Critical sections are helpers to replace the global interpreter lock
with finer grained locking. They provide similar guarantees to the GIL
and avoid the deadlock risk that plain locking involves. Critical
sections are implicitly ended whenever the GIL would be released. They
are resumed when the GIL would be acquired. Nested critical sections
behave as if the sections were interleaved.
I added _Py_excinfo to the internal API (and added its functions in Python/errors.c) in gh-111530 (9322ce9). Since then I've had a nagging sense that I should have added the type and functions in its own PR. While I do plan on using _Py_excinfo outside crossinterp.c very soon (see gh-111572/gh-111573), I'd still feel more comfortable if the _Py_excinfo stuff went in as its own PR. Hence, here we are.
(FWIW, I may combine that with gh-111572, which I may, in turn, combine with gh-111573. We'll see.)
Joining a thread now ensures the underlying OS thread has exited. This is required for safer fork() in multi-threaded processes.

gh-106168: Update the size only after setting the item, to avoid temporary inconsistencies.
Also remove the "what's new" sentence regarding the size setting since tuples cannot grow after allocation.
This moves several general internal APIs out of _xxsubinterpretersmodule.c and into the new Python/crossinterp.c (and the corresponding internal headers).
Specifically:
* _Py_excinfo, etc.: the initial implementation for non-object exception snapshots (in pycore_pyerrors.h and Python/errors.c)
* _PyXI_exception_info, etc.: helpers for passing an exception beween interpreters (wraps _Py_excinfo)
* _PyXI_namespace, etc.: helpers for copying a dict of attrs between interpreters
* _PyXI_Enter(), _PyXI_Exit(): functions that abstract out the transitions between one interpreter and a second that will do some work temporarily
Again, these were all abstracted out of _xxsubinterpretersmodule.c as generalizations. I plan on proposing these as public API at some point.
This is partly to clear this stuff out of pystate.c, but also in preparation for moving some code out of _xxsubinterpretersmodule.c. This change also moves this stuff to the internal API (new: Include/internal/pycore_crossinterp.h). @vstinner did this previously and I undid it. Now I'm re-doing it. :/
mi_atomic_load_explicit() casts 'p' argument to drop the 'const'
qualifier on Windows arm64 platform. Fix the compiler warning:
'function': different 'const' qualifiers
(compiling source file ..\Objects\mimalloc\options.c)
* Add mimalloc v2.12
Modified src/alloc.c to remove include of alloc-override.c and not
compile new handler.
Did not include the following files:
- include/mimalloc-new-delete.h
- include/mimalloc-override.h
- src/alloc-override-osx.c
- src/alloc-override.c
- src/static.c
- src/region.c
mimalloc is thread safe and shares a single heap across all runtimes,
therefore finalization and getting global allocated blocks across all
runtimes is different.
* mimalloc: minimal changes for use in Python:
- remove debug spam for freeing large allocations
- use same bytes (0xDD) for freed allocations in CPython and mimalloc
This is important for the test_capi debug memory tests
* Don't export mimalloc symbol in libpython.
* Enable mimalloc as Python allocator option.
* Add mimalloc MIT license.
* Log mimalloc in Lib/test/pythoninfo.py.
* Document new mimalloc support.
* Use macro defs for exports as done in:

* gh-106320: Re-add _PyLong_FromByteArray(), _PyLong_AsByteArray() and _PyLong_GCD() to the public header files since they are used by third-party packages and there is no efficient replacement.
See https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/111140
See https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/111139
* gh-111262: Re-add _PyDict_Pop() to have a C-API until a new public one is designed.
Fixes#109894
* set `interp.static_objects.last_resort_memory_error.args` to empty tuple to avoid crash on `PyErr_Display()` call
* allow `_PyExc_InitGlobalObjects()` to be called on subinterpreter init

There were a few things I did in gh-110565 that need to be fixed. I also forgot to add tests in that PR.
(Note that this PR exposes a refleak introduced by gh-110246. I'll take care of that separately.)
Move the following private functions and structures to
pycore_modsupport.h internal C API:
* _PyArg_BadArgument()
* _PyArg_CheckPositional()
* _PyArg_NoKeywords()
* _PyArg_NoPositional()
* _PyArg_ParseStack()
* _PyArg_ParseStackAndKeywords()
* _PyArg_Parser structure
* _PyArg_UnpackKeywords()
* _PyArg_UnpackKeywordsWithVararg()
* _PyArg_UnpackStack()
* _Py_ANY_VARARGS()
Changes:
* Python/getargs.h now includes pycore_modsupport.h to export
functions.
* clinic.py now adds pycore_modsupport.h when one of these functions
is used.
* Add pycore_modsupport.h includes when a C extension uses one of
these functions.
* Define Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE in C extensions which now include
directly or indirectly (via code generated by Argument Clinic)
pycore_modsupport.h:
* _csv
* _curses_panel
* _dbm
* _gdbm
* _multiprocessing.posixshmem
* _sqlite.row
* _statistics
* grp
* resource
* syslog
* _testcapi: bad_get() no longer uses METH_FASTCALL calling
convention but METH_VARARGS. Replace _PyArg_UnpackStack() with
PyArg_ParseTuple().
* _testcapi: add PYTESTCAPI_NEED_INTERNAL_API macro which is defined
by _testcapi sub-modules which need the internal C API
(pycore_modsupport.h): exceptions.c, float.c, vectorcall.c,
watchers.c.
* Remove Include/cpython/modsupport.h header file.
Include/modsupport.h no longer includes the removed header file.
* Fix mypy clinic.py
Add wrapper for timerfd_create, timerfd_settime, and timerfd_gettime to os module.

This adds a new field 'state' to PyThreadState that can take on one of three values: _Py_THREAD_ATTACHED, _Py_THREAD_DETACHED, or _Py_THREAD_GC. The "attached" and "detached" states correspond closely to acquiring and releasing the GIL. The "gc" state is current unused, but will be used to implement stop-the-world GC for --disable-gil builds in the near future.
We do the following:
* add a per-interpreter XID registry (PyInterpreterState.xidregistry)
* put heap types there (keep static types in _PyRuntimeState.xidregistry)
* clear the registries during interpreter/runtime finalization
* avoid duplicate entries in the registry (when _PyCrossInterpreterData_RegisterClass() is called more than once for a type)
* use Py_TYPE() instead of PyObject_Type() in _PyCrossInterpreterData_Lookup()
The per-interpreter registry helps preserve isolation between interpreters. This is important when heap types are registered, which is something we haven't been doing yet but I will likely do soon.
