This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled riscv: Set text_offset correctly for M-Mode to the 5.9-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: riscv-set-text_offset-correctly-for-m-mode.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit a4db88c1b687437fb25f734ebb7c5383a197c6e6 Author: Sean Anderson <seanga2@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Oct 22 16:30:12 2020 -0400 riscv: Set text_offset correctly for M-Mode [ Upstream commit 79605f1394261995c2b955c906a5a20fb27cdc84 ] M-Mode Linux is loaded at the start of RAM, not 2MB later. Perhaps this should be calculated based on PAGE_OFFSET somehow? Even better would be to deprecate text_offset and instead introduce something absolute.
