Naveen N. Rao 2dea1d9c38 powerpc/uprobes: Implement arch_uretprobe_is_alive()
This helper is used to detect if a uprobe'd function has returned
through a setjmp/longjmp, rather than branching to the LR that was
updated previously by us. This fixes a SIGSEGV that gets generated when
programs use setjmp/longjmp with uretprobes.

We use the arm64 model (arch/arm64/kernel/probes/uprobes.c:
arch_uretprobe_is_alive()) for detecting when stack frames have been
removed from under us.

commit 7b868e4802a86 ("uprobes/x86: Reimplement arch_uretprobe_is_alive()")
commit db087ef69a2b1 ("uprobes/x86: Make arch_uretprobe_is_alive(RP_CHECK_CALL) more
clever")

Tested with the test program from:
https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=systemtap.git;a=blob;f=testsuite/systemtap.base/bz5274.c;hb=HEAD

And this script:
    $ cat test.sh
    #!/bin/bash

    perf probe -x ./bz5274 -a bz5274_main_return=main%return
    perf probe -x ./bz5274 -a bz5274_funca_return=funca%return
    perf probe -x ./bz5274 -a bz5274_funcb_return=funcb%return
    perf probe -x ./bz5274 -a bz5274_funcc_return=funcc%return
    perf probe -x ./bz5274 -a bz5274_funcd_return=funcd%return

    perf record -e 'probe_bz5274:*' -aR ./bz5274

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

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
