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.
bpo-31803: time.clock() and time.get_clock_info('clock') now emit a
DeprecationWarning warning.
Replace time.clock() with time.perf_counter() in tests and demos.
Remove also hasattr(time, 'monotonic') in test_time since time.monotonic()
is now always available since Python 3.5.
* Rewrite win_perf_counter() to only use integers internally.
* Add _PyTime_MulDiv() which compute "ticks * mul / div"
in two parts (int part and remaining) to prevent integer overflow.
* Clock frequency is checked at initialization for integer overflow.
* Enhance also pymonotonic() to reduce the precision loss on macOS
(mach_absolute_time() clock).
time.clock() and time.perf_counter() now use again C double
internally.
Remove also _PyTime_GetWinPerfCounterWithInfo(): use
_PyTime_GetPerfCounterDoubleWithInfo() instead on Windows.
* Separated functions and constants descriptions in sections.
* Added a note about the limitations of timezone constants.
* Removed redundant lists from the module docstring.
bpo-28769 changed PyUnicode_AsUTF8() return type from const char* to
char* in Python 3.7, but tm_zone field type of the tm structure is
char* on FreeBSD.
Cast PyUnicode_AsUTF8() to char* in gettmarg() to fix the warning:
Modules/timemodule.c:443:20: warning: assigning to 'char *'
from 'const char *' discards qualifiers
timegm() return type is time_t, not int. Use time_t to prevent the
following compiler warning on Windows:
timemodule.c: warning C4244: '=': conversion from 'time_t' to 'int',
possible loss of data
Only define the get_zone() and get_gmtoff() private functions in the
time module if these functions are needed to initialize the module.
The change fixes the following warnings on AIX:
Modules/timemodule.c:1175:1: warning: 'get_gmtoff' defined but not used [-Wunused-function]
Modules/timemodule.c:1164:1: warning: 'get_zone' defined but not used [-Wunused-function]
Issue #28915: Use PyObject_Call() to pass a tuple of positional arguments,
instead of relying on _PyObject_CallMethodId() weird behaviour to unpack the
tuple.
