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.

No bug.
This commit adds a new implementation for EVEX memchr that is not safe
for RTM because it uses vzeroupper. The benefit is that by using
ymm0-ymm15 it can use vpcmpeq and vpternlogd in the 4x loop which is
faster than the RTM safe version which cannot use vpcmpeq because
there is no EVEX encoding for the instruction. All parts of the
implementation aside from the 4x loop are the same for the two
versions and the optimization is only relevant for large sizes.

GCC 9 has gained an enhancement to help detect attribute mismatches
between alias declarations and their targets. It consists of a new
warning, -Wattribute-alias, an enhancement to an existing warning,
-Wmissing-attributes, and a new attribute called copy.
The purpose of the warnings is to help identify either possible bugs
(an alias declared with more restrictive attributes than its target
promises) or optimization or diagnostic opportunities (an alias target
missing some attributes that it could be declared with that might
benefit analysis and code generation). The purpose of the new
attribute is to easily apply (almost) the same set of attributes
to one declaration as those already present on another.
As expected (and intended) the enhancement triggers warnings for
many alias declarations in Glibc code. This change, tested on
x86_64-linux, avoids all instances of the new warnings by making
use of the attribute where appropriate. To fully benefit from
the enhancement Glibc will need to be compiled with
-Wattribute-alias=2 and remaining warnings reviewed and dealt with
(there are a couple of thousand but most should be straightforward
to deal with).
ChangeLog:
* include/libc-symbols.h (__attribute_copy__): Define macro unless
it's already defined.
(_strong_alias): Use __attribute_copy__.
(_weak_alias, __hidden_ver1, __hidden_nolink2): Same.
* misc/sys/cdefs.h (__attribute_copy__): New macro.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memchr.c (memchr): Use __attribute_copy__.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memcmp.c (memcmp): Same.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/mempcpy.c (mempcpy): Same.

SSE2 memchr is extended to support wmemchr. AVX2 memchr/rawmemchr/wmemchr
are added to search 32 bytes with a single vector compare instruction.
AVX2 memchr/rawmemchr/wmemchr are as fast as SSE2 memchr/rawmemchr/wmemchr
for small sizes and up to 1.5X faster for larger sizes on Haswell and
Skylake. Select AVX2 memchr/rawmemchr/wmemchr on AVX2 machines where
vzeroupper is preferred and AVX unaligned load is fast.
NB: It uses TZCNT instead of BSF since TZCNT produces the same result
as BSF for non-zero input. TZCNT is faster than BSF and is executed
as BSF if machine doesn't support TZCNT.
* sysdeps/x86_64/memchr.S (MEMCHR): New. Depending on if
USE_AS_WMEMCHR is defined.
(PCMPEQ): Likewise.
(memchr): Renamed to ...
(MEMCHR): This. Support wmemchr if USE_AS_WMEMCHR is defined.
Replace pcmpeqb with PCMPEQ.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/Makefile (sysdep_routines): Add
memchr-sse2, rawmemchr-sse2, memchr-avx2, rawmemchr-avx2,
wmemchr-sse4_1, wmemchr-avx2 and wmemchr-c.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/ifunc-avx2.h: New file.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memchr-avx2.S: Likewise.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memchr-sse2.S: Likewise.

* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/wmemchr.c: Likewise.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/ifunc-impl-list.c
(__libc_ifunc_impl_list): Test __memchr_avx2, __memchr_sse2,
__rawmemchr_avx2, __rawmemchr_sse2, __wmemchr_avx2 and
__wmemchr_sse2.
