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
These helper functions are used to optimize the 64-bit time_t support on
configurations that requires support for 32-bit time_t fallback
(!__ASSUME_TIME64_SYSCALLS). The idea is once the kernel advertises that
it does not have 64-bit time_t support, glibc will stop to try issue the
64-bit time_t syscall altogether.
For instance:
#ifndef __NR_symbol_time64
# define __NR_symbol_time64 __NR_symbol
#endif
int r;
if (supports_time64 ())
{
r = INLINE_SYSCALL_CALL (symbol, ...);
if (r == 0 || errno != ENOSYS)
return r;
mark_time64_unsupported ();
}
#ifndef __ASSUME_TIME64_SYSCALLS
<32-bit fallback syscall>
#endif
return r;
On configuration with default 64-bit time_t this optimization should be
optimized away by the compiler resulting in no overhead.
