I'm not sure what you mean by the above. Access what memory?

I didn't mention kretprobe. If you need access to the exit of the function,
you can use Masami's fgraph update.

 fentry -> ftrace_trampoline -> your_code

For fgraph:

 fentry -> ftrace_trampoline -> fgraph [sets up return call] -> your_entry_code

 function ret -> fgraph_ret_handler -> your_exit_code

And you will be able to pass data from the entry to the exit code,
including parameters.
