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 ...

Implement memmove family IFUNC selectors in C.
All internal calls within libc.so can use IFUNC on x86-64 since unlike
x86, x86-64 supports PC-relative addressing to access the GOT entry so
that it can call via PLT without using an extra register. For libc.a,
we can't use IFUNC for functions which are called before IFUNC has been
initialized. Use IFUNC internally reduces the icache footprint since
libc.so and other codes in the process use the same implementations.
This patch uses IFUNC for memmove family functions within libc.

Since the new SSE2/AVX2 memcpy/memmove are faster than the previous ones,
we can remove the previous SSE2/AVX2 memcpy/memmove and replace them with
the new ones.
No change in IFUNC selection if SSE2 and AVX2 memcpy/memmove weren't used
before. If SSE2 or AVX2 memcpy/memmove were used, the new SSE2 or AVX2
memcpy/memmove optimized with Enhanced REP MOVSB will be used for
processors with ERMS. The new AVX512 memcpy/memmove will be used for
processors with AVX512 which prefer vzeroupper.
Since the new SSE2 memcpy/memmove are faster than the previous default
memcpy/memmove used in libc.a and ld.so, we also remove the previous
default memcpy/memmove and make them the default memcpy/memmove, except
that non-temporal store isn't used in ld.so.
Together, it reduces the size of libc.so by about 6 KB and the size of
ld.so by about 2 KB.

In this patch we take advantage of HSW memory bandwidth, manage to
reduce miss branch prediction by avoiding using branch instructions and
force destination to be aligned with avx instruction.
The CPU2006 403.gcc benchmark indicates this patch improves performance
from 2% to 10%.
This patch includes optimized 64bit memcpy/memmove for Atom, Core 2 and
Core i7. It improves memcpy by up to 3X on Atom, up to 4X on Core 2 and
up to 1X on Core i7. It also improves memmove by up to 3X on Atom, up to
4X on Core 2 and up to 2X on Core i7.
