H.J. Lu: Intel Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET) instructions:

aarch64: add HWCAP_ATOMICS to HWCAP_IMPORTANT
Szabolcs Nagy: This enables searching shared libraries in atomics/ when the hardware supports LSE atomics of armv8.1 so one can provide optimized variants of libraries in a portable way. LSE atomics does not affect library abi, the new instructions can interoperate with old ones. I considered the earlier comments on the patch

Add renameat2 function [BZ #17662]
Florian Weimer: The implementation falls back to renameat if renameat2 is not available in the kernel (or in the kernel headers) and the flags argument is zero.

testrun.sh: Implement --tool=strace, --tool=valgrind
Florian Weimer: $(file …) appears to be the only convenient way to create files with newlines and make substitution variables.

hy_AM: Add alternative month names (bug 23140).
Rafal Luzynski: This locale already contained correct data in mon array.

New configure option --disable-crypt
Zack Weinberg: Some Linux distributions are experimenting with a new, separately maintained and hopefully more agile implementation of the crypt API.

ast_ES: Add alternative month names (bug 23140).

glibc Release Tags

Update for 2.25 release
Siddhesh Poyarekar

Update version.h and include/features.h for 2.22 release
Carlos O'Donell

Restore _POSIX2_C_VERSION definition (bug 438).
Joseph Myers: My review of conformtest expectations for POSIX showed up that the _POSIX2_C_VERSION macro, required by POSIX and XPG standards before 2001, was missing in unistd.h, having been removed on 2003-04-03 despite those standards still being supported.

Bump required version of texinfo to 4.7
Will Newton: It seems we require texinfo 4.7 for the --plaintext option, so document that and check for the correct version in configure. ChangeLog: 2014-12-15 Will Newton - manual/install.texi: Bump required version of texinfo to 4.7 from 4.5. - INSTALL: Regenerated. - configure.ac: Check for makeinfo version 4.7 and above. - configure: Regenerated.

Rework compiler version check in configure
Roland McGrath

Update version.h and include/features.h for 2.19 release
Allan McRae

Accept make versions 4.0 and greater
Marc-Antoine Perennou

Update version.h and include/features.h for 2.18 release
David S. Miller

Make _LIB_VERSION a weak symbol
Siddhesh Poyarekar: That way it can live alongside _LIB_VERSION in libieee.a for statically compiled programs.

csb_PL: Add alternative month names (bug 23140).
Rafal Luzynski: Kashubian language is not supported by CLDR, data copied from Wikipedia and documents released by RJK (official Kashubian Language Council), also consulted with a native speaker. Note that this language also needs ab_alt_mon feature due to the month May: nominative "môj", genitive "maja"; abbreviated nominative "môj", abbreviated genitive "maj".
