Libbpf eBPF macro PT_REGS_RET
The PT_REGS_RET macro make it easy to extract the return address from struct pt_regs style contexts in an architecture-independent way.
Usage
Since the struct pt_regs type represents the state of the CPU registers, it is different for every architecture. The PT_REGS_RET macro picks the correct register in the struct pt_regs type depending on the calling convention of the architecture.
The return address tells you the address of the caller of the current function.
The architecture for which the eBPF program is compiled is determined by setting one of the __TARGET_ARCH_{arch} macros. These are typically set by passing a flag to the compiler, such as -D__TARGET_ARCH_x86 for x86. This allows for easy cross-compilation of eBPF programs for different architectures by changing the compiler invocation.
