* Replace PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords() with _PyArg_ParseStackAndKeywords()
which is more efficient to parse keywords, since it decodes only keywords
(char*) from UTF-8 once, instead of decoding at each call.
* METH_FASTCALL avoids the creation of a temporary tuple to pass positional
arguments.
Patch written by INADA Naoki, pushed by Victor Stinner.
Issue #29286. Run Argument Clinic to get the new faster METH_FASTCALL calling
convention for functions using "boring" positional arguments.
Manually fix _elementtree: _elementtree_XMLParser_doctype() must remain
consistent with the clinic code.
Issue #29227: Inline call_function() into _PyEval_EvalFrameDefault() using
Py_LOCAL_INLINE to reduce the stack consumption.
It reduces the stack consumption, bytes per call, before => after:
test_python_call: 1152 => 1040 (-112 B)
test_python_getitem: 1008 => 976 (-32 B)
test_python_iterator: 1232 => 1120 (-112 B)
=> total: 3392 => 3136 (- 256 B)
Copy and then adapt Python/random.c from default branch. Difference between 3.5
and default branches:
* Python 3.5 only uses getrandom() in non-blocking mode: flags=GRND_NONBLOCK
* If getrandom() fails with EAGAIN: py_getrandom() immediately fails and
remembers that getrandom() doesn't work.
* Python 3.5 has no _PyOS_URandomNonblock() function: _PyOS_URandom()
works in non-blocking mode on Python 3.5
* dev_urandom() now calls py_getentropy(). Prepare the fallback to support
getentropy() failure and falls back on reading from /dev/urandom.
* Simplify dev_urandom(). pyurandom() is now responsible to call getentropy()
or getrandom(). Enhance also dev_urandom() and pyurandom() documentation.
* getrandom() is now preferred over getentropy(). The glibc 2.24 now implements
getentropy() on Linux using the getrandom() syscall. But getentropy()
doesn't support non-blocking mode. Since getrandom() is tried first, it's not
more needed to explicitly exclude getentropy() on Solaris. Replace:
"if defined(HAVE_GETENTROPY) && !defined(sun)"
with "if defined(HAVE_GETENTROPY)"
* Enhance py_getrandom() documentation. py_getentropy() now supports ENOSYS,
EPERM & EINTR
