Subject: [PATCH] riscv: vector: Fix data pointer constraints in context save/restore
Date: Tue, 08 Sep 2026 21:03:37 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260908-riscv-vector-asm-fix-v1-1-147f314efb2b@linux.dev> (raw)
The standard vector save/restore asm advances datap but declares it as
input-only. An inlined caller reusing the original pointer may therefore
use the advanced address instead.
Declare datap as read-write so the compiler can preserve the original
pointer when needed.
Fixes: 03c3fcd9941a ("riscv: Introduce struct/helpers to save/restore per-task Vector state")
