We stopped adding "Contributed by" or similar lines in sources in 2012
in favour of git logs and keeping the Contributors section of the
glibc manual up to date. Removing these lines makes the license
header a bit more consistent across files and also removes the
possibility of error in attribution when license blocks or files are
copied across since the contributed-by lines don't actually reflect
reality in those cases.
Move all "Contributed by" and similar lines (Written by, Test by,
etc.) into a new file CONTRIBUTED-BY to retain record of these
contributions. These contributors are also mentioned in
manual/contrib.texi, so we just maintain this additional record as a
courtesy to the earlier developers.
The following scripts were used to filter a list of files to edit in
place and to clean up the CONTRIBUTED-BY file respectively. These
were not added to the glibc sources because they're not expected to be
of any use in future given that this is a one time task:

When using LLD (LLVM linker) as the linker, configure prints a confusing
message.
*** These critical programs are missing or too old: GNU ld
LLD>=13.0.0 can build glibc --enable-static-pie. (8.0.0 needs one
workaround for -Wl,-defsym=_begin=0. 9.0.0 works with
--disable-static-pie).
XFAIL two tests sysdeps/x86/tst-ifunc-isa-* which have the BZ #28154
issue (LLD follows the PowerPC port of GNU ld for ifunc by placing
IRELATIVE relocations in .rela.dyn, triggering a glibc ifunc fragility).
The set of dynamic symbols is the same with GNU ld and LLD,
modulo unused SHN_ABS version node symbols.
For comparison, gold does not support --enable-static-pie
yet (--no-dynamic-linker is unsupported BZ #22221), yet
has 6 failures more than LLD. gold linked libc.so has
larger .dynsym differences with GNU ld and LLD
(non-default version symbols are changed to default versions
by a version script BZ #28196).
No "#pragma GCC" pragma allows macro-expansion of its arguments, so no
namespace issues arise from use of such pragmas in installed headers.

* scripttempl/elf.sc: Group .text.exit, text.startup and .text.hot

places .text.startup section before .text section, which leave the main
function out of profiling records.
Starting from binutils 2.15, linker provides __executable_start to mark
the lowest address of the executable. Use __executable_start as the
lowest address to keep the main function in profiling records. This fixes
[BZ #28153].
Tested on Linux/x86-64, Linux/x32 and Linux/i686 as well as with
build-many-glibcs.py.
On the Hurd, the errno values don't start at 0, so _sys_errlist_internal
needs index remapping. The _sys_errlist_internal definition already properly
uses ERR_MAP, but __get_errlist and __get_errname were not.
Current GCC mainline produces -Wstringop-overflow errors building some
iconv converters, as discussed at
<https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc/2021-July/236943.html>. Add an
__builtin_unreachable call as suggested so that GCC can see the case
that would involve a buffer overflow is unreachable; because the
unreachability depends on valid conversion state being passed into the
function from previous conversion steps, it's not something the
compiler can reasonably deduce on its own.
Tested with build-many-glibcs.py that, together with
<https://sourceware.org/pipermail/libc-alpha/2021-August/130244.html>,
it restores the glibc build for powerpc-linux-gnu.
Avoid triggering a false positive from valgrind by copying the terminating
null in tunables_strdup. At this point the heap is still clean, but
valgrind is stricter here.
Record only the relative address of the caller in mtrace file. Use
LD_TRACE_PRELINKING to get the executable as well as binary vs
executable load offsets so that we may compute a base to add to the
relative address in the mtrace file. This allows us to get a valid
address to pass to addr2line in all cases.

The Autoconf documentation for the AC_CACHE_CHECK macro states:
The commands-to-set-it must have no side effects except for setting
the variable cache-id, see below.
However, the tests for support of -msahf and -mmovbe were embedded in
the commands-to-set-it for lib_cv_include_x86_isa_level. This had the
consequence that libc_cv_have_x86_lahf_sahf and libc_cv_have_x86_movbe
were not defined whenever lib_cv_include_x86_isa_level was read from
cache. These variables' being undefined meant that their unquoted use
in later test expressions led to the 'test' built-in's misparsing its
arguments and emitting errors like "test: =: unexpected operator" or
"test: =: unary operator expected", depending on the particular shell.
This commit refactors the tests for LAHF/SAHF and MOVBE instruction
support into their own AC_CACHE_CHECK macro invocations to obey the
rule that the commands-to-set-it must have no side effects other than
setting the variable named by cache-id.

Also delete tst-tls2.c which tests .tls_common (unused by modern GCC and

identical after linking, so the runtime test doesn't add additional

Gnumach's 0650a4ee30e3 implements support for high bits being set in the
mask parameter of vm_map. This allows to remove the fmh kludge that was
masking away the address range by mapping a dumb area there.
On the port of OpenRISC I am working on and it appears the rv32 port
we have sets __TIMESIZE == 64 && __WORDSIZE == 32. This causes the
size of time_t to be 8 bytes, but the tv_sec in the kernel is still 32-bit
causing truncation.
The truncations are unavoidable on these systems so skip the
testing/failures by guarding with __KERNEL_OLD_TIMEVAL_MATCHES_TIMEVAL64.
Also, futher in the tests and in other parts of code checking for time_t
overflow does not work on 32-bit systems when time_t is 64-bit. As
suggested by Adhemerval, update the in_time_t_range function to assume
32-bits by using int32_t.
This also brings in the header for stdint.h so we can update other
usages of __int32_t to int32_t as suggested by Adhemerval.

misbelieved one "word" was 2-byte and "doubleword" should be 4-byte.
But in MIPS ABI one "word" is defined 32-bit (4-byte), so "doubleword" is
8-byte [1], and "quadword" is 16-byte [2].

Supplement, 3rd edition", page 3-31

The MIPS O32 ABI requires 4 byte aligned stack, and the MIPS N64 and N32
ABI require 8 byte aligned stack. Previously if the caller passed an
unaligned stack to clone the the child misbehaved.
