Victor Stinner c39211f51e Issue #9630: Redecode filenames when setting the filesystem encoding
Redecode the filenames of:

 - all modules: __file__ and __path__ attributes
 - all code objects: co_filename attribute
 - sys.path
 - sys.meta_path
 - sys.executable
 - sys.path_importer_cache (keys)

Keep weak references to all code objects until initfsencoding() is called, to
be able to redecode co_filename attribute of all code objects.

Amaury Forgeot d'Arc ba117ef7e9 #4617: Previously it was illegal to delete a name from the local
namespace if it occurs as a free variable in a nested block.  This limitation
of the compiler has been lifted, and a new opcode introduced (DELETE_DEREF).

This sample was valid in 2.6, but fails to compile in 3.x without this change::

   >>> def f():
   ...     def print_error():
   ...        print(e)
   ...     try:
   ...        something
   ...     except Exception as e:
   ...        print_error()
   ...        # implicit "del e" here


This sample has always been invalid in Python, and now works::

   >>> def outer(x):
   ...     def inner():
   ...        return x
   ...     inner()
   ...     del x

There is no need to bump the PYC magic number: the new opcode is used
for code that did not compile before.

Victor Stinner 47fcb5b4c3 Issue #9542: Create PyUnicode_FSDecoder() function
It's a ParseTuple converter: decode bytes objects to unicode using
PyUnicode_DecodeFSDefaultAndSize(); str objects are output as-is.

 * Don't specify surrogateescape error handler in the comments nor the
   documentation, but PyUnicode_DecodeFSDefaultAndSize() and
   PyUnicode_EncodeFSDefault() because these functions use strict error handler
   for the mbcs encoding (on Windows).
 * Remove PyUnicode_FSConverter() comment in unicodeobject.c to avoid
   inconsistency with unicodeobject.h.

  Issue #9036: Throughout the code base, Py_CHARMASK is used on 8-bit wide
  signed/unsigned chars or on integers directly derived from those. In all
  cases, it could be replaced by a simple cast to (unsigned char). Reasons
  for the change:

    a) Make the comment more explicit.

    b) If char is unsigned, the cast is optimized away.

    c) If char is unsigned, gcc emits spurious "array subscript
       has type 'char'" warnings.

Jeffrey Yasskin 39370830a9 Make (most of) Python's tests pass under Thread Sanitizer.
http://code.google.com/p/data-race-test/wiki/ThreadSanitizer is a dynamic data
race detector that runs on top of valgrind. With this patch, the binaries at
http://code.google.com/p/data-race-test/wiki/ThreadSanitizer#Binaries pass many
but not all of the Python tests. All of regrtest still passes outside of tsan.

I've implemented part of the C1x atomic types so that we can explicitly mark
variables that are used across threads, and get defined behavior as compilers
advance.

I've added tsan's client header and implementation to the codebase in
dynamic_annotations.{h,c} (docs at
http://code.google.com/p/data-race-test/wiki/DynamicAnnotations).
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get helgrind and drd to give sensible
error messages, even when I use their client annotations, so I'm not supporting
them.

    Issue #7561: Operations on empty bytearrays (such as `int(bytearray())`)
    could crash in many places because of the PyByteArray_AS_STRING() macro
    returning NULL.  The macro now returns a statically allocated empty
    string instead.

  Refactor some longobject internals:  PyLong_AsDouble and _PyLong_AsScaledDouble
  (the latter renamed to _PyLong_Frexp) now use the same core code.  The
  exponent produced by _PyLong_Frexp now has type Py_ssize_t instead of the
  previously used int, and no longer needs scaling by PyLong_SHIFT.  This
  frees the math module from having to know anything about the PyLong
  implementation.  This closes issue #5576.

  Replace the size check for PyMem_MALLOC and PyMem_REALLOC with an almost
  equivalent[*] check that doesn't produce compiler warnings about a 'x < 0'
  check on an unsigned type.

  [*] it's equivalent for inputs of type size_t or Py_ssize_t, or any smaller
  unsigned or signed integer type.

  Fix for issue #7416: SIZEOF_UINTPTR_T can be invalid when configuring a
  multi-architecture build (in particular when the architectures don't share
  a common pointer size).

  Fixed the same issue for SIZEOF_PTHREAD_T.

    Fix issue #1590864, multiple threads and fork() can cause deadlocks, by
    acquiring the import lock around fork() calls. This prevents other threads
    from having that lock while the fork happens, and is the recommended way of
    dealing with such issues. There are two other locks we care about, the GIL
    and the Thread Local Storage lock. The GIL is obviously held when calling
    Python functions like os.fork(), and the TLS lock is explicitly reallocated
    instead, while also deleting now-orphaned TLS data.

    This only fixes calls to os.fork(), not extension modules or embedding
    programs calling C's fork() directly. Solving that requires a new set of API
    functions, and possibly a rewrite of the Python/thread_*.c mess. Add a
    warning explaining the problem to the documentation in the mean time.

    This also changes behaviour a little on AIX. Before, AIX (but only AIX) was
    getting the import lock reallocated, seemingly to avoid this very same
    problem. This is not the right approach, because the import lock is a
    re-entrant one, and reallocating would do the wrong thing when forking while
    holding the import lock.

    Will backport to 2.6, minus the tiny AIX behaviour change.
