This is an adaptation of commitf3a112c0c4("x86,rethook,kprobes: Replace kretprobe with rethook on x86") to powerpc. Rethook follows the existing kretprobe implementation, but separates it from kprobes so that it can be used by fprobe (ftrace-based function entry/exit probes). As such, this patch also enables fprobe to work on powerpc. The only other change compared to the existing kretprobe implementation is doing the return address fixup in arch_rethook_fixup_return(). Reference to other archs: commitb57c2f1240("riscv: add riscv rethook implementation") commit7b0a096436("LoongArch: Replace kretprobe with rethook") Note: ===== In future, rethook will be only for kretprobe, and kretprobe will be replaced by fprobe. https://lore.kernel.org/all/172000134410.63468.13742222887213469474.stgit@devnote2/ We will adapt the above implementation for powerpc once its upstream. Until then, we can have this implementation of rethook to serve current kretprobe usecases.

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 reStructuredText 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.
