Fix some test_multiprocessing flakiness.
Potentially introduced by https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/25845
not joining that thread likely leads to recently observed "environment
changed" logically passing but overall failing tests seen on some
buildbots similar to:
```
1 test altered the execution environment (env changed):
test.test_multiprocessing_fork.test_processes
2 re-run tests:
test.test_multiprocessing_fork.test_processes
test.test_multiprocessing_forkserver.test_processes
```
Previously, the `locked` field was set after releasing the lock. This reverses
the order so that the `locked` field is set while the lock is still held.
There is still one thread-safety issue where `locked` is checked prior to
releasing the lock, however, in practice that will only be an issue when
unlocking the lock is contended, which should be rare.
Revert "gh-115398: Increment PyExpat_CAPI_MAGIC for SetReparseDeferralEnabled addition (GH-116301)"
This reverts part of commit eda2963378. Why? this comment buried in an earlier code review explains:
I checked again how that value is used in practice, it's here:
0c80da4c14/Modules/_elementtree.c (L4363-L4372)
Based on that code my understanding is that loading bigger structs from the future is considered okay unless `PyExpat_CAPI_MAGIC` differs, which implies that (1) magic needs to stay the same to support loading the future from the past and (2) that `PyExpat_CAPI_MAGIC` should only ever change for changes that do not increase size (but keep it constant).
To summarize, that supports your argument.
I checked branches 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12 now and they all have the same comparison code there so reverting that magic string bump will support seamless backporting.
This implements the delayed reuse of mimalloc pages that contain Python
objects in the free-threaded build.
Allocations of the same size class are grouped in data structures called
pages. These are different from operating system pages. For thread-safety, we
want to ensure that memory used to store PyObjects remains valid as long as
there may be concurrent lock-free readers; we want to delay using it for
other size classes, in other heaps, or returning it to the operating system.
When a mimalloc page becomes empty, instead of immediately freeing it, we tag
it with a QSBR goal and insert it into a per-thread state linked list of
pages to be freed. When mimalloc needs a fresh page, we process the queue and
free any still empty pages that are now deemed safe to be freed. Pages
waiting to be freed are still available for allocations of the same size
class and allocating from a page prevent it from being freed. There is
additional logic to handle abandoned pages when threads exit.
This sets `MI_DEBUG` to `2` in debug builds to enable `mi_assert_internal()`
calls. Expensive internal assertions are not enabled.
This also disables an assertion in free-threaded builds that would be
triggered by the free-threaded GC because we traverse heaps that are not
owned by the current thread.
The problem manifested when the .py module got reloaded and the corresponding extension module didn't. The .py module registers types with the extension and the extension was not allowing that to happen more than once. The solution: let it happen more than once.
A previous commit introduced a bug to `interpreter_clear()`: it set
`interp->ceval.instrumentation_version` to 0, without making the corresponding
change to `tstate->eval_breaker` (which holds a thread-local copy of the
version). After this happens, Python code can still run due to object finalizers
during a GC, and the version check in bytecodes.c will see a different result
than the one in instrumentation.c causing an infinite loop.
The fix itself is straightforward: clear `tstate->eval_breaker` when clearing
`interp->ceval.instrumentation_version`.
* Move param guard to param state machine
* Override return converter during parsing
* Don't use a custom type slot return converter; instead
special case type slot functions during generation.
