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:

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
Various code in glibc uses __strnlen instead of strnlen for namespace
reasons. However, __strnlen does not use libc_hidden_proto /
libc_hidden_def (as is normally done for any function defined and
called within the same library, whether or not exported from the
library and whatever namespace it is in), so the compiler does not
know that those calls are to a function within libc.
This patch uses libc_hidden_proto / libc_hidden_def with __strnlen.
On x86_64, it makes no difference to the installed stripped shared
libraries. On 32-bit x86, it causes __strnlen calls to go to the same
place as strnlen calls (the fallback strnlen implementation), rather
than through a PLT entry for the strnlen IFUNC; I'm not sure of the
logic behind when calls from within libc should use IFUNCs versus when
they should go direct to a particular function implementation, but
clearly it doesn't make sense for strnlen and __strnlen to be handled
differently in this regard.
Tested for x86_64 and x86 (testsuite, and comparison of installed
shared libraries as described above).
