[PATCH v5] riscv: probes: simulate c.jal instruction
From: Xiaofeng Yuan
Date: Sat Jun 27 2026 - 08:45:04 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.
Since c.jal is RV32-only, guard the implementation with
Signed-off-by: Xiaofeng Yuan <xiaofengmian@xxxxxxx>
#if __riscv_xlen == 32.
---
v4: use regs->ra directly; reorder SET_SIMULATE (per Nam Cao's review)
v5: add #if __riscv_xlen == 32 guard (per Charlie Li's review); removed test case (already provided by Nam Cao)
