CVE-2026-72028
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
riscv: probes: save original sp in rethook trampoline
Reading a word from the stack in a kretprobe crashes a risc-v kernel.
In regs_get_kernel_stack_nth, regs->sp contains an arbitrary value.
arch_rethook_trampoline saves the registers from the probed function in a struct pt_regs. sp is not saved. Instead, sp is decremented for arch_rethook_trampoline's local stack.
Fix this crash and save the original sp along with the other registers. Use a0 as a temporary register, it is overwritten anyway.
[pjw@kernel.org: added Fixes tag; cc'ed stable]
