_thread.start_new_thread() no longer calls PyThread_exit_thread()
explicitly at the thread exit, the call was redundant.
On Linux with the glibc, pthread_cancel() loads dynamically the
libgcc_s.so.1 library. dlopen() can fail if there is no more
available file descriptor to open the file. In this case, the process
aborts with the error message:
"libgcc_s.so.1 must be installed for pthread_cancel to work"
pthread_cancel() unwinds back to the thread's wrapping function that
calls the thread entry point.
The unwind function is dynamically loaded from the libgcc_s library
since it is tightly coupled to the C compiler (GCC). The unwinder
depends on DWARF, the compiler generates DWARF, so the unwinder
belongs to the compiler.
Thanks Florian Weimer and Carlos O'Donell for their help on
investigating this issue.
(cherry picked from commit 45a78f906d)
An isolated subinterpreter cannot spawn threads, spawn a child
process or call os.fork().
* Add private _Py_NewInterpreter(isolated_subinterpreter) function.
* Add isolated=True keyword-only parameter to
_xxsubinterpreters.create().
* Allow again os.fork() in "non-isolated" subinterpreters.
Rename _PyInterpreterState_GET_UNSAFE() to _PyInterpreterState_GET()
for consistency with _PyThreadState_GET() and to have a shorter name
(help to fit into 80 columns).
Add also "assert(tstate != NULL);" to the function.
Add a private _at_fork_reinit() method to _thread.Lock,
_thread.RLock, threading.RLock and threading.Condition classes:
reinitialize the lock after fork in the child process; reset the lock
to the unlocked state.
Rename also the private _reset_internal_locks() method of
threading.Event to _at_fork_reinit().
* Add _PyThread_at_fork_reinit() private function. It is excluded
from the limited C API.
* threading.Thread._reset_internal_locks() now calls
_at_fork_reinit() on self._tstate_lock rather than creating a new
Python lock object.
* _PyThreadState_DeleteCurrent() now takes tstate rather than
runtime.
* Add ensure_tstate_not_null() helper to pystate.c.
* Add _PyEval_ReleaseLock() function.
* _PyThreadState_DeleteCurrent() now calls
_PyEval_ReleaseLock(tstate) and frees PyThreadState memory after
this call, not before.
* PyGILState_Release(): rename "tcur" variable to "tstate".
Replace _PyInterpreterState_Get() function call with
_PyInterpreterState_GET_UNSAFE() macro which is more efficient but
don't check if tstate or interp is NULL.
_Py_GetConfigsAsDict() now uses _PyThreadState_GET().
Add PyInterpreterState.runtime field: reference to the _PyRuntime
global variable. This field exists to not have to pass runtime in
addition to tstate to a function. Get runtime from tstate:
tstate->interp->runtime.
Remove "_PyRuntimeState *runtime" parameter from functions already
taking a "PyThreadState *tstate" parameter.
_PyGC_Init() first parameter becomes "PyThreadState *tstate".
* Rename PyThreadState_DeleteCurrent()
to _PyThreadState_DeleteCurrent()
* Move it to the internal C API

In a subinterpreter, spawning a daemon thread now raises an
exception. Daemon threads were never supported in subinterpreters.
Previously, the subinterpreter finalization crashed with a Pyton
fatal error if a daemon thread was still running.
* Add _thread._is_main_interpreter()
* threading.Thread.start() now raises RuntimeError if the thread is a
daemon thread and the method is called from a subinterpreter.
* The _thread module now uses Argument Clinic for the new function.
* Use textwrap.dedent() in test_threading.SubinterpThreadingTests
_thread.start_new_thread() now logs uncaught exception raised by the
function using sys.unraisablehook(), rather than sys.excepthook(), so
the hook gets access to the function which raised the exception.
Add a new threading.excepthook() function which handles uncaught
Thread.run() exception. It can be overridden to control how uncaught
exceptions are handled.
threading.ExceptHookArgs is not documented on purpose: it should not
be used directly.
* threading.excepthook() and threading.ExceptHookArgs.
* Add _PyErr_Display(): similar to PyErr_Display(), but accept a
'file' parameter.
* Add _thread._excepthook(): C implementation of the exception hook
calling _PyErr_Display().
* Add _thread._ExceptHookArgs: structseq type.
* Add threading._invoke_excepthook_wrapper() which handles the gory
details to ensure that everything remains alive during Python
shutdown.
* Add unit tests.
* Add 'runtime' parameter to _PyThreadState_Init()
* Add 'gilstate' parameter to _PyGILState_NoteThreadState()
* Move _PyThreadState_Init() and _PyThreadState_DeleteExcept()
to the internal C API.
Fix invalid function cast warnings with gcc 8
for method conventions different from METH_NOARGS, METH_O and
METH_VARARGS excluding Argument Clinic generated code.
METH_NOARGS functions need only a single argument but they are cast
into a PyCFunction, which takes two arguments. This triggers an
invalid function cast warning in gcc8 due to the argument mismatch.
Fix this by adding a dummy unused argument.
AttributeError was raised always when attribute is not found.
This commit skip raising AttributeError when `tp_getattro` is `PyObject_GenericGetAttr`.
It makes hasattr() and getattr() about 4x faster when attribute is not found.
Fix the following false-alarm Coverity warning:
Result is not floating-point
(UNINTENDED_INTEGER_DIVISION)integer_division: Dividing integer
expressions 9223372036854775807LL and 1000LL, and then converting
the integer quotient to type double. Any remainder, or fractional
part of the quotient, is ignored.
To compute and use a non-integer quotient, change or cast either
operand to type double. If integer division is intended, consider
indicating that by casting the result to type long long .
kB (*kilo* byte) unit means 1000 bytes, whereas KiB ("kibibyte")
means 1024 bytes. KB was misused: replace kB or KB with KiB when
appropriate.
Same change for MB and GB which become MiB and GiB.
Change the output of Tools/iobench/iobench.py.
Round also the size of the documentation from 5.5 MB to 5 MiB.
Fix the pthread+semaphore implementation of
PyThread_acquire_lock_timed() when called with timeout > 0 and
intr_flag=0: recompute the timeout if sem_timedwait() is interrupted
by a signal (EINTR).
See also the PEP 475.
The pthread implementation of PyThread_acquire_lock() now fails with
a fatal error if the timeout is larger than PY_TIMEOUT_MAX, as done
in the Windows implementation.
The check prevents any risk of overflow in PyThread_acquire_lock().
Add also PY_DWORD_MAX constant.
Fix timeout rounding in time.sleep(), threading.Lock.acquire() and
socket.socket.settimeout() to round correctly negative timeouts between -1.0 and
0.0. The functions now block waiting for events as expected. Previously, the
call was incorrectly non-blocking.
* group the (stateful) runtime globals into various topical structs
* consolidate the topical structs under a single top-level _PyRuntimeState struct
* add a check-c-globals.py script that helps identify runtime globals
Other globals are excluded (see globals.txt and check-c-globals.py).
