* [3.13] gh-87135: Hang non-main threads that attempt to acquire the GIL during finalization (GH-105805)
Instead of surprise crashes and memory corruption, we now hang threads that attempt to re-enter the Python interpreter after Python runtime finalization has started. These are typically daemon threads (our long standing mis-feature) but could also be threads spawned by extension modules that then try to call into Python. This marks the `PyThread_exit_thread` public C API as deprecated as there is no plausible safe way to accomplish that on any supported platform in the face of things like C++ code with finalizers anywhere on a thread's stack. Doing this was the least bad option.

* state "3.13.7 and earlier"

Removes ``PyConfig.use_system_logger``, resolving an ABI incompatibility introduced in
3.13.2.
Changes the default behavior of iOS to *always* direct stdout/stderr to the system log.
The use of PySys_GetObject() and _PySys_GetAttr(), which return a borrowed
reference, has been replaced by using one of the following functions, which
return a strong reference and distinguish a missing attribute from an error:
_PySys_GetOptionalAttr(), _PySys_GetOptionalAttrString(),
_PySys_GetRequiredAttr(), and _PySys_GetRequiredAttrString().

gh-129185: Fix PyTraceMalloc_Untrack() at Python exit (#129191)
Support calling PyTraceMalloc_Track() and PyTraceMalloc_Untrack()
during late Python finalization.
* Call _PyTraceMalloc_Fini() later in Python finalization.
* Test also PyTraceMalloc_Untrack() without the GIL
* PyTraceMalloc_Untrack() now gets the GIL.
* Test also PyTraceMalloc_Untrack() in test_tracemalloc_track_race().
(cherry picked from commit 46c7e13c05)
tracemalloc_alloc(), tracemalloc_realloc(), PyTraceMalloc_Track(),
PyTraceMalloc_Untrack() and _PyTraceMalloc_TraceRef() now check
tracemalloc_config.tracing after calling TABLES_LOCK().
_PyTraceMalloc_Stop() now protects more code with TABLES_LOCK(),
especially setting tracemalloc_config.tracing to 1.
Add a test using PyTraceMalloc_Track() to test tracemalloc.stop()
race condition.
Call _PyTraceMalloc_Init() at Python startup.
gh-128146: Exclude os/log.h import on older macOS versions. (GH-128165)
Reworks the handling of Apple system log handling to account for older macOS
versions that don't provide os-log.

Adds a `use_system_log` config item to enable stdout/stderr redirection for
Apple platforms. This log streaming is then used by a new iOS test runner
script, allowing the display of test suite output at runtime. The iOS test
runner script can be used by any Python project, not just the CPython test
suite.

* gh-116510: Fix a Crash Due to Shared Immortal Interned Strings (gh-124865)
Fix a crash caused by immortal interned strings being shared between
sub-interpreters that use basic single-phase init. In that case, the string
can be used by an interpreter that outlives the interpreter that created and
interned it. For interpreters that share obmalloc state, also share the
interned dict with the main interpreter.
This is an un-revert of gh-124646 that then addresses the Py_TRACE_REFS
failures identified by gh-124785.

This change makes things a little less painful for some users. It also fixes a failing assert (gh-120765), by making sure all subinterpreters are destroyed before the main interpreter. As part of that, we make sure Py_Finalize() always runs with the main interpreter active.

We also add _PyThreadState_NewBound() and drop _PyThreadState_SetWhence().
This change only affects internal API.

In gh-120009 I used an atexit hook to finalize the _datetime module's static types at interpreter shutdown. However, atexit hooks are executed very early in finalization, which is a problem in the few cases where a subclass of one of those static types is still alive until the final GC collection. The static builtin types don't have this probably because they are finalized toward the end, after the final GC collection. To avoid the problem for _datetime, I have applied a similar approach here.
Also, credit goes to @mgorny and @neonene for the new tests.
FYI, I would have liked to take a slightly cleaner approach with managed static types, but wanted to get a smaller fix in first for the sake of backporting. I'll circle back to the cleaner approach with a future change on the main branch.

gh-111499: Fix PYTHONMALLOCSTATS at Python exit (GH-120021)
Call _PyObject_DebugMallocStats() earlier in Py_FinalizeEx(), before
the interpreter is deleted.
(cherry picked from commit 5a1205b641)

We already intern and immortalize most string constants. In the
free-threaded build, other constants can be a source of reference count
contention because they are shared by all threads running the same code
objects.
Most module names are interned and immortalized, but the main
module was not. This partially addresses a scaling bottleneck in the
free-threaded when creating closure concurrently in the main module.
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.
These are cleanups I've pulled out of gh-118116. Mostly, this change moves code around to align with some future changes and to improve clarity a little. There is one very small change in behavior: we now add the module to the per-interpreter caches after updating the global state, rather than before.
The free-threaded build does not currently support the combination of
single-phase init modules and non-isolated subinterpreters. Ensure that
`check_multi_interp_extensions` is always `True` for subinterpreters in
the free-threaded build so that importing these modules raises an
`ImportError`.
Split `_PyThreadState_DeleteExcept` into two functions:
- `_PyThreadState_RemoveExcept` removes all thread states other than one
passed as an argument. It returns the removed thread states as a
linked list.
- `_PyThreadState_DeleteList` deletes those dead thread states. It may
call destructors, so we want to "start the world" before calling
`_PyThreadState_DeleteList` to avoid potential deadlocks.
Add Py_GetConstant() and Py_GetConstantBorrowed() functions.
In the limited C API version 3.13, getting Py_None, Py_False,
Py_True, Py_Ellipsis and Py_NotImplemented singletons is now
implemented as function calls at the stable ABI level to hide
implementation details. Getting these constants still return borrowed
references.
Add _testlimitedcapi/object.c and test_capi/test_object.py to test
Py_GetConstant() and Py_GetConstantBorrowed() functions.
This changes the free-threaded build to perform a stop-the-world pause
before deleting other thread states when forking and during shutdown.
This fixes some crashes when using multiprocessing and during shutdown
when running with `PYTHON_GIL=0`.
This also changes `PyOS_BeforeFork` to acquire the runtime lock
(i.e., `HEAD_LOCK(&_PyRuntime)`) before forking to ensure that data
protected by the runtime lock (and not just the GIL or stop-the-world)
is in a consistent state before forking.
This adds `_PyMem_FreeDelayed()` and supporting functions. The
`_PyMem_FreeDelayed()` function frees memory with the same allocator as
`PyMem_Free()`, but after some delay to ensure that concurrent lock-free
readers have finished.
This change adds an `eval_breaker` field to `PyThreadState`. The primary
motivation is for performance in free-threaded builds: with thread-local eval
breakers, we can stop a specific thread (e.g., for an async exception) without
interrupting other threads.
The source of truth for the global instrumentation version is stored in the
`instrumentation_version` field in PyInterpreterState. Threads usually read the
version from their local `eval_breaker`, where it continues to be colocated
with the eval breaker bits.
Add an option (--enable-experimental-jit for configure-based builds
or --experimental-jit for PCbuild-based ones) to build an
*experimental* just-in-time compiler, based on copy-and-patch (https://fredrikbk.com/publications/copy-and-patch.pdf).
See Tools/jit/README.md for more information on how to install the required build-time tooling.
For interpreters that share state with the main interpreter, this points
to the same static memory structure. For interpreters with their own
obmalloc state, it is heap allocated. Add free_obmalloc_arenas() which
will free the obmalloc arenas and radix tree structures for interpreters
with their own obmalloc state.
