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.

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:

nss_db allows for getpwent et al to be called without a set*ent,
but it only works once. After the last get*ent a set*ent is
required to restart, because the end*ent did not properly reset
the module. Resetting it to NULL allows for a proper restart.
If the database doesn't exist, however, end*ent erroniously called
munmap which set errno.
The test case runs "makedb" inside the testroot, so needs selinux
DSOs installed.
When get*ent is called without a preceding set*ent, we need
to set the initial iteration position in get*ent.
Reproducer: Add “services: db files” to /etc/nsswitch.conf, then run
“perl -e getservent”. It will segfault before this change, and exit
silently after it.
Reproducer (needs to run as root):
perl -e \
'print "large❌999:" . join(",", map {"user$_"} (1 .. 135))."\n"' \
>> /etc/group
cd /var/db
make
getent -s db group
After the fix, the last command should list the "large" group.
The magic number 135 has been chosen so that the line is shorter than
1024 bytes, but the pointers required to encode the member array will
cross the threshold, triggering the bug.
In bug 14906 the user complains that the inotify support in nscd
is not sufficient when it comes to detecting changes in the
configurationfiles that should be watched for the various databases.
The current nscd implementation uses inotify to watch for changes in
the configuration files, but adds watches only for IN_DELETE_SELF and
IN_MODIFY. These watches are insufficient to cover even the most basic
uses by a system administrator. For example using emacs or vim to edit
a configuration file should trigger a reload but it might not if
the editors use move to atomically update the file. This atomic update
changes the inode and thus removes the notification on the file (as
inotify is based on inodes). Thus the inotify support in nscd for
configuration files is insufficient to account for the average use
cases of system administrators and users.
The inotify support is significantly enhanced and described here:
https://www.sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-02/msg00504.html
Tested on x86_64 with and without inotify support.
nss_db uses nss_files code for services, but a continue on protocol
mismatch that doesn't affect nss_files skipped the code that advanced
to the next db entry. Any one of these changes would suffice to fix
it, but fixing both makes them both safer to reuse elsewhere.
for ChangeLog
[BZ #14498]
* NEWS: Fixed.
* nss/nss_db/db-XXX.c (_nss_db_get##name##_r): Update hidx
after parsing line but before break_if_match.
* nss/nss_files/files-service (DB_LOOKUP): Don't "continue;"
if there is a protocol mismatch.
Compiling on Linux/i586 I get these warnings:
nss_db/db-initgroups.c:60:3: warning: implicit declaration of function
'strlen' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
nss_db/db-initgroups.c:74:7: warning: implicit declaration of function
'strncmp' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
Fixed with inclusion of <string.h>
nscd can clear caches when certain files change. The list of files
was hardcoded so far and worked for nss_files and nss_dns and those
modules which need no monitoring. nss_db, for instance, has its
own set of files to monitor. Now the NSS modules themselves can
request that certain files are monitored.
No longer is Berkeley db used. Instead a simple hash function is used.
The database files are not updated once they are created and therefore
no complicated database is needed.
2001-07-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
* manual/argp.texi: Remove ignored LGPL copyright notice; it's
not appropriate for documentation anyway.
* manual/libc-texinfo.sh: "Library General Public License" ->
"Lesser General Public License".
2001-07-06 Andreas Jaeger <aj@suse.de>

behaves accordingly. Make dynamically loading the database
