why endbr is there?
The trampoline is called with a direct call.

To avoid introducing a new syscall for a very similar operation
can we disambiguate uprobe vs uretprobe via %rdi or
some other way?
imo not too late to change uretprobe api.
Maybe it was discussed already.

In later patches I see nop5 is replaced with a call to
uprobe_trampoline_entry, but which part saves
rdi and other regs?
Compiler doesn't automatically spill/fill around USDT's nop/nop5.
Selftest is doing:
+__naked noinline void uprobe_test(void)
so just lucky ?
