[PATCH] Kprobes: Incorrect handling of probes on ret/lret instruction
Kprobes could not handle the insertion of a probe on the ret/lret
instruction and used to oops after single stepping since kprobes was
modifying eip/rip incorrectly. Adjustment of eip/rip is not required after
single stepping in case of ret/lret instruction, because eip/rip points to
the correct location after execution of the ret/lret instruction. This
patch fixes the above problem.
