Python built with "configure --with-trace-refs" (tracing references)
is now ABI compatible with Python release build and debug build.
Moreover, it now also supports the Limited API.
Change Py_TRACE_REFS build:
* Remove _PyObject_EXTRA_INIT macro.
* The PyObject structure no longer has two extra members (_ob_prev
and _ob_next).
* Use a hash table (_Py_hashtable_t) to trace references (all
objects): PyInterpreterState.object_state.refchain.
* Py_TRACE_REFS build is now ABI compatible with release build and
debug build.
* Limited C API extensions can now be built with Py_TRACE_REFS:
xxlimited, xxlimited_35, _testclinic_limited.
* No longer rename PyModule_Create2() and PyModule_FromDefAndSpec2()
functions to PyModule_Create2TraceRefs() and
PyModule_FromDefAndSpec2TraceRefs().
* _Py_PrintReferenceAddresses() is now called before
finalize_interp_delete() which deletes the refchain hash table.
* test_tracemalloc find_trace() now also filters by size to ignore
the memory allocated by _PyRefchain_Trace().
Test changes for Py_TRACE_REFS:
* Add test.support.Py_TRACE_REFS constant.
* Add test_sys.test_getobjects() to test sys.getobjects() function.
* test_exceptions skips test_recursion_normalizing_with_no_memory()
and test_memory_error_in_PyErr_PrintEx() if Python is built with
Py_TRACE_REFS.
* test_repl skips test_no_memory().
* test_capi skisp test_set_nomemory().
If Python is built with ./configure --with-trace-refs, don't build
the _testclinic_limited extension. The limited C API (Py_LIMITED_API)
is not compatible with Py_TRACE_REFS.
- Move platform triplet detection code into Misc/platform_triplet.c
- Refactor MIPS detection, use defined(__mips64) to detect MIPS64
- Compute libc values in separate section
- Add detection for MIPS soft float
- Add detection for musl
musl supports SPE with its soft-float ABI:

Quoting autoconf (v2.71):
All current systems provide time.h; it need not be checked for.
Not all systems provide sys/time.h, but those that do, all allow
you to include it and time.h simultaneously.
Apply BOLT optimizations to libpython for shared builds. Most of the C
code is in libpython so it is critical to apply BOLT there fully realize
BOLT benefits.
This change also reworks how BOLT instrumentation is applied. It
effectively removes the readelf based logic added in gh-101525 and
replaces it with a mechanism that saves a copy of the pre-bolt binary
and restores that copy when necessary. This allows us to perform BOLT
optimizations without having to manually delete the output binary to
force a new bolt run.
Also:
- add a clean-bolt target for purging BOLT files and hook that up to the
clean target
- .gitignore BOLT related files
Before and after this refactor, `make` will no-op after a previous run.
Both versions should also share common make DAG deficiencies where
targets fail to trigger as often as they need to or can trigger
prematurely in certain scenarios. e.g. after this change you may need to
`rm profile-bolt-stamp` to force a BOLT run because there aren't
appropriate non-phony targets for BOLT's make target to depend on.
To make it easier to iterate on custom BOLT settings, the flags to pass
to instrumentation and application are now defined in configure and can
be overridden by passing BOLT_INSTRUMENT_FLAGS and BOLT_APPLY_FLAGS.
This merges their code. They're backed by the same single HACL* static library, having them be a single module simplifies maintenance.
This should unbreak the wasm enscripten builds that currently fail due to linking in --whole-archive mode and the HACL* library appearing twice.
Long unnoticed error fixed: _sha512.SHA384Type was doubly assigned and was actually SHA512Type. Nobody depends on those internal names.
Also rename LIBHACL_ make vars to LIBHACL_SHA2_ in preperation for other future HACL things.
Replace the builtin hashlib implementations of SHA2-384 and SHA2-512
originally from LibTomCrypt with formally verified, side-channel resistant
code from the [HACL*](https://github.com/hacl-star/hacl-star/) project.
The builtins remain a fallback only used when OpenSSL does not provide them.
replacing hashlib primitives (for the non-OpenSSL case) with verified implementations from HACL*. This is the first PR in the series, and focuses specifically on SHA2-256 and SHA2-224.
This PR imports Hacl_Streaming_SHA2 into the Python tree. This is the HACL* implementation of SHA2, which combines a core implementation of SHA2 along with a layer of buffer management that allows updating the digest with any number of bytes. This supersedes the previous implementation in the tree.
@franziskuskiefer was kind enough to benchmark the changes: in addition to being verified (thus providing significant safety and security improvements), this implementation also provides a sizeable performance boost!

The changes in this PR are as follows:
- import the subset of HACL* that covers SHA2-256/224 into `Modules/_hacl`
- rewire sha256module.c to use the HACL* implementation

Fix the gdbm_compat library detection logic to actually check for
-lgdbm_compat independently of the ndbm detection.
This fixes the build failure with `--with-dbmliborder=gdbm`,
and implicit fallback to ndbm with the default value.
When cross-compiling, the compile/run test for -pthread always fails so -pthread
will never be automatically set without an override from the cache. ac_cv_pthread
can already be overridden, so do the same thing for ac_cv_cxx_thread.
It has had no effect on non-macOS platforms for a long time, and has had
the non-obvious effect of invoking `pkg_config` and not setting
`-DUSING_APPLE_OS_LIBFFI` on macOS since GH-22855.
