x86-64: Add GLIBC_ABI_DT_X86_64_PLT [BZ #33212]
When the linker -z mark-plt option is used to add DT_X86_64_PLT,
DT_X86_64_PLTSZ and DT_X86_64_PLTENT, the r_addend field of the
R_X86_64_JUMP_SLOT relocation stores the offset of the indirect
branch instruction. However, glibc versions without the commit:
x86-64: Ignore r_addend for R_X86_64_GLOB_DAT/R_X86_64_JUMP_SLOT
According to x86-64 psABI, r_addend should be ignored for R_X86_64_GLOB_DAT
and R_X86_64_JUMP_SLOT. Since linkers always set their r_addends to 0, we
can ignore their r_addends.

The linker can add the glibc GLIBC_ABI_DT_X86_64_PLT version dependency

stdio-common: Fix macro parameter shadowing in scanf input specifier tests
The use of the same name for a local variable combined with passing a
pointer to it to a nested macro call causes the wrong 'err' variable to
be updated in 'read_real', because '&err' is only expanded at '*errp'
evaluation. Consequently the variable defined in 'read_real' is set
rather than one in its 'verify_input' caller as it would be the case
should 'read_real' be a function, leading to invalid input such as:
%a:nan:1:3:nan(:
to be accepted.
Address the issue by renaming the 'err' variable in 'verify_input' to
'errx', causing such input to be correctly rejected:
error: ./tst-scanf-format-skeleton.c:242: input line 1: input data format error
No test case added as it's a test case issue in the first place.
Verify that . input is rejected by 'f' conversion (and its uppercase
counterpart). Replace 0 input with .0 rather than adding new one,
because the integral part of 0 is already covered by 0.0 data, so
there's no need to keep this duplication.
Verify that . input is rejected by 'e' conversion (and its uppercase
counterpart). Replace 0e0 input with .0e0 rather than adding new one,
because 0 significand is already covered by 0e+0 data, so there's no
need to keep this duplication.
Verify that 0x. input is rejected by 'a' and 'g' conversions (and their
uppercase counterparts). Replace 0x0p0 input with 0x.0p0 rather than
adding new one, because 0x0 significand is already covered by 0x0p+0
data, so there's no need to keep this duplication.
stdio-common: Reject significands w/o digits in scanf [BZ #12701]
Reject invalid formatted scanf real input data the significand part of
which is comprised of a hexadecimal prefix followed by a decimal point
only, optionally preceded by a sign. Such data is a prefix of, but not
a matching input sequence and it is required by ISO C to cause a
matching failure.
Currently a matching success is instead incorrectly produced along with
the conversion result of zero, with data up to and including the decimal
point consumed from input.
Technically this change also causes lone . to be rejected early, though
it doesn't change semantics, because unlike 0x. it's not valid input to
'strtod', etc. so it gets rejected at actual conversion time later on
anyway.
stdio-common: Don't read real input beyond the field width in scanf
Fix a code pattern that repeats across '__vfscanf_internal' where the
remaining field width of 0 is incorrectly interpreted as no width limit,
which in turn results in reading input beyond the limit requested. The
lack of width limit is indicated by the field width of -1 rather than 0,
set earlier on in the function.
The problematic code pattern is used for both integer and floating-point
conversions, but in the former case a corresponding conditional earlier
on prevents the field width from being 0 when executing the pattern. It
does trigger in the latter case, where the decimal point is a multibyte
character or for multibyte digit characters.
Fix the code pattern by using 'width > 0' comparison, and apply the fix
throughout even to code handling integer conversions so as to interpret
the field width consistently and avoid people's confusion even if width
cannot be 0 at those places.
For multibyte digit characters there is an additional issue that causes
code to push back a partially fetched multibyte character multiple times
as execution proceeds through matching data retrieved against individual
digits that have to be rejected due to the field width limit preventing
the rest of the multibyte character from being retrieved. It is because
code relies on 'ungetc' ignoring a request to push back EOF, however in
the out-of-limit field width condition the data held is not EOF but the
previously retrieved character byte instead.
Fix this issue by artificially assigning EOF to the character byte
storage variable where the out-of-limit field width condition prevents
further processing, and also apply the fix throughout except for the
decimal point/thousands separator case, which uses different code.

iconv: Fix iconv functions not following symlinks [BZ #32339]

read_conf_file() function's directory traversal loop reject symbolic
links and then lstat64() call do not follow symlinks.
This commit fixes the directory traversal loop to accept symbolic links
and then follow the link using stat64().
The test works by creating a temporary directory and placing a symbolic
link inside it that points to a configuration file. It then runs
iconvconfig on this directory.
The test passes if iconvconfig successfully follows the symlink and
generates the cache correctly, confirming that the directory traversal
logic now properly handles symbolic links.
