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.

explicit_bzero(s, n) is the same as memset(s, 0, n), except that the
compiler is not allowed to delete a call to explicit_bzero even if the
memory pointed to by 's' is dead after the call. Right now, this effect
is achieved externally by having explicit_bzero be a function whose
semantics are unknown to the compiler, and internally, with a no-op
asm statement that clobbers memory. This does mean that small
explicit_bzero operations cannot be expanded inline as small memset
operations can, but on the other hand, small memset operations do get
deleted by the compiler. Hopefully full compiler support for
explicit_bzero will happen relatively soon.
There are two new tests: test-explicit_bzero.c verifies the
visible semantics in the same way as the existing test-bzero.c,
and tst-xbzero-opt.c verifies the not-being-optimized-out property.
The latter is conceptually based on a test written by Matthew Dempsky
for the OpenBSD regression suite.
The crypt() implementation has an immediate use for this new feature.
We avoid having to add a GLIBC_PRIVATE alias for explicit_bzero
by running all of libcrypt's calls through the fortified variant,
__explicit_bzero_chk, which is in the impl namespace anyway. Currently
I'm not aware of anything in libc proper that needs this, but the
glue is all in place if it does become necessary. The legacy DES
implementation wasn't bothering to clear its buffers, so I added that,
mostly for consistency's sake.
