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:

As a result, is not necessary to specify __attribute__ ((nocommon))
on individual definitions.
GCC 10 defaults to -fno-common on all architectures except ARC,
but this change is compatible with older GCC versions and ARC, too.

librt.so is no longer installed for PTHREAD_IN_LIBC, and tests
are not linked against it. $(librt) is introduced globally for
shared tests that need to be linked for both PTHREAD_IN_LIBC
and !PTHREAD_IN_LIBC.
GLIBC_PRIVATE symbols that were needed during the transition are
removed again.

This adds several temporary GLIBC_PRIVATE exports. The symbol names
are changed so that they all start with __timer_.
It is now possible to invoke the fork handler directly, so
pthread_atfork is no longer necessary. The associated error cannot
happen anymore, and cancellation handling can be removed from
the helper thread routine.

This mirrors the situation on Hurd. These directories are on
the include search part, so #include <pthreadP.h> works after this
change on both Hurd and nptl.

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 ...

timer_create needs to create threads with all signals blocked,
including SIGTIMER (which happens to equal SIGCANCEL).
Fixes commit b3cae39dcb ("nptl: Start
new threads with all signals blocked [BZ #25098]").
Reviewed-by: Carlos O'Donell <carlos@redhat.com>
The behavior of the signal mask on threads created by timer_create
for SIGEV_THREAD timers are implementation-defined and glibc explicit
unblocks all signals before calling the user-defined function.
This behavior, although not incorrect standard-wise, opens a race if a
program using a blocked rt-signal plus sigwaitinfo (and without an
installed signal handler for the rt-signal) receives a signal while
executing the used-defined function for SIGEV_THREAD.
A better alternative discussed in bug report is to rather block all
signals (besides the internal ones not available to application
usage).
This patch fixes this issue by only unblocking SIGSETXID (used on
set*uid function) and SIGCANCEL (used for thread cancellation).
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-linux-gnu.
With all Linux ABIs using the expected Linux kABI to indicate
syscalls errors, the INTERNAL_SYSCALL_DECL is an empty declaration
on all ports.
This patch removes the 'err' argument on INTERNAL_SYSCALL* macro
and remove the INTERNAL_SYSCALL_DECL usage.
Checked with a build against all affected ABIs.
