Here is the code which I applied this on my series.

/* Find IP, SP and possibly regs: */
switch (orc->type) {
case UNWIND_HINT_TYPE_CALL:
ip_p = sp - sizeof(long);

if (!deref_stack_reg(state, ip_p, &state->ip))
goto err;

state->ip = unwind_recover_ret_addr(state, state->ip,
(unsigned long *)ip_p);
state->sp = sp;
state->regs = NULL;
state->prev_regs = NULL;
state->signal = is_kretprobe_trampoline(state->ip);
break;

Actually, this cause a build issue because I introduced more generic is_kretprobe_trampoline().
Anyway, after calling unwind_recover_ret_addr(), the state->ip should be fixed.
This means that the is_kretprobe_trampoline(state->ip) always be false, and
that is correct because state->ip is recovered with the correct return address
which is call instruction + 5.

So this patch seems not needed, hmm...

Thank you,
