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:

The symbols were moved using scripts/move-symbol-to-libc.py.
The way the ABI intransition is implemented is changed with this
commit: the implementation is now consolidated in one file with a
TIMER_T_WAS_INT_COMPAT check.
The shared librt is now empty, so this commit adds a placeholder
symbol at the base version, GLIBC_2.2, and potentially at the
GLIBC_2.3.3 version as well (the leftover from the int/timer_t ABI
transition).

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:

The struct allocated for !SIGEV_THREAD timers only requires two 'int'
fields (sigev_notify and ktimerid) and the offsetof trick tries minimize
the memory usage by only allocation the required size. However,
although the resulting size is suffice for !SIGEV_THREAD time, accessing
the partially allocated object is error-prone and UB.
This patch fixes both issues by embedding the information whether
the timer if a SIGEV_THREAD in the returned 'timer_t'. For
!SIGEV_THREAD, the resulting 'timer_t' is the returned kernel timer
identifer (kernel_timer_t), while for SIGEV_THREAD it uses the fact
malloc returns at least _Alignof (max_align_t) pointers plus that
valid kernel_timer_t are always positive to set MSB bit of the returned
'timer_t' to indicate the timer handles a SIGEV_THREAD.
It allows to remove the memory allocation for !SIGEV_THREAD and also
remove the 'sigev_notify' field from 'struct timer'.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-linux-gnu.
The functions __timer_gettime64 and __timer_settime64 live in librt, not
libc. Use proper hidden aliases so that the callers do not need to set up
the PLT register.
Fixes commits cae1635a70 ("y2038: linux: Provide __timer_settime64
implementation") and 562cdc19c7 ("y2038: linux: Provide __timer_gettime64
implementation").
This patch provides new __timer_settime64 explicit 64 bit function for setting
flags, interval and value of specified timer.
Moreover, a 32 bit version - __timer_settime has been refactored to internally
use __timer_settime64.
The __timer_settime is now supposed to be used on systems still supporting 32
bit time (__TIMESIZE != 64) - hence the necessary conversion to 64 bit struct
__timespec64 from struct timespec (and opposite when old_value pointer is
provided).
The new __timer_settime64 syscall available from Linux 5.1+ has been used, when
applicable.
The original INLINE_SYSCALL() macro has been replaced with
INLINE_SYSCALL_CALL() to avoid explicit passing the number of arguments.
Build tests:
- The code has been tested on x86_64/x86 (native compilation):
make PARALLELMFLAGS="-j8" && make check PARALLELMFLAGS="-j8" && \\
make xcheck PARALLELMFLAGS="-j8"
- The glibc has been build tested (make PARALLELMFLAGS="-j8") for
x86 (i386), x86_64-x32, and armv7
Run-time tests:
- Run specific tests on ARM/x86 32bit systems (qemu):
https://github.com/lmajewski/meta-y2038 and run tests:
https://github.com/lmajewski/y2038-tests/commits/master
- Use of cross-test-ssh.sh for ARM (armv7):
make PARALLELMFLAGS="-j8" test-wrapper='./cross-test-ssh.sh root@192.168.7.2' xcheck
Linux kernel, headers and minimal kernel version for glibc build test
matrix:
- Linux v5.1 (with timer_settime64) and glibc build with v5.1 as
minimal kernel version (--enable-kernel="5.1.0")
The __ASSUME_TIME64_SYSCALLS flag defined.
- Linux v5.1 and default minimal kernel version
The __ASSUME_TIME64_SYSCALLS not defined, but kernel supports timer_settime64
syscall.
- Linux v4.19 (no timer_settime64 support) with default minimal kernel version
for contemporary glibc (3.2.0)
This kernel doesn't support timer_settime64 syscall, so the fallback to
timer_settime is tested.
Above tests were performed with Y2038 redirection applied as well as without
(so the __TIMESIZE != 64 execution path is checked as well).
No regressions were observed.

The x86_64 specific timer_settime implementation (from
./linux/x86_64/timer_settime.c) reused the Linux generic one (from
./linux/timer_settime.c) to implement handling some compatible timers
(previously defined in librt, now in libc).
As the generic implementation now is going to also support new (available
from Linux 5.1+) timer_settime64 syscall, those two implementations have
been decoupled for easier conversion.
The original INLINE_SYSCALL() macro has been replaced with
INLINE_SYSCALL_CALL() to avoid explicit passing the number of arguments.
