Looking at the crashing address (by doing objdump on the vmlinux from the ddeb), it lands on the middle of an instruction.

There is afc76b8b80112189b6f11e67e19cf58301944814 ("riscv: Using PATCHABLE_FUNCTION_ENTRY instead of MCOUNT"), which doesn't refer to any bug that is fixed, but changes the way patches are applied. So, perhaps, this would help fix the issue. Possibly worth the try until this is properly debugged. I can't test it, otherwise, so @xnox, would you be able to try this upstream commit?
