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:

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

This patch fixes a soft-fp corner case I previously noted in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2013-10/msg00349.html>: when
trapping on underflow is enabled, extensions of subnormals from XFmode
to TFmode need to signal underflow because the result is tiny (but
exact, so the underflow flag is not raised unless trapping is
enabled).
To avoid any excess initialization or tests for other cases of
floating-point extensions, a new FP_INIT_TRAPPING_EXCEPTIONS is added
that does the initialization required for this particular case (more
than FP_INIT_EXCEPTIONS, less than FP_INIT_ROUNDMODE, in general), and
FP_NO_EXACT_UNDERFLOW is added to stub out FP_TRAPPING_EXCEPTIONS
tests for those cases of extensions where the test would be dead code,
to avoid any uninitialized variable warnings.
As the relevant case only applies in libgcc, not to any use of soft-fp
in glibc, there is no bug report in Bugzilla and no non-default
definitions of FP_INIT_TRAPPING_EXCEPTIONS are added by the patch. A
testcase will be added to GCC as part of an update of soft-fp in
libgcc once this patch is in libc.
Tested for powerpc-nofpu that the disassembly of installed shared
libraries is unchanged by this patch. Bootstrapped GCC with updated
soft-fp with no regressions on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu and verified
that a test of the relevant case passes where it failed before.
* soft-fp/op-common.h (FP_EXTEND): When a subnormal input produces
a subnormal result, set the underflow exception if trapping on
underflow is enabled.
* soft-fp/soft-fp.h (FP_INIT_TRAPPING_EXCEPTIONS): New macro.
(FP_INIT_EXCEPTIONS): Default to FP_INIT_TRAPPING_EXCEPTIONS.
[FP_NO_EXACT_UNDERFLOW] (FP_TRAPPING_EXCEPTIONS): Undefine and
redefine to 0.
* soft-fp/extenddftf2.c (FP_NO_EXACT_UNDERFLOW): Define.
* soft-fp/extendsfdf2.c (FP_NO_EXACT_UNDERFLOW): Likewise.
* soft-fp/extendsftf2.c (FP_NO_EXACT_UNDERFLOW): Likewise.
* soft-fp/extendxftf2.c (__extendxftf2): Use
FP_INIT_TRAPPING_EXCEPTIONS instead of FP_INIT_ROUNDMODE.
