The kprobes fault handler is called if an exception is
generated for any instruction within the fault-handler or when
Kprobes single-steps the probed instruction.
AFAIK kprobes does not handle page faults in the above case and just returns
immediately resuming the normal execution.

In the below code, I moved jprobe_return_end to inline assembler statement.

void jprobe_return(void)
{
preempt_enable_no_resched();
asm volatile (" xchg %%rbx,%%rsp \n"
" int3 \n"
" .globl jprobe_return_end \n"
" jprobe_return_end: \n"
" nop \n"::"b"
(jprobe_saved_rsp):"memory");
}
