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 ... [<ffffffff80016d16>] regs_get_kernel_stack_nth+0x26/0x38

In regs_get_kernel_stack_nth, regs->sp contains an arbitrary value.
arch_rethook_trampoline saves the registers from the probed function in a struct pt_regs. sp is not saved. 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.
