CVE-2026-72028

EUVD-2026-58986
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.

$ cd /sys/kernel/tracing/
$ echo 'r n_tty_write $stack0' > dynamic_events
$ echo 1 > events/kprobes/enable
Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0000000200000128

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.
