In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

riscv, bpf: Sign extend struct ops return values properly

The ns_bpf_qdisc selftest triggers a kernel panic:

The bpf_fifo_dequeue prog returns a skb which is a pointer. The pointer
is treated as a 32bit value and sign extend to 64bit in epilogue. This
behavior is right for most bpf prog types but wrong for struct ops which
requires RISC-V ABI.

So let's sign extend struct ops return values according to the function
model and RISC-V ABI([0]).
