Tobias Huschle 63bf38ff5b s390/kprobes: Avoid additional kprobe in kretprobe handling
So far, s390 registered a krobe on __kretprobe_trampoline which is
called everytime a kretprobe fires. This kprobe would then determine
the correct return address and adjust the psw accordingly, such that
the kretprobe would branch to the appropriate address after completion.

Some other archs handle kretprobes without such an additional kprobe.
This approach is adopted to s390 with this patch.
Furthermore, the __kretprobe_trampoline now uses an assembler function
to correctly gather the register and psw content to be passed to the
registered kretprobe handler as struct pt_regs. After completion, the
register content and the psw are set based on the contents of said
pt_regs struct.
Note that a change to the psw address in struct pt_regs will not have
an impact, as the probe will still return to the original return
address of the probed function.
The return address is now recovered by using the appropriate function
arch_kretprobe_fixup_return.

The no longer needed kprobe is removed.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
