This makes nearly all the operations on set thread-safe in the free-threaded build, with the exception of `_PySet_NextEntry` and `setiter_iternext`.

This implements the delayed reuse of mimalloc pages that contain Python
objects in the free-threaded build.
Allocations of the same size class are grouped in data structures called
pages. These are different from operating system pages. For thread-safety, we
want to ensure that memory used to store PyObjects remains valid as long as
there may be concurrent lock-free readers; we want to delay using it for
other size classes, in other heaps, or returning it to the operating system.
When a mimalloc page becomes empty, instead of immediately freeing it, we tag
it with a QSBR goal and insert it into a per-thread state linked list of
pages to be freed. When mimalloc needs a fresh page, we process the queue and
free any still empty pages that are now deemed safe to be freed. Pages
waiting to be freed are still available for allocations of the same size
class and allocating from a page prevent it from being freed. There is
additional logic to handle abandoned pages when threads exit.
This sets `MI_DEBUG` to `2` in debug builds to enable `mi_assert_internal()`
calls. Expensive internal assertions are not enabled.
This also disables an assertion in free-threaded builds that would be
triggered by the free-threaded GC because we traverse heaps that are not
owned by the current thread.
The previous code had two bugs. First, the debug offset in the mimalloc
heap includes the two pymalloc debug words, but the pointer passed to
fill_mem_debug does not include them. Second, the current object heap is
correct source for allocations, but not deallocations.
This adds `_PyMem_FreeDelayed()` and supporting functions. The
`_PyMem_FreeDelayed()` function frees memory with the same allocator as
`PyMem_Free()`, but after some delay to ensure that concurrent lock-free
readers have finished.
This avoids filling the memory occupied by ob_tid, ob_ref_local, and
ob_ref_shared with debug bytes (e.g., 0xDD) in mimalloc in the
free-threaded build.
The GC keeps track of the number of allocations (less deallocations)
since the last GC. This buffers the count in thread-local state and uses
atomic operations to modify the per-interpreter count. The thread-local
buffering avoids contention on shared state.
A consequence is that the GC scheduling is not as precise, so
"test_sneaky_frame_object" is skipped because it requires that the GC be
run exactly after allocating a frame object.
Makes _PyType_Lookup thread safe, including:
Thread safety of the underlying cache.
Make mutation of mro and type members thread safe
Also _PyType_GetMRO and _PyType_GetBases are currently returning borrowed references which aren't safe.
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.
We add _winapi.BatchedWaitForMultipleObjects to wait for larger numbers of handles.
This is an internal module, hence undocumented, and should be used with caution.
Check the docstring for info before using BatchedWaitForMultipleObjects.
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.
Fixes a few issues related to refleak tracking in the free-threaded build:
- Count blocks in abandoned segments
- Call `_mi_page_free_collect` earlier during heap traversal in order to get an accurate count of blocks in use.
- Add missing refcount tracking in `_Py_DecRefSharedDebug` and `_Py_ExplicitMergeRefcount`.
- Pause threads in `get_num_global_allocated_blocks` to ensure that traversing the mimalloc heaps is safe.
This changes a number of internal usages of `PyDict_SetDefault` to use `PyDict_SetDefaultRef`.

Starts adding thread safety to dict objects.
Use @critical_section for APIs which are exposed via argument clinic and don't directly correlate with a public C API which needs to acquire the lock
Use a _lock_held suffix for keeping changes to complicated functions simple and just wrapping them with a critical section
Acquire and release the lock in an existing function where it won't be overly disruptive to the existing logic
The `PyDict_SetDefaultRef` function is similar to `PyDict_SetDefault`,
but returns a strong reference through the optional `**result` pointer
instead of a borrowed reference.

The new `PyList_GetItemRef` is similar to `PyList_GetItem`, but returns
a strong reference instead of a borrowed reference. Additionally, if the
passed "list" object is not a list, the function sets a `TypeError`
instead of calling `PyErr_BadInternalCall()`.
* gh-112529: Remove PyGC_Head from object pre-header in free-threaded build
This avoids allocating space for PyGC_Head in the free-threaded build.
The GC implementation for free-threaded CPython does not use the
PyGC_Head structure.
* The trashcan mechanism uses the `ob_tid` field instead of `_gc_prev`
in the free-threaded build.
* The GDB libpython.py file now determines the offset of the managed
dict field based on whether the running process is a free-threaded
build. Those are identified by the `ob_ref_local` field in PyObject.
* Fixes `_PySys_GetSizeOf()` which incorrectly incorrectly included the
size of `PyGC_Head` in the size of static `PyTypeObject`.
PyObject_GetBuffer() now raises a SystemError if called with
PyBUF_READ or PyBUF_WRITE as flags. These flags should
only be used with the PyMemoryView_* C API.
For interpreters that share state with the main interpreter, this points
to the same static memory structure. For interpreters with their own
obmalloc state, it is heap allocated. Add free_obmalloc_arenas() which
will free the obmalloc arenas and radix tree structures for interpreters
with their own obmalloc state.

This adds support for visiting abandoned pages in mimalloc and improves
the performance of the page visiting code. Abandoned pages contain
memory blocks from threads that have exited. At some point, they may be
later reclaimed by other threads. We still need to visit those pages in
the free-threaded GC because they contain live objects.
This also reduces the overhead of visiting mimalloc pages:
* Special cases for full, empty, and pages containing only a single
block.
* Fix free_map to use one bit instead of one byte per block.
* Use fast integer division by a constant algorithm when computing
block offset from block size and index.
* gh-112529: Use GC heaps for GC allocations in free-threaded builds
The free-threaded build's garbage collector implementation will need to
find GC objects by traversing mimalloc heaps. This hooks up the
allocation calls with the correct heaps by using a thread-local
"current_obj_heap" variable.
* Refactor out setting heap based on type
* gh-112529: Track if debug allocator is used as underlying allocator
The GC implementation for free-threaded builds will need to accurately
detect if the debug allocator is used because it affects the offset of
the Python object from the beginning of the memory allocation. The
current implementation of `_PyMem_DebugEnabled` only considers if the
debug allocator is the outer-most allocator; it doesn't handle the case
of "hooks" like tracemalloc being used on top of the debug allocator.
This change enables more accurate detection of the debug allocator by
tracking when debug hooks are enabled.
* Simplify _PyMem_DebugEnabled
This fixes `_PyInterpreterState_GetAllocatedBlocks()` and
`_Py_GetGlobalAllocatedBlocks()` in the free-threaded builds. The
gh-113263 change that introduced multiple mimalloc heaps per-thread
broke the logic for counting the number of allocated blocks. For subtle
reasons, this led to reported reference count leaks in the refleaks
buildbots.
`PyComplex_RealAsDouble()`/`PyComplex_ImagAsDouble` now try to convert
an object to a `complex` instance using its `__complex__()` method
before falling back to the ``__float__()`` method.
PyComplex_ImagAsDouble() also will not silently return 0.0 for
non-complex types anymore. Instead we try to call PyFloat_AsDouble()
and return 0.0 only if this call is successful.
gh-113750: Fix object resurrection on free-threaded builds
This avoids the undesired re-initializing of fields like `ob_gc_bits`,
`ob_mutex`, and `ob_tid` when an object is resurrected due to its
finalizer being called.
This change has no effect on the default (with GIL) build.
* gh-112532: Tag mimalloc heaps and pages
Mimalloc pages are data structures that contain contiguous allocations
of the same block size. Note that they are distinct from operating
system pages. Mimalloc pages are contained in segments.
When a thread exits, it abandons any segments and contained pages that
have live allocations. These segments and pages may be later reclaimed
by another thread. To support GC and certain thread-safety guarantees in
free-threaded builds, we want pages to only be reclaimed by the
corresponding heap in the claimant thread. For example, we want pages
containing GC objects to only be claimed by GC heaps.
This allows heaps and pages to be tagged with an integer tag that is
used to ensure that abandoned pages are only claimed by heaps with the
same tag. Heaps can be initialized with a tag (0-15); any page allocated
by that heap copies the corresponding tag.
* Fix conversion warning
* gh-112532: Isolate abandoned segments by interpreter
Mimalloc segments are data structures that contain memory allocations along
with metadata. Each segment is "owned" by a thread. When a thread exits,
it abandons its segments to a global pool to be later reclaimed by other
threads. This changes the pool to be per-interpreter instead of process-wide.
This will be important for when we use mimalloc to find GC objects in the
`--disable-gil` builds. We want heaps to only store Python objects from a
single interpreter. Absent this change, the abandoning and reclaiming process
could break this isolation.
* Add missing '&_mi_abandoned_default' to 'tld_empty'
Fix undefined behavior warnings (UBSan -fsanitize=function), for example:
Python/generated_cases.c.h:3315:13: runtime error: call to function mappingproxy_dealloc through pointer to incorrect function type 'void (*)(struct _object *)'
descrobject.c:1160: note: mappingproxy_dealloc defined here

SUMMARY: UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer: undefined-behavior Objects/object.c:674:11 in
* gh-112532: Use separate mimalloc heaps for GC objects
In `--disable-gil` builds, we now use four separate heaps in
anticipation of using mimalloc to find GC objects when the GIL is
disabled. To support this, we also make a few changes to mimalloc:
* `mi_heap_t` and `mi_tld_t` initialization is split from allocation.
This allows us to have a `mi_tld_t` per-`PyThreadState`, which is
important to keep interpreter isolation, since the same OS thread may
run in multiple interpreters (using different PyThreadStates.)
* Heap abandoning (mi_heap_collect_ex) can now be called from a
different thread than the one that created the heap. This is necessary
because we may clear and delete the containing PyThreadStates from a
different thread during finalization and after fork().
* Use enum instead of defines and guard mimalloc includes.
* The enum typedef will be convenient for future PRs that use the type.
* Guarding the mimalloc includes allows us to unconditionally include
pycore_mimalloc.h from other header files that rely on things like
`struct _mimalloc_thread_state`.
* Only define _mimalloc_thread_state in Py_GIL_DISABLED builds
gh-112027: Don't print mimalloc warning after mmap
This changes the warning to a "verbose"-level message in prim.c. The
address passed to mmap is only a hint -- it's normal for mmap() to
sometimes not respect the hint and return a different address.
* Make memory_clear() compatible with inquiry
* Make memory_traverse() compatible with traverseproc
* Make memory_dealloc() compatible with destructor
* Make memory_repr() compatible with reprfunc
* Make memory_hash() compatible with hashfunc
* Make memoryiter_next() compatible with iternextfunc
* Make memoryiter_traverse() compatible with traverseproc
* Make memoryiter_dealloc() compatible with destructor
* Make several functions compatible with getter
* Make a few functions compatible with getter

* Make memory_releasebuf() compatible with releasebufferproc
* Make memory_getbuf() compatible with getbufferproc
* Make mbuf_clear() compatible with inquiry
* Make mbuf_traverse() compatible with traverseproc
* Make mbuf_dealloc() compatible with destructor
This replaces some usages of PyThread_type_lock with PyMutex, which does not require memory allocation to initialize.
This simplifies some of the runtime initialization and is also one step towards avoiding changing the default raw memory allocator during initialize/finalization, which can be non-thread-safe in some circumstances.
Previously arbitrary errors could be cleared during formatting error
messages for ImportError or AttributeError for modules. Now all
unexpected errors are reported.
This avoids:
python3.13 Tools/unicode/makeunicodedata.py
python3.13: can't open file '.../build/debug/Tools/unicode/makeunicodedata.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory
make: *** [Makefile:1498: regen-unicodedata] Error 2

* Split list_extend() into two sub-functions: list_extend_fast() and
list_extend_iter().
* list_inplace_concat() no longer has to call Py_DECREF() on the
list_extend() result, since list_extend() now returns an int.
Critical sections are helpers to replace the global interpreter lock
with finer grained locking. They provide similar guarantees to the GIL
and avoid the deadlock risk that plain locking involves. Critical
sections are implicitly ended whenever the GIL would be released. They
are resumed when the GIL would be acquired. Nested critical sections
behave as if the sections were interleaved.

Replace PyUnicode_AsUTF8AndSize() with PyUnicode_AsUTF8() to remove
the explicit check for embedded null characters.
The change avoids to have to include explicitly <string.h> to get the
strlen() function when using a recent version of the limited C API.
This is partly to clear this stuff out of pystate.c, but also in preparation for moving some code out of _xxsubinterpretersmodule.c. This change also moves this stuff to the internal API (new: Include/internal/pycore_crossinterp.h). @vstinner did this previously and I undid it. Now I'm re-doing it. :/
Don't declare _PyMem_MimallocEnabled() if WITH_PYMALLOC macro is not
defined (./configure --without-pymalloc).
Fix also a typo in _PyInterpreterState_FinalizeAllocatedBlocks().
* Add mimalloc v2.12
Modified src/alloc.c to remove include of alloc-override.c and not
compile new handler.
Did not include the following files:
- include/mimalloc-new-delete.h
- include/mimalloc-override.h
- src/alloc-override-osx.c
- src/alloc-override.c
- src/static.c
- src/region.c
mimalloc is thread safe and shares a single heap across all runtimes,
therefore finalization and getting global allocated blocks across all
runtimes is different.
* mimalloc: minimal changes for use in Python:
- remove debug spam for freeing large allocations
- use same bytes (0xDD) for freed allocations in CPython and mimalloc
This is important for the test_capi debug memory tests
* Don't export mimalloc symbol in libpython.
* Enable mimalloc as Python allocator option.
* Add mimalloc MIT license.
* Log mimalloc in Lib/test/pythoninfo.py.
* Document new mimalloc support.
* Use macro defs for exports as done in:

There is a WIP proposal to enable webassembly stack switching which have been
implemented in v8:
https://github.com/WebAssembly/js-promise-integration
It is not possible to switch stacks that contain JS frames so the Emscripten JS
trampolines that allow calling functions with the wrong number of arguments
don't work in this case. However, the js-promise-integration proposal requires
the [type reflection for Wasm/JS API](https://github.com/WebAssembly/js-types)
proposal, which allows us to actually count the number of arguments a function
expects.
For better compatibility with stack switching, this PR checks if type reflection
is available, and if so we use a switch block to decide the appropriate
signature. If type reflection is unavailable, we should use the current EMJS
trampoline.
We cache the function argument counts since when I didn't cache them performance
was negatively affected.
