[PATCH fixes] riscv: uprobes: Add missing fence.i after building the XOL buffer

From: Björn Töpel
Date: Thu Apr 17 2025 - 03:50:14 EST


From: Björn Töpel <bjorn@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

The XOL (execute out-of-line) buffer is used to single-step the
replaced instruction(s) for uprobes. The RISC-V port was missing a
proper fence.i (i$ flushing) after constructing the XOL buffer, which
can result in incorrect execution of stale/broken instructions.

This was found running the BPF selftests "test_progs:
uprobe_autoattach, attach_probe" on the Spacemit K1/X60, where the
uprobes tests randomly blew up.
