arm64: kprobes: Cleanup jprobe_return
jprobe_return seems to have aged badly. Comments referring to non-existent behaviours, and a dangerous habit of messing with registers without telling the compiler. This patches applies the following remedies: - Fix the comments to describe the actual behaviour - Tidy up the asm sequence to directly assign the stack pointer without clobbering extra registers - Mark the rest of the function as unreachable() so that the compiler knows that there is no need for an epilogue - Stop making jprobe_return_break a global function (you really don't want to call that guy, and it isn't even a function). Tested with tcp_probe. Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
