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:

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:

In the glibc the gettimeofday can use vDSO (on power and x86 the
USE_IFUNC_GETTIMEOFDAY is defined), gettimeofday syscall or 'default'
___gettimeofday() from ./time/gettime.c (as a fallback).
In this patch the last function (___gettimeofday) has been refactored and
moved to ./sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/gettimeofday.c to be Linux specific.
The new __gettimeofday64 explicit 64 bit function for getting 64 bit time from
the kernel (by internally calling __clock_gettime64) has been introduced.
Moreover, a 32 bit version - __gettimeofday has been refactored to internally
use __gettimeofday64.
The __gettimeofday is now supposed to be used on systems still supporting 32
bit time (__TIMESIZE != 64) - hence the necessary check for time_t potential
overflow and conversion of struct __timeval64 to 32 bit struct timespec.
The iFUNC vDSO direct call optimization has been removed from both i686 and
powerpc32 (USE_IFUNC_GETTIMEOFDAY is not defined for those architectures
anymore). The Linux kernel does not provide a y2038 safe implementation of
gettimeofday neither it plans to provide it in the future, clock_gettime64
should be used instead. Keeping support for this optimization would require
to handle another build permutation (!__ASSUME_TIME64_SYSCALLS &&
USE_IFUNC_GETTIMEOFDAY) which adds more complexity and has limited use
(since the idea is to eventually have a y2038 safe glibc build).
Build tests:
./src/scripts/build-many-glibcs.py glibcs
Run-time tests:
- Run specific tests on ARM/x86 32bit systems (qemu):
https://github.com/lmajewski/meta-y2038 and run tests:
https://github.com/lmajewski/y2038-tests/commits/master
Above tests were performed with Y2038 redirection applied as well as without
to test proper usage of both __gettimeofday64 and __gettimeofday.

[Including some commit message improvement]
The IFUNC bypass to vDSO is used when USE_IFUNC_GETTIMEOFDAY is set.
Currently aarch64, powerpc*, and x86 defines it. Otherwise the
generic implementation is used, which calls clock_gettime.

As indicated on libc-help [1] the ec138c67cb commit broke 32-bit
builds when configured with --enable-kernel=5.1 or higher. The
scenario 10 from [2] might also occur in this configuration and
INLINE_VSYSCALL will try to use the vDSO symbol and
HAVE_CLOCK_GETTIME64_VSYSCALL does not set HAVE_VSYSCALL prior its
usage.
Also, there is no easy way to just enable the code to use one
vDSO symbol since the macro INLINE_VSYSCALL is redefined if
HAVE_VSYSCALL is set.
Instead of adding more pre-processor handling and making the code
even more convoluted, this patch removes the requirement of defining
HAVE_VSYSCALL before including sysdep-vdso.h to enable vDSO usage.
The INLINE_VSYSCALL is now expected to be issued inside a
HAVE_*_VSYSCALL check, since it will try to use the internal vDSO
pointers.
Both clock_getres and clock_gettime vDSO code for time64_t were
removed since there is no vDSO setup code for the symbol (an
architecture can not set HAVE_CLOCK_GETTIME64_VSYSCALL).
Checked on i686-linux-gnu (default and with --enable-kernel=5.1),
x86_64-linux-gnu, aarch64-linux-gnu, and powerpc64le-linux-gnu.
I also checked against a build to mips64-linux-gnu and
sparc64-linux-gnu.

Consolidate generic gettimeofday implementation to use clock_gettime.
Linux ports that still provide gettimeofday through vDSO are not
changed.
Remove sysdeps/unix/clock_gettime.c, which implemented clock_gettime
using gettimeofday; new OS ports must provide a real implementation of
clock_gettime.
Rename sysdeps/mach/gettimeofday.c to sysdeps/mach/clock_gettime.c and
convert into an implementation of clock_gettime. It only supports
CLOCK_REALTIME; Mach does not appear to have any support for monotonic
clocks. It uses __host_get_time, which provides at best microsecond
resolution. Hurd is currently using sysdeps/posix/clock_getres.c for
clock_getres; its output for CLOCK_REALTIME is based on
sysconf (_SC_CLK_TCK), and I do not know whether that gives the
correct result.
Unlike settimeofday, there are no known uses of gettimeofday's
vestigial "get time zone" feature that are not bugs. (The per-process
timezone support in localtime and friends is unrelated, and the
programs that set the kernel's offset between the hardware clock and
UTC do not need to read it back.) Therefore, this feature is dummied
out. Henceforth, if gettimeofday's "struct timezone" argument is not
NULL, it will write zeroes to both fields. Any program that is
actually looking at this data will thus think it is running in UTC,
which is probably more correct than whatever it was doing before.
[__]gettimeofday no longer has any internal callers, so we can now
remove its internal prototype and PLT bypass aliases. The
__gettimeofday@GLIBC_2.0 export remains, in case it is used by any
third-party code.
It also allows to simplify the arch-specific implementation on x86 and
powerpc to remove the hack to disable the internal route to non iFUNC
variant for internal symbol.
This patch also fixes a missing optimization on aarch64, powerpc, and
x86 where the code used on static build do not use the vDSO.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu, powerpc64le-linux-gnu,
powerpc64-linux-gnu, powerpc-linux-gnu, and aarch64-linux-gnu.

This patch uses the libc_ifunc_hidden macro to create already existing ifunc functions
time and gettimeofday on intel. This way, the libc_hidden_def macro can be used
instead of the libc_ifunc_hidden_def one which was only used here. Thus the
macro is removed from libc-symbols.h.
On i386, the __GI_* symbols do not target the ifunc symbol and thus the
redirection construct has to be applied here.
ChangeLog:
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86/gettimeofday.c (__gettimeofday):
Use libc_ifunc_hidden macro. Use libc_hidden_def instead of
libc_ifunc_hidden_def.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86/time.c (time): Likewise.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/gettimeofday.c (__gettimeofday):
Redirect ifunced function in header for using it as type of ifunc'ed
function. Redefine libc_hidden_def to use fallback non ifunc'ed
function for __GI_* symbol.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/time.c (time): Likewise.
* include/libc-symbols.h
(libc_ifunc_hidden_def, libc_ifunc_hidden_def1): Delete macro.
This patch removes the vsyscall usage for x86_64 port. As indicated
by kernel code comments [1], vsyscalls are a legacy ABI and its concept
is problematic:
- It interferes with ASLR.
- It's awkward to write code that lives in kernel addresses but is
callable by userspace at fixed addresses.
- The whole concept is impossible for 32-bit compat userspace.
- UML cannot easily virtualize a vsyscall.
The VDSO is a better approach for such functionality. Tested on i686,
x86_64, and x32.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/gettimeofday.c
(__gettimeofday_syscall): Remove vsyscall fallback.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/time.c (__time_syscall): Likewise.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86/gettimeofday.c (__gettimeofday_syscall):
Add syscall fallback function.
(gettimeofday_ifunc): Use __gettimeofday_syscall as fallback mechanism
if vDSO is not present.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86/time.c (__time_syscall): Add syscall
fallback function.
(time_ifunc): Use __time_syscall as fallback mechanism if vDSO is not
present.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/gettimeofday.c: Remove file.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/time.c: Likewise.

Linux 3.15 adds support for clock_gettime, gettimeofday, and time vDSO
(commit id 37c975545ec63320789962bf307f000f08fabd48). This patch adds
GLIBC supports to use such symbol when they are avaiable.
Along with x86 vDSO support, this patch cleanup x86_64 code by moving
all common code to x86 common folder. Only init-first.c is different
between implementations.
