Add an option (--enable-experimental-jit for configure-based builds
or --experimental-jit for PCbuild-based ones) to build an
*experimental* just-in-time compiler, based on copy-and-patch (https://fredrikbk.com/publications/copy-and-patch.pdf).
See Tools/jit/README.md for more information on how to install the required build-time tooling.
* gh-112529: Implement GC for free-threaded builds
This implements a mark and sweep GC for the free-threaded builds of
CPython. The implementation relies on mimalloc to find GC tracked
objects (i.e., "containers").
* gh-112529: Use GC heaps for GC allocations in free-threaded builds
The free-threaded build's garbage collector implementation will need to
find GC objects by traversing mimalloc heaps. This hooks up the
allocation calls with the correct heaps by using a thread-local
"current_obj_heap" variable.
* Refactor out setting heap based on type
This splits part of Modules/gcmodule.c of into Python/gc.c, which
now contains the core garbage collection implementation. The Python
module remain in the Modules/gcmodule.c file.
This ensures the source directory is not modified at build time, and different builds (e.g. different versions or GIL vs no-GIL) do not have conflicts.
Every PyThreadState instance is now actually a _PyThreadStateImpl.
It is safe to cast from `PyThreadState*` to `_PyThreadStateImpl*` and back.
The _PyThreadStateImpl will contain fields that we do not want to expose
in the public C API.
Critical sections are helpers to replace the global interpreter lock
with finer grained locking. They provide similar guarantees to the GIL
and avoid the deadlock risk that plain locking involves. Critical
sections are implicitly ended whenever the GIL would be released. They
are resumed when the GIL would be acquired. Nested critical sections
behave as if the sections were interleaved.
- There is no longer a separate Python/executor.c file.
- Conventions in Python/bytecodes.c are slightly different -- don't use `goto error`,
you must use `GOTO_ERROR(error)` (same for others like `unused_local_error`).
- The `TIER_ONE` and `TIER_TWO` symbols are only valid in the generated (.c.h) files.
- In Lib/test/support/__init__.py, `Py_C_RECURSION_LIMIT` is imported from `_testcapi`.
- On Windows, in debug mode, stack allocation grows from 8MiB to 12MiB.
- **Beware!** This changes the env vars to enable uops and their debugging
to `PYTHON_UOPS` and `PYTHON_LLTRACE`.
This is partly to clear this stuff out of pystate.c, but also in preparation for moving some code out of _xxsubinterpretersmodule.c. This change also moves this stuff to the internal API (new: Include/internal/pycore_crossinterp.h). @vstinner did this previously and I undid it. Now I'm re-doing it. :/
* Add mimalloc v2.12
Modified src/alloc.c to remove include of alloc-override.c and not
compile new handler.
Did not include the following files:
- include/mimalloc-new-delete.h
- include/mimalloc-override.h
- src/alloc-override-osx.c
- src/alloc-override.c
- src/static.c
- src/region.c
mimalloc is thread safe and shares a single heap across all runtimes,
therefore finalization and getting global allocated blocks across all
runtimes is different.
* mimalloc: minimal changes for use in Python:
- remove debug spam for freeing large allocations
- use same bytes (0xDD) for freed allocations in CPython and mimalloc
This is important for the test_capi debug memory tests
* Don't export mimalloc symbol in libpython.
* Enable mimalloc as Python allocator option.
* Add mimalloc MIT license.
* Log mimalloc in Lib/test/pythoninfo.py.
* Document new mimalloc support.
* Use macro defs for exports as done in:

PyMutex is a one byte lock with fast, inlineable lock and unlock functions for the common uncontended case. The design is based on WebKit's WTF::Lock.
PyMutex is built using the _PyParkingLot APIs, which provides a cross-platform futex-like API (based on WebKit's WTF::ParkingLot). This internal API will be used for building other synchronization primitives used to implement PEP 703, such as one-time initialization and events.
This also includes tests and a mini benchmark in Tools/lockbench/lockbench.py to compare with the existing PyThread_type_lock.
Uncontended acquisition + release:
* Linux (x86-64): PyMutex: 11 ns, PyThread_type_lock: 44 ns
* macOS (arm64): PyMutex: 13 ns, PyThread_type_lock: 18 ns
* Windows (x86-64): PyMutex: 13 ns, PyThread_type_lock: 38 ns
PR Overview:
The primary purpose of this PR is to implement PyMutex, but there are a number of support pieces (described below).
* PyMutex: A 1-byte lock that doesn't require memory allocation to initialize and is generally faster than the existing PyThread_type_lock. The API is internal only for now.
* _PyParking_Lot: A futex-like API based on the API of the same name in WebKit. Used to implement PyMutex.
* _PyRawMutex: A word sized lock used to implement _PyParking_Lot.
* PyEvent: A one time event. This was used a bunch in the "nogil" fork and is useful for testing the PyMutex implementation, so I've included it as part of the PR.
* pycore_llist.h: Defines common operations on doubly-linked list. Not strictly necessary (could do the list operations manually), but they come up frequently in the "nogil" fork. ( Similar to https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?queue)

Statistics gathering is now off by default. Use the "-X pystats"
command line option or set the new PYTHONSTATS environment variable
to 1 to turn statistics gathering on at Python startup.
Statistics are no longer dumped at exit if statistics gathering was
off or statistics have been cleared.
Changes:
* Add PYTHONSTATS environment variable.
* sys._stats_dump() now returns False if statistics are not dumped
because they are all equal to zero.
* Add PyConfig._pystats member.
* Add tests on sys functions and on setting PyConfig._pystats to 1.
* Add Include/cpython/pystats.h and Include/internal/pycore_pystats.h
header files.
* Rename '_py_stats' variable to '_Py_stats'.
* Exclude Include/cpython/pystats.h from the Py_LIMITED_API.
* Move pystats.h include from object.h to Python.h.
* Add _Py_StatsOn() and _Py_StatsOff() functions. Remove
'_py_stats_struct' variable from the API: make it static in
specialize.c.
* Document API in Include/pystats.h and Include/cpython/pystats.h.
* Complete pystats documentation in Doc/using/configure.rst.
* Don't write "all zeros" stats: if _stats_off() and _stats_clear()
or _stats_dump() were called.
* _PyEval_Fini() now always call _Py_PrintSpecializationStats() which
does nothing if stats are all zeros.

This adds a new header that provides atomic operations on common data
types. The intention is that this will be exposed through Python.h,
although that is not the case yet. The only immediate use is in
the test file.

Remove these private functions from the public C API:
* _PyRun_AnyFileObject()
* _PyRun_InteractiveLoopObject()
* _PyRun_SimpleFileObject()
* _Py_SourceAsString()
Move them to the internal C API: add a new pycore_pythonrun.h header
file. No longer export these functions.
Remove the private _Py_Identifier type and related private functions
from the public C API:
* _PyObject_GetAttrId()
* _PyObject_LookupSpecialId()
* _PyObject_SetAttrId()
* _PyType_LookupId()
* _Py_IDENTIFIER()
* _Py_static_string()
* _Py_static_string_init()
Move them to the internal C API: add a new pycore_identifier.h header
file. No longer export these functions.
The _xxsubinterpreters module should not rely on internal API. Some of the functions it uses were recently moved there however. Here we move them back (and expose them properly).
Move the private _PyInterpreterID C API to the internal C API: add a
new pycore_interp_id.h header file.
Remove Include/interpreteridobject.h and
Include/cpython/interpreteridobject.h header files.
Remove the following functions from the C API, move them to the internal C
API: add a new pycore_modsupport.h internal header file:
* PyModule_CreateInitialized()
* _PyArg_NoKwnames()
* _Py_VaBuildStack()
No longer export these functions.
* Remove private _PyTraceMalloc C API functions: move them to the
internal C API.
* Don't export most of these functions anymore, but still export
_PyTraceMalloc_GetTraceback() used by tests.
* Rename Include/tracemalloc.h to Include/cpython/tracemalloc.h
Remove the "cpython/pytime.h" header file: it only contained private
functions. Move functions to the internal pycore_time.h header file.
Move tests from _testcapi to _testinternalcapi. Rename also test
methods to have the same name than tested C functions.
No longer export these functions:
* _PyTime_Add()
* _PyTime_As100Nanoseconds()
* _PyTime_FromMicrosecondsClamp()
* _PyTime_FromTimespec()
* _PyTime_FromTimeval()
* _PyTime_GetPerfCounterWithInfo()
* _PyTime_MulDiv()
Remove the following private functions of the C API:
* _PyCodecInfo_GetIncrementalDecoder()
* _PyCodecInfo_GetIncrementalEncoder()
* _PyCodec_DecodeText()
* _PyCodec_EncodeText()
* _PyCodec_Forget()
* _PyCodec_Lookup()
* _PyCodec_LookupTextEncoding()
Move these functions to a new pycore_codecs.h internal header file.
These functions are no longer exported.
The _xxsubinterpreters module was meant to only use public API. Some internal C-API usage snuck in over the last few years (e.g. gh-28969). This fixes that.
This implements PEP 695, Type Parameter Syntax. It adds support for:
- Generic functions (def func[T](): ...)
- Generic classes (class X[T](): ...)
- Type aliases (type X = ...)
- New scoping when the new syntax is used within a class body
- Compiler and interpreter changes to support the new syntax and scoping rules

Replaces our built-in SHA3 implementation with a verified one from the HACL* project.
This implementation is used when OpenSSL does not provide SHA3 or is not present.
3.11 shiped with a very slow tiny sha3 implementation to get off of the <=3.10 reference implementation that wound up having serious bugs. This brings us back to a reasonably performing built-in implementation consistent with what we've just replaced our other guaranteed available standard hash algorithms with: code from the HACL* project.
