Comment (by kallisti5):
To touch on this one, we have determined a bit more. There are two known
major issues with the riscv64 port.
1) Only seen in qemu (this issue)
Adding a single dprintf in src/system/boot/loader/loader.cpp solves this
crash...
{{{
status_t status = elf_load_image(modules, name);
dprintf("DJ QUACKY QUACK\n");
}}}
The cause is unknown. Speculation has included some kind of memory
alignment issue, or some other mmu issue.
2) userspace hang #17468 - seen in qemu and the unmatched board.
This is seen on both the Unmatched hardware, and in qemu after problem 1
above is worked around. x512 has mentioned the issue happens due to the
ICU67 package (and downgrading to previous ICU 5x solves the problem).
The most likely core cause is the GCC 11.2 upgrade which occurred around
roughly the same time as the ICU version bump. Building ICU70 might
solve this problem, however more likely is some lingering bug in binaries
generated by gcc 11.2
