Indeed. I would like to replace the trampoline code of kretprobe with
rethook, eventually. There is no reason why we keep the clone.
(But I need more arch maintainers help for that, there are too many
 archs implemented kretprobes)

I'm not sure this part. Since the return trampoline should run in the same
context of the called function, isn't ss same there too?

Thank you,
