On other archs this is handled by the tools/add-cfi* scripts. It might
be worth revisiting whether that's the right choice; for most asm
we're actually trying to get rid of the asm source files and use
inline asm so it's all up to the compiler, but that can't be done for
syscalls because we need to be able to adjust the stack for the
outgoing syscall. (Note: this is probably also an issue for inline,
non-cancellable syscalls and maybe not so easy to fix there.)
Anyway some comments:

What does this do?

I don't think pic0 corresponds to not having -fPIC; it's a weird thing
that's not used or supported. There's no reason to override any of
these (or .abicalls, which is also default and equivalent to pic2
AIUI), and the change does not seem to be at all related to adding
CFI.
I'm not sure if .cfi_sections .debug_frame is needed -- is it?

These changes are also unrelated to CFI.

And I'm not sure about all of these.

I think this part looks ok, either to be generated like on the other
archs or included.

This is not needed. musl is always ELF.
