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:

The ldbl-96 implementation of scalblnl (used for x86_64 and ia64) uses
a condition k <= -63 to determine when a standard underflowing result
tiny*__copysignl(tiny,x) should be returned. However, that condition
corresponds to values with exponent -16446 or less, and in the case of
-16446, the correct result for round-to-nearest depends on whether the
value is exactly 0x1p-16446 (half the least subnormal) or more than
that. This patch fixes the bug by changing the condition to k <= -64
and accordingly adjusting the exponent by 64 not 63 when converting to
a normal value.
Tested for x86_64.
[BZ #17803]
* sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-96/s_scalblnl.c (twom63): Rename to
twom64. Adjust value to 0x1p-64L.
(__scalblnl): Only return standard underflowing result for K <=
-64 not K <= -63; adjust exponent for underflowing result by 64
not 63.
* math/libm-test.inc (scalbn_test_data): Add more tests.
(scalbln_test_data): Likewise.
The ldbl-96 implementation of scalblnl (used for x86_64 and ia64) is
incorrect for subnormal arguments (this is a separate bug from bug
17803, which is about underflowing results). There are two problems
with the adjustments of subnormal arguments: the "two63" variable
multiplied by is actually 0x1p52L not 0x1p63L, so is insufficient to
make values normal, and then GET_LDOUBLE_EXP(es,x), used to extract
the new exponent, extracts it into a variable that isn't used, while
the value taken to by the new exponent is wrongly taken from the high
part of the mantissa before the adjustment (hx). This patch fixes
both those problems and adds appropriate tests.
Tested for x86_64.
[BZ #17834]
* sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-96/s_scalblnl.c (two63): Change value to
0x1p63L.
(__scalblnl): Get new exponent of adjusted subnormal value from ES
not HX.
* math/libm-test.inc (scalbn_test_data): Add more tests.
(scalbln_test_data): Likewise.
Errno is not set and the testcases will fail.
Now the scalbln-aliases are removed in i386/m68
and the wrappers are used when calling the scalbln-functions.
On ia64 only scalblnf has its own implementation.
For scalbln and scalblnl the ieee754/dbl-64 and ieee754/ldbl-96 are used, thus
the wrappers are needed, too.
