Subject: math.h: amend abs() kernel-doc and add a note about signed type limits
Date: Thu, 6 Nov 2025 16:20:51 +0100
- amend the kernel-doc so the description is decoupled from the
parameter descriptions.
- add a note to explain behaviour for the signed types when supplied
value is the minimum (e.g., INT_MIN for int type).
