With a basic facility missing in the kernel, systemtap users are
forced to wait for "uretprobes" to be finished / merged.
An alternative is the stap --runtime=dyninst backend, which would have
to be enabled in your systemtap build/distro, and is still relatively
young code.
(Another alternative is to use an older Fedora or any RHEL[56] distro,
where the kernel utrace patches were applied, and thus systemtap users
have full function-return-probing powers.)
