The attached program works for me.

I don't know what this is supposed to mean, though:

/* See if the page is under TASK_SIZE */
if (vsyscall_ehdr < (unsigned long) envp)
vsyscall_ehdr = 0;

First, envp != TASK_SIZE.

Second, the vDSO can be wherever it wants. On current kernels at
least it is *always* mapped below TASK_SIZE (in the unsigned sense)
because it's mapped into user address space.

#include <unistd.h>

extern char **environ;

int __captured_argc;
char **__captured_argv;
char **__captured_envp;
Elf64_auxv_t *__captured_auxv;

void _capture_args(int argc, char **argv, char **envp)
{
__captured_argc = argc;
__captured_argv = argv;
__captured_envp = envp;

while(*envp)
envp++;

__captured_auxv = (Elf64_auxv_t*)(envp + 1);
}

static void * initarray_entry __attribute__((section(".preinit_array"), used)) =
(void*)_capture_args;

int main()
{
printf("envp = %p\n", __captured_envp);

for (int i = 0; __captured_auxv[i].a_type != AT_NULL; i++)
{
char *desc = "";
if (__captured_auxv[i].a_type == AT_SYSINFO)
desc = "AT_SYSINFO";
else if (__captured_auxv[i].a_type == AT_SYSINFO_EHDR)
desc = "AT_SYSINFO_EHDR";
printf("aux type %02u = 0x%016lX %s\n",
__captured_auxv[i].a_type, (long)__captured_auxv[i].a_un.a_val,
desc);
}
return 0;
}
