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.

This is another attempt at making pthread_once handle throwing exceptions
from the init routine callback. As the new testcases show, just switching
to the cleanup attribute based cleanup does fix the tst-once5 test, but
breaks the new tst-oncey3 test. That is because when throwing exceptions,
only the unwind info registered cleanups (i.e. C++ destructors or cleanup
attribute), when cancelling threads and there has been unwind info from the
cancellation point up to whatever needs cleanup both unwind info registered
cleanups and THREAD_SETMEM (self, cleanup, ...) registered cleanups are
invoked, but once we hit some frame with no unwind info, only the
THREAD_SETMEM (self, cleanup, ...) registered cleanups are invoked.
So, to stay fully backwards compatible (allow init routines without
unwind info which encounter cancellation points) and handle exception throwing
we actually need to register the pthread_once cleanups in both unwind info
and in the THREAD_SETMEM (self, cleanup, ...) way.
If an exception is thrown, only the former will happen and we in that case
need to also unregister the THREAD_SETMEM (self, cleanup, ...) registered
handler, because otherwise after catching the exception the user code could
call deeper into the stack some cancellation point, get cancelled and then
a stale cleanup handler would clobber stack and probably crash.
If a thread calling init routine is cancelled and unwind info ends before
the pthread_once frame, it will be cleaned up through self->cleanup as
before. And if unwind info is present, unwind_stop first calls the
self->cleanup registered handler for the frame, then it will call the
unwind info registered handler but that will already see __do_it == 0
and do nothing.

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: hook declined to update refs/heads/master
the initialization routine to exit by throwing an exception.
Such an execution, termed exceptional, requires call_once to
propagate the exception to its caller. A program may contain
any number of exceptional executions but only one returning
execution (which, if it exists, must be the last execution
with the same once flag).
On POSIX systems such as Linux, std::call_once is implemented
in terms of pthread_once. However, as discussed in libstdc++
bug 66146 - "call_once not C++11-compliant on ppc64le," GLIBC's
pthread_once hangs when the initialization function exits by
throwing an exception on at least arm and ppc64 (though
apparently not on x86_64). This effectively prevents call_once
from conforming to the C++ requirements since there doesn't
appear to be a thread-safe way to work around this problem in
libstdc++.
This patch changes pthread_once to handle gracefully init
functions that exit by throwing exceptions. It was successfully
tested on ppc64, ppc64le, and x86_64.
