> When the failure occurs, hsdis is disassembling the last unrecognizable data at the end of a code blob, usually the data stored in trampolines. It could be theoretically any address inside the code cache, and sometimes binutils can recognize the data as 2-byte instructions, 4-byte instructions, and 6 or 8-byte instructions even though as far as I know no instructions longer than 4-byte have landed. Therefore, binutils may firstly run out of bound after the calculation. However, the RISC-V binutils returns our `hsdis_read_memory_func`'s return number directly [1] (an EIO, which is `5`, FYI), rather than returning a `-1` (FYI, [2][3][4][5]) on other platforms when such out-of-bound happens. So when coming back to our hsdis, we (hsdis) get the `size = 5` as the return value [6] rather than `-1`: our hsdis error handling is skipped, our variable `p` is out of bound, and then we meet the crash.

> BTW, the reason why the crash only happens on the physical board, is that boards support RISC-V sv39 address mode only: a legal user-space address can be no more than 38-bit. So the code cache is always mmapped to an address like `0x3fe0000000`. Such a `0x3f` is always recognized as the mark of an 8-byte instruction [9].
