This change adds an `eval_breaker` field to `PyThreadState`. The primary
motivation is for performance in free-threaded builds: with thread-local eval
breakers, we can stop a specific thread (e.g., for an async exception) without
interrupting other threads.
The source of truth for the global instrumentation version is stored in the
`instrumentation_version` field in PyInterpreterState. Threads usually read the
version from their local `eval_breaker`, where it continues to be colocated
with the eval breaker bits.
This makes the Tier 2 interpreter a little faster.
I calculated by about 3%,
though I hesitate to claim an exact number.
This starts by doubling the trace size limit (to 512),
making it more likely that loops fit in a trace.
The rest of the approach is to only load
`oparg` and `operand` in cases that use them.
The code generator know when these are used.
For `oparg`, it will conditionally emit
```
oparg = CURRENT_OPARG();
```
at the top of the case block.
(The `oparg` variable may be referenced multiple times
by the instructions code block, so it must be in a variable.)
For `operand`, it will use `CURRENT_OPERAND()` directly
instead of referencing the `operand` variable,
which no longer exists.
(There is only one place where this will be used.)
This uses the new mechanism whereby certain uops
are replaced by others during translation,
using the `_PyUop_Replacements` table.
We further special-case the `_FOR_ITER_TIER_TWO` uop
to update the deoptimization target to point
just past the corresponding `END_FOR` opcode.
Two tiny code cleanups are also part of this PR.
- There is no longer a separate Python/executor.c file.
- Conventions in Python/bytecodes.c are slightly different -- don't use `goto error`,
you must use `GOTO_ERROR(error)` (same for others like `unused_local_error`).
- The `TIER_ONE` and `TIER_TWO` symbols are only valid in the generated (.c.h) files.
- In Lib/test/support/__init__.py, `Py_C_RECURSION_LIMIT` is imported from `_testcapi`.
- On Windows, in debug mode, stack allocation grows from 8MiB to 12MiB.
- **Beware!** This changes the env vars to enable uops and their debugging
to `PYTHON_UOPS` and `PYTHON_LLTRACE`.
In Python/bytecodes.c, you now write
```
DEOPT_IF(condition);
```
The code generator expands this to
```
DEOPT_IF(condition, opcode);
```
where `opcode` is the name of the unspecialized instruction.
This works inside macro expansions too.
**CAVEAT:** The entire `DEOPT_IF(condition)` statement must be on a single line.
If it isn't, the substitution will fail; an error will be printed by the code generator
and the C compiler will report some errors.
These are the most popular specializations of `LOAD_ATTR` and `STORE_ATTR`
that weren't already viable uops:
* Split LOAD_ATTR_METHOD_WITH_VALUES
* Split LOAD_ATTR_METHOD_NO_DICT
* Split LOAD_ATTR_SLOT
* Split STORE_ATTR_SLOT
* Split STORE_ATTR_INSTANCE_VALUE
Also:
* Add `-v` flag to code generator which prints a list of non-viable uops
(easter-egg: it can print execution counts -- see source)
* Double _Py_UOP_MAX_TRACE_LENGTH to 128
I had dropped one of the DEOPT_IF() calls! :-(
* Rename SAVE_IP to _SET_IP
* Rename EXIT_TRACE to _EXIT_TRACE
* Rename SAVE_CURRENT_IP to _SAVE_CURRENT_IP
* Rename INSERT to _INSERT (This is for Ken Jin's abstract interpreter)
* Rename IS_NONE to _IS_NONE
* Rename JUMP_TO_TOP to _JUMP_TO_TOP
Instead of using `GO_TO_INSTRUCTION(CALL_PY_EXACT_ARGS)` we just add the macro elements of the latter to the macro for the former. This requires lengthening the uops array in struct opcode_macro_expansion. (It also required changes to stacking.py that were merged already.)
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.
* Split `CALL_PY_EXACT_ARGS` into uops
This is only the first step for doing `CALL` in Tier 2.
The next step involves tracing into the called code object and back.
After that we'll have to do the remaining `CALL` specialization.
Finally we'll have to deal with `KW_NAMES`.
Note: this moves setting `frame->return_offset` directly in front of
`DISPATCH_INLINED()`, to make it easier to move it into `_PUSH_FRAME`.
Introducing a new file, stacking.py, that takes over several responsibilities related to symbolic evaluation of push/pop operations, with more generality.
There's no need to use a dummy uop to skip unused cache entries. The macro syntax lets you write `unused/1` instead.
Similarly, move `unused/5` from op `_LOAD_ATTR_INSTANCE_VALUE` to macro `LOAD_ATTR_INSTANCE_VALUE`.
By turning `assert(kwnames == NULL)` into a macro that is not in the "forbidden" list, many instructions that formerly were skipped because they contained such an assert (but no other mention of `kwnames`) are now supported in Tier 2. This covers 10 instructions in total (all specializations of `CALL` that invoke some C code):
- `CALL_NO_KW_TYPE_1`
- `CALL_NO_KW_STR_1`
- `CALL_NO_KW_TUPLE_1`
- `CALL_NO_KW_BUILTIN_O`
- `CALL_NO_KW_BUILTIN_FAST`
- `CALL_NO_KW_LEN`
- `CALL_NO_KW_ISINSTANCE`
- `CALL_NO_KW_METHOD_DESCRIPTOR_O`
- `CALL_NO_KW_METHOD_DESCRIPTOR_NOARGS`
- `CALL_NO_KW_METHOD_DESCRIPTOR_FAST`
The Tier 2 opcode _IS_ITER_EXHAUSTED_LIST (and _TUPLE)
didn't set it->it_seq to NULL, causing a subtle bug
that resulted in test_exhausted_iterator in list_tests.py
to fail when running all tests with -Xuops.
The bug was introduced in gh-106696.
Added this as an explicit test.
Also fixed the dependencies for ceval.o -- it depends on executor_cases.c.h.
This moves EXIT_TRACE, SAVE_IP, JUMP_TO_TOP, and
_POP_JUMP_IF_{FALSE,TRUE} from ceval.c to bytecodes.c.
They are no less special than before, but this way
they are discoverable o the copy-and-patch tooling.
