They are both used by __libc_freeres to free all library malloc
allocated resources to help tooling like mtrace or valgrind with
memory leak tracking.
The current scheme uses assembly markers and linker script entries
to consolidate the free routine function pointers in the RELRO segment
and to be freed buffers in BSS.
This patch changes it to use specific free functions for
libc_freeres_ptrs buffers and call the function pointer array directly
with call_function_static_weak.
It allows the removal of both the internal macros and the linker
script sections.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu, and aarch64-linux-gnu.

In multi-threaded programs, registering via pthread_atfork,
de-registering implicitly via dlclose, or running pthread_atfork
handlers during fork was protected by an internal lock. This meant
that a pthread_atfork handler attempting to register another handler or
dlclose a dynamically loaded library would lead to a deadlock.
This commit fixes the deadlock in the following way:
During the execution of handlers at fork time, the atfork lock is
released prior to the execution of each handler and taken again upon its
return. Any handler registrations or de-registrations that occurred
during the execution of the handler are accounted for before proceeding
with further handler execution.
If a handler that hasn't been executed yet gets de-registered by another
handler during fork, it will not be executed. If a handler gets
registered by another handler during fork, it will not be executed
during that particular fork.
The possibility that handlers may now be registered or deregistered
during handler execution means that identifying the next handler to be
run after a given handler may register/de-register others requires some
bookkeeping. The fork_handler struct has an additional field, 'id',
which is assigned sequentially during registration. Thus, handlers are
executed in ascending order of 'id' during 'prepare', and descending
order of 'id' during parent/child handler execution after the fork.
Two tests are included:
* tst-atfork3: Adhemerval Zanella <adhemerval.zanella@linaro.org>
This test exercises calling dlclose from prepare, parent, and child
handlers.
* tst-atfork4: This test exercises calling pthread_atfork and dlclose
from the prepare handler.

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: *** 914-
remote: *** error: lines with trailing whitespace found

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:

Both htl and nptl uses a different data structure to implement atfork
handlers. The nptl one was refactored by 27761a1042d to use a dynarray
which simplifies the code.
This patch moves the nptl one to be the generic implementation and
replace Hurd linked one. Different than previous NPTL, Hurd also uses
a global lock, so performance should be similar.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu, and with a build for
i686-gnu.
