Similarly to LoongArch, IMO this should simply be
"tail __syscall_do_cancel".

Apparently _Noreturn is preventing GCC from generating a tail call for
RISC-V and LoongArch, so if you modeled the assembly following the GCC
output you'll get these sub-optimal things.  It seems a GCC bug to me.

Actually "everywhere" (but why the AArch64 code seems optimized?)

It's https://gcc.gnu.org/PR10837 and closed as WONTFIX 20 years ago :(.
And a comment from H.J. complained an impact on Glibc.

I hand optimized on some architectures, like x86_64 and aarch64.  For most
of the other architectures I just modeled after compiler generated call.
