We need the TracebackException of uncaught exceptions for a single purpose: the error display. Thus we only need to pass the formatted error display between interpreters. Passing a pickled TracebackException is overkill.
When an exception is uncaught in Interpreter.exec_sync(), it helps to show that exception's error display if uncaught in the calling interpreter. We do so here by generating a TracebackException in the subinterpreter and passing it between interpreters using pickle.
Regression test that vfork is used when expected by subprocess.
This is written integration test style, it uses strace if it is present and appears to work to find out what system call actually gets used in different scenarios.
Test coverage is added for the default behavior and that of each of the specific arguments that must disable the use of vfork. obviously not an entire test matrix, but it covers the most important aspects.
If there are ever issues with this test being flaky or failing on new platforms, rather than try and adapt it for all possible platforms, feel free to narrow the range it gets tested on when appropriate. That is not likely to reduce coverage.
Use scanning "/dev/fd/" on macOS in support.fd_count(). That's both more efficient than scanning all possible file descriptors, and avoids crashing the interpreter when there are open "guarded" file descriptors.
"Guarded" file descriptors are a macOS feature where file descriptors used by system libraries are marked and cause hard crashes when used by "user" code.

Now all results from worker processes are aggregated and
displayed together as a summary at the end of a regrtest run.
The traditional trace is left in place for use with sequential
in-process test runs but now raises a warning that those
numbers are not precise.
`-T -j` requires `--with-pydebug` as it relies on `-Xpresite=`.
Copy the list of dangling threads to make sure that the list of
"Dangling thread" is complete. Previously, the list was incomplete if
threads completed just before the list was displayed.
Changes:
* Rewrite the warning to make it easier to understand.
* Use support.sleeping_retry().
* threading_cleanup() no longer copies threading._dangling,
but only counts the number of dangling thread.
* Remove support.gc_support() call.
This moves several general internal APIs out of _xxsubinterpretersmodule.c and into the new Python/crossinterp.c (and the corresponding internal headers).
Specifically:
* _Py_excinfo, etc.: the initial implementation for non-object exception snapshots (in pycore_pyerrors.h and Python/errors.c)
* _PyXI_exception_info, etc.: helpers for passing an exception beween interpreters (wraps _Py_excinfo)
* _PyXI_namespace, etc.: helpers for copying a dict of attrs between interpreters
* _PyXI_Enter(), _PyXI_Exit(): functions that abstract out the transitions between one interpreter and a second that will do some work temporarily
Again, these were all abstracted out of _xxsubinterpretersmodule.c as generalizations. I plan on proposing these as public API at some point.
- There is no longer a separate Python/executor.c file.
- Conventions in Python/bytecodes.c are slightly different -- don't use `goto error`,
you must use `GOTO_ERROR(error)` (same for others like `unused_local_error`).
- The `TIER_ONE` and `TIER_TWO` symbols are only valid in the generated (.c.h) files.
- In Lib/test/support/__init__.py, `Py_C_RECURSION_LIMIT` is imported from `_testcapi`.
- On Windows, in debug mode, stack allocation grows from 8MiB to 12MiB.
- **Beware!** This changes the env vars to enable uops and their debugging
to `PYTHON_UOPS` and `PYTHON_LLTRACE`.
* Add mimalloc v2.12
Modified src/alloc.c to remove include of alloc-override.c and not
compile new handler.
Did not include the following files:
- include/mimalloc-new-delete.h
- include/mimalloc-override.h
- src/alloc-override-osx.c
- src/alloc-override.c
- src/static.c
- src/region.c
mimalloc is thread safe and shares a single heap across all runtimes,
therefore finalization and getting global allocated blocks across all
runtimes is different.
* mimalloc: minimal changes for use in Python:
- remove debug spam for freeing large allocations
- use same bytes (0xDD) for freed allocations in CPython and mimalloc
This is important for the test_capi debug memory tests
* Don't export mimalloc symbol in libpython.
* Enable mimalloc as Python allocator option.
* Add mimalloc MIT license.
* Log mimalloc in Lib/test/pythoninfo.py.
* Document new mimalloc support.
* Use macro defs for exports as done in:

Test case matching patterns specified by options --match, --ignore,
--matchfile and --ignorefile are now tested in the order of
specification, and the last match determines whether the test case be run
or ignored.
Increase support.LOOPBACK_TIMEOUT from 5 to 10 seconds. Also increase
the timeout depending on the --timeout option. For example, for a
test timeout of 40 minutes (ARM Raspbian 3.x), use LOOPBACK_TIMEOUT
of 20 seconds instead of 5 seconds before.
* Split test_pycfunction.py: add test_cfunction_full.py.
Split the function into the following 6 functions. In verbose
mode, these "pycfunction" tests now log each tested call.
* test_pycfunction_noargs()
* test_pycfunction_o()
* test_pycfunction_varargs()
* test_pycfunction_varargs_keywords()
* test_pycfunction_fastcall()
* test_pycfunction_fastcall_keywords()
* Move get_gdb_repr() to PrettyPrintTests.
* Replace DebuggerTests.get_sample_script() with SAMPLE_SCRIPT.
* Rename checkout_hook_path to CHECKOUT_HOOK_PATH.
* Rename gdb_version to GDB_VERSION_TEXT.
* Replace (gdb_major_version, gdb_minor_version) with GDB_VERSION.
* run_gdb() uses "backslashreplace" error handler instead of "replace".
* Add check_gdb() function to util.py.
* Enhance support.check_cflags_pgo(): check also for sysconfig
PGO_PROF_USE_FLAG (if available) in compiler flags.
* Move some SkipTest checks to test_gdb/__init__.py.
* Elaborate why gdb cannot be tested on Windows: gdb doesn't support
PDB debug symbol files.
Fix copy_source_tree() function of test_tools.test_freeze:
* Don't copy SRC_DIR/build/ anymore. This directory is modified by
other tests running in parallel.
* Add test.support.copy_python_src_ignore().
* Use sysconfig to get the source directory.
* Use sysconfig.get_config_var() to get CONFIG_ARGS variable.
Skip test_freeze_simple_script() of test_tools.test_freeze if Python
is built with "./configure --enable-optimizations", which means with
Profile Guided Optimization (PGO): it just makes the test too slow.
The freeze tool is tested by many other CIs with other (faster)
compiler flags.
test.pythoninfo now gets also get_build_info() of
test.libregrtests.utils.
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.
* Add attributes to Regrtest and RunTests:
* gc_threshold
* memory_limit
* python_cmd
* use_resources
* Remove WorkerJob class. Add as_json() and from_json() methods to
RunTests. A worker process now only uses RunTests for all
parameters.
* Add tests on support.set_memlimit() in test_support. Create
_parse_memlimit() and also adds tests on it.
* Remove 'ns' parameter from runtest.py.
Symbols of the C API should be prefixed by "Py_" to avoid conflict
with existing names in 3rd party C extensions on "#include <Python.h>".
test.pythoninfo now logs Py_C_RECURSION_LIMIT constant and other
_testcapi and _testinternalcapi constants.
Commit 13a00078b8 (#108663) made all
Python builds compatible with the Limited API, and removed the
LIMITED_API_AVAILABLE flag. However, some tests were still checking
for that flag, so they were now being incorrectly skipped. Remove
these checks to let these tests run again.
