This makes select.poll() and kqueue() objects thread-safe in the
free-threaded build. Note that calling close() concurrently with other
functions is still not thread-safe due to races on file descriptors
(gh-121544).
The `_PySeqLock_EndRead` function needs an acquire fence to ensure that
the load of the sequence happens after any loads within the read side
critical section. The missing fence can trigger bugs on macOS arm64.
Additionally, we need a release fence in `_PySeqLock_LockWrite` to
ensure that the sequence update is visible before any modifications to
the cache entry.
Make error message for index() methods consistent
Remove the repr of the searched value (which can be arbitrary large)
from ValueError messages for list.index(), range.index(), deque.index(),
deque.remove() and ShareableList.index(). Make the error messages
consistent with error messages for other index() and remove()
methods.
Sometimes a large file is truncated (test_largefile). While
estimated_size is used as a estimate (the read will stil get the number
of bytes in the file), that it is much larger than the actual size of
data can result in a significant over allocation and sometimes lead to
a MemoryError / running out of memory.
This brings the C implementation to match the Python _pyio
implementation.
This reduces the system call count of a simple program[0] that reads all
the `.rst` files in Doc by over 10% (5706 -> 4734 system calls on my
linux system, 5813 -> 4875 on my macOS)
This reduces the number of `fstat()` calls always and seek calls most
the time. Stat was always called twice, once at open (to error early on
directories), and a second time to get the size of the file to be able
to read the whole file in one read. Now the size is cached with the
first call.
The code keeps an optimization that if the user had previously read a
lot of data, the current position is subtracted from the number of bytes
to read. That is somewhat expensive so only do it on larger files,
otherwise just try and read the extra bytes and resize the PyBytes as
needeed.
I built a little test program to validate the behavior + assumptions
around relative costs and then ran it under `strace` to get a log of the
system calls. Full samples below[1].
After the changes, this is everything in one `filename.read_text()`:
```python3
openat(AT_FDCWD, "cpython/Doc/howto/clinic.rst", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3`
fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=343, ...}) = 0`
ioctl(3, TCGETS, 0x7ffdfac04b40) = -1 ENOTTY (Inappropriate ioctl for device)
lseek(3, 0, SEEK_CUR) = 0
read(3, ":orphan:\n\n.. This page is retain"..., 344) = 343
read(3, "", 1) = 0
close(3) = 0
```
This does make some tradeoffs
1. If the file size changes between open() and readall(), this will
still get all the data but might have more read calls.
2. I experimented with avoiding the stat + cached result for small files
in general, but on my dev workstation at least that tended to reduce
performance compared to using the fstat().

This amends 6988ff02a5: memory allocation for
stginfo->ffi_type_pointer.elements in PyCSimpleType_init() should be
more generic (perhaps someday fmt->pffi_type->elements will be not a
two-elements array).
It should finally resolve#61103.

Refactor the fast Unicode hash check into `_PyObject_HashFast` and use relaxed
atomic loads in the free-threaded build.
After this change, the TSAN doesn't report data races for this method.
1. Use pkg-config to check for ncursesw/panelw. If that fails, use
pkg-config to check for ncurses/panel.
2. Regardless of pkg-config output, search for curses/panel headers, so
we're sure we have all defines in pyconfig.h.
3. Regardless of pkg-config output, check if libncurses or libncursesw
contains the 'initscr' symbol; if it does _and_ pkg-config failed
earlier, add the resulting -llib linker option to CURSES_LIBS.
Ditto for 'update_panels' and PANEL_LIBS.
4. Wrap the rest of the checks with WITH_SAVE_ENV and make sure we're
using updated LIBS and CPPFLAGS for those.
Add the PY_CHECK_CURSES convenience macro.
Fix warnings when using -Wimplicit-fallthrough compiler flag.
Annotate explicitly "fall through" switch cases with a new
_Py_FALLTHROUGH macro which uses __attribute__((fallthrough)) if
available. Replace "fall through" comments with _Py_FALLTHROUGH.
Add _Py__has_attribute() macro. No longer define __has_attribute()
macro if it's not defined. Move also _Py__has_builtin() at the top
of pyport.h.

This makes the following macros public as part of the non-limited C-API for
locking a single object or two objects at once.
* `Py_BEGIN_CRITICAL_SECTION(op)` / `Py_END_CRITICAL_SECTION()`
* `Py_BEGIN_CRITICAL_SECTION2(a, b)` / `Py_END_CRITICAL_SECTION2()`
The supporting functions and structs used by the macros are also exposed for
cases where C macros are not available.
* Add an InternalDocs file describing how interning should work and how to use it.
* Add internal functions to *explicitly* request what kind of interning is done:
- `_PyUnicode_InternMortal`
- `_PyUnicode_InternImmortal`
- `_PyUnicode_InternStatic`
* Switch uses of `PyUnicode_InternInPlace` to those.
* Disallow using `_Py_SetImmortal` on strings directly.
You should use `_PyUnicode_InternImmortal` instead:
- Strings should be interned before immortalization, otherwise you're possibly
interning a immortalizing copy.
- `_Py_SetImmortal` doesn't handle the `SSTATE_INTERNED_MORTAL` to
`SSTATE_INTERNED_IMMORTAL` update, and those flags can't be changed in
backports, as they are now part of public API and version-specific ABI.
* Add private `_only_immortal` argument for `sys.getunicodeinternedsize`, used in refleak test machinery.
* Make sure the statically allocated string singletons are unique. This means these sets are now disjoint:
- `_Py_ID`
- `_Py_STR` (including the empty string)
- one-character latin-1 singletons
Now, when you intern a singleton, that exact singleton will be interned.
* Add a `_Py_LATIN1_CHR` macro, use it instead of `_Py_ID`/`_Py_STR` for one-character latin-1 singletons everywhere (including Clinic).
* Intern `_Py_STR` singletons at startup.
* For free-threaded builds, intern `_Py_LATIN1_CHR` singletons at startup.
* Beef up the tests. Cover internal details (marked with `@cpython_only`).
* Add lots of assertions

Add support for not following symlinks in `pathlib.Path.copy()`.
On Windows we add the `COPY_FILE_COPY_SYMLINK` flag is following symlinks is disabled. If the source is symlink to a directory, this call will fail with `ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED`. In this case we add `COPY_FILE_DIRECTORY` to the flags and retry. This can fail on old Windowses, which we note in the docs.
No news as `copy()` was only just added.
This exposes `PyUnstable_Object_ClearWeakRefsNoCallbacks` as an unstable
C-API function to provide a thread-safe mechanism for clearing weakrefs
without executing callbacks.
Some C-API extensions need to clear weakrefs without calling callbacks,
such as after running finalizers like we do in subtype_dealloc.
Previously they could use `_PyWeakref_ClearRef` on each weakref, but
that's not thread-safe in the free-threaded build.

In gh-120009 I used an atexit hook to finalize the _datetime module's static types at interpreter shutdown. However, atexit hooks are executed very early in finalization, which is a problem in the few cases where a subclass of one of those static types is still alive until the final GC collection. The static builtin types don't have this probably because they are finalized toward the end, after the final GC collection. To avoid the problem for _datetime, I have applied a similar approach here.
Also, credit goes to @mgorny and @neonene for the new tests.
FYI, I would have liked to take a slightly cleaner approach with managed static types, but wanted to get a smaller fix in first for the sake of backporting. I'll circle back to the cleaner approach with a future change on the main branch.
The _strptime module object was cached in a static local variable (in the datetime.strptime() implementation). That's a problem when it crosses isolation boundaries, such as reinitializing the runtme or between interpreters. This change fixes the problem by dropping the static variable, instead always relying on the normal sys.modules cache (via PyImport_Import()).
