Agreed.
With or without this patch userpace can also do
foo() { <-- retprobe1
bar() {
jump to xol_area
}
}
handle_trampoline() will handle retprobe1.

Yes, but I still do not think this makes a lot of sense. But I won't argue.
And what should sys_uretprobe() do if it is not called from the trampoline?
I'd prefer force_sig(SIGILL) to punish the abuser ;) OK, OK, EINVAL.
I agree very much with Andrii,
sigreturn() exists only to allow the implementation of signal handlers. It should never be
called directly. Details of the arguments (if any) passed to sigreturn() vary depending on
the architecture.
this is how sys_uretprobe() should be treated/documented.
sigreturn() can be "improved" too. Say, it could validate sigcontext->ip
and return -EINVAL if this addr is not valid. But why?
Oleg.
