Probably this needs more discussion, but when I look at the next patches
I think that yes, we should not add ->return_consumers and duplicate the
code add/del/each. Perhaps it would be better to add the RET_CONSUMER flag.

Better yet, we could add 2 bits perhaps... then a single consumer/register
can be used to track both events if needed, hit or/and return. But this
needs additional argument.

So perhaps we should simply add uprobe_consumer->ret_hanlder(). A user
can initialize ->hanlder or ->ret_hanlder or both before register. The
only complication is that we need the new bit in uprobe->flags for
prepare_uprobe(). consumer_add/del should set/clear this bit.

unneeded.

Yes... Plus, we should protect against other attacks...

Not sure this will always work, but lets discuss this later.

If nothing else, I wouldn't trust compare_stack_ptrs()... sigaltstack()
can fool this logic afaics.

So far I do not understand this code in details, but it seems that even
the trivial case like

	void ddos_uretpobe(void)
	{
		return ddos_uretpobe();
	}

can lead to the problem (without tail call optimization). The user-space
stack is huge, we should not allow ->return_instances to grow without
any limits, and note that this memory is not accounted.

I already mentioned that we probably do not need xol_get_trampoline_slot().
But at least we need xol_alloc_area(), yes.

However, I do not think it is fine to call it here, under ->register_rwsem.
(xol_get_trampoline_slot is even worse btw) perhaps we should do this before
handler_chain().

I think we should refactor handle_swbp/pre_ssout a bit and do _alloc before
handler_chain(). OK, we will see.

And what protects ri->uprobe? It can go away. See also my reply to 0/6.
