[PATCH][take 2] kretprobe: kretprobe-booster against 2.6.16-rc2 for i386

[Masami Hiramatsu <hiramatu@sdl.hitachi.co.jp>]

Hi, Andrew

Here is a patch of kretprobe-booster for i386 against linux-2.6.16-rc2.
In the previous kretprobe-booster patch, I had a mistake about stack
register. In this patch, the bug is fixed.

This bug was pointed by Chuck Ebbert, and there were two different
patches(Chuck's and mine) to fix it. But both patches were dropped
from -mm tree. So, I merged my patch into kretprobe-booster patch
and attached it to this mail.

Could you replace the previous kretprobe-booster patch with this
patch?

The description of kretprobe-booster:
====================================
In the normal operation, kretprobe make a target function return
to trampoline code. A kprobe (called trampoline_probe) has
been inserted at the trampoline code. When the kernel hits this
kprobe, it calls kretprobe's handler and it returns to original
return address.

Kretprobe-booster patch removes the trampoline_probe. It allows
the tranpoline code to call kretprobe's handler directly instead
of invoking kprobe. The trampoline code returns to original return
address.

This new tranpoline code stores and restores registers, so the
kretprobe handler is still able to access those registers.
