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.

Recent GCC versions warn about the attempt to return the address of a
local variable:
tst-pthread-getattr.c: In function ‘allocate_and_test’:
tst-pthread-getattr.c:54:10: error: function returns address of local variable [-Werror=return-local-addr]
54 | return mem;
| ^~~
In file included from ../include/alloca.h:3,
from tst-pthread-getattr.c:26:
../stdlib/alloca.h:35:23: note: declared here
35 | # define alloca(size) __builtin_alloca (size)
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
tst-pthread-getattr.c:51:9: note: in expansion of macro ‘alloca’
51 | mem = alloca ((size_t) (mem - target));
| ^~~~~~
The address itself is used in a check in the caller, so using
uintptr_t instead is reasonable.

In some cases, the compiler would optimize out the call to
allocate_and_test and thus result in a false positive for the test
case. Another problem was the fact that the compiler could in some
cases generate additional shifting of the stack pointer, resulting in
alloca moving the stack pointer beyond what is allowed by the
rlimit. Hence, accessing the stackaddr returned by pthread_getattr_np
is safer than relying on the alloca'd result.
Another problem is when RLIMIT may be very large, which may result in
violation of other resource limits. Hence we cap the max stack size to
8M for this test.
When rlimit is small enough to be used as the stacksize to be returned
in pthread_getattr_np, cases where a stack is made executable due to a
DSO load get stack size that is larger than what the kernel
allows. This is because in such a case the stack size does not account
for the pages that have auxv and program arguments.
Additionally, the stacksize for the process derived from this should
be truncated to align to page size to avoid going beyond rlimit.
