I missed your removing "__ret & mask" at the end. So this may not the problem.

Your patch can't boot. After chewing your code for several hours, I
found a problem:

But the lkvm-static still can't boot with paravirt_spinlock .... Are
there any atomic tests in the Linux?

I found you use some "register int variables". Would it cause the problem?

You can reference this file, and it has passed the lock torture test:
https://github.com/guoren83/linux/blob/sg2042-master-qspinlock-64ilp32_v4/arch/riscv/include/asm/cmpxchg.h

I also merged your patches with the qspinlock series: (Use the above
cmpxchg.h the lkvm would run normally.)
