[PATCH v4] riscv: probes: simulate c.jal instruction
From: Xiaofeng Yuan
Date: Fri Jun 26 2026 - 20:20:55 EST
The c.jal instruction is currently marked REJECTED in kprobes
instruction decoding, but it should be SIMULATED like other
compressed jump instructions.
Add simulate_c_jal() which saves the return address to RA and
sets the program counter to the target offset, reusing
simulate_c_j for the common jump logic.

v3: fixed diff (v2 had wrong diff)
v4: use regs->ra directly; move SET_SIMULATE to group with others (per Nam Cao's review)
