The PyMutex implementation supports unlocking after fork because we
clear the list of waiters in parking_lot.c. This doesn't work as well
for _PyRecursiveMutex because on some systems, such as SerenityOS, the
thread id is not preserved across fork().
This adds a `_PyRecursiveMutex` type based on `PyMutex` and uses that
for the import lock. This fixes some data races in the free-threaded
build and generally simplifies the import lock code.
This PR adds the ability to enable the GIL if it was disabled at
interpreter startup, and modifies the multi-phase module initialization
path to enable the GIL when loading a module, unless that module's spec
includes a slot indicating it can run safely without the GIL.
PEP 703 called the constant for the slot `Py_mod_gil_not_used`; I went
with `Py_MOD_GIL_NOT_USED` for consistency with gh-104148.
A warning will be issued up to once per interpreter for the first
GIL-using module that is loaded. If `-v` is given, a shorter message
will be printed to stderr every time a GIL-using module is loaded
(including the first one that issues a warning).
On Linux >= 2.6.36 with glibc < 2.27, `getcwd()` can return a relative
pathname starting with '(unreachable)'. We detect this and fail with
ENOENT, matching new glibc behaviour.

Split `_PyThreadState_DeleteExcept` into two functions:
- `_PyThreadState_RemoveExcept` removes all thread states other than one
passed as an argument. It returns the removed thread states as a
linked list.
- `_PyThreadState_DeleteList` deletes those dead thread states. It may
call destructors, so we want to "start the world" before calling
`_PyThreadState_DeleteList` to avoid potential deadlocks.
This changes the free-threaded build to perform a stop-the-world pause
before deleting other thread states when forking and during shutdown.
This fixes some crashes when using multiprocessing and during shutdown
when running with `PYTHON_GIL=0`.
This also changes `PyOS_BeforeFork` to acquire the runtime lock
(i.e., `HEAD_LOCK(&_PyRuntime)`) before forking to ensure that data
protected by the runtime lock (and not just the GIL or stop-the-world)
is in a consistent state before forking.
Starting in Python 3.12, we prevented calling fork() and starting new threads
during interpreter finalization (shutdown). This has led to a number of
regressions and flaky tests. We should not prevent starting new threads
(or `fork()`) until all non-daemon threads exit and finalization starts in
earnest.
This changes the checks to use `_PyInterpreterState_GetFinalizing(interp)`,
which is set immediately before terminating non-daemon threads.
Use the NtQueryInformationProcess system call to efficiently retrieve the parent process ID in a single step, rather than using the process snapshots API which retrieves large amounts of unnecessary information and is more prone to failure (since it makes heap allocations).
Includes a fallback to the original win32_getppid implementation in case the unstable API appears to return strange results.
Return 0 on success. Set an exception and return -1 on error.
Fix os.timerfd_settime(): properly report exceptions on
_PyTime_FromSecondsDouble() failure.
No longer export _PyTime_FromSecondsDouble().
<pycore_time.h> include is no longer needed to get the PyTime_t type
in internal header files. This type is now provided by <Python.h>
include. Add <pycore_time.h> includes to C files instead.
This adds a safe memory reclamation scheme based on FreeBSD's "GUS" and
quiescent state based reclamation (QSBR). The API provides a mechanism
for callers to detect when it is safe to free memory that may be
concurrently accessed by readers.
Add PythonFinalizationError exception. This exception derived from
RuntimeError is raised when an operation is blocked during the Python
finalization.
The following functions now raise PythonFinalizationError, instead of
RuntimeError:
* _thread.start_new_thread()
* subprocess.Popen
* os.fork()
* os.fork1()
* os.forkpty()
Morever, _winapi.Overlapped finalizer now logs an unraisable
PythonFinalizationError, instead of an unraisable RuntimeError.
On macOS the statvfs interface returns block counts as
32-bit integers, and that results in bad reporting for
larger disks.
Therefore reimplement statvfs in terms of statfs, which
does use 64-bit integers for block counts.
Tested using a sparse filesystem image of 100TB.
Biased reference counting maintains two refcount fields in each object:
`ob_ref_local` and `ob_ref_shared`. The true refcount is the sum of these two
fields. In some cases, when refcounting operations are split across threads,
the ob_ref_shared field can be negative (although the total refcount must be
at least zero). In this case, the thread that decremented the refcount
requests that the owning thread give up ownership and merge the refcount
fields.
This changes a number of internal usages of `PyDict_SetDefault` to use `PyDict_SetDefaultRef`.
