lseek() always returns 0 for character pseudo-devices like
`/dev/urandom` (for other non-regular files, e.g. `/dev/stdin`, it
always returns -1, to which CPython reacts by raising appropriate
exceptions). They are thus technically seekable despite not having seek
semantics.
When calling read() on e.g. an instance of `io.BufferedReader` that
wraps such a file, `BufferedReader` reads ahead, filling its buffer,
creating a discrepancy between the number of bytes read and the internal
`tell()` always returning 0, which previously resulted in e.g.
`BufferedReader.tell()` or `BufferedReader.seek()` being able to return
positions < 0 even though these are supposed to be always >= 0.
Invariably keep the return value non-negative by returning
max(former_return_value, 0) instead, and add some corresponding tests.
This adds a safe memory reclamation scheme based on FreeBSD's "GUS" and
quiescent state based reclamation (QSBR). The API provides a mechanism
for callers to detect when it is safe to free memory that may be
concurrently accessed by readers.
The ID of the owning thread (`rlock_owner`) may be accessed by
multiple threads without holding the underlying lock; relaxed
atomics are used in place of the previous loads/stores.
The number of times that the lock has been acquired (`rlock_count`)
is only ever accessed by the thread that holds the lock; we do not
need to use atomics to access it.
The GC keeps track of the number of allocations (less deallocations)
since the last GC. This buffers the count in thread-local state and uses
atomic operations to modify the per-interpreter count. The thread-local
buffering avoids contention on shared state.
A consequence is that the GC scheduling is not as precise, so
"test_sneaky_frame_object" is skipped because it requires that the GC be
run exactly after allocating a frame object.
* gh-114572: Fix locking in cert_store_stats and get_ca_certs
cert_store_stats and get_ca_certs query the SSLContext's X509_STORE with
X509_STORE_get0_objects, but reading the result requires a lock. See
https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/23224 for details.
Instead, use X509_STORE_get1_objects, newly added in that PR.
X509_STORE_get1_objects does not exist in current OpenSSLs, but we can
polyfill it with X509_STORE_lock and X509_STORE_unlock.
* Work around const-correctness problem
* Add missing X509_STORE_get1_objects failure check
* Add blurb
Makes _PyType_Lookup thread safe, including:
Thread safety of the underlying cache.
Make mutation of mro and type members thread safe
Also _PyType_GetMRO and _PyType_GetBases are currently returning borrowed references which aren't safe.
This adds `Py_XBEGIN_CRITICAL_SECTION` and
`Py_XEND_CRITICAL_SECTION`, which accept a possibly NULL object as an
argument. If the argument is NULL, then nothing is locked or unlocked.
Otherwise, they behave like `Py_BEGIN/END_CRITICAL_SECTION`.
Use critical sections to make deque methods that operate on mutable
state thread-safe when the GIL is disabled. This is mostly accomplished
by using the @critical_section Argument Clinic directive, though there
are a few places where this was not possible and critical sections had
to be manually acquired/released.
Add PythonFinalizationError exception. This exception derived from
RuntimeError is raised when an operation is blocked during the Python
finalization.
The following functions now raise PythonFinalizationError, instead of
RuntimeError:
* _thread.start_new_thread()
* subprocess.Popen
* os.fork()
* os.fork1()
* os.forkpty()
Morever, _winapi.Overlapped finalizer now logs an unraisable
PythonFinalizationError, instead of an unraisable RuntimeError.
For the most part, these changes make is substantially easier to backport subinterpreter-related code to 3.12, especially the related modules (e.g. _xxsubinterpreters). The main motivation is to support releasing a PyPI package with the 3.13 capabilities compiled for 3.12.
A lot of the changes here involve either hiding details behind macros/functions or splitting up some files.
We add _winapi.BatchedWaitForMultipleObjects to wait for larger numbers of handles.
This is an internal module, hence undocumented, and should be used with caution.
Check the docstring for info before using BatchedWaitForMultipleObjects.
When replace() method is called on a subclass of datetime, date or time,
properly call derived constructor. Previously, only the base class's
constructor was called.
Also, make sure to pass non-zero fold values when creating subclasses in
various methods. Previously, fold was silently ignored.
Immediate merits:
* eliminate complex workarounds for 'z' format support
(NOTE: mpdecimal recently added 'z' support, so this becomes
efficient in the long term.)
* fix 'z' format memory leak
* fix 'z' format applied to 'F'
* fix missing '#' format support

Now the special comparison methods like `__eq__` and `__lt__` return
NotImplemented if one of comparands is date and other is datetime
instead of ignoring the time part and the time zone or forcefully
return "not equal" or raise TypeError.
It makes comparison of date and datetime subclasses more symmetric
and allows to change the default behavior by overriding
the special comparison methods in subclasses.
It is now the same as if date and datetime was independent classes.
On macOS the statvfs interface returns block counts as
32-bit integers, and that results in bad reporting for
larger disks.
Therefore reimplement statvfs in terms of statfs, which
does use 64-bit integers for block counts.
Tested using a sparse filesystem image of 100TB.
Biased reference counting maintains two refcount fields in each object:
`ob_ref_local` and `ob_ref_shared`. The true refcount is the sum of these two
fields. In some cases, when refcounting operations are split across threads,
the ob_ref_shared field can be negative (although the total refcount must be
at least zero). In this case, the thread that decremented the refcount
requests that the owning thread give up ownership and merge the refcount
fields.
This changes a number of internal usages of `PyDict_SetDefault` to use `PyDict_SetDefaultRef`.

Starts adding thread safety to dict objects.
Use @critical_section for APIs which are exposed via argument clinic and don't directly correlate with a public C API which needs to acquire the lock
Use a _lock_held suffix for keeping changes to complicated functions simple and just wrapping them with a critical section
Acquire and release the lock in an existing function where it won't be overly disruptive to the existing logic
This marks dead ThreadHandles as non-joinable earlier in
`PyOS_AfterFork_Child()` before we execute any Python code. The handles
are stored in a global linked list in `_PyRuntimeState` because `fork()`
affects the entire process.
We do not want to add locking in `tp_traverse` slot implementations.
Instead, stop the world when calling `gc.get_referents`. Note that the the
stop the world call is a no-op in the default build.

The `PyDict_SetDefaultRef` function is similar to `PyDict_SetDefault`,
but returns a strong reference through the optional `**result` pointer
instead of a borrowed reference.

Add optional 'filter' parameter to iterdump() that allows a "LIKE"
pattern for filtering database objects to dump.

The new `PyList_GetItemRef` is similar to `PyList_GetItem`, but returns
a strong reference instead of a borrowed reference. Additionally, if the
passed "list" object is not a list, the function sets a `TypeError`
instead of calling `PyErr_BadInternalCall()`.
* gh-112529: Remove PyGC_Head from object pre-header in free-threaded build
This avoids allocating space for PyGC_Head in the free-threaded build.
The GC implementation for free-threaded CPython does not use the
PyGC_Head structure.
* The trashcan mechanism uses the `ob_tid` field instead of `_gc_prev`
in the free-threaded build.
* The GDB libpython.py file now determines the offset of the managed
dict field based on whether the running process is a free-threaded
build. Those are identified by the `ob_ref_local` field in PyObject.
* Fixes `_PySys_GetSizeOf()` which incorrectly incorrectly included the
size of `PyGC_Head` in the size of static `PyTypeObject`.
PyObject_GetBuffer() now raises a SystemError if called with
PyBUF_READ or PyBUF_WRITE as flags. These flags should
only be used with the PyMemoryView_* C API.
