In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: riscv: probes: save original sp in rethook trampoline Reading a word from the stack in a kretprobe crashes a risc-v kernel. $ cd /sys/kernel/tracing/ $ echo 'r n_tty_write $stack0' > dynamic_events $ echo 1 > events/kprobes/enable Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0000000200000128 ...

Instead, sp is decremented for arch_rethook_trampoline's local stack. Fix this crash and save the original sp along with the other registers. Use a0 as a temporary register, it is overwritten anyway.
