* bpo-36389: _PyObject_CheckConsistency() available in release mode (GH-16612)
bpo-36389, bpo-38376: The _PyObject_CheckConsistency() function is
now also available in release mode. For example, it can be used to
debug a crash in the visit_decref() function of the GC.
Modify the following functions to also work in release mode:
* _PyDict_CheckConsistency()
* _PyObject_CheckConsistency()
* _PyType_CheckConsistency()
* _PyUnicode_CheckConsistency()
Other changes:
* _PyMem_IsPtrFreed(ptr) now also returns 1 if ptr is NULL
(equals to 0).
* _PyBytesWriter_CheckConsistency() now returns 1 and is only used
with assert().
* Reorder _PyObject_Dump() to write safe fields first, and only
attempt to render repr() at the end.
(cherry picked from commit 6876257eaa)
* bpo-36389: Fix _PyBytesWriter in release mode (GH-16624)
Fix _PyBytesWriter API when Python is built in release mode with
assertions.
(cherry picked from commit 60ec6efd96)
* bpo-38070: Enhance visit_decref() debug trace (GH-16631)
subtract_refs() now pass the parent object to visit_decref() which
pass it to _PyObject_ASSERT(). So if the "is freed" assertion fails,
the parent is used in debug trace, rather than the freed object. The
parent object is more likely to contain useful information. Freed
objects cannot be inspected are are displayed as "<object at xxx is
freed>" with no other detail.
(cherry picked from commit 4d5f94b8cd)
* Fix also a typo in PYMEM_DEADBYTE macro comment
* bpo-36389: Add newline to _PyObject_AssertFailed() (GH-16629)
Add a newline between the verbose object dump and the Py_FatalError()
logs for readability.

* [3.8] bpo-38456: Use /bin/true in test_subprocess (GH-16736)
Instead of sys.executable, "-c", "pass" or "import sys; sys.exit(0)"
use /bin/true when it is available. On a reasonable machine this
shaves up to two seconds wall time off the otherwise ~40sec execution
on a --with-pydebug build. It should be more notable on many
buildbots or overloaded slower I/O systems (CI, etc)..

backport of 46113e0cf3 by Pablo Galindo.
The symbol table handing of PEP572's assignment expressions is not resolving correctly the scope of some variables in presence of global/nonlocal keywords in conjunction with comprehensions.

bpo-37531, bpo-38207: On timeout, regrtest no longer attempts to call
`popen.communicate() again: it can hang until all child processes
using stdout and stderr pipes completes. Kill the worker process and

Reenable test_regrtest.test_multiprocessing_timeout().
bpo-37531: Change also the faulthandler timeout of the main process
from 1 minute to 5 minutes, for Python slowest buildbots.

The implementation of weakref.proxy's methods call back into the Python
API using a borrowed references of the weakly referenced object
(acquired via PyWeakref_GET_OBJECT). This API call may delete the last
reference to the object (either directly or via GC), leaving a dangling
pointer, which can be subsequently dereferenced.
To fix this, claim a temporary ownership of the referenced object when
calling the appropriate method. Some functions because at the moment they
do not need to access the borrowed referent, but to protect against
future changes to these functions, ownership need to be fixed in
all potentially affected methods..
