In the list of generated frozen modules at the top of Tools/scripts/freeze_modules.py, you will find that some of the modules have a different name than the module (or .py file) that is actually frozen. Let's call each case an "alias". Aliases do not come into play until we get to the (generated) list of modules in Python/frozen.c. (The tool for freezing modules, Programs/_freeze_module, is only concerned with the source file, not the module it will be used for.)
Knowledge of which frozen modules are aliases (and the identity of the original module) normally isn't important. However, this information is valuable when we go to set __file__ on frozen stdlib modules. This change updates Tools/scripts/freeze_modules.py to map aliases to the original module name (or None if not a stdlib module) in Python/frozen.c. We also add a helper function in Python/import.c to look up a frozen module's alias and add the result of that function to the frozen info returned from find_frozen().

I've added a number of test-only modules. Some of those cases are covered by the recently frozen stdlib modules (and some will be once we add encodings back in). However, I figured we'd play it safe by having a set of modules guaranteed to be there during tests.

Currently we're freezing the __init__.py twice, duplicating the built data unnecessarily With this change we do it once. There is no change in runtime behavior.

* Makefile.pre.in: Add $(srcdir) when needed, remove it when it was
used by mistake.
* freeze_modules.py tool uses ./Programs/_freeze_module if the
executable doesn't exist in the source tree.
The update_file.py tool now preserves the end of line of the updated
file. Fix the "make regen-frozen" command: it no longer changes the
end of line of PCbuild/ files on Unix. Git changes the end of line
depending on the platform.
The main advantage is that the files will no longer show up in diffs and PRs. That means, for a PR, the number of files / lines changed will more clearly reflect the actual change. (This is essentially an un-revert of gh-28375.)

Here's one more small cleanup that should have been in PR gh-28319. We eliminate stdout side-effects from importing the frozen __hello__ module, and update tests accordingly. We also move the module's source file into Lib/ from Toos/freeze/flag.py.
https://bugs.python.org/issue45019
This will enable us to drop the frozen module header files from the repository.
It does currently cause many source files to be built twice, which just takes more time. For whoever comes to fix this in the future, the files shared between freeze_module and pythoncore should be put into a static library that is consumed by both.
Doing this provides significant performance gains for runtime startup (~15% with all the imported modules frozen). We don't yet freeze all the imported modules because there are a few hiccups in the build systems we need to sort out first. (See bpo-45186 and bpo-45188.)
Note that in PR GH-28320 we added a command-line flag (-X frozen_modules=[on|off]) that allows users to opt out of (or into) using frozen modules. The default is still "off" but we will change it to "on" as soon as we can do it in a way that does not cause contributors pain.
https://bugs.python.org/issue45020
There are a few things I missed in gh-27980. This is a follow-up that will make subsequent PRs cleaner. It includes fixes to tests and tools that reference the frozen modules.
https://bugs.python.org/issue45019
Frozen modules must be added to several files in order to work properly. Before this change this had to be done manually. Here we add a tool to generate the relevant lines in those files instead. This helps us avoid mistakes and omissions.

* Remove struct _node from the stable ABI list
This struct was removed along with the old parser in Python 3.9 (PEP 617)
* Stable ABI list: Use the public name "PyFrameObject" rather than "_frame"
* Ensure limited API doesn't contain private names
Names prefixed by an underscore are private by definition.
* Add a blurb
* Specialize LOAD_ATTR with LOAD_ATTR_SLOT and LOAD_ATTR_SPLIT_KEYS
* Move dict-common.h to internal/pycore_dict.h
* Add LOAD_ATTR_WITH_HINT specialized opcode.
* Quicken in function if loopy
* Specialize LOAD_ATTR for module attributes.
* Add specialization stats
The patch from [bpo-44074]() does not account for a possibly non-English locale and blindly greps for "HEAD branch" in a possibly localized text.

- Reformat the C API and ABI Versioning page (and extend/clarify a bit)
- Rewrite the stable ABI docs into a general text on C API Compatibility
- Add a list of Limited API contents, and notes for the individual items.
- Replace `Include/README.rst` with a link to a devguide page with the same info
"Zero cost" exception handling.
* Uses a lookup table to determine how to handle exceptions.
* Removes SETUP_FINALLY and POP_TOP block instructions, eliminating (most of) the runtime overhead of try statements.
* Reduces the size of the frame object by about 60%.
The stable_abi.py script no longer parse macros. Macro targets can be
static inline functions which are not part of the stable ABI, only
part of the limited C API.
Run "make regen-limited-abi" to exclude PyType_HasFeature from
Doc/data/stable_abi.dat.
Rename Include/symtable.h to to Include/internal/pycore_symtable.h,
don't export symbols anymore (replace PyAPI_FUNC and PyAPI_DATA with
extern) and rename functions:
* PyST_GetScope() to _PyST_GetScope()
* PySymtable_BuildObject() to _PySymtable_Build()
* PySymtable_Free() to _PySymtable_Free()
Remove PySymtable_Build(), Py_SymtableString() and
Py_SymtableStringObject() functions.
The Py_SymtableString() function was part the stable ABI by mistake
but it could not be used, since the symtable.h header file was
excluded from the limited C API.
The Python symtable module remains available and is unchanged.
Add frozen modules to sys.stdlib_module_names. For example, add
"_frozen_importlib" and "_frozen_importlib_external" names.
Add "list_frozen" command to Programs/_testembed.
Include/{odictobject.h,parser_interface.h,picklebufobject.h,pydebug.h,pyfpe.h}
into Include/cpython/.
Parser: peg_api: include Python.h instead of parser_interface.h.
Add a new configure --without-static-libpython option to not build
the libpythonMAJOR.MINOR.a static library and not install the
python.o object file.
Fix smelly.py and stable_abi.py tools when libpython3.10.a is
missing.
Add a private list of all stdlib modules: _Py_module_names.
* Add Tools/scripts/generate_module_names.py script.
* Makefile: Add "make regen-module-names" command.
* setup.py: Add --list-module-names option.
* GitHub Action and Travis CI also runs "make regen-module-names",
not ony "make regen-all", to ensure that the module names remains
up to date.
The smelly.py script now also checks the Python dynamic library and
extension modules, not only the Python static library. Make also the
script more verbose: explain what it does.
The GitHub Action job now builds Python with the libpython dynamic
library.
