Notes about the implementation:
- The GIL is just a boolean variable (locked) whose access is protected
by a mutex (gil_mutex), and whose changes are signalled by a condition
variable (gil_cond). gil_mutex is taken for short periods of time,
and therefore mostly uncontended.
- In the GIL-holding thread, the main loop (PyEval_EvalFrameEx) must be
able to release the GIL on demand by another thread. A volatile boolean
variable (gil_drop_request) is used for that purpose, which is checked
at every turn of the eval loop. That variable is set after a wait of
`interval` microseconds on `gil_cond` has timed out.
[Actually, another volatile boolean variable (eval_breaker) is used
which ORs several conditions into one. Volatile booleans are
sufficient as inter-thread signalling means since Python is run
on cache-coherent architectures only.]
- A thread wanting to take the GIL will first let pass a given amount of
time (`interval` microseconds) before setting gil_drop_request. This
encourages a defined switching period, but doesn't enforce it since
opcodes can take an arbitrary time to execute.
The `interval` value is available for the user to read and modify
using the Python API `sys.{get,set}switchinterval()`.
- When a thread releases the GIL and gil_drop_request is set, that thread
ensures that another GIL-awaiting thread gets scheduled.
It does so by waiting on a condition variable (switch_cond) until
the value of last_holder is changed to something else than its
own thread state pointer, indicating that another thread was able to
take the GIL.
This is meant to prohibit the latency-adverse behaviour on multi-core
machines where one thread would speculatively release the GIL, but still
run and end up being the first to re-acquire it, making the "timeslices"
much longer than expected.
(Note: this mechanism is enabled with FORCE_SWITCHING above)

/* Do periodic things, like check for signals and async I/0.
* We need to do reasonably frequently, but not too frequently.
* All loops should include a check of the eval breaker.
* We also check on return from any builtin function.
*
* ## More Details ###
*
* The eval loop (this function) normally executes the instructions
* of a code object sequentially. However, the runtime supports a
* number of out-of-band execution scenarios that may pause that
* sequential execution long enough to do that out-of-band work
* in the current thread using the current PyThreadState.
*
* The scenarios include:
*
* - cyclic garbage collection
* - GIL drop requests
* - "async" exceptions
* - "pending calls" (some only in the main thread)
* - signal handling (only in the main thread)
*
* When the need for one of the above is detected, the eval loop
* pauses long enough to handle the detected case. Then, if doing
* so didn't trigger an exception, the eval loop resumes executing
* the sequential instructions.
*
* To make this work, the eval loop periodically checks if any
* of the above needs to happen. The individual checks can be
* expensive if computed each time, so a while back we switched
* to using pre-computed, per-interpreter variables for the checks,
* and later consolidated that to a single "eval breaker" variable
* (now a PyInterpreterState field).
*
* For the longest time, the eval breaker check would happen
* frequently, every 5 or so times through the loop, regardless
* of what instruction ran last or what would run next. Then, in
* early 2021 (gh-18334, commit 4958f5d), we switched to checking
* the eval breaker less frequently, by hard-coding the check to
* specific places in the eval loop (e.g. certain instructions).
* The intent then was to check after returning from calls
* and on the back edges of loops.
*
* In addition to being more efficient, that approach keeps
* the eval loop from running arbitrary code between instructions
* that don't handle that well. (See gh-74174.)
*
* Currently, the eval breaker check happens on back edges in
* the control flow graph, which pretty much applies to all loops,
* and most calls.
* (See bytecodes.c for exact information.)
*
* One consequence of this approach is that it might not be obvious
* how to force any specific thread to pick up the eval breaker,
* or for any specific thread to not pick it up. Mostly this
* involves judicious uses of locks and careful ordering of code,
* while avoiding code that might trigger the eval breaker
* until so desired.
