The problem is come from "__dls3's vdso decode part in musl's
ldso/dynlink.c". The ehdr->e_phnum & ehdr->e_phentsize are wrong.

I think the root cause is from musl's implementation with the wrong
elf parser. I would fix that soon.

Not elf parser, it's "aux vector just past environ[]". I think I could
solve this, but anyone who could help dig in is welcome.

I am not sure I understand what you are saying here. Point is that my
root file system, generated with musl a year or so ago, crashes with
your patch set applied. That is a regression, even if there is a bug
in musl.

Also as I said in the other part of the thread, the rootfs seems innocent,
as my completely-standard Debian riscv64 rootfs is also affected.

The merged version seems to be v12 [0] - not sure how we this discussion
ended up in v9, but I just tested this revision in two variants:

- v5.17 + this v9 -> works nicely
- v5.18-rc6 + this v9 (rebased onto it) -> breaks the boot
  The only rebase-conflict was with the introduction of restartable
  sequences and removal of the tracehook include, but turning CONFIG_RSEQ
  off doesn't seem to affect the breakage.

So it looks like something changed between 5.17 and 5.18 that causes the issue.
