Currently kretprobe on ARM just fills r0-r11 of pt_regs, but
that is not enough for the stacktrace. Moreover, from the user
kretprobe handler, stacktrace needs a frame pointer on the
__kretprobe_trampoline.
This adds a frame pointer on __kretprobe_trampoline for both gcc
and clang case. Those have different frame pointer so we need
different but similar stack on pt_regs.
Gcc makes the frame pointer (fp) to point the 'pc' address of
the {fp, ip (=sp), lr, pc}, this means {r11, r13, r14, r15}.
Thus if we save the r11 (fp) on pt_regs->r12, we can make this
set on the end of pt_regs.
On the other hand, Clang makes the frame pointer to point the
'fp' address of {fp, lr} on stack. Since the next to the
pt_regs->lr is pt_regs->sp, I reused the pair of pt_regs->fp
and pt_regs->ip.
So this stores the 'lr' on pt_regs->ip and make the fp to point
pt_regs->fp.
For both cases, saves __kretprobe_trampoline address to
pt_regs->lr, so that the stack tracer can identify this frame
pointer has been made by the __kretprobe_trampoline.
Note that if the CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is not set, this keeps
fp as is.

Linux kernel
============
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.
