Review new patches and restart review at the top.

​ * State NEW delegate NOBODY at 494 patches.
 * Carlos's SLI at 370 days average patch age in queue and 184401 accumulated patch days.
 * Starting at 99667.
 * [v7] elf: Handle static PIE with non-zero load address [BZ #31799] (HJ)
  * Reviewer Pool: Carlos
  * Previously assigned v5 to Carlos for review to gather consensus on decision.
 * [1/2] Revert "elf: Run constructors on cyclic recursive dlopen (bug 31986)" (Florian)
  * Carlos: Revert should be pushed per policy for reverts. The new test needs review though.
  * Carlos: Commented on list for the revert.
 * Add test of ELF hash collisions (Joseph)
  * Reviewr Pool: Florian.
 * Add more CORE-MATH on libm (Adhemerval)
  * Carlos: I can't review the correctness of the implementation, but I think we can review the import.
  * Reviewer Pool: DJ Delorie
  * The review here is mechanical in nature, license, and other things that are already approved. The structure of the changes matter for integration into glibc.

  * Superseded.
 * [v10] linux: Add support for getrandom vDSO (Adhemerval)
  * Florian to review.

  * Carlos: Asked if there was a microbenchmark to show the benefit?
 * elf: Change ldconfig auxcache magic number (bug 32231) (Florian)
  * Approved by Adhemerval.
  * Adhemerval: Confirmed that this was OK to backport.
  * Carlos: No objections, it should be safe to backport to a point just before the change that introduces the format change.
 * nptl: Add <thread_pointer.h> for LoongArch (Michael)
  * Reviewer Pool: Arjun
 * nptl: Add <thread_pointer.h> for sparc (Michael)

 * Stopped at 99382 with the Arm GCS patches.
 * Adhemerval: getrandom?
  * Florian will look at this again this week.
 * Carlos: What about getrandom improvements?
  * Adhemerval: I can look at this again this week.
 * Carlos: Downstream testing is ongoing for pthread condvar signal stealing fix.
  * Carlos: I think we should accept Malte and Frank's patch, and then improve the testing.

  * Reviewer Pool: Wilco.
