- math: Sync acosh from CORE-MATH
Adhemerval Zanella: The CORE-MATH c423b9a3 commit made atanh to use a slight different muldd_acc and polydd (which uses muldd_acc internally) compared to previous version. - math: Sync atanh from CORE-MATH
Adhemerval Zanella: The CORE-MATH c423b9a3 commit made atanh to use a slight different muldd_acc, mulddd, and polydd (which uses muldd_acc internally) compare to asinh and acosh. - math: Sync asinh from CORE-MATH
Adhemerval Zanella: The CORE-MATH commit cd653cf7 fixes some issues for RNDZ (below).

Adhemerval Zanella: The CORE-MATH commit cd653cf7 fixes some issues for RNDZ (below). - elf: Support vDSO with more than one PT_LOAD with v_addr starting at 0 (BZ 32583)
Adhemerval Zanella: The setup_vdso assumes that vDSO will contain only one PT_LOAD segment and that 0 is the sentinel for the start mapping address. - nptl: Make pthread_{clock, timed}join{_np} act on all cancellation (BZ 33717)
Adhemerval Zanella: The pthread_join/pthread_timedjoin_np/pthread_clockjoin_np will not act on cancellation if 1. - nptl: Do not use pthread set_tid_address as state synchronization (BZ #19951)
Adhemerval Zanella: The use-after-free described in BZ#19951 is due to the use of two different PD fields, 'joinid' and 'cancelhandling', to describe the thread state and to synchronise the calls of pthread_join, pthread_detach, pthread_exit, and normal thread exit. Any state change may require checking both fields atomically to handle partial state (e.g., pthread_join() with a cancellation handler to issue a 'joinstate' field rollback). This patch uses a different PD member with 4 possible states (JOINABLE, DETACHED, EXITING, and EXITED) instead of the pthread 'tid' field, with the following logic: 1. - nptl: Optimize trylock for high cache contention workloads (BZ #33704)
Sunil K Pandey: Check lock availability before acquisition to reduce cache line bouncing. - math: Fix potential underflow on ldbl-128 erfl
Adhemerval Zanella: The multiplication operation is required only if the branch is taken, and the compiler might not optimize it away. - Deprecate s390-linux-gnu (31bit)
Stefan Liebler: The next linux 6.19 release will remove support for compat syscalls on s390x with those commits: - malloc: Enable 2MB THP by default on Aarch64
Dev Jain: Add missing files from previous commit.
