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_item() compatible with ssizeargfunc
* Make memory_subscript() compatible with binaryfunc
* Make memory_length() compatible with lenfunc
* Make memory_ass_sub() compatible with objobjargproc
* 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:

* 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.

It creates a modified copy of an object by calling the object's
__replace__() method.
It is a generalization of dataclasses.replace(), named tuple's _replace()
method and replace() methods in various classes, and supports all these
stdlib classes.
Remove <ctype.h> in C files which don't use it; only sre.c and
_decimal.c still use it.
Remove _PY_PORT_CTYPE_UTF8_ISSUE code from pyport.h:
* Code added by commit b5047fd019
in 2004 for MacOSX and FreeBSD.
* Test removed by commit 52ddaefb6b
in 2007, since Python str type now uses locale independent
functions like Py_ISALPHA() and Py_TOLOWER() and the Unicode
database.
Modules/_sre/sre.c replaces _PY_PORT_CTYPE_UTF8_ISSUE with new
functions: sre_isalnum(), sre_tolower(), sre_toupper().
Remove unused includes:
* _localemodule.c: remove <stdio.h>.
* getargs.c: remove <float.h>.
* dynload_win.c: remove <direct.h>, it no longer calls _getcwd()
since commit fb1f68ed7c (in 2001).
Replace <ctype.h> locale dependent functions with Python "pyctype.h"
locale independent functions:
* Replace isalpha() with Py_ISALPHA().
* Replace isdigit() with Py_ISDIGIT().
* Replace isxdigit() with Py_ISXDIGIT().
* Replace tolower() with Py_TOLOWER().
Leave Modules/_sre/sre.c unchanged, it uses locale dependent
functions on purpose.
Include explicitly <ctype.h> in _decimal.c to get isascii().
pycore_create_interpreter() now returns a status, rather than
calling Py_FatalError().
* PyInterpreterState_New() now calls Py_ExitStatusException() instead
of calling Py_FatalError() directly.
* Replace Py_FatalError() with PyStatus in init_interpreter() and
_PyObject_InitState().
* _PyErr_SetFromPyStatus() now raises RuntimeError, instead of
ValueError. It can now call PyErr_NoMemory(), raise MemoryError,
if it detects _PyStatus_NO_MEMORY() error message.
Argument Clinic now only includes pycore_gc.h if PyGC_Head is needed,
and only includes pycore_runtime.h if _Py_ID() is needed.
* Add 'condition' optional argument to Clinic.add_include().
* deprecate_keyword_use() includes pycore_runtime.h when using
the _PyID() function.
* Fix rendering of includes: comments start at the column 35.
* Mark PC/clinic/_wmimodule.cpp.h and
"Objects/stringlib/clinic/*.h.h" header files as generated in
.gitattributes.
Effects:
* 42 header files generated by AC no longer include the internal C
API, instead of 4 header files before. For example,
Modules/clinic/_abc.c.h no longer includes the internal C API.
* Fix _testclinic_depr.c.h: it now always includes pycore_runtime.h
to get _Py_ID().
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().
Remove _PyErr_ChainExceptions(), _PyErr_ChainExceptions1() and
_PyErr_SetFromPyStatus() functions from the public C API.
* Move the private _PyErr_ChainExceptions() and
_PyErr_ChainExceptions1() function to the internal C API
(pycore_pyerrors.h).
* Move the private _PyErr_SetFromPyStatus() to the internal C API
(pycore_initconfig.h).
* No longer export the _PyErr_ChainExceptions() function.
* Move run_in_subinterp_with_config() from _testcapi to
_testinternalcapi.
Functions like PyErr_SetFromErrno() and SetFromWindowsErr() should be
called immediately after using the C API which sets errno or the Windows
error code.
Move these private functions to the internal C API
(pycore_abstract.h):
* _Py_convert_optional_to_ssize_t()
* _PyNumber_Index()
Argument Clinic now emits #include "pycore_abstract.h" when these
functions are used.
The parser of the c-analyzer tool now uses a list of files which use
the limited C API, rather than a list of files using the internal C
API.
Move private _PyEval functions to the internal C API
(pycore_ceval.h):
* _PyEval_GetBuiltin()
* _PyEval_GetBuiltinId()
* _PyEval_GetSwitchInterval()
* _PyEval_MakePendingCalls()
* _PyEval_SetProfile()
* _PyEval_SetSwitchInterval()
* _PyEval_SetTrace()
No longer export most of these functions.
Remove the internal _PyDict_GetItemStringWithError() function. It can
now be replaced with the new public PyDict_ContainsString() and
PyDict_GetItemStringRef() functions.
getargs.c now now uses a strong reference for current_arg.
find_keyword() returns a strong reference.
The _socket extension uses _PyCapsule_SetTraverse() to visit and clear
the socket type in the garbage collector. So the _socket.socket type
can be cleared in some corner cases when it wasn't possible before.
Replace PyDict_GetItemWithError() with PyDict_GetItemRef() which
returns a strong reference.
Cleanup also the function: move variable definition to their first
assignation, rename variable names to use name longer than 1
character.
Replace _PyDict_GetItemStringWithError() calls with
PyDict_GetItemStringRef() which returns a strong reference to the
item.

* Move private _PyDict_GetItemStringWithError() to the internal C API.
* _testcapi get_code_extra_index() uses PyDict_GetItemStringRef().
Avoid using private functions in _testcapi which tests the public C
API.
This finishes the work begun in gh-107760. When, while projecting a superblock, we encounter a call to a short, simple function, the superblock will now enter the function using `_PUSH_FRAME`, continue through it, and leave it using `_POP_FRAME`, and then continue through the original code. Multiple frame pushes and pops are even possible. It is also possible to stop appending to the superblock in the middle of a called function, when running out of space or encountering an unsupported bytecode.
The linked list of objects was a global variable, which broke isolation between interpreters, causing crashes. To solve this, we've moved the linked list to each interpreter.
It was possible for the trashcan to delay the deallocation of a
PyFrameObject until after its corresponding _PyInterpreterFrame has
already been freed. So frame_dealloc needs to avoid dereferencing the
f_frame pointer unless it first checks that the pointer still points
to the interpreter frame within the frame object.

The _xxsubinterpreters module should not rely on internal API. Some of the functions it uses were recently moved there however. Here we move them back (and expose them properly).
We tried this before with a dict and for all interned strings. That ran into problems due to interpreter isolation. However, exclusively using a per-interpreter cache caused some inconsistency that can eliminate the benefit of interning. Here we circle back to using a global cache, but only for statically allocated strings. We also use a more-basic _Py_hashtable_t for that global cache instead of a dict.
Ideally we would only have the global cache, but the optional isolation of each interpreter's allocator means that a non-static string object must not outlive its interpreter. Thus we would have to store a copy of each such interned string in the global cache, tied to the main interpreter.
Move private _PyDict functions to the internal C API (pycore_dict.h):
* _PyDict_Contains_KnownHash()
* _PyDict_DebugMallocStats()
* _PyDict_DelItemIf()
* _PyDict_GetItemWithError()
* _PyDict_HasOnlyStringKeys()
* _PyDict_MaybeUntrack()
* _PyDict_MergeEx()
No longer export these functions.
Move private debug _PyObject functions to the internal C API
(pycore_object.h):
* _PyDebugAllocatorStats()
* _PyObject_CheckConsistency()
* _PyObject_DebugTypeStats()
* _PyObject_IsFreed()
No longer export most of these functions, except of
_PyObject_IsFreed().
Move test functions using _PyObject_IsFreed() from _testcapi to
_testinternalcapi. check_pyobject_is_freed() test no longer catch
_testcapi.error: the tested function cannot raise _testcapi.error.
Move the private _PyInterpreterID C API to the internal C API: add a
new pycore_interp_id.h header file.
Remove Include/interpreteridobject.h and
Include/cpython/interpreteridobject.h header files.
* Add PyDict_GetItemRef() and PyDict_GetItemStringRef() functions.
Add these functions to the stable ABI version 3.13.
* Add unit tests on the PyDict C API in test_capi.
There was a slight race in _Py_ClearFileSystemEncoding() (when called from _Py_SetFileSystemEncoding()), between freeing the value and setting the variable to NULL, which occasionally caused crashes when multiple isolated interpreters were used. (Notably, I saw at least 10 different, seemingly unrelated spooky-action-at-a-distance, ways this crashed. Yay, free threading!) We avoid the problem by only setting the global variables with the main interpreter (i.e. runtime init).
A static (process-global) str object must only have its "interned" state cleared when no longer interned in any interpreters. They are the only ones that can be shared by interpreters so we don't have to worry about any other str objects.
We trigger clearing the state with the main interpreter, since no other interpreters may exist at that point and _PyUnicode_ClearInterned() is only called during interpreter finalization.
We do not address here the fact that a string will only be interned in the first interpreter that interns it. In any subsequent interpreters str.state.interned is already set so _PyUnicode_InternInPlace() will skip it. That needs to be addressed separately from fixing the crasher.
