Subject: [PATCH v8 6/8] riscv: Add shared instruction fetch and decode helpers
Date: Sat, 7 Nov 2026 08:09:15 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261107023917.40606-7-himanshu.chauhan@oss.qualcomm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261107023917.40606-1-himanshu.chauhan@oss.qualcomm.com>
Move get_insn() and __read_insn() out of traps_misaligned.c so
breakpoint single-step code can share the instruction fetch logic.
Add helpers to read GPR values and compute the next RISC-V PC for
control-flow instructions handled by software single stepping. The helpers
cover compressed and standard branches, jumps, JALR, and SRET.
