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

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()).
This adds a `_PyRecursiveMutex` type based on `PyMutex` and uses that
for the import lock. This fixes some data races in the free-threaded
build and generally simplifies the import lock code.
The `_PyThreadState_Bind()` function is called before the first
`PyEval_AcquireThread()` so it's not synchronized with the stop the
world GC. We had a race where `gc_visit_heaps()` might visit a thread's
heap while it's being initialized.
Use a simple atomic int to avoid visiting heaps for threads that are not
yet fully initialized (i.e., before `tstate_mimalloc_bind()` is called).
The race was reproducible by running:
`python Lib/test/test_importlib/partial/pool_in_threads.py`.
We make use of the same mechanism that we use for the static builtin types. This required a few tweaks.
The relevant code could use some cleanup but I opted to avoid the significant churn in this change. I'll tackle that separately.
This change is the final piece needed to make _datetime support multiple interpreters. I've updated the module slot accordingly.
I was able to make use of the existing datetime_state struct, but there was one tricky thing I had to sort out. We mostly aren't converting to heap types, so we can't use things like PyType_GetModuleByDef() to look up the module state. The solution I came up with is somewhat novel, but I consider it straightforward. Also, it shouldn't have much impact on performance.
In summary, this main changes here are:
* I've added some macros to help hide how various objects relate to module state
* as a solution to the module state lookup problem, I've stored the last loaded module on the current interpreter's internal dict (actually a weakref)
* if the static type method is used after the module has been deleted, it is reloaded
* to avoid extra work when loading the module, we directly copy the objects (new refs only) from the old module state into the new state if the old module hasn't been deleted yet
* during module init we set various objects on the static types' __dict__s; to simplify things, we only do that the first time; once those static types have a separate __dict__ per interpreter, we'll do it every time
* we now clear the module state when the module is destroyed (before, we were leaking everything in _datetime_global_state)
The free-threaded build currently immortalizes objects that use deferred
reference counting (see gh-117783). This typically happens once the
first non-main thread is created, but the behavior can be suppressed for
tests, in subinterpreters, or during a compile() call.
This fixes a race condition involving the tracking of whether the
behavior is suppressed.
Remove the delegation of `int` to the `__trunc__` special method: `int` will now only delegate to `__int__` and `__index__` (in that order). `__trunc__` continues to exist, but its sole purpose is to support `math.trunc`.

Support non-dict globals in LOAD_FROM_DICT_OR_GLOBALS
The implementation basically copies LOAD_GLOBAL. Possibly it could be deduplicated,
but that seems like it may get hairy since the two operations have different operands.
This is important to fix in 3.14 for PEP 649, but it's a bug in earlier versions too,
and we should backport to 3.13 and 3.12 if possible.
Structure layout, and especially bitfields, sometimes resulted in clearly
wrong behaviour like overlapping fields. This fixes

`drop_gil()` assumes that its caller is attached, which means that the current
thread holds the GIL if and only if the GIL is enabled, and the enabled-state
of the GIL won't change. This isn't true, though, because `detach_thread()`
calls `_PyEval_ReleaseLock()` after detaching and
`_PyThreadState_DeleteCurrent()` calls it after removing the current thread
from consideration for stop-the-world requests (effectively detaching it).
Fix this by remembering whether or not a thread acquired the GIL when it last
attached, in `PyThreadState._status.holds_gil`, and check this in `drop_gil()`
instead of `gil->enabled`.
This fixes a crash in `test_multiprocessing_pool_circular_import()`, so I've
reenabled it.
Add `Py_BEGIN_CRITICAL_SECTION_SEQUENCE_FAST` and
`Py_END_CRITICAL_SECTION_SEQUENCE_FAST` macros and update `str.join` to use
them. Also add a regression test that would crash reliably without this
patch.
_PyArg_Parser holds static global data generated for modules by Argument Clinic. The _PyArg_Parser.kwtuple field is a tuple object, even though it's stored within a static global. In some cases the tuple is statically allocated and thus it's okay that it gets shared by multiple interpreters. However, in other cases the tuple is set lazily, allocated from the heap using the active interprepreter at the point the tuple is needed.
This is a problem once that interpreter is destroyed since _PyArg_Parser.kwtuple becomes at dangling pointer, leading to crashes. It isn't a problem if the tuple is allocated under the main interpreter, since its lifetime is bound to the lifetime of the runtime. The solution here is to temporarily switch to the main interpreter. The alternative would be to always statically allocate the tuple.
This change also fixes a bug where only the most recent parser was added to the global linked list.
The PEP 649 implementation will require a way to load NotImplementedError
from the bytecode. @markshannon suggested implementing this by converting
LOAD_ASSERTION_ERROR into a more general mechanism for loading constants.
This PR adds this new opcode. I will work on the rest of the implementation
of the PEP separately.

`_Py_qsbr_unregister` is called when the PyThreadState is already
detached, so the access to `tstate->qsbr` isn't safe without locking the
shared mutex. Grab the `struct _qsbr_shared` from the interpreter
instead.
_PyWeakref_ClearRef was previously exposed in the public C-API, although
it begins with an underscore and is not documented. It's used by a few
C-API extensions. There is currently no alternative public API that can
replace its use.
_PyWeakref_ClearWeakRefsExceptCallbacks is the only thread-safe way to
use _PyWeakref_ClearRef in the free-threaded build. This exposes the C
symbol, but does not make the API public.
Some embedders and extensions include parts of the internal API. The
pycore_mimalloc.h file is transitively include by a number of other
internal headers. This avoids include errors for code that was
already including those headers.
Use relaxed atomics when reading / writing to the field. There are still a
few places in the GC where we do not use atomics. Those should be safe as
the world is stopped.
Add the ability to enable/disable the GIL at runtime, and use that in
the C module loading code.
We can't know before running a module init function if it supports
free-threading, so the GIL is temporarily enabled before doing so. If
the module declares support for running without the GIL, the GIL is
later disabled. Otherwise, the GIL is permanently enabled, and will
never be disabled again for the life of the current interpreter.
We already intern and immortalize most string constants. In the
free-threaded build, other constants can be a source of reference count
contention because they are shared by all threads running the same code
objects.
Add _PyType_LookupRef and use incref before setting attribute on type
Makes setting an attribute on a class and signaling type modified atomic
Avoid adding re-entrancy exposing the type cache in an inconsistent state by decrefing after type is updated
The designated initializer syntax in static inline functions in pycore_backoff.h
causes problems for C++ or MSVC users who aren't yet using C++20.
While internal, pycore_backoff.h is included (indirectly, via pycore_code.h)
by some key 3rd party software that does so for speed.
Use the new public Raw functions:
* _PyTime_PerfCounterUnchecked() with PyTime_PerfCounterRaw()
* _PyTime_TimeUnchecked() with PyTime_TimeRaw()
* _PyTime_MonotonicUnchecked() with PyTime_MonotonicRaw()
Remove internal functions:
* _PyTime_PerfCounterUnchecked()
* _PyTime_TimeUnchecked()
* _PyTime_MonotonicUnchecked()
We have only been tracking each module's PyModuleDef. However, there are some problems with that. For example, in some cases we load single-phase init extension modules from def->m_base.m_init or def->m_base.m_copy, but if multiple modules share a def then we can end up with unexpected behavior.
With this change, we track the following:
* PyModuleDef (same as before)
* for some modules, its init function or a copy of its __dict__, but specific to that module
* whether it is a builtin/core module or a "dynamic" extension
* the interpreter (ID) that owns the cached __dict__ (only if cached)
This also makes it easier to remember the module's kind (e.g. single-phase init) and if loading it previously failed, which I'm doing separately.
* Add CALL_PY_GENERAL, CALL_BOUND_METHOD_GENERAL and call CALL_NON_PY_GENERAL specializations.
* Remove CALL_PY_WITH_DEFAULTS specialization
* Use CALL_NON_PY_GENERAL in more cases when otherwise failing to specialize
This PR adds the ability to enable the GIL if it was disabled at
interpreter startup, and modifies the multi-phase module initialization
path to enable the GIL when loading a module, unless that module's spec
includes a slot indicating it can run safely without the GIL.
PEP 703 called the constant for the slot `Py_mod_gil_not_used`; I went
with `Py_MOD_GIL_NOT_USED` for consistency with gh-104148.
A warning will be issued up to once per interpreter for the first
GIL-using module that is loaded. If `-v` is given, a shorter message
will be printed to stderr every time a GIL-using module is loaded
(including the first one that issues a warning).
The module itself is a thin wrapper around calls to functions in
`Python/codecs.c`, so that's where the meaningful changes happened:
- Move codecs-related state that lives on `PyInterpreterState` to a
struct declared in `pycore_codecs.h`.
- In free-threaded builds, add a mutex to `codecs_state` to synchronize
operations on `search_path`. Because `search_path_mutex` is used as a
normal mutex and not a critical section, we must be extremely careful
with operations called while holding it.
- The codec registry is explicitly initialized as part of
`_PyUnicode_InitEncodings` to simplify thread-safety.
The code for Tier 2 is now only compiled when configured
with `--enable-experimental-jit[=yes|interpreter]`.
We drop support for `PYTHON_UOPS` and -`Xuops`,
but you can disable the interpreter or JIT
at runtime by setting `PYTHON_JIT=0`.
You can also build it without enabling it by default
using `--enable-experimental-jit=yes-off`;
enable with `PYTHON_JIT=1`.
On Windows, the `build.bat` script supports
`--experimental-jit`, `--experimental-jit-off`,
`--experimental-interpreter`.
In the C code, `_Py_JIT` is defined as before
when the JIT is enabled; the new variable
`_Py_TIER2` is defined when the JIT *or* the
interpreter is enabled. It is actually a bitmask:
1: JIT; 2: default-off; 4: interpreter.
Avoid detaching thread state when stopping the world. When re-attaching
the thread state, the thread would attempt to resume the top-most
critical section, which might now be held by a thread paused for our
stop-the-world request.
Deferred reference counting is not fully implemented yet. As a temporary
measure, we immortalize objects that would use deferred reference
counting to avoid multi-threaded scaling bottlenecks.
This is only performed in the free-threaded build once the first
non-main thread is started. Additionally, some tests, including refleak
tests, suppress this behavior.
Basically, I've turned most of _PyImport_LoadDynamicModuleWithSpec() into two new functions (_PyImport_GetModInitFunc() and _PyImport_RunModInitFunc()) and moved the rest of it out into _imp_create_dynamic_impl(). There shouldn't be any changes in behavior.
This change makes some future changes simpler. This is particularly relevant to potentially calling each module init function in the main interpreter first. Thus the critical part of the PR is the addition of _PyImport_RunModInitFunc(), which is strictly focused on running the init func and validating the result. A later PR will take it a step farther by capturing error information rather than raising exceptions.
FWIW, this change also helps readers by clarifying a bit more about what happens when an extension/builtin module is imported.
This is an improvement over the status quo, reducing the likelihood of completely filling the pending calls queue. However, the problem won't go away completely unless we move to an unbounded linked list or add a mechanism for waiting until the queue isn't full.
These are cleanups I've pulled out of gh-118116. Mostly, this change moves code around to align with some future changes and to improve clarity a little. There is one very small change in behavior: we now add the module to the per-interpreter caches after updating the global state, rather than before.
This is a collection of very basic cleanups I've pulled out of gh-118116. It is mostly renaming variables and moving a couple bits of code in functionally equivalent ways.
