      Original description:
      Upstream has merged a compatibility enhancement after the fix for RHEL-2123, which we should backport as well:

      commit afe42e935b3ee97bac9a7064157587777259c60e
Author: Florian Weimer <fweimer@redhat.com>
Date:   Mon Jun 3 10:49:40 2024 +0200

    elf: Avoid some free (NULL) calls in _dl_update_slotinfo
    
    This has been confirmed to work around some interposed mallocs.  Here
    is a discussion of the impact test ust/libc-wrapper/test_libc-wrapper
    in lttng-tools:
    
      New TLS usage in libgcc_s.so.1, compatibility impact
      <https://inbox.sourceware.org/libc-alpha/8734v1ieke.fsf@oldenburg.str.redhat.com/>
    
    Reportedly, this patch also papers over a similar issue when tcmalloc
    2.9.1 is not compiled with -ftls-model=initial-exec.  Of course the
    goal really should be to compile mallocs with the initial-exec TLS
    model, but this commit appears to be a useful interim workaround.
    
    Fixes commit d2123d68275acc0f061e73d5f86ca504e0d5a344 ("elf: Fix slow
    tls access after dlopen [BZ #19924]").
