In MUSL, __syscall_cp_c() polls for __pthread_self()->cancel not equal to zero, and if true, calls __cancel() to stop the thread. This code is all correct, but when Rust apps make a syscall, either the __pthread_self() pointer is bad, or the value of ->cancel is bad (0x10000 typeically), and the attempt to cancel the sole thread crashes with SIGSEGV.
This is only a problem for Rust apps built with Rust 1.71.0 or newer, Older builds of rustc don't repro the issue. I'll investigate.
Here is a typical callstack from a SIGSEGV during a syscall for open() in a single-threaded app that isn't using pthreads for anything:
