Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using mis-identified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
incorrectly when encountering `large' groups (many members and/or many
long member names). The reporter tracked this down to the glibc NSS
module compatibility code (nss_compat.c): it would prematurely record
that a NSS module was finished iterating through its database in some
cases.
Two aspects are corrected:
1. nss_compat.c recorded that a NSS module was finished iterating
whenever the module reported something other than SUCCESS. The
correct logic is to continue iteration when the module reports
either SUCCESS or RETURN. The __nss_compat_getgrent_r and
__nss_compat_getpwent_r routines are updated to reflect this.
2. An internal helper macro __nss_compat_result is used to map glibc
NSS status codes to BSD NSS status codes (e.g. NSS_STATUS_SUCCESS ->
NS_SUCCESS). It provided the obvious mapping.
When a NSS routine is called with a too-small buffer, the
convention in the BSD NSS code is to report RETURN. (This is used
to implement reentrant APIs such as getpwnam_r(3).) However, the
convention in glibc for this case is to set errno = ERANGE and
overload TRYAGAIN. __nss_compat_result is updated to handle this
case.

may be built into libc (`static NSS modules') or dynamically loaded
via dlopen (`dynamic NSS modules'). Modules are loaded/initialized
at configuration time (i.e. when nsdispatch is called and nsswitch.conf
is read or re-read).
= Make the nsdispatch(3) core thread-safe.
= New status code for nsdispatch(3) `NS_RETURN', currently used to
signal ERANGE-type issues.
= syslog(3) problems, don't warn/err/abort.
= Try harder to avoid namespace pollution.
= Implement some shims to assist in porting NSS modules written for
the GNU C Library nsswitch interface.
