That doesn't look like it is fixed in later stable kernels (we are at
6.1.42-rcN right now I think). It sounds we should ask Greg to backport
0b1d60d6dd9e ("riscv: Fix build with CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y")
to 6.1. Does that make sense to you?

Yes. 6.1 is lts kernel. Starfive will use this kernel for a long time. Thanks.

What is preventing you from moving to a newer kernel version?  All of
your kernel changes are already properly merged into Linus's tree,
right?

Regardless of their reasons, "vdso.so call cpu_relax cause application
core dump" is something that we should fix in stable kernels, no?

It doesn't apply cleanly as a cherry-pick onto linux-6.1, so it'll need
to be submitted. Maybe Minda can do that, since they've got an already
