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 7061 files FOO.
I then removed trailing white space from math/tgmath.h,
support/tst-support-open-dev-null-range.c, and
sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strlen-vec.S, to work around the following
obscure pre-commit check failure diagnostics from Savannah. I don't
know why I run into these diagnostics whereas others evidently do not.

DELOUSE was added to asm code to make them compatible with non-LP64
ABIs, but it is an unfortunate name and the code was not compatible
with ABIs where pointer and size_t are different. Glibc currently
only supports the LP64 ABI so these macros are not really needed or
tested, but for now the name is changed to be more meaningful instead
of removing them completely.
Some DELOUSE macros were dropped: clone, strlen and strnlen used it
unnecessarily.
The out of tree ILP32 patches are currently not maintained and will
likely need a rework to rebase them on top of the time64 changes.
Since aligned loads and stores are huge performance
advantage the implementation always tries to do aligned
access. Among the cases when src and dst addresses are
aligned or unaligned evenly there are cases of not evenly
unaligned src and dst. For such cases (if the length is
big enough) ext instruction is used to merge-and-shift
two memory chunks loaded from two adjacent aligned
locations and then the adjusted chunk gets stored to
aligned address.
Performance gain against the current T2 implementation:
memcpy-large: 65K-32M: +40% - +10%
memcpy-walk: 128-32M: +20% - +2%
