I think you mean this loop will skip and discard the stacked return_instance
to find the valid one.

        do {
                /*
                 * We should throw out the frames invalidated by longjmp().
                 * If this chain is valid, then the next one should be alive
                 * or NULL; the latter case means that nobody but ri->func
                 * could hit this trampoline on return. TODO: sigaltstack().
                 */
                next = find_next_ret_chain(ri);
                valid = !next || arch_uretprobe_is_alive(next, RP_CHECK_RET, regs);

                instruction_pointer_set(regs, ri->orig_ret_vaddr);
                do {
                        if (valid)
                                handle_uretprobe_chain(ri, regs);
                        ri = free_ret_instance(ri);
                        utask->depth--;
                } while (ri != next);
        } while (!valid);

I think this expects setjmp/longjmp as below

foo() { <- retprobe1
	setjmp()
	bar() { <- retprobe2
		longjmp()
	}
} <- return to trampoline

In this case, we need to skip retprobe2's instance.
My concern is, if we can not find appropriate return instance, what happen?
e.g.

foo() { <-- retprobe1
   bar() { # sp is decremented
       sys_uretprobe() <-- ??
    }
}

It seems sys_uretprobe() will handle retprobe1 at that point instead of
SIGILL.

Can we avoid this with below strict check?

if (ri->stack != regs->sp + expected_offset)
	goto sigill;

expected_offset should be 16 (push * 3 - ret) on x64 if we ri->stack is the
regs->sp right after call.

Thank you,
