// There's a class of profilers that use "return address swizzling" to get a
// hook on function exits. This class of profilers uses some form of entry hook,
// like e.g. binary instrumentation, or a compiler flag, that calls a hook each
// time a function is invoked. The hook then switches the return address on the
// stack for the address of an exit hook function, and pushes the original
// return address to a shadow stack of some type. When in due course the CPU
// executes a return to the exit hook, the exit hook will do whatever work it
// does on function exit, then arrange to return to the original return address.
// This class of profiler does not play well with programs that look at the
// return address, as does e.g. V8. V8 uses the return address to certain
// runtime functions to find the JIT code that called it, and from there finds
// the V8 data structures associated to the JS function involved.
// A return address resolution function is used to fix this. It allows such
// programs to resolve a location on stack where a return address originally
// resided, to the shadow stack location where the profiler stashed it.
