This change makes sure all extension/builtin modules have their init function run first by the main interpreter before proceeding with import in the original interpreter (main or otherwise). This means when the import of a single-phase init module fails in an isolated subinterpreter, it won't tie any global state/callbacks to the subinterpreter.
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.
Now, such classes will no longer require changes in Python 3.13 in the normal case.
The test suite for robotframework passes with no DeprecationWarnings under this PR.
I also added a new DeprecationWarning for the case where `_field_types` exists
but is incomplete, since that seems likely to indicate a user mistake.
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
Use _PyDeadline_Init() and _PyDeadline_Get() in
EnterNonRecursiveMutex() of thread_nt.h.
_PyDeadline_Get() uses the monotonic clock which is now the same as
the perf counter clock on all platforms. So this change does not
cause any behavior change. It just reuses existing helper functions.
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 function returns `True` or `False` depending on whether the GIL is
currently enabled. In the default build, it always returns `True`
because the GIL is always enabled.
Most module names are interned and immortalized, but the main
module was not. This partially addresses a scaling bottleneck in the
free-threaded when creating closure concurrently in the main module.
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.
* Target _FOR_ITER_TIER_TWO at POP_TOP following the matching END_FOR
* Modify _GUARD_NOT_EXHAUSTED_RANGE, _GUARD_NOT_EXHAUSTED_LIST and _GUARD_NOT_EXHAUSTED_TUPLE so that they also target the POP_TOP following the matching END_FOR
Add "Raw" variant of PyTime functions:
* PyTime_MonotonicRaw()
* PyTime_PerfCounterRaw()
* PyTime_TimeRaw()
Changes:
* Add documentation and tests. Tests release the GIL while calling
raw clock functions.
* py_get_system_clock() and py_get_monotonic_clock() now check that
the GIL is hold by the caller if raise_exc is non-zero.
* Reimplement "Unchecked" functions with raw clock functions.
