I then removed trailing white space from math/tgmath.h,

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.

The only difference between noncompliant and C99-compliant scanf is
that the former accepts the archaic GNU extension '%as' (also %aS and
%a[...]) meaning to allocate space for the input string with malloc.
This extension conflicts with C99's use of %a as a format _type_
meaning to read a floating-point number; POSIX.1-2008 standardized
equivalent functionality using the modifier letter 'm' instead (%ms,
%mS, %m[...]).
The extension was already disabled in most conformance modes:
specifically, any mode that doesn't involve _GNU_SOURCE and _does_
involve either strict conformance to C99 or loose conformance to both
C99 and POSIX.1-2001 would get the C99-compliant scanf. With
compilers new enough to use -std=gnu11 instead of -std=gnu89, or
equivalent, that includes the default mode.
With this patch, we now provide C99-compliant scanf in all
configurations except when _GNU_SOURCE is defined *and*
__STDC_VERSION__ or __cplusplus (whichever is relevant) indicates
C89/C++98. This leaves the old scanf available under e.g. -std=c89
-D_GNU_SOURCE, but removes it from e.g. -std=gnu11 -D_GNU_SOURCE (it
was already not present under -std=gnu11 without -D_GNU_SOURCE) and
from -std=gnu89 without -D_GNU_SOURCE.
There needs to be an internal override so we can compile the
noncompliant scanf itself. This is the same problem we had when we
removed 'gets' from _GNU_SOURCE and it's dealt with the same way:
there's a new __GLIBC_USE symbol, DEPRECATED_SCANF, which defaults to
off under the appropriate conditions for external code, but can be
overridden by individual files within stdio.
We also run into problems with PLT bypass for internal uses of sscanf,
because libc_hidden_proto uses __REDIRECT and so does the logic in
stdio.h for choosing which implementation of scanf to use; __REDIRECT
isn't transitive, so include/stdio.h needs to bridge the gap with a
macro. As far as I can tell, sscanf is the only function in this
family that's internally called by unrelated code.
Finally, there are several tests in stdio-common that use the
extension. bug21.c is a regression test for a crash; it still
exercises the relevant code when changed to use %ms instead of %as.
scanf14.c through scanf17.c are more complicated since they are
actually testing the subtleties of the extension - under what
circumstances is 'a' treated as a modifier letter, etc. I changed all
of them to use %ms instead of %as as well, but duplicated scanf14.c
and scanf16.c as scanf14a.c and scanf16a.c. These still use %as and
are compiled with -std=gnu89 to access the old extension. A bunch of
diagnostic overrides and manual workarounds for the old stdio.h
behavior become unnecessary. Yay!

Every so often someone gets confused by the fact that the installed
<bits/stdio-lock.h> header includes the non-installed <lowlevellock.h>
header.
This inclusion is not in fact a bug, because <bits/stdio-lock.h> only
gets included by any header that users should include directly if
_IO_MTSAFE_IO is defined, and that's an internal define used when
building libio, not a feature test macro it's valid for users to
define. However, on general principles it's best to have as little as
possible in the installed headers that is inapplicable for valid uses
of the installed glibc.
This patch moves the include of <bits/stdio-lock.h> to the internal
header include/libio.h, so that even if someone defines _IO_MTSAFE_IO
it won't get included. This is intended as preparation for stopping
<bits/stdio-lock.h> and <bits/libc-lock.h> from being installed at all
(after this patch they aren't used in any installed header; formally
of course they don't need to be installed even before this patch, but
stopping them being installed before removing the #include would just
exacerbate the confusion described above), and then moving those out
of the bits/ namespace in accordance with the principle that that
namespace is only for installed headers.
The tests scanf15.c and scanf17.c avoid the internal headers; after
this patch that means they need to undefine _IO_MTSAFE_IO as well as
_LIBC so as to get a working _IO_lock_t definition for libio.h. This
brings them closer to using the headers as an installed program would,
which clearly accords with the intent of those tests.
Tested for x86_64 (testsuite, and that installed stripped shared
libraries are unchanged by the patch).
* libio/libio.h [_IO_MTSAFE_IO]: Remove include of
<bits/stdio-lock.h> and commented-out include of <comthread.h>.
* include/libio.h [!_ISOMAC && _IO_MTSAFE_IO]: Include
<bits/stdio-lock.h>.
* stdio-common/scanf15.c (_IO_MTSAFE_IO): Undefine.
* stdio-common/scanf17.c (_IO_MTSAFE_IO): Likewise.
SSE registers are used for passing parameters and must be preserved
in runtime relocations. This is inside ld.so enforced through the
tests in tst-xmmymm.sh. But the malloc routines used after startup
come from libc.so and can be arbitrarily complex. It's overkill
to save the SSE registers all the time because of that. These calls
are rare. Instead we save them on demand. The new infrastructure
put in place in this patch makes this possible and efficient.
