* Update copyright dates with scripts/update-copyrightsPaul Eggert2021-01-021-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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
* elf: Implement a string table for ldconfig, with tail mergingFlorian Weimer2020-12-041-0/+33
This will be used in ldconfig to reduce the ld.so.cache size slightly. Tail merging is an optimization where a pointer points into another string if the first string is a suffix of the second string. The hash function FNV-1a was chosen because it is simple and achieves good dispersion even for short strings (so that the hash table bucket count can be a power of two). It is clearly superior to the hsearch hash and the ELF hash in this regard. The hash table uses chaining for collision resolution. Reviewed-by: Adhemerval Zanella <adhemerval.zanella@linaro.org>
