If the thread stack size is set by linker flags, pass the stack size
to Python/ceval.c via the new _Py_LINKER_THREAD_STACK_SIZE variable
to set Py_C_STACK_SIZE macro.
For AArch64 linux, reduces the total bytes in the code bodies from 489kb to 218kb.
Reduces the size of the stencils files from 394k lines to 167k lines.
* Make _Py_ReachedRecursionLimit inline again
* Remove _Py_MakeRecCheck replacing its use with _Py_ReachedRecursionLimit
* Move the check for C stack swtiching into _Py_CheckRecursiveCall
The function__entry and function__return probes stopped working in Python 3.11
when the interpreter was restructured around the new bytecode system. This change
restores these probes by adding DTRACE_FUNCTION_ENTRY() at the start_frame label
in bytecodes.c and DTRACE_FUNCTION_RETURN() in the RETURN_VALUE and YIELD_VALUE
instructions. The helper functions are defined in ceval.c and extract the
filename, function name, and line number from the frame before firing the probe.
This builds on the approach from https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/125019
but avoids modifying the JIT template since the JIT does not currently support
DTrace. The macros are conditionally compiled with WITH_DTRACE and are no-ops
otherwise. The tests have been updated to use modern opcode names (CALL, CALL_KW,
CALL_FUNCTION_EX) and a new bpftrace backend was added for Linux CI alongside
the existing SystemTap tests. Line probe tests were removed since that probe
was never restored after 3.11.
* Make the `PY_UNWIND` monitoring event available as a code-local
event to allow trapping on function exit events when an exception
bubbles up. This complements the PY_RETURN event by allowing to
catch any function exit event.
* Allow `PY_UNWIND` to be `DISABLE`d; disabling it disables the event for the whole code object.
* Do the above for `PY_THROW`, `RAISE`, `EXCEPTION_HANDLED`, and `RERAISE` events.
* Add FOR_ITER_VIRTUAL to specialize FOR_ITER for virtual iterators
* Add GET_ITER_SELF to specialize GET_ITER for iterators (including generators)
* Add GET_ITER_VIRTUAL to specialize GET_ITER for iterables as virtual iterators
* Add new (internal) _tp_iteritem function slot to PyTypeObject
* Put limited RESUME at start of genexpr for free-threading. Fix up exception handling in genexpr
Revert "GH-126910: Make `_Py_get_machine_stack_pointer` return the stack pointer (#147945)"
This reverts commit 255026d9ee,
which broke a tier-1 buildbot.
* Make _Py_get_machine_stack_pointer return the stack pointer (or close to it), not the frame pointer
* Make ``_Py_ReachedRecursionLimit`` inline again
* Remove ``_Py_MakeRecCheck`` relacing its use with ``_Py_ReachedRecursionLimit``
* Move stack swtiching check into ``_Py_CheckRecursiveCall``
Add special cases for classmethod and staticmethod descriptors in
_PyObject_GetMethodStackRef() to avoid calling tp_descr_get, which
avoids reference count contention on the bound method and underlying
callable. This improves scaling when calling classmethods and
staticmethods from multiple threads.
Also refactor method_vectorcall in classobject.c into a new _PyObject_VectorcallPrepend() helper so that it can be used by
PyObject_VectorcallMethod as well.
The positional arguments passed to _PyStack_UnpackDict are already
kept alive by the caller, so we can avoid the extra reference count
operations by using borrowed references instead of creating new ones.
This reduces reference count contention in the free-threaded build
when calling functions with keyword arguments. In particular, this
avoids contention on the type argument to `__new__` when instantiating
namedtuples with keyword arguments.
Add a FRAME_SUSPENDED_YIELD_FROM_LOCKED state that acts as a brief
lock, preventing other threads from transitioning the frame state
while gen_getyieldfrom reads the yield-from object off the stack.
Now that the specializing interpreter works with free threading,
replace ENABLE_SPECIALIZATION_FT with ENABLE_SPECIALIZATION and
replace requires_specialization_ft with requires_specialization.
Also limit the uniquely referenced check to FOR_ITER_RANGE. It's not
necessary for FOR_ITER_GEN and would cause test_for_iter_gen to fail.
This makes generator frame state transitions atomic in the free
threading build, which avoids segfaults when trying to execute
a generator from multiple threads concurrently.
There are still a few operations that aren't thread-safe and may crash
if performed concurrently on the same generator/coroutine:
* Accessing gi_yieldfrom/cr_await/ag_await
* Accessing gi_frame/cr_frame/ag_frame
* Async generator operations
