline with rethook. The previous version
is here[1]
[1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/164821817332.2373735.12048266953420821089.stgit@devnote2/T/#u
This version fixed typo and build issues for bpf-next and CONFIG_RETHOOK=y
error. I also add temporary mitigation lines for ANNOTATE_NOENDBR macro
issue for bpf-next tree [2/4].
This will be removed after merging kernel IBT series.
Background:
This rethook came from Jiri's request of multiple kprobe for bpf[2].
He tried to solve an issue that starting bpf with multiple kprobe will
take a long time because bpf-kprobe will wait for RCU grace period for
sync rcu events.
Jiri wanted to attach a single bpf handler to multiple kprobes and
he tried to introduce multiple-probe interface to kprobe. So I asked
him to use ftrace and kretprobe-like hook if it is only for the
function entry and exit, instead of adding ad-hoc interface
to kprobes.
For this purpose, I introduced the fprobe (kprobe like interface for
ftrace) with the rethook (this is a generic return hook feature for
fprobe exit handler)[3].

The rethook is basically same as the kretprobe trampoline. I just made
it decoupled from kprobes. Eventually, the all arch dependent kretprobe
trampolines will be replaced with the rethook trampoline instead of
cloning and set HAVE_RETHOOK=y.
When I port the rethook for all arch which supports kretprobe, the
legacy kretprobe specific code (which is for CONFIG_KRETPROBE_ON_RETHOOK=n)
will be removed eventually.
