The ftrace selftest multiple_kprobes.tc registers kprobe events on the first 256 text symbols from /proc/kallsyms. If handle_break() is selected as a probe target on RISC-V, the breakpoint exception path can trap again before it reaches the kprobe breakpoint handler. That recursively enters do_trap_break() and can make the system unresponsive. Mark handle_break() and its local probe dispatch helpers as nokprobe symbols so they are added to the kprobe blacklist, matching other low-level breakpoint exception paths.
