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
Making the brk start exactly at the end of the main application binary was
requiring to get it through the _end symbol, which does not work any more
with recent toolchains, and actually produces in libc.so a confusing
external _end symbol that produces odd results, see
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23499
Trying to do so is quite outdated anyway with the tendency for address
randomization.
Using _end was also allowing to include the main binary data within
the RLIMIT_DATA, but this also seems outdated with dynamic library
loading, and nowadays' memory consumption via malloc and mmap rather than
statically-allocated data.
This adds a BRK_START macro in <vm_param.h> that just tells where we
want to start the brk, and thus removes the _end symbol.
* sysdeps/mach/hurd/i386/vm_param.h: New file.
* sysdeps/mach/hurd/brk.c: Use BRK_START as brk start instead of _end.
Also ignore __data_start.
* hurd/Versions: Remove _end symbol.
* sysdeps/mach/hurd/i386/libc.abilist: Remove _end symbol.
