- The specialization logic determines the appropriate specialization using only the operand's type, which is safe to read non-atomically (changing it requires stopping the world). We are guaranteed that the type will not change in between when it is checked and when we specialize the bytecode because the types involved are immutable (you cannot assign to `__class__` for exact instances of `dict`, `set`, or `frozenset`). The bytecode is mutated atomically using helpers.
- The specialized instructions rely on the operand type not changing in between the `DEOPT_IF` checks and the calls to the appropriate type-specific helpers (e.g. `_PySet_Contains`). This is a correctness requirement in the default builds and there are no changes to the opcodes in the free-threaded builds that would invalidate this.
Each thread specializes a thread-local copy of the bytecode, created on the first RESUME, in free-threaded builds. All copies of the bytecode for a code object are stored in the co_tlbc array on the code object. Threads reserve a globally unique index identifying its copy of the bytecode in all co_tlbc arrays at thread creation and release the index at thread destruction. The first entry in every co_tlbc array always points to the "main" copy of the bytecode that is stored at the end of the code object. This ensures that no bytecode is copied for programs that do not use threads.
Thread-local bytecode can be disabled at runtime by providing either -X tlbc=0 or PYTHON_TLBC=0. Disabling thread-local bytecode also disables specialization.
Concurrent modifications to the bytecode made by the specializing interpreter and instrumentation use atomics, with specialization taking care not to overwrite an instruction that was instrumented concurrently.
* Fix usage of PyStackRef_FromPyObjectSteal in CALL_TUPLE_1
This was missed in gh-124894
* Fix usage of PyStackRef_FromPyObjectSteal in _CALL_STR_1
This was missed in gh-124894
* Regenerate code
This is essentially a cleanup, moving a handful of API declarations to the header files where they fit best, creating new ones when needed.
We do the following:
* add pycore_debug_offsets.h and move _Py_DebugOffsets, etc. there
* inline struct _getargs_runtime_state and struct _gilstate_runtime_state in _PyRuntimeState
* move struct _reftracer_runtime_state to the existing pycore_object_state.h
* add pycore_audit.h and move to it _Py_AuditHookEntry , _PySys_Audit(), and _PySys_ClearAuditHooks
* add audit.h and cpython/audit.h and move the existing audit-related API there
*move the perfmap/trampoline API from cpython/sysmodule.h to cpython/ceval.h, and remove the now-empty cpython/sysmodule.h
Each of the `LOAD_GLOBAL` specializations is implemented roughly as:
1. Load keys version.
2. Load cached keys version.
3. Deopt if (1) and (2) don't match.
4. Load keys.
5. Load cached index into keys.
6. Load object from (4) at offset from (5).
This is not thread-safe in free-threaded builds; the keys object may be replaced
in between steps (3) and (4).
This change refactors the specializations to avoid reloading the keys object and
instead pass the keys object from guards to be consumed by downstream uops.
* Spill the evaluation around escaping calls in the generated interpreter and JIT.
* The code generator tracks live, cached values so they can be saved to memory when needed.
* Spills the stack pointer around escaping calls, so that the exact stack is visible to the cycle GC.
Use a `_PyStackRef` and defer the reference to `f_funcobj` when
possible. This avoids some reference count contention in the common case
of executing the same code object from multiple threads concurrently in
the free-threaded build.

This replaces `_PyList_FromArraySteal` with `_PyList_FromStackRefSteal`.
It's functionally equivalent, but takes a `_PyStackRef` array instead of
an array of `PyObject` pointers.

`BUILD_SET` should use a borrow instead of a steal. The cleanup in `_DO_CALL`
`CONVERSION_FAILED` was incorrect.

This automatically spills the results from `_PyStackRef_FromPyObjectNew`
to the in-memory stack so that the deferred references are visible to
the GC before we make any possibly escaping call.
