Since the rethook::handler is an RCU-maganged pointer so that it will
notice readers the rethook is stopped (unregistered) or not, it should
be an __rcu pointer and use appropriate functions to be accessed. This
will use appropriate memory barrier when accessing it. OTOH,
rethook::data is never changed, so we don't need to check it in
get_kretprobe().

NOTE: To avoid sparse warning, rethook::handler is defined by a raw
function pointer type with __rcu instead of rethook_handler_t.

History
Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
