oops, I just pushed before I saw this mail, let me try to triage the
issue to see if we can found a right fix for that issue

> Per the RISC-V psABI, the TLSDESC resolver clobbers a0 and t0 in the
> base case.  With the new psABI update
> (https://github.com/riscv-non-isa/riscv-elf-psabi-doc/pull/496),
> when the V extension is enabled, it additionally clobbers all vector
> registers and vector CSRs.
>
> This patch updates the clobbering of tlsdesc define_insn: clobbering
> not only a0 and t0, but also all V-regs (using 4 x LMUL8 reg
> groups covering all 32 physical V-regs), and 4 vector CSRs
> (vl/vtype/vxrm/vxstat).
>
> Three new tests are added covering GPR, vector register, and vector
> CSR clobber behavior.
>
> gcc/ChangeLog:
>
> * config/riscv/riscv.md (VXSAT_REGNUM): New constant.
> (@tlsdesc<mode>): update clobbering.
>
> gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog:
>
> * gcc.target/riscv/tlsdesc_clobber.c: New test.
> * gcc.target/riscv/tlsdesc_clobber_v.c: New test.
> * gcc.target/riscv/tlsdesc_clobber_v_csr.c: New test.
