Add --with-experimental-isolated-subinterpreters build option to
configure: better isolate subinterpreters, experimental build mode.
When used, force the usage of the libc malloc() memory allocator,
since pymalloc relies on the unique global interpreter lock (GIL).
The os.putenv() and os.unsetenv() functions are now always available.
On non-Windows platforms, Python now requires setenv() and unsetenv()
functions to build.
Remove putenv_dict from posixmodule.c: it's not longer needed.
If setenv() C function is available, os.putenv() is now implemented
with setenv() instead of putenv(), so Python doesn't have to handle
the environment variable memory.
Provides a richer platform tag for AIX that we expect to be sufficient for PEP 425
binary distribution identification. Any backports to earlier Python versions will be
handled via setuptools.

Fix stdatomic.h header check for ICC compiler: the ICC implementation
lacks atomic_uintptr_t type which is needed by Python.
Test:
* atomic_int and atomic_uintptr_t types
* atomic_load_explicit() and atomic_store_explicit()
* memory_order_relaxed and memory_order_seq_cst constants
But don't test ATOMIC_VAR_INIT(): it's not used in Python.
* bpo-26836: Add os.memfd_create()
* Use the glibc wrapper for memfd_create()
Co-Authored-By: Christian Heimes <christian@python.org>
* Fix deletions caused by autoreconf.
* Use MFD_CLOEXEC as the default value for *flags*.
* Add memset_s to configure.ac.
* Revert memset_s changes.
* Apply the requested changes.
* Tweak the docs.
Release build and debug build are now ABI compatible: the Py_DEBUG
define no longer implies Py_TRACE_REFS define which introduces the
only ABI incompatibility.
A new "./configure --with-trace-refs" build option is now required to
get Py_TRACE_REFS define which adds sys.getobjects() function and
PYTHONDUMPREFS environment variable.
Changes:
* Add ./configure --with-trace-refs
* Py_DEBUG no longer implies Py_TRACE_REFS
Use autoconfig to probe for shm_open() and shm_unlink(). Set SHM_NEEDS_LIBRT if we must
link with librt to get the shm_* functions. Change setup.py to use the autoconfig defines. These
changes should make it more likely that _multiprocessing/posixshmem.c gets built correctly on
different platforms.
Use crypt_r() when available instead of crypt() in the crypt module.
As a nice side effect: This also avoids a memory sanitizer flake as clang msan doesn't know about crypt's internal libc allocated buffer.
It is unused.

Release GIL on grp.getgrnam(), grp.getgrgid(), pwd.getpwnam() and
pwd.getpwuid() if reentrant variants of these functions are available.
Patch by William Grzybowski.
Introduce a configure check for strsignal(3) which defines HAVE_STRSIGNAL for
signalmodule.c. Add some common signals on HP-UX. This change applies for
Windows and HP-UX.
Until now Python used a hard coded white list of default TLS cipher
suites. The old approach has multiple downsides. OpenSSL's default
selection was completely overruled. Python did neither benefit from new
cipher suites (ChaCha20, TLS 1.3 suites) nor blacklisted cipher suites.
For example we used to re-enable 3DES.
Python now defaults to OpenSSL DEFAULT cipher suite selection and black
lists all unwanted ciphers. Downstream vendors can override the default
cipher list with --with-ssl-default-suites.

glibc is deprecating libcrypt in favor of libxcrypt, however python assumes
that crypt.h will always be included. This change makes the header inclusion
explicit when libxcrypt is present on the system.
Add https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf-archive/ax_check_openssl.html
to auto-detect compiler flags, linker flags and libraries to compile
OpenSSL extensions. The M4 macro uses pkg-config and falls back to
manual detection.
Add autoconf magic to detect usable X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set1_host()
and related functions.
Refactor setup.py to use new config vars to compile _ssl and _hashlib
modules.

This module has never been enabled by default, never worked correctly
on x86-64, and caused ABI problems that caused C extension
compatibility. See bpo-29137 for details/discussion.
Starting with AIX6.1 there is support in libc.a for uuid (RFC4122)
This patch provides the changes needed for this integration with the OS.
On AIX the base function is uuid_create() rather than uuid_generate_time()
The AIX uuid_t typedef is more aligned to the UUID field based definition
while the Linux typedef that is more aligned with UUID bytes
(or perhaps UUID bytes_le) definitions.
Modify the code to use ncurses is_pad() instead of checking WINDOW
_flags field. If your platform does not provide the is_pad(), the
existing way that checks the field will be enabled.
Note: This change does not drop support for platforms where do not
have both WINDOW _flags field and is_pad().
See PEP 539 for details.
Highlights of changes:
- Add Thread Specific Storage (TSS) API
- Document the Thread Local Storage (TLS) API as deprecated
- Update code that used TLS API to use TSS API
Python requires C implementations provide memmove, so we shouldn't need to check for it. The only place using this configure check was expat, where we can simply always define HAVE_MEMMOVE.

`PYTHONFRAMEWORK` is defined in `Makefile` and it shoulnd't be used
in `pyconfig.h`.
`sysconfig.py --generate-posix-vars` reads config vars from Makefile
and `pyconfig.h`. Conflicting variables should be avoided.
Especially, string config variables in Makefile are unquoted, but
in `pyconfig.h` are keep quoted. So it should be private (starts with
underscore).

- coerces legacy C locale to C.UTF-8, C.utf8 or UTF-8 by default
- always uses C.UTF-8 on Android
- uses `surrogateescape` on stdin and stdout in the coercion
target locales

- configure option to disable C locale warning at build time
Patch by Masayuki Yamamoto, reviewed and rebased by Erik Bray.
This is a first step on the long road toward resupporting Cygwin, which does
not provide siginfo_t.si_band.
Tested on macOS 10.11 dtrace, Ubuntu 16.04 SystemTap, and libbcc.
Largely based by an initial patch by Jesús Cea Avión, with some
influence from Dave Malcolm's SystemTap patch and Nikhil Benesch's
unification patch.
Things deliberately left out for simplicity:
- ustack helpers, I have no way of testing them at this point since
they are Solaris-specific
- PyFrameObject * in function__entry/function__return, this is
SystemTap-specific
- SPARC support
- dynamic tracing
- sys module dtrace facility introspection
All of those might be added later.
Issue #26839: On Linux, os.urandom() now calls getrandom() with GRND_NONBLOCK
to fall back on reading /dev/urandom if the urandom entropy pool is not
initialized yet. Patch written by Colm Buckley.
function instead of the getentropy() function. The getentropy() function is
blocking to generate very good quality entropy, os.urandom() doesn't need such
high-quality entropy.
"_Atomic void*" types work. Change needed on FreeBSD 10 where stdatomic.h is
available but the compiler fails on "_Atomic void*" with "_Atomic cannot be

It now closes only the open fds when it is possible to safely determine what
those are.

os.lchflags() are once again built on systems that support these
