Replace code that directly accesses PyASCIIObject.hash with
PyUnstable_Unicode_GET_CACHED_HASH().
Remove redundant "assert(PyUnicode_Check(op))" from
PyUnstable_Unicode_GET_CACHED_HASH(), _PyASCIIObject_CAST() already
implements the check.
The previous `Py_REFCNT(x) == 1` checks can have data races in the free
threaded build. `_PyObject_IsUniquelyReferenced(x)` is a more conservative
check that is safe in the free threaded build and is identical to
`Py_REFCNT(x) == 1` in the default GIL-enabled build.
The free threading build uses QSBR to delay the freeing of dictionary
keys and list arrays when the objects are accessed by multiple threads
in order to allow concurrent reads to proceed with holding the object
lock. The requests are processed in batches to reduce execution
overhead, but for large memory blocks this can lead to excess memory
usage.
Take into account the size of the memory block when deciding when to
process QSBR requests.
Also track the amount of memory being held by QSBR for mimalloc pages. Advance the write sequence if this memory exceeds a limit. Advancing the sequence will allow it to be freed more quickly.
Process the held QSBR items from the "eval breaker", rather than from `_PyMem_FreeDelayed()`. This gives a higher chance that the global read sequence has advanced enough so that items can be freed.

Use `ma_used` instead of `ma_keys->dk_nentries` for modification check
so that we only check if the dictionary is modified, not if new keys are
added to a different dictionary that shared the same keys object.
Fix race in `lru_cache` by acquiring critical section on the cache object itself and call the lock held variant of dict functions to modify the underlying dict.
The function `dict_set_fromkeys()` adds elements of a set to an existing
dictionary. The size of the expanded dictionary was estimated with
`PySet_GET_SIZE(iterable)`, which did not take into account the size of the
existing dictionary.
The `dict.get` implementation uses `_Py_dict_lookup_threadsafe`, which is
thread-safe, so we remove the critical section from the argument clinic.
Add a test for concurrent dict get and set operations.
In the free threading build, the per thread reference counting uses a
unique id for some objects to index into the local reference count
table. Use 0 instead of -1 to indicate that the id is not assigned. This
avoids bugs where zero-initialized heap type objects look like they have
a unique id assigned.
* Add `_PyDictKeys_StringLookupSplit` which does locking on dict keys and
use in place of `_PyDictKeys_StringLookup`.
* Change `_PyObject_TryGetInstanceAttribute` to use that function
in the case of split keys.
* Add `unicodekeys_lookup_split` helper which allows code sharing
between `_Py_dict_lookup` and `_PyDictKeys_StringLookupSplit`.
* Fix locking for `STORE_ATTR_INSTANCE_VALUE`. Create
`_GUARD_TYPE_VERSION_AND_LOCK` uop so that object stays locked and
`tp_version_tag` cannot change.
* Pass `tp_version_tag` to `specialize_dict_access()`, ensuring
the version we store on the cache is the correct one (in case of
it changing during the specalize analysis).
* Split `analyze_descriptor` into `analyze_descriptor_load` and
`analyze_descriptor_store` since those don't share much logic.
Add `descriptor_is_class` helper function.
* In `specialize_dict_access`, double check `_PyObject_GetManagedDict()`
in case we race and dict was materialized before the lock.
* Avoid borrowed references in `_Py_Specialize_StoreAttr()`.
* Use `specialize()` and `unspecialize()` helpers.
* Add unit tests to ensure specializing happens as expected in FT builds.
* Add unit tests to attempt to trigger data races (useful for running under TSAN).
* Add `has_split_table` function to `_testinternalcapi`.
Objects may be temporarily "resurrected" in destructors when calling
finalizers or watcher callbacks. We previously undid the resurrection
by decrementing the reference count using `Py_SET_REFCNT`. This was not
thread-safe because other threads might be accessing the object
(modifying its reference count) if it was exposed by the finalizer,
watcher callback, or temporarily accessed by a racy dictionary or list
access.
This adds internal-only thread-safe functions for temporary object
resurrection during destructors.
Enable specialization of LOAD_GLOBAL in free-threaded builds.
Thread-safety of specialization in free-threaded builds is provided by the following:
A critical section is held on both the globals and builtins objects during specialization. This ensures we get an atomic view of both builtins and globals during specialization.
Generation of new keys versions is made atomic in free-threaded builds.
Existing helpers are used to atomically modify the opcode.
Thread-safety of specialized instructions in free-threaded builds is provided by the following:
Relaxed atomics are used when loading and storing dict keys versions. This avoids potential data races as the dict keys versions are read without holding the dictionary's per-object lock in version guards.
Dicts keys objects are passed from keys version guards to the downstream uops. This ensures that we are loading from the correct offset in the keys object. Once a unicode key has been stored in a keys object for a combined dictionary in free-threaded builds, the offset that it is stored in will never be reused for a different key. Once the version guard passes, we know that we are reading from the correct offset.
The dictionary read fast-path is used to read values from the dictionary once we know the correct offset.
* Mark almost all reachable objects before doing collection phase
* Add stats for objects marked
* Visit new frames before each increment
* Remove lazy dict tracking
* Update docs
* Clearer calculation of work to do.
