2b778ceb40 Update copyright dates with scripts/update-copyrights
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 6694 files FOO.
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

e627106266 POWER: Add context-synchronizing instructions to pkey_write [BZ #25954]
Sandipan Das reported that,

"The Power ISA mandates that all writes to the Authority
Mask Register (AMR) must always be preceded as well as
succeeded by a context-synchronizing instruction. This
applies to both the privileged and unprivileged variants
of the Move To AMR instruction.

This [requirement] is from Table 6 of Chapter 11 in page 1134 of Power
ISA 3.0B. The document can be found here:
<https://ibm.ent.box.com/s/1hzcwkwf8rbju5h9iyf44wm94amnlcrv>
"

See this kernel patch submission:

a803367bab powerpc64: Add memory protection key support [BZ #23202]
The 32-bit protection key behavior is somewhat unclear on 32-bit powerpc,
so this change is restricted to the 64-bit variants.

Flag translation is needed because of hardware differences between the
POWER implementation (read and write flags) and the Intel implementation
(write and read+write flags).
