It appears that this patch somehow breaks userland, at least the rust
compiler. This can be observed for instance by building the rust-lsd
package in Debian, but many other rust packages are also affected:

* Failed build with kernel 6.5.3:
  https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=rust-lsd&arch=riscv64&ver=0.23.1-7%2Bb1&stamp=1696475386&raw=0

* Successful build with kernel 6.4.13:
  https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=rust-lsd&arch=riscv64&ver=0.23.1-7%2Bb1&stamp=1696491025&raw=0

It happens on hardware which does not have the V extension (in the above
case on a Hifive Unmatched board). This can also be reproduced in a QEMU
VM. Unfortunately disabling CONFIG_RISCV_ISA_V does not workaround the
issue.

It is not clear to me if it is a kernel issue or a wrong assumption on
the rust side. Any hint on how to continue investigating?

Regards
Aurelien
