Fix a race condition in "make regen-all". The deepfreeze.c source and
files generated by Argument Clinic are now generated or updated
before generating "global objects". Previously, some identifiers may
miss depending on the order in which these files were generated.
* "make regen-global-objects": Make sure that deepfreeze.c is
generated and up to date, and always run "make clinic".
* "make clinic" no longer runs generate_global_objects.py script.
* "make regen-deepfreeze" now only updates deepfreeze.c (C file).
It doesn't build deepfreeze.o (object) anymore.
* Remove misleading messages in "make regen-global-objects" and
"make clinic". They are now outdated, these commands are now
safe to use.
* Document generates files in Doc/using/configure.rst.

Statistics gathering is now off by default. Use the "-X pystats"
command line option or set the new PYTHONSTATS environment variable
to 1 to turn statistics gathering on at Python startup.
Statistics are no longer dumped at exit if statistics gathering was
off or statistics have been cleared.
Changes:
* Add PYTHONSTATS environment variable.
* sys._stats_dump() now returns False if statistics are not dumped
because they are all equal to zero.
* Add PyConfig._pystats member.
* Add tests on sys functions and on setting PyConfig._pystats to 1.
* Add Include/cpython/pystats.h and Include/internal/pycore_pystats.h
header files.
* Rename '_py_stats' variable to '_Py_stats'.
* Exclude Include/cpython/pystats.h from the Py_LIMITED_API.
* Move pystats.h include from object.h to Python.h.
* Add _Py_StatsOn() and _Py_StatsOff() functions. Remove
'_py_stats_struct' variable from the API: make it static in
specialize.c.
* Document API in Include/pystats.h and Include/cpython/pystats.h.
* Complete pystats documentation in Doc/using/configure.rst.
* Don't write "all zeros" stats: if _stats_off() and _stats_clear()
or _stats_dump() were called.
* _PyEval_Fini() now always call _Py_PrintSpecializationStats() which
does nothing if stats are all zeros.

Python built with "configure --with-trace-refs" (tracing references)
is now ABI compatible with Python release build and debug build.
Moreover, it now also supports the Limited API.
Change Py_TRACE_REFS build:
* Remove _PyObject_EXTRA_INIT macro.
* The PyObject structure no longer has two extra members (_ob_prev
and _ob_next).
* Use a hash table (_Py_hashtable_t) to trace references (all
objects): PyInterpreterState.object_state.refchain.
* Py_TRACE_REFS build is now ABI compatible with release build and
debug build.
* Limited C API extensions can now be built with Py_TRACE_REFS:
xxlimited, xxlimited_35, _testclinic_limited.
* No longer rename PyModule_Create2() and PyModule_FromDefAndSpec2()
functions to PyModule_Create2TraceRefs() and
PyModule_FromDefAndSpec2TraceRefs().
* _Py_PrintReferenceAddresses() is now called before
finalize_interp_delete() which deletes the refchain hash table.
* test_tracemalloc find_trace() now also filters by size to ignore
the memory allocated by _PyRefchain_Trace().
Test changes for Py_TRACE_REFS:
* Add test.support.Py_TRACE_REFS constant.
* Add test_sys.test_getobjects() to test sys.getobjects() function.
* test_exceptions skips test_recursion_normalizing_with_no_memory()
and test_memory_error_in_PyErr_PrintEx() if Python is built with
Py_TRACE_REFS.
* test_repl skips test_no_memory().
* test_capi skisp test_set_nomemory().
Command Prompt (CMD Shell) and older versions of PowerShell
require double quotes and single quotes inside the string.
This form also works on linux and macOS.
Remove the following old functions to configure the Python
initialization, deprecated in Python 3.11:
* PySys_AddWarnOptionUnicode()
* PySys_AddWarnOption()
* PySys_AddXOption()
* PySys_HasWarnOptions()
* PySys_SetArgvEx()
* PySys_SetArgv()
* PySys_SetPath()
* Py_SetPath()
* Py_SetProgramName()
* Py_SetPythonHome()
* Py_SetStandardStreamEncoding()
* _Py_SetProgramFullPath()
Most of these functions are kept in the stable ABI, except:
* Py_SetStandardStreamEncoding()
* _Py_SetProgramFullPath()
Update Doc/extending/embedding.rst and Doc/extending/extending.rst to
use the new PyConfig API.
_testembed.c:
* check_stdio_details() now sets stdio_encoding and stdio_errors
of PyConfig.
* Add definitions of functions removed from the API but kept in the
stable ABI.
* test_init_from_config() and test_init_read_set() now use
PyConfig_SetString() instead of PyConfig_SetBytesString().
Remove _Py_ClearStandardStreamEncoding() internal function.
Apply BOLT optimizations to libpython for shared builds. Most of the C
code is in libpython so it is critical to apply BOLT there fully realize
BOLT benefits.
This change also reworks how BOLT instrumentation is applied. It
effectively removes the readelf based logic added in gh-101525 and
replaces it with a mechanism that saves a copy of the pre-bolt binary
and restores that copy when necessary. This allows us to perform BOLT
optimizations without having to manually delete the output binary to
force a new bolt run.
Also:
- add a clean-bolt target for purging BOLT files and hook that up to the
clean target
- .gitignore BOLT related files
Before and after this refactor, `make` will no-op after a previous run.
Both versions should also share common make DAG deficiencies where
targets fail to trigger as often as they need to or can trigger
prematurely in certain scenarios. e.g. after this change you may need to
`rm profile-bolt-stamp` to force a BOLT run because there aren't
appropriate non-phony targets for BOLT's make target to depend on.
To make it easier to iterate on custom BOLT settings, the flags to pass
to instrumentation and application are now defined in configure and can
be overridden by passing BOLT_INSTRUMENT_FLAGS and BOLT_APPLY_FLAGS.
The word 'dependent' is both an adjective and a noun. A 'dependant' is a British alternative spelling for the noun form. In idlelib.sidebar, 'OS-dependant' is an adjective and clearly wrong. In 'Using', 'dependant' as a noun would be acceptable in Britain, but we use American spellings in Python docs.

It has had no effect on non-macOS platforms for a long time, and has had
the non-obvious effect of invoking `pkg_config` and not setting
`-DUSING_APPLE_OS_LIBFFI` on macOS since GH-22855.
Add COMPILEALL_OPTS variable in Makefile to override compileall
options (default: -j0) in "make install". Also merge the compileall
commands into a single command building PYC files for the all
optimization levels (0, 1, 2) at once.

This adds support for comparing pystats collected from two different builds.
- The `--json-output` can be used to load in a set of raw stats and output a
JSON file.
- Two of these JSON files can be provided on the next run, and then comparative
results between the two are output.
Integer to and from text conversions via CPython's bignum `int` type is not safe against denial of service attacks due to malicious input. Very large input strings with hundred thousands of digits can consume several CPU seconds.

⚠️⚠️ Note for reviewers, hackers and fellow systems/low-level/compiler engineers ⚠️⚠️
If you have a lot of experience with this kind of shenanigans and want to improve the **first** version, **please make a PR against my branch** or **reach out by email** or **suggest code changes directly on GitHub**.
If you have any **refinements or optimizations** please, wait until the first version is merged before starting hacking or proposing those so we can keep this PR productive.
