uprobes/x86: Reimplement arch_uretprobe_is_alive()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Add the x86 specific version of arch_uretprobe_is_alive()
helper. It returns true if the stack frame mangled by
prepare_uretprobe() is still on stack. So if it returns false,
we know that the probed function has already returned.

We add the new return_instance->stack member and change the
generic code to initialize it in prepare_uretprobe, but it
should be equally useful for other architectures.

TODO: this assumes that the probed application can't use
      multiple stacks (say sigaltstack). We will try to improve
      this logic later.
