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
This patch moves the frame setup and teardown to immediately around
the single memset call, as has been done for power8. I've also
decreased FRAMESIZE to that needed to save the two callee-saved
registers used. Plus added cfi.
* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/power7/strncpy.S: Decrease FRAMESIZE.
Move LR save and frame setup/teardown and LR restore to
immediately around memset call. Provide cfi.

Makes __stpncpy_power8 call __memset_power8 directly rather than via an
IFUNC. Fixes a missing _mcount, and removes some redundant NOPS. The
*_is_local defines are also used in a followup patch.

This patch optimizes strncpy for power7 for unaligned source or
destination address. The source or destination address is aligned
to doubleword and data is shifted based on the alignment and
added with the previous loaded data to be written as a doubleword.
For each load, cmpb instruction is used for faster null check.
The new optimization shows 10 to 70% of performance improvement
for longer string though it does not show big difference on string
size less than 16 due to additional checks.Hence this new algorithm
is restricted to string greater than 16.
The optimization is achieved by following techniques:
> data alignment [gain from aligned memory access on read/write]
> POWER7 gains performance with loop unrolling/unwinding
[gain by reduction of branch penalty].
> zero padding done by calling optimized memset
