But if you pass a pt_regs (as happens with bpf_getstackid -- which is what spawned this discussion) then the top-most entry of the stack will still be a trampoline because there is no ftrace_graph_ret_addr call. (I'm struggling with how to fix this -- I can't figure out what retp should be if you have a pt_regs. ->sp doesn't appear to work -- it's off by a few bytes.) I will attach what I have at the moment to hopefully explain what the issue I've found is (re-using the kretprobe architecture but with the shadow-stack idea). -- Aleksa Sarai Senior Software Engineer (Containers) SUSE Linux GmbH
