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.

Support added to identify Sparc M7/T7/S7/M8/T8 processor capability.
Performance tests run on Sparc S7 using new code and old niagara4 code.
Optimizations for memset also apply to bzero as they share code.
For memset/bzero, performance comparison with niagara4 code:
For memset nonzero data,
256-1023 bytes - 60-90% gain (in cache); 5% gain (out of cache)
1K+ bytes - 80-260% gain (in cache); 40-80% gain (out of cache)
For memset zero data (and bzero),
256-1023 bytes - 80-120% gain (in cache), 0% gain (out of cache)
1024+ bytes - 2-4x gain (in cache), 10-35% gain (out of cache)
Tested in sparcv9-*-* and sparc64-*-* targets in both multi and
non-multi arch configurations.
