[PATCH v2] riscv: Dump user opcode bytes on fatal faults

From: Yunhui Cui
Date: Wed Mar 29 2023 - 04:30:40 EST


We encountered such a problem that when the system starts to execute
init, init exits unexpectedly with error message: "unhandled signal 4
code 0x1 ...".

We are more curious about which instruction execution caused the
exception. After dumping it through show_opcodes(), we found that it
was caused by a floating-point instruction.

In this way, we found the problem: in the system bringup , it is
precisely that we have not enabled the floating point function(CONFIG_FPU
is set, but not enalbe COMPAT_HWCAP_ISA_F/D in the dts or acpi).

Like commit ba54d856a9d8 ("x86/fault: Dump user opcode bytes on fatal
faults"), when an exception occurs, it is necessary to dump the
instruction that caused the exception.
