ok, thanks

+.SH NAME
+uretprobe \- execute pending return uprobes
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.B int uretprobe(void)
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR uretprobe ()
+system call is an alternative to breakpoint instructions for triggering return
+uprobe consumers.
+.P
+Calls to
+.BR uretprobe ()
+system call are only made from the user-space trampoline provided by the 
kernel.
+Calls from any other place result in a
+.BR SIGILL .
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+The
+.BR uretprobe ()
+system call return value is architecture-specific.
+.SH ERRORS
+.TP
+.B SIGILL
+The
+.BR uretprobe ()
+system call was called by user.
+.SH VERSIONS
+Details of the
+.BR uretprobe ()
+system call behavior vary across systems.
+.SH STANDARDS
+None.
+.SH HISTORY
+TBD
+.SH NOTES
+The
+.BR uretprobe ()
+system call was initially introduced for the x86_64 architecture
+where it was shown to be faster than breakpoint traps.
+It might be extended to other architectures.
+.P
+The
+.BR uretprobe ()
+system call exists only to allow the invocation of return uprobe consumers.
+It should
+.B never
+be called directly.
+Details of the arguments (if any) passed to
+.BR uretprobe ()
+and the return value are architecture-specific.
