Thank you very much for taking the time to review this PR. We have rebased it onto dev and updated the mret MPP handling for harts without U-mode, with focused validation of the affected behavior. Could you please let us know what further code, test, or PR changes you would recommend? We will gladly adjust the patch to match the project guidelines. |

riscv: keep mstatus.MPP=M after mret on harts without U-mode
Fixes #2391
Problem
helper_mretalways writesmstatus.MPP = PRV_U. On a hart whose MISA omits U, M is the least-privileged supported mode, so the post-mretMPP state must remain M.Change
Update
qemu/target/riscv/op_helper.c:helper_mret()to selectPRV_UwhenRVUis present andPRV_Motherwise, matching the supported privilege modes of the hart.Validation
devand built the RISC-V targets.test_riscvsuite passes.riscv_anyconfiguration leaves the post-mretprivilege state at M; the U-enabled control remains unchanged.
