Ret probes work by changing the value in the link register at the probe location to return to the probe rather than the calling routine. Thus the GCS needs to be updated with this address as well.
Since its possible to insert probes at locations where the current value of the LR doesn't match the GCS state this needs to be detected and handled in order to maintain the existing no-fault behavior.
