Here is the code which I applied this on my series.

        /* Find IP, SP and possibly regs: */
        switch (orc->type) {
        case UNWIND_HINT_TYPE_CALL:
                ip_p = sp - sizeof(long);

                if (!deref_stack_reg(state, ip_p, &state->ip))
                        goto err;

                state->ip = unwind_recover_ret_addr(state, state->ip,
                                                    (unsigned long *)ip_p);
                state->sp = sp;
                state->regs = NULL;
                state->prev_regs = NULL;
                state->signal = is_kretprobe_trampoline(state->ip);
                break;

Actually, this cause a build issue because I introduced more generic is_kretprobe_trampoline().
Anyway, after calling unwind_recover_ret_addr(), the state->ip should be fixed.
This means that the is_kretprobe_trampoline(state->ip) always be false, and
that is correct because state->ip is recovered with the correct return address
which is call instruction + 5.

So this patch seems not needed, hmm...

Thank you,
