When use 'echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger' to trigger kdump, riscv_crash_save_regs() will be called to save regs for vmcore, we found "epc" value 00ffffffa5537400 is not a valid kernel virtual address, but is a user virtual address. Other regs(eg, ra, sp, gp...) are correct kernel virtual address. Actually 0x00ffffffb0dd9400 is the user mode PC of 'PID: 113 Comm: sh', which is saved in the task's stack.
