Expose orig_a0 to userspace to ensure that users can modify
the actual value of `a0` in the traced process through the
ptrace(PTRACE_SETREGSET, ...) path. Since user_regs_struct is
a subset of pt_regs, we also need to adjust the position of
the orig_a0 field in pt_regs to achieve the correct copy.

This is a good addition!

Since orig_a0 is no longer at the bottom of pt_regs, MAX_REG_OFFSET is
now incorrect.

Can you adjust the value of:

#define MAX_REG_OFFSET offsetof(struct pt_regs, orig_a0)

in arch/riscv/include/asm/ptrace.h to be:

#define MAX_REG_OFFSET offsetof(struct pt_regs, cause)

This is something that is very easy to miss. I think it would be
valuable to leave a comment at the top of struct pt_regs pointing out
that MAX_REG_OFFSET needs to be adjusted if struct pt_regs changes.

Oh, good idea!  I'm sorry for missing such an important point earlier.

Once enough information is gathered from this RFC, I will include what you mentioned in the V1 series.

Thanks,
Quan
