With CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER, function return addresses are
modified in ftrace_graph_caller and prepare_ftrace_return to redirect
control flow to ftrace_return_to_handler. This is incompatible with
return address protection.

NAK, Put this in the arch code.

Thanks, Steven. I'll fix this and kretprobes in v2.

How difficult would it be to update the return address on the shadow
call stack along with the normal one? Not having to disable
infrastructure that is widely used by the distros would make this a
lot more palatable in the general case (even if it is Clang only at
the moment)
