+// 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.
