In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

riscv: fix oops caused by irqsoff latency tracer

The trace_hardirqs_{on,off}() require the caller to setup frame pointer properly. This because these two functions use macro 'CALLER_ADDR1' (aka. __builtin_return_address(1)) to acquire caller info. If the $fp is used for other purpose, the code generated this macro (as below) could trigger memory access fault.

This because the $fp(aka. $s0) register is not used as frame pointer in the assembly entry code.

resume_kernel:
    REG_L s0, TASK_TI_PREEMPT_COUNT(tp)
    bnez s0, restore_all
    REG_L s0, TASK_TI_FLAGS(tp)
            andi s0, s0, _TIF_NEED_RESCHED
            beqz s0, restore_all
            call preempt_schedule_irq
            j restore_all

To fix above issue, here we add one extra level wrapper for function trace_hardirqs_{on,off}() so they can be safely called by low level entry code.
