pt_regs, which is same as what the breakpoint interrupt generates.
This means that all members of pt_regs should be filled (except ss)
as interrupt handler does.

OK.

Yeah, I know, but if kprobe works on mcount with --fentry *transparently*,
it should support kretprobes.
Moreover, if we'd like to access args on the stack, sp should be able to be
handled as breakpoint-based kprobes. and that has to be done for dynamic-
events on x86-32.

as I said below (inlined comment), e.g. someone who wanna chase IF,
he needs eflags.

Please note, kprobes is the function which basically provides a
breakpoint handler in the kernel. Users expect that. So all registers
should be provided as breakpoint interrupt does. That's what I said
"transparently".
