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
On x32, the size_t parameter may be passed in the lower 32 bits of a
64-bit register with the non-zero upper 32 bits. The string/memory
functions written in assembly can only use the lower 32 bits of a
64-bit register as length or must clear the upper 32 bits before using
the full 64-bit register for length.
This pach fixes strncpy for x32. Tested on x86-64 and x32. On x86-64,
libc.so is the same with and withou the fix.
[BZ# 24097]
CVE-2019-6488
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strcpy-avx2.S: Use RDX_LP for length.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strcpy-sse2-unaligned.S: Likewise.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strcpy-ssse3.S: Likewise.
* sysdeps/x86_64/x32/Makefile (tests): Add tst-size_t-strncpy.
* sysdeps/x86_64/x32/tst-size_t-strncpy.c: New file.
Optimize x86-64 strcat/strncat, strcpy/strncpy and stpcpy/stpncpy with AVX2.
It uses vector comparison as much as possible. In general, the larger the
source string, the greater performance gain observed, reaching speedups of
1.6x compared to SSE2 unaligned routines. Select AVX2 strcat/strncat,
strcpy/strncpy and stpcpy/stpncpy on AVX2 machines where vzeroupper is
preferred and AVX unaligned load is fast.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/Makefile (sysdep_routines): Add
strcat-avx2, strncat-avx2, strcpy-avx2, strncpy-avx2,
stpcpy-avx2 and stpncpy-avx2.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/ifunc-impl-list.c:
(__libc_ifunc_impl_list): Add tests for __strcat_avx2,
__strncat_avx2, __strcpy_avx2, __strncpy_avx2, __stpcpy_avx2
and __stpncpy_avx2.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/{ifunc-unaligned-ssse3.h =>
ifunc-strcpy.h}: rename header for a more generic name.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/ifunc-strcpy.h:
(IFUNC_SELECTOR): Return OPTIMIZE (avx2) on AVX 2 machines if
AVX unaligned load is fast and vzeroupper is preferred.
