This helper is used to detect if a uprobe'd function has returned through a setjmp/longjmp, rather than branching to the LR that was updated previously by us. This fixes a SIGSEGV that gets generated when programs use setjmp/longjmp with uretprobes. We use the arm64 model (arch/arm64/kernel/probes/uprobes.c: arch_uretprobe_is_alive()) for detecting when stack frames have been removed from under us.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
