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.
remote: *** 912-#endif
remote: *** 913:

remote: *** error: sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/statx_cp.c: trailing lines
This commit adds more benchmarks for the common memcpy/memmove
benchmarks. The most signifcant cases are the half page offsets. The
current versions leaves dst and src near page aligned which leads to
false 4k aliasing on x86_64. This can add noise due to false
dependencies from one run to the next. As well, this seems like more
of an edge case that common case so it shouldn't be the only thing

Use the generic C memset/memcpy/memmove in benchtests since comparing
against a slow byte-oriented implementation makes no sense.

Switch the string benchmarks to using bench-timing.h instead
of hp-timing.h directly. This allows the string benchmarks to
be run usefully on architectures such as ARM that do not have
support for hp-timing.h.
In order to do this the tests have been changed from timing each
individual call and picking the lowest execution time recorded to
timing a number of calls and taking the mean execution time.
