We're no longer using _Py_IDENTIFIER() (or _Py_static_string()) in any core CPython code. It is still used in a number of non-builtin stdlib modules.
The replacement is: PyUnicodeObject (not pointer) fields under _PyRuntimeState, statically initialized as part of _PyRuntime. A new _Py_GET_GLOBAL_IDENTIFIER() macro facilitates lookup of the fields (along with _Py_GET_GLOBAL_STRING() for non-identifier strings).
https://bugs.python.org/issue46541#msg411799 explains the rationale for this change.
The core of the change is in:
* (new) Include/internal/pycore_global_strings.h - the declarations for the global strings, along with the macros
* Include/internal/pycore_runtime_init.h - added the static initializers for the global strings
* Include/internal/pycore_global_objects.h - where the struct in pycore_global_strings.h is hooked into _PyRuntimeState
* Tools/scripts/generate_global_objects.py - added generation of the global string declarations and static initializers
I've also added a --check flag to generate_global_objects.py (along with make check-global-objects) to check for unused global strings. That check is added to the PR CI config.
The remainder of this change updates the core code to use _Py_GET_GLOBAL_IDENTIFIER() instead of _Py_IDENTIFIER() and the related _Py*Id functions (likewise for _Py_GET_GLOBAL_STRING() instead of _Py_static_string()). This includes adding a few functions where there wasn't already an alternative to _Py*Id(), replacing the _Py_Identifier * parameter with PyObject *.
The following are not changed (yet):
* stop using _Py_IDENTIFIER() in the stdlib modules
* (maybe) get rid of _Py_IDENTIFIER(), etc. entirely -- this may not be doable as at least one package on PyPI using this (private) API
* (maybe) intern the strings during runtime init

The time module now creates its struct_time type as a heap
type using PyStructSequence_NewType(), rather than using a static
type.
* Add a module state to the time module: add traverse, clear and free
functions.
* Use PyModule_AddType().
* Remove the 'initialized' variable.
Rename Include/namespaceobject.h to
Include/internal/pycore_namespace.h.
The _testmultiphase extension is now built with the
Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE macro defined to access _PyNamespace_Type.
object.c: remove unused "pycore_context.h" include.
On Windows, time.sleep() now uses a waitable timer which has a
resolution of 100 ns (10^-7 sec). Previously, it had a solution of 1
ms (10^-3 sec).
* On Windows, time.sleep() now calls PyErr_CheckSignals() before
resetting the SIGINT event.
* Add _PyTime_As100Nanoseconds() function.
* Complete and update time.sleep() documentation.

Refactor pytime.c:
* Add pytime_from_nanoseconds() and pytime_as_nanoseconds(),
and use explicitly these functions
* Add two empty lines between functions
* PEP 7: add braces { ... }
* C99: declare variables where they are set
* Rename private functions to lowercase
* Rename error_time_t_overflow() to pytime_time_t_overflow()
* Rename win_perf_counter_frequency() to py_win_perf_counter_frequency()
* py_get_monotonic_clock(): add an assertion to detect overflow when
mach_absolute_time() unsigned uint64_t is casted to _PyTime_t
(signed int64_t).
_testcapi: use _PyTime_FromNanoseconds().
In Unix operating systems, time.sleep() now uses the clock_nanosleep() function,
if available, which allows to sleep for an interval specified with nanosecond precision.

time.time(), time.perf_counter() and time.monotonic() functions can
no longer fail with a Python fatal error, instead raise a regular
Python exception on failure.
Remove _PyTime_Init(): don't check system, monotonic and perf counter
clocks at startup anymore.
On error, _PyTime_GetSystemClock(), _PyTime_GetMonotonicClock() and
_PyTime_GetPerfCounter() now silently ignore the error and return 0.
They cannot fail with a Python fatal error anymore.
Add py_mach_timebase_info() and win_perf_counter_frequency()
sub-functions.

* Add support for macOS 11 and Apple Silicon (aka arm64)
As a side effect of this work use the system copy of libffi on macOS, and remove the vendored copy
* Support building on recent versions of macOS while deploying to older versions
This allows building installers on macOS 11 while still supporting macOS 10.9.
On AIX, time.thread_time() is now implemented with thread_cputime()
which has nanosecond resolution, rather than
clock_gettime(CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID) which has a resolution of 10 ms.
Calling setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "") on a system where GetACP() returns CP_UTF8 results in empty strings in _tzname[].
This causes time.tzname to be an empty string.
I have reported the bug to the UCRT team and will follow up, but it will take some time get a fix into production.
In the meantime one possible workaround is to temporarily change the locale by calling setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "C") before calling _tzset and restore the current locale after if the GetACP() == CP_UTF8 or CP_UTF7

Fix time.mktime() error handling on AIX for year before 1970.
Other changes:
* mktime(): rename variable 'buf' to 'tm'.
* _PyTime_localtime():
* Use "localtime" rather than "ctime" in the error message
(specific to AIX).
* Always initialize errno to 0 just in case if localtime_r()
doesn't set errno on error.
* On AIX, avoid abs() which is limited to int type.
* EINVAL constant is now always available.
Add Clang Memory Sanitizer build instrumentation to work around
false positives from the socket and time modules as well as skipping
a couple test_faulthandler tests.
* Fix test_mktime on AIX by adding code to get mktime to behave the
same way as it does on other *nix systems
* Fix test_pthread_getcpuclickid in AIX by adjusting the test case
expectations when running on AIX in 32-bit mode
Patch by Michael Felt.
* PyInit_time() now returns NULL if an exception is raised.
* Rename PyInit_timezone() to init_timezone(). "PyInit_" prefix is
a special prefix for function initializing a module.
init_timezone() doesn't initialize a module and the function is not
exported.
get_gmtoff() now returns time_t instead of int to fix the following
Visual Studio warning:
Modules\timemodule.c(1183): warning C4244: 'return':
conversion from 'time_t' to 'int', possible loss of data
Reduce the knotty preprocessor conditional logic, dedent unnecessarily nested
code, and handle errors properly.
The first edition of this change (afde1c1a05)
failed (bpo-34715) because FreeBSD doesn't define the timezone globals. That's
why we're now checking for HAVE_DECL_TZNAME.
Modify locale.localeconv(), time.tzname, os.strerror() and other
functions to ignore the UTF-8 Mode: always use the current locale
encoding.
Changes:
* Add _Py_DecodeLocaleEx() and _Py_EncodeLocaleEx(). On decoding or
encoding error, they return the position of the error and an error
message which are used to raise Unicode errors in
PyUnicode_DecodeLocale() and PyUnicode_EncodeLocale().
* Replace _Py_DecodeCurrentLocale() with _Py_DecodeLocaleEx().
* PyUnicode_DecodeLocale() now uses _Py_DecodeLocaleEx() for all
cases, especially for the strict error handler.
* Add _Py_DecodeUTF8Ex(): return more information on decoding error
and supports the strict error handler.
* Rename _Py_EncodeUTF8_surrogateescape() to _Py_EncodeUTF8Ex().
* Replace _Py_EncodeCurrentLocale() with _Py_EncodeLocaleEx().
* Ignore the UTF-8 mode to encode/decode localeconv(), strerror()
and time zone name.
* Remove PyUnicode_DecodeLocale(), PyUnicode_DecodeLocaleAndSize()
and PyUnicode_EncodeLocale() now ignore the UTF-8 mode: always use
the "current" locale.
* Remove _PyUnicode_DecodeCurrentLocale(),
_PyUnicode_DecodeCurrentLocaleAndSize() and
_PyUnicode_EncodeCurrentLocale().
Add new time functions:
* time.clock_gettime_ns()
* time.clock_settime_ns()
* time.monotonic_ns()
* time.perf_counter_ns()
* time.process_time_ns()
* time.time_ns()
Add new _PyTime functions:
* _PyTime_FromTimespec()
* _PyTime_FromNanosecondsObject()
* _PyTime_FromTimeval()
Other changes:
* Add also os.times() tests to test_os.
* pytime_fromtimeval() and pytime_fromtimeval() now return
_PyTime_MAX or _PyTime_MIN on overflow, rather than undefined
behaviour
* _PyTime_FromNanoseconds() parameter type changes from long long to
_PyTime_t
Fix timeout rounding in time.sleep(), threading.Lock.acquire() and
socket.socket.settimeout() to round correctly negative timeouts between -1.0 and
0.0. The functions now block waiting for events as expected. Previously, the
call was incorrectly non-blocking.
