multiprocessing tests now stop the ForkServer instance if it's
running: close the "alive" file descriptor to ask the server to stop
and then remove its UNIX address.
Fix multiprocessing.util.get_temp_dir() finalizer: clear also the
'tempdir' configuration of the current process, so next call to
get_temp_dir() will create a new temporary directory, rather than
reusing the removed temporary directory.
sys._base_executable is now always defined on all platforms, and can be overridden through configuration.
Also adds test.support.PythonSymlink to encapsulate platform-specific logic for symlinking sys.executable
The multiprocessing.resource_tracker replaces the multiprocessing.semaphore_tracker module. Other than semaphores, resource_tracker also tracks shared_memory segments. Patch by Pierre Glaser.
Deprecated passing the following arguments as keyword arguments:
- "func" in functools.partialmethod(), weakref.finalize(),
profile.Profile.runcall(), cProfile.Profile.runcall(),
bdb.Bdb.runcall(), trace.Trace.runfunc() and
curses.wrapper().
- "function" in unittest.addModuleCleanup() and
unittest.TestCase.addCleanup().
- "fn" in the submit() method of concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor
and concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutor.
- "callback" in contextlib.ExitStack.callback(),
contextlib.AsyncExitStack.callback() and
contextlib.AsyncExitStack.push_async_callback().
- "c" and "typeid" in the create() method of multiprocessing.managers.Server
and multiprocessing.managers.SharedMemoryServer.
- "obj" in weakref.finalize().
Also allowed to pass arbitrary keyword arguments (even "self" and "func")
if the above arguments are passed as positional argument.

Changes in this commit:
1. Use a _strong_ reference between the Pool and associated iterators
2. Rework PR #8450 to eliminate a cycle in the Pool.
There is no test in this commit because any test that automatically tests this behaviour needs to eliminate the pool before joining the pool to check that the pool object is garbaged collected/does not hang. But doing this will potentially leak threads and processes (see https://bugs.python.org/issue35413).
Fix a reference issue inside multiprocessing.Pool that caused the pool to remain alive if it was deleted without being closed or terminated explicitly.
After some failures in AMD64 FreeBSD CURRENT Debug 3.x buildbots
regarding tests in test_multiprocessing_spawn and after examining
similar failures in test_socket, some errors in the calculation of
ancillary data buffers were found in multiprocessing.reduction.
CMSG_LEN() can often be used as the buffer size for recvmsg() to
receive a single item of ancillary data, but RFC 3542 requires portable
applications to use CMSG_SPACE() and thus include space for padding,
even when the item will be the last in the buffer.
The failures we experience are due to the usage of CMSG_LEN() instead of
CMSG_SPACE().
Fail `test_semaphore_tracker_sigint` if no warnings are expected and one is received.
Fix race condition when the child receives SIGINT before it can register signal handlers for it.
The race condition occurs when the parent calls
`_semaphore_tracker.ensure_running()` (which in turn spawns the
semaphore_tracker using `_posixsubprocess.fork_exec`), the child
registers the signal handlers and the parent tries to kill the child.
What seem to happen is that in some slow systems, the parent sends the
signal to kill the child before the child protects against the signal.
Fix a race condition in Popen of
multiprocessing.popen_spawn_win32. The child process now duplicates
the read end of pipe instead of "stealing" it.
Previously, the read end of pipe was "stolen" by the child process,
but it leaked a handle if the child process had been terminated
before it could steal the handle from the parent process.
In some conditions the standard streams will be None or closed in the child process (for example if using "pythonw" instead of "python" on Windows). Avoid failing with a non-0 exit code in those conditions.
Report and initial patch by poxthegreat.
Fix deadlocks in :class:`concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutor` when task arguments or results cause pickling or unpickling errors.
This should make sure that calls to the :class:`ProcessPoolExecutor` API always eventually return.
* bpo-31310: multiprocessing's semaphore tracker should be launched again if crashed
* Avoid mucking with process state in test.
Add a warning if the semaphore process died, as semaphores may then be leaked.
* Add NEWS entry
