Methods (functions defined in class scope) are likely to be cleaned
up by the GC anyway.
Add a new code flag, `CO_METHOD`, that is set for functions defined
in a class scope. Use that when deciding to defer functions.
The CALL family of instructions were mostly thread-safe already and only required a small number of changes, which are documented below.
A few changes were needed to make CALL_ALLOC_AND_ENTER_INIT thread-safe:
Added _PyType_LookupRefAndVersion, which returns the type version corresponding to the returned ref.
Added _PyType_CacheInitForSpecialization, which takes an init method and the corresponding type version and only populates the specialization cache if the current type version matches the supplied version. This prevents potentially caching a stale value in free-threaded builds if we race with an update to __init__.
Only cache __init__ functions that are deferred in free-threaded builds. This ensures that the reference to __init__ that is stored in the specialization cache is valid if the type version guard in _CHECK_AND_ALLOCATE_OBJECT passes.
Fix a bug in _CREATE_INIT_FRAME where the frame is pushed to the stack on failure.
A few other miscellaneous changes were also needed:
Use {LOCK,UNLOCK}_OBJECT in LIST_APPEND. This ensures that the list's per-object lock is held while we are appending to it.
Add missing co_tlbc for _Py_InitCleanup.
Stop/start the world around setting the eval frame hook. This allows us to read interp->eval_frame non-atomically and preserves the behavior of _CHECK_PEP_523 documented below.
* Spill the evaluation around escaping calls in the generated interpreter and JIT.
* The code generator tracks live, cached values so they can be saved to memory when needed.
* Spills the stack pointer around escaping calls, so that the exact stack is visible to the cycle GC.
The code for Tier 2 is now only compiled when configured
with `--enable-experimental-jit[=yes|interpreter]`.
We drop support for `PYTHON_UOPS` and -`Xuops`,
but you can disable the interpreter or JIT
at runtime by setting `PYTHON_JIT=0`.
You can also build it without enabling it by default
using `--enable-experimental-jit=yes-off`;
enable with `PYTHON_JIT=1`.
On Windows, the `build.bat` script supports
`--experimental-jit`, `--experimental-jit-off`,
`--experimental-interpreter`.
In the C code, `_Py_JIT` is defined as before
when the JIT is enabled; the new variable
`_Py_TIER2` is defined when the JIT *or* the
interpreter is enabled. It is actually a bitmask:
1: JIT; 2: default-off; 4: interpreter.
A previous commit introduced a bug to `interpreter_clear()`: it set
`interp->ceval.instrumentation_version` to 0, without making the corresponding
change to `tstate->eval_breaker` (which holds a thread-local copy of the
version). After this happens, Python code can still run due to object finalizers
during a GC, and the version check in bytecodes.c will see a different result
than the one in instrumentation.c causing an infinite loop.
The fix itself is straightforward: clear `tstate->eval_breaker` when clearing
`interp->ceval.instrumentation_version`.
* Rename `_testinternalcapi.get_{uop,counter}_optimizer` to `new_*_optimizer`
* Use `_PyUOpName()` instead of` _PyOpcode_uop_name[]`
* Add `target` to executor iterator items -- `list(ex)` now returns `(opcode, oparg, target, operand)` quadruples
* Add executor methods `get_opcode()` and `get_oparg()` to get `vmdata.opcode`, `vmdata.oparg`
* Define a helper for printing uops, and unify various places where they are printed
* Add a hack to summarize_stats.py to fix legacy uop names (e.g. `POP_TOP` -> `_POP_TOP`)
* Define helpers in `test_opt.py` for accessing the set or list of opnames of an executor
The test now calls free_tool_id() so it can be run multiple times in
the same process. For example, the following command no longer fails:
python -m test test_monitoring -R 3:3
This adds a 16-bit inline cache entry to the conditional branch instructions POP_JUMP_IF_{FALSE,TRUE,NONE,NOT_NONE} and their instrumented variants, which is used to keep track of the branch direction.
Each time we encounter these instructions we shift the cache entry left by one and set the bottom bit to whether we jumped.
Then when it's time to translate such a branch to Tier 2 uops, we use the bit count from the cache entry to decided whether to continue translating the "didn't jump" branch or the "jumped" branch.
The counter is initialized to a pattern of alternating ones and zeros to avoid bias.
The .pyc file magic number is updated. There's a new test, some fixes for existing tests, and a few miscellaneous cleanups.
