Masami Hiramatsu c9becf58d9 [PATCH] kretprobe: kretprobe-booster

In normal operation, kretprobe makes a target function return to trampoline
code.  A kprobe (called trampoline_probe) has been inserted in the trampoline
code.  When the kernel hits this kprobe, it calls kretprobe's handler and it
returns to the original return address.

Kretprobe-booster removes the trampoline_probe.  It allows the trampoline code
to call kretprobe's handler directly instead of invoking kprobe.  The
trampoline code returns to the original return address.
