As well as weird edge cases like trying to filter `monow` and pixels landing in the middle of a byte.

tunables: Add glibc.elf.thp tunable for THP-aware segment alignment

16 April 13:34 - glibc - WANG Rui

Introduce a new tunable, `glibc.elf.thp`, to control Transparent Huge Page (THP) aware alignment of ELF loadable segments. When set to `1`, the dynamic loader will attempt to align sufficiently large `PT_LOAD` segments to the PMD huge page size when mapping them.

elf: Align large load segments to PMD huge page size for THP

16 April 13:34 - glibc - WANG Rui

Mapping segments that are at least the size of a PMD huge page to huge-page-aligned addresses helps make them eligible for Transparent Huge Pages (THP). This patch introduces a Linux-specific helper, `_dl_map_segment_align`, to determine an appropriate maximum alignment for ELF load segments based on the system THP policy.

loongarch: Enable THP-aligned load segments by default on 64-bit

16 April 13:34 - glibc - WANG Rui

On LoongArch64 Linux, aligning ELF load segments to Transparent Huge Page (THP) boundaries provides consistent performance benefits for large binaries by reducing TLB pressure and improving instruction fetch efficiency. Enable THP-based load segment alignment by default on LoongArch64 by setting `glibc.elf.thp=1` during startup.

avformat/wavenc: Keep fmt chunk first for -rf64 auto

16 April 09:12 - FFmpeg - Daniel Verkamp

When the WAV muxer's `-rf64 auto` option is used, the output is intended to be a normal WAV file if possible, only extended to RF64 format when the file size grows too large.

avcodec/lcevc: make CBS reallocate the LCEVC payload

15 April 19:13 - FFmpeg - James Almer

Frame side data unfortunately lacks padding, which CBS needs, so we can't reuse the existing AVBufferRef.
