Use per-thread refcounting for the reference from function objects to
their corresponding code object. This can be a source of contention when
frequently creating nested functions. Deferred refcounting alone isn't a
great fit here because these references are on the heap and may be
modified by other libraries.
This fixes a crash when running the PyO3 test suite on the free-threaded
build. The `qsbr` field is initialized after the `PyThreadState` is
added to the interpreter's linked list -- it might still be NULL.
Instead, we "steal" the queue of to-be-freed memory blocks. This is
always initialized (possibly empty) and protected by the stop the world
pause.
Users want to know when the current context switches to a different
context object. Right now this happens when and only when a context
is entered or exited, so the enter and exit events are synonymous with
"switched". However, if the changes proposed for gh-99633 are
implemented, the current context will also switch for reasons other
than context enter or exit. Since users actually care about context
switches and not enter or exit, replace the enter and exit events with
a single switched event.
The former exit event was emitted just before exiting the context.
The new switched event is emitted after the context is exited to match
the semantics users expect of an event with a past-tense name. If
users need the ability to clean up before the switch takes effect,
another event type can be added in the future. It is not added here
because YAGNI.
I skipped 0 in the enum as a matter of practice. Skipping 0 makes it
easier to troubleshoot when code forgets to set zeroed memory, and it
aligns with best practices for other tools (e.g.,
https://protobuf.dev/programming-guides/dos-donts/#unspecified-enum).
When formatting the AST as a string, infinite values are replaced by
1e309, which evaluates to infinity. The initialization of this string
replacement was not thread-safe in the free threading build.
Each of the `LOAD_GLOBAL` specializations is implemented roughly as:
1. Load keys version.
2. Load cached keys version.
3. Deopt if (1) and (2) don't match.
4. Load keys.
5. Load cached index into keys.
6. Load object from (4) at offset from (5).
This is not thread-safe in free-threaded builds; the keys object may be replaced
in between steps (3) and (4).
This change refactors the specializations to avoid reloading the keys object and
instead pass the keys object from guards to be consumed by downstream uops.

Stop the world when invalidating function versions
The tier1 interpreter specializes `CALL` instructions based on the values
of certain function attributes (e.g. `__code__`, `__defaults__`). The tier1
interpreter uses function versions to verify that the attributes of a function
during execution of a specialization match those seen during specialization.
A function's version is initialized in `MAKE_FUNCTION` and is invalidated when
any of the critical function attributes are changed. The tier1 interpreter stores
the function version in the inline cache during specialization. A guard is used by
the specialized instruction to verify that the version of the function on the operand
stack matches the cached version (and therefore has all of the expected attributes).
It is assumed that once the guard passes, all attributes will remain unchanged
while executing the rest of the specialized instruction.
Stopping the world when invalidating function versions ensures that all critical
function attributes will remain unchanged after the function version guard passes
in free-threaded builds. It's important to note that this is only true if the remainder
of the specialized instruction does not enter and exit a stop-the-world point.
We will stop the world the first time any of the following function attributes
are mutated:
- defaults
- vectorcall
- kwdefaults
- closure
- code
This should happen rarely and only happens once per function, so the performance
impact on majority of code should be minimal.
Additionally, refactor the API for manipulating function versions to more clearly
match the stated semantics.
* Spill the evaluation around escaping calls in the generated interpreter and JIT.
* The code generator tracks live, cached values so they can be saved to memory when needed.
* Spills the stack pointer around escaping calls, so that the exact stack is visible to the cycle GC.
Instead of surprise crashes and memory corruption, we now hang threads that attempt to re-enter the Python interpreter after Python runtime finalization has started. These are typically daemon threads (our long standing mis-feature) but could also be threads spawned by extension modules that then try to call into Python. This marks the `PyThread_exit_thread` public C API as deprecated as there is no plausible safe way to accomplish that on any supported platform in the face of things like C++ code with finalizers anywhere on a thread's stack. Doing this was the least bad option.

Currently, we only use per-thread reference counting for heap type objects and
the naming reflects that. We will extend it to a few additional types in an
upcoming change to avoid scaling bottlenecks when creating nested functions.
Rename some of the files and functions in preparation for this change.
Instead of be limited just by the size of addressable memory (2**63
bytes), Python integers are now also limited by the number of bits, so
the number of bit now always fit in a 64-bit integer.
Both limits are much larger than what might be available in practice,
so it doesn't affect users.
_PyLong_NumBits() and _PyLong_Frexp() are now always successful.
Fix a bug that can cause a crash when sub-interpreters use "basic"
single-phase extension modules. Shared objects could refer to PyGC_Head
nodes that had been freed as part of interpreter shutdown.
Use a `_PyStackRef` and defer the reference to `f_funcobj` when
possible. This avoids some reference count contention in the common case
of executing the same code object from multiple threads concurrently in
the free-threaded build.
