I used these shell commands:
../glibc/scripts/update-copyrights $PWD/../gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright
(cd ../glibc && git commit -am"[this commit message]")
and then ignored the output, which consisted lines saying "FOO: warning:
copyright statement not found" for each of 7061 files FOO.
I then removed trailing white space from math/tgmath.h,
support/tst-support-open-dev-null-range.c, and
sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strlen-vec.S, to work around the following
obscure pre-commit check failure diagnostics from Savannah. I don't
know why I run into these diagnostics whereas others evidently do not.

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:

__nss_database_lookup2's extra arguments were left unused in the
nsswitch reloading patch set; this broke compat (default config
ignored) and shadow files (secondary name ignored) which relies on
these fallbacks.
This patch adds in the previous behavior by correcting the
initialization of the database list to reflect the fallbacks. This
means that the nss_database_lookup2 interface no longer needs to be
passed the fallback info, so API and callers were adjusted.
Since all callers needed to be edited anyway, the calls were changed
from __nss_database_lookup2 to the faster __nss_database_get. This
was an intended optimization which was deferred during the initial
lookup changes to avoid touching so many files.
The test case verifies that compat targets work (passwd) and that the
default configuration works (group). Tested on x86-64.

I then removed trailing white space from benchtests/bench-pthread-locks.c
and iconvdata/tst-iconv-big5-hkscs-to-2ucs4.c, to work around this
diagnostic from Savannah:
remote: *** pre-commit check failed ...
remote: *** error: lines with trailing whitespace found
remote: error: hook declined to update refs/heads/master
This avoids crashes in case the files are truncated for some reason.
For typically file sizes, it is also going to be slightly faster.
Using __nss_files_fopen instead mirrors what nss_files does.

During cleanup, before returning from get*_r functions, the end*ent
calls must not change errno. Otherwise, an ERANGE error from the
underlying implementation can be hidden, causing unexpected lookup
failures. This commit introduces an internal_end*ent_noerror
function which saves and restore errno, and marks the original
internal_end*ent function as warn_unused_result, so that it is used
only in contexts were errors from it can be handled explicitly.

The function uses the internal service_user type, so it is not
really usable from the outside of glibc. Rename the function
to __nss_database_lookup2 for internal use, and change
__nss_database_lookup to always indicate failure to the caller.
__nss_next already was a compatibility symbol. The new
implementation always fails and no longer calls __nss_next2.
unscd, the alternative nscd implementation, does not use
__nss_database_lookup, so it is not affected by this change.
If the caller-supplied buffer is not large enough, fall back directly
malloc.
The previous __libc_use_alloca check was incorrect because it did not
take into account that extend_alloca may fail to merge allocations, so
it would underestimate the stack space being used by roughly a factor
of two.
