To test the kprobe-based event tracing, we prepare
a kernel module 'kprobe_test.ko' to add the probes.
The assembly codes (partially) of the module are as follows:
...

Test the kprobe-based event tracing in qemu-system-riscv64:
First, install the kprobe test module:
insmod /root/kprobe_test.ko

Then, add probes as new events at the branch instructions,
i.e. blt, bge, bne, beq, bgeu and bltu.
The following errors occur due to the instructions not allowed to probe yet:
echo "p:blt kprobe_test:kprobe_test_branch+0x86 epc=%epc opcode=+0(%epc):x32" >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
sh: write error: Invalid argument
echo "p:bge kprobe_test:kprobe_test_branch+0x92 epc=%epc opcode=+0(%epc):x32" >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
sh: write error: Invalid argument
echo "p:bne kprobe_test:kprobe_test_branch+0xaa epc=%epc opcode=+0(%epc):x32" >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
sh: write error: Invalid argument
echo "p:beq kprobe_test:kprobe_test_branch+0xb0 epc=%epc opcode=+0(%epc):x32" >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
sh: write error: Invalid argument
echo "p:bgeu kprobe_test:kprobe_test_branch+0xc6 epc=%epc opcode=+0(%epc):x32" >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
sh: write error: Invalid argument
echo "p:bltu kprobe_test:kprobe_test_branch+0xd2 epc=%epc opcode=+0(%epc):x32" >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
sh: write error: Invalid argument

This patch implemented the branch simulate instructions and allowed to probe them.
Merge this patch and perform the test again, the test results are as follows:
First, add probes at the branch instructions:
echo "p:blt kprobe_test:kprobe_test_branch+0x86 epc=%epc opcode=+0(%epc):x32" >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
echo "p:bge kprobe_test:kprobe_test_branch+0x92 epc=%epc opcode=+0(%epc):x32" >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
echo "p:bne kprobe_test:kprobe_test_branch+0xaa epc=%epc opcode=+0(%epc):x32" >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
echo "p:beq kprobe_test:kprobe_test_branch+0xb0 epc=%epc opcode=+0(%epc):x32" >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
echo "p:bgeu kprobe_test:kprobe_test_branch+0xc6 epc=%epc opcode=+0(%epc):x32" >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
echo "p:bltu kprobe_test:kprobe_test_branch+0xd2 epc=%epc opcode=+0(%epc):x32" >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kprobes/blt/enable
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kprobes/bge/enable
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kprobes/bne/enable
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kprobes/beq/enable
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kprobes/bgeu/enable
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kprobes/bltu/enable

Then, do something to run to the probes.
After that, see the traced information:
cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
sysctl-63      [001] d...  2505.263969: blt: (kprobe_test_branch+0x86/0x10e [kprobe_test]) epc=0xffffffff016122f8 opcode=0x100073
sysctl-63      [001] d...  2505.263991: bge: (kprobe_test_branch+0x92/0x10e [kprobe_test]) epc=0xffffffff01612304 opcode=0x100073
sysctl-63      [001] d...  2505.264001: bne: (kprobe_test_branch+0xaa/0x10e [kprobe_test]) epc=0xffffffff0161231c opcode=0x100073
sysctl-63      [001] d...  2505.264011: beq: (kprobe_test_branch+0xb0/0x10e [kprobe_test]) epc=0xffffffff01612322 opcode=0x100073
sysctl-63      [001] d...  2505.264019: bgeu: (kprobe_test_branch+0xc6/0x10e [kprobe_test]) epc=0xffffffff01612338 opcode=0x100073
sysctl-63      [001] d...  2505.264027: bltu: (kprobe_test_branch+0xd2/0x10e [kprobe_test]) epc=0xffffffff01612344 opcode=0x100073

Now we can see the traced information.
The actual address of the symbol 'kprobe_test_branch' is as follows:
cat /proc/kallsyms | grep kprobe_test_branch
ffffffff01612272 t kprobe_test_branch   [kprobe_test]

Based on the traced information and the actual address of the symbol
'kprobe_test_branch', we can also see that the branch instructions
have been replaced by 'ebreak(0x100073)' instructions.

The pesudoinstructions of the branch instructions,
i.e. bnez, beqz, blez, bgez, bltz, bgtz, bleu, bgtu and ble
are allowed to probe as well.
