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
remote: error: hook declined to update refs/heads/master
The glibc.tune namespace is vaguely named since it is a 'tunable', so
give it a more specific name that describes what it refers to. Rename
the tunable namespace to 'cpu' to more accurately reflect what it
encompasses. Also rename glibc.tune.cpu to glibc.cpu.name since
glibc.cpu.cpu is weird.

On POWER8, unaligned memory accesses to cached memory has little impact
on performance as opposed to its ancestors.
It is disabled by default and will only be available when the tunable
glibc.tune.cached_memopt is set to 1.
