The XOL (execute out-of-line) buffer is used to single-step the
replaced instruction(s) for uprobes. The RISC-V port was missing a
proper fence.i (i$ flushing) after constructing the XOL buffer, which
can result in incorrect execution of stale/broken instructions.

This was found running the BPF selftests "test_progs:
uprobe_autoattach, attach_probe" on the Spacemit K1/X60, where the
uprobes tests randomly blew up.

Fixes: 74784081aac8 ("riscv: Add uprobes supported")

Good catch, Thx!

This works because flush_icache_range currently ignores the range, but
semantically is not quite right, because of the line just above the context that
increments dst. If the range was respected, this would only flush the ebreak,
not the preceding single-stepped instruction.

Samuel

Indeed! That was sloppy! I'll spin a v2!

Thank you!
