====================
adding support for bpf_get_func_ip helper for uprobe program to return
probed address for both uprobe and return uprobe as suggested by Andrii
in [1].
We agreed that uprobe can have special use of bpf_get_func_ip helper
that differs from kprobe.
The kprobe bpf_get_func_ip returns:
- address of the function if probe is attach on function entry
for both kprobe and return kprobe
- 0 if the probe is not attach on function entry
The uprobe bpf_get_func_ip returns:
- address of the probe for both uprobe and return uprobe
The reason for this semantic change is that kernel can't really tell
if the probe user space address is function entry.
v3 changes:
- removed bpf_get_func_ip_uprobe helper function [Yonghong]

============
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.
