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:

This patch continues the preparation for additional _FloatN / _FloatNx
function aliases by using libm_alias_ldouble for sysdeps/x86_64/fpu
long double functions, so that they can have _Float64x aliases added
in future.
Tested for x86_64, including build-many-glibcs.py tests that installed
stripped shared libraries are unchanged by the patch.

As discussed in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-05/msg00577.html>, TS
18661-1 disallows ceil, floor, round and trunc functions from raising
the "inexact" exception, in accordance with general IEEE 754 semantics
for when that exception is raised. Fixing this for x87 floating point
is more complicated than for the other versions of these functions,
because they use the frndint instruction that raises "inexact" and
this can only be avoided by saving and restoring the whole
floating-point environment.
As I noted in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-06/msg00128.html>, I have
now implemented a GCC option -fno-fp-int-builtin-inexact for GCC 7,
such that GCC will inline these functions on x86, without caring about
"inexact", when the default -ffp-int-builtin-inexact is in effect.
This allows users to get optimized code depending on the options they
pass to the compiler, while making the out-of-line functions follow TS
18661-1 semantics and avoid "inexact".
This patch duly fixes the out-of-line ceil function implementations to
avoid "inexact", in the same way as the nearbyint implementations.
I do not know how the performance of implementations such as these
based on saving the environment and changing the rounding mode
temporarily compares to that of the C versions or SSE 4.1 versions (of
course, for 32-bit x86 SSE implementations still need to get the
return value in an x87 register); it's entirely possible other
implementations could be faster in some cases.
Tested for x86_64 and x86.

"inexact" exceptions.
