[PATCH 0/2] riscv: kprobes: simulate nop and c.nop instructions

[Xiaofeng Yuan <yuanxiaofeng@eswincomputing.com>]

nop and c.nop have no architectural effect, so handling them through
an out-of-line instruction slot and single-stepping is pure overhead.
This series simulates them directly in the breakpoint handler by
advancing the program counter, following the approach already used on
arm64, and extends the RISC-V kprobes KUnit test to cover both paths.

Patch 1 adds the simulation. Patch 2 extends the KUnit test with
test_kprobes_nop and test_kprobes_c_nop.

Verified by cross-compiling for RISC-V and running the kprobes KUnit
test in QEMU (ok 1 kprobes_riscv).
