The current priv spec reserves lower 2bits of mtvec (ad stvec) to indicate vectored interrupts, there’s an issue that if exception handler is word aligned but SW mis-program the lower 2bits to be non-0 value,
it is still a valid value.
So now exception will start from an incorrect PC, and depending on the instruction word on that address you will see weird behaviors or the core will just fall into infinite loop. It is very annoying to debug
this kind of issue.
Any advice on how to overcome the issue other than SW check?
