[RFC PATCH 10/12] riscv/traps: Introduce software check exception

Deepak Gupta debug at rivosinc.com
Mon Apr 8 23:10:41 PDT 2024


zicfiss / zicfilp introduces a new exception to priv isa `software check
exception` with cause code = 18. This patch implements software check
exception.

If sw check exception was triggered while in usermode, unknown trap is
triggered for usermode. If sw check exception was triggered for kernel
mode, kernel dies.
