On POSIX systems, excluding macOS framework installs, the lib directory
for the free-threaded build now includes a "t" suffix to avoid conflicts
with a co-located default build installation.
When builtin static types are initialized for a subinterpreter, various "tp" slots have already been inherited (for the main interpreter). This was interfering with the logic in add_operators() (in Objects/typeobject.c), causing a wrapper to get created when it shouldn't. This change fixes that by preserving the original data from the static type struct and checking that.
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.
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().

As noted in gh-117983, the import importlib.util can be triggered at
interpreter startup under some circumstances, so adding threading makes
it a potentially obligatory load.
Lazy loading is not used in the stdlib, so this removes an unnecessary
load for the majority of users and slightly increases the cost of the
first lazily loaded module.
An obligatory threading load breaks gevent, which monkeypatches the
stdlib. Although unsupported, there doesn't seem to be an offsetting
benefit to breaking their use case.
For reference, here are benchmarks for the current main branch:
```
❯ hyperfine -w 8 './python -c "import importlib.util"'
Benchmark 1: ./python -c "import importlib.util"
Time (mean ± σ): 9.7 ms ± 0.7 ms [User: 7.7 ms, System: 1.8 ms]
Range (min … max): 8.4 ms … 13.1 ms 313 runs
```
And with this patch:
```
❯ hyperfine -w 8 './python -c "import importlib.util"'
Benchmark 1: ./python -c "import importlib.util"
Time (mean ± σ): 8.4 ms ± 0.7 ms [User: 6.8 ms, System: 1.4 ms]
Range (min … max): 7.2 ms … 11.7 ms 352 runs
```
Compare to:
```
❯ hyperfine -w 8 './python -c pass'
Benchmark 1: ./python -c pass
Time (mean ± σ): 7.6 ms ± 0.6 ms [User: 5.9 ms, System: 1.6 ms]
Range (min … max): 6.7 ms … 11.3 ms 390 runs
```
This roughly halves the import time of importlib.util.
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.

When creating the JUnit XML file, regrtest now escapes characters
which are invalid in XML, such as the chr(27) control character used
in ANSI escape sequences.
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.
asyncio earlier relied on subprocess module to send signals to the process, this has some drawbacks one being that subprocess module unnecessarily calls waitpid on child processes and hence it races with asyncio implementation which internally uses child watchers. To mitigate this, now asyncio sends signals directly to the process without going through the subprocess on non windows systems. On Windows it fallbacks to subprocess module handling but on windows there are no child watchers so this issue doesn't exists altogether.
In some cases, previously computed as (nan+nanj), we could
recover meaningful component values in the result, see
e.g. the C11, Annex G.5.2, routine _Cdivd().
* parse_intermixed_args() now raises ArgumentError instead of calling
error() if exit_on_error is false.
* Internal code now always raises ArgumentError instead of calling
error(). It is then caught at the higher level and error() is called if
exit_on_error is true.
The check for whether the log file is a real file is expensive on NFS
filesystems. This commit reorders the rollover condition checking to
not do the file type check if the expected file size is less than the
rotation threshold.
