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
Since 9182aa6799 (Fix vDSO l_name for GDB's, BZ#387) the initial link_map
for executable itself and loader will have both l_name and l_libname->name
holding the same value due:
elf/dl-object.c
95 new->l_name = *realname ? realname : (char *) newname->name + libname_len - 1;
Since newname->name points to new->l_libname->name.
This leads to pldd to an infinite call at:
elf/pldd-xx.c
203 again:
204 while (1)
205 {
206 ssize_t n = pread64 (memfd, tmpbuf.data, tmpbuf.length, name_offset);
228 /* Try the l_libname element. */
229 struct E(libname_list) ln;
230 if (pread64 (memfd, &ln, sizeof (ln), m.l_libname) == sizeof (ln))
231 {
232 name_offset = ln.name;
233 goto again;
234 }
Since the value at ln.name (l_libname->name) will be the same as previously
read. The straightforward fix is just avoid the check and read the new list
entry.
I checked also against binaries issues with old loaders with fix for BZ#387,
and pldd could dump the shared objects.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu, aarch64-linux-gnu, and
powerpc64le-linux-gnu.
[BZ #18035]
* elf/Makefile (tests-container): Add tst-pldd.
* elf/pldd-xx.c: Use _Static_assert in of pldd_assert.
(E(find_maps)): Avoid use alloca, use default read file operations
instead of explicit LFS names, and fix infinite loop.
* elf/pldd.c: Explicit set _FILE_OFFSET_BITS, cleanup headers.
(get_process_info): Use _Static_assert instead of assert, use default
directory operations instead of explicit LFS names, and free some
leadek pointers.
* elf/tst-pldd.c: New file.
