What changed since Xianting posted it himself a week ago:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-riscv/20220828135407.3897717-1-xianting.tian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

There's an older patch from Du Lao adding STACKLEAK too:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-riscv/20220615213834.3116135-1-daolu@xxxxxxxxxxxx/

But since there's been no activity there since June...
