Hmm, don't you need restoring the previous instruction pointer here?
If you don't support modifying the instruction pointer in the handler,
it must not be compatible with kprobes.

Now BPF function override and function error injection depends on
this behevior, so could you consider to support it in the "ftrace"
implementation at first? (And if it is enabled, you can enable the
livepatch on RISCV too)

Thank you,
