Support perf-style return probe ("SYMBOL%return") for kprobe events.
This will allow boot-time tracing user to define a return probe event.
Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx>
---
Changes in v3:
- Update README so that user can notice the kernel supports this feature.
- Add a new error message.
