1. Add default ISA level selection in non-multiarch/rtld
implementations.
2. Add ISA level build guards to different implementations.
- I.e strcmp-avx2.S which is ISA level 3 will only build if
compiled ISA level <= 3. Otherwise there is no reason to
include it as we will always use one of the ISA level 4
implementations (strcmp-evex.S).
3. Refactor the ifunc selector and ifunc implementation list to use
the ISA level aware wrapper macros that allow functions below the
compiled ISA level (with a guranteed replacement) to be skipped.
Tested with and without multiarch on x86_64 for ISA levels:
{generic, x86-64-v2, x86-64-v3, x86-64-v4}
And m32 with and without multiarch.
This commit doesn't affect libc.so.6, its just housekeeping to prepare
for adding explicit ISA level support.
Tested build on x86_64 and x86_32 with/without multiarch.
The new code:
1. prioritizes smaller lengths more.
2. optimizes target placement more carefully.
3. reuses logic more.
4. fixes up various inefficiencies in the logic.
The total code size saving is: 394 bytes
Geometric Mean of all benchmarks New / Old: 0.874
Regressions:
1. The page cross case is now colder, especially re-entry from the
page cross case if a match is not found in the first VEC
(roughly 50%). My general opinion with this patch is this is
acceptable given the "coldness" of this case (less than 4%) and
generally performance improvement in the other far more common
cases.
2. There are some regressions 5-15% for medium/large user-arg
lengths that have a match in the first VEC. This is because the
logic was rewritten to optimize finds in the first VEC if the
user-arg length is shorter (where we see roughly 20-50%
performance improvements). It is not always the case this is a
regression. My intuition is some frontend quirk is partially
explaining the data although I haven't been able to find the
root cause.
Full xcheck passes on x86_64.

I then removed trailing white space from math/tgmath.h,

We stopped adding "Contributed by" or similar lines in sources in 2012
in favour of git logs and keeping the Contributors section of the
glibc manual up to date. Removing these lines makes the license
header a bit more consistent across files and also removes the
possibility of error in attribution when license blocks or files are
copied across since the contributed-by lines don't actually reflect
reality in those cases.
Move all "Contributed by" and similar lines (Written by, Test by,
etc.) into a new file CONTRIBUTED-BY to retain record of these
contributions. These contributors are also mentioned in
manual/contrib.texi, so we just maintain this additional record as a
courtesy to the earlier developers.
The following scripts were used to filter a list of files to edit in
place and to clean up the CONTRIBUTED-BY file respectively. These
were not added to the glibc sources because they're not expected to be
of any use in future given that this is a one time task:

On x32, the size_t parameter may be passed in the lower 32 bits of a
64-bit register with the non-zero upper 32 bits. The string/memory
functions written in assembly can only use the lower 32 bits of a
64-bit register as length or must clear the upper 32 bits before using
the full 64-bit register for length.
This pach fixes memrchr for x32. Tested on x86-64 and x32. On x86-64,
libc.so is the same with and withou the fix.

CVE-2019-6488
* sysdeps/x86_64/memrchr.S: Use RDX_LP for length.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memrchr-avx2.S: Likewise.
* sysdeps/x86_64/x32/Makefile (tests): Add tst-size_t-memrchr.
* sysdeps/x86_64/x32/tst-size_t-memrchr.c: New file.
By x86-64 specification, 32-bit destination registers are zero-extended
to 64 bits. There is no need to use 64-bit registers when only the lower
32 bits are non-zero. Also 2 instructions in:
mov %rdi, %rcx
and $15, %rcx
jz L(length_less16_offset0)
mov %rdi, %rcx <<< redundant
and $15, %rcx <<< redundant
are redundant.
* sysdeps/x86_64/memrchr.S (__memrchr): Use 32-bit registers for
the lower 32 bits. Remove redundant instructions.
On x86_64, memrchr (not a standard function) is defined as a strong
symbol, instead of a weak alias of __memrchr as on other
architectures. This results in linknamespace test failures from the
use of __memrchr from dirname. (Not a conformance issue because of
the mem* reservation, but contrary to glibc conventions.) This patch
makes x86_64 follow other architectures by defining memrchr as a weak
alias.
Tested for x86_64 (testsuite, and that disassembly of installed shared
libraries is unchanged by the patch).
[BZ #17719]
* sysdeps/x86_64/memrchr.S (memrchr): Rename to __memrchr and
