I tried to cherry-pick https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/56214 here but it's a bit tricky because precompilepkgs has changed a fair bit with the workspaces support, which isn't on 1.11. (I did add two minor backports that help reduce the merge conflicts though.) I highlight that as I think it's something we'd want to get in here. cc. @vtjnash

@IanButterworth, I attempted a cherry-pick as well. It seems to work ok.

[KristofferC]

@maleadt, seems like the llvmpasses test fails after backporting https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/56228/commits/9c94a386914d330f04a602a3aa9adf9ee9512979

julia> using JuliaInterpreter, BracedErrors

julia> bracederror(2.34567e70, 3.46e69) == @interpret bracederror(2.34567e70, 3.46e69)
false

Maybe some fast math stuff?

Please add my trivial printing speed-optimization #56331 (was this larger approved speed-optimization #56308) to this.

And this bug-fix #56340 to get interop with R to work after 1.11 broke it.

Also add this bug-fix #56278?

Okay, let's run another PkgEval and then not merge too much in here so we can fix the possible regressions and get this out.

I think the latest backport should fix Revise

[IanButterworth]

Is https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/56077 fixed on this with the latest backports?

[KristofferC]

Doesn't look like it, the PR that fixes it seems quite big to backport...

[tecosaur]

Kristoffer in another PR (but intended for here):

looks like JuliaSyntaxHighligting needs updating to work with this.

JuliaSyntaxHighligting shouldn't be included as a 1.11 stdlib though? Unless you're talking about the general-released package, which indeed needs me to backport the changes to a new release.

[KristofferC]

Unless you're talking about the general-released package, which indeed needs me to backport the changes to a new release.

Yes.

[dkarrasch]

Before releasing v1.11.2, i.e., after we merge this here, we should first merge https://github.com/JuliaSparse/SparseArrays.jl/pull/571 and then bump SparseArrays.jl on the release-v1.11 branch.
