Add free-threaded versions of existing specialization for FOR_ITER (list, tuples, fast range iterators and generators), without significantly affecting their thread-safety. (Iterating over shared lists/tuples/ranges should be fine like before. Reusing iterators between threads is not fine, like before. Sharing generators between threads is a recipe for significant crashes, like before.)
* Fix use after free in list objects
Set the items pointer in the list object to NULL after the items array
is freed during list deallocation. Otherwise, we can end up with a list
object added to the free list that contains a pointer to an already-freed
items array.
* Mark `_PyList_FromStackRefStealOnSuccess` as escaping
I think technically it's not escaping, because the only object that
can be decrefed if allocation fails is an exact list, which cannot
execute arbitrary code when it is destroyed. However, this seems less
intrusive than trying to special cases objects in the assert in `_Py_Dealloc`
that checks for non-null stackpointers and shouldn't matter for performance.
* Combine _GUARD_GLOBALS_VERSION_PUSH_KEYS and _LOAD_GLOBAL_MODULE_FROM_KEYS into _LOAD_GLOBAL_MODULE
* Combine _GUARD_BUILTINS_VERSION_PUSH_KEYS and _LOAD_GLOBAL_BUILTINS_FROM_KEYS into _LOAD_GLOBAL_BUILTINS
* Combine _CHECK_ATTR_MODULE_PUSH_KEYS and _LOAD_ATTR_MODULE_FROM_KEYS into _LOAD_ATTR_MODULE
* Remove stack transient in LOAD_ATTR_WITH_HINT
* Implement C recursion protection with limit pointers for Linux, MacOS and Windows
* Remove calls to PyOS_CheckStack
* Add stack protection to parser
* Make tests more robust to low stacks
* Improve error messages for stack overflow
Revert "GH-91079: Implement C stack limits using addresses, not counters. (GH-130007)" for now
Unfortunatlely, the change broke some buildbots.
This reverts commit 2498c22fa0a2b560491bc503fa676585c1a603d0.
* Implement C recursion protection with limit pointers
* Remove calls to PyOS_CheckStack
* Add stack protection to parser
* Make tests more robust to low stacks
* Improve error messages for stack overflow
* Remove all 'if (0)' and 'if (1)' conditional stack effects
* Use array instead of conditional for BUILD_SLICE args
* Refactor LOAD_GLOBAL to use a common conditional uop
* Remove conditional stack effects from LOAD_ATTR specializations
* Replace conditional stack effects in LOAD_ATTR with a 0 or 1 sized array.
* Remove conditional stack effects from CALL_FUNCTION_EX
* Add `_PyDictKeys_StringLookupSplit` which does locking on dict keys and
use in place of `_PyDictKeys_StringLookup`.
* Change `_PyObject_TryGetInstanceAttribute` to use that function
in the case of split keys.
* Add `unicodekeys_lookup_split` helper which allows code sharing
between `_Py_dict_lookup` and `_PyDictKeys_StringLookupSplit`.
* Fix locking for `STORE_ATTR_INSTANCE_VALUE`. Create
`_GUARD_TYPE_VERSION_AND_LOCK` uop so that object stays locked and
`tp_version_tag` cannot change.
* Pass `tp_version_tag` to `specialize_dict_access()`, ensuring
the version we store on the cache is the correct one (in case of
it changing during the specalize analysis).
* Split `analyze_descriptor` into `analyze_descriptor_load` and
`analyze_descriptor_store` since those don't share much logic.
Add `descriptor_is_class` helper function.
* In `specialize_dict_access`, double check `_PyObject_GetManagedDict()`
in case we race and dict was materialized before the lock.
* Avoid borrowed references in `_Py_Specialize_StoreAttr()`.
* Use `specialize()` and `unspecialize()` helpers.
* Add unit tests to ensure specializing happens as expected in FT builds.
* Add unit tests to attempt to trigger data races (useful for running under TSAN).
* Add `has_split_table` function to `_testinternalcapi`.
We use the same approach that was used for specialization of LOAD_GLOBAL in free-threaded builds:
_CHECK_ATTR_MODULE is renamed to _CHECK_ATTR_MODULE_PUSH_KEYS; it pushes the keys object for the following _LOAD_ATTR_MODULE_FROM_KEYS (nee _LOAD_ATTR_MODULE). This arrangement avoids having to recheck the keys version.
_LOAD_ATTR_MODULE is renamed to _LOAD_ATTR_MODULE_FROM_KEYS; it loads the value from the keys object pushed by the preceding _CHECK_ATTR_MODULE_PUSH_KEYS at the cached index.
* Enable specialization of CALL_KW
* Fix bug pushing frame in _PY_FRAME_KW
`_PY_FRAME_KW` pushes a pointer to the new frame onto the stack for
consumption by the next uop. When pushing the frame fails, we do not
want to push the result, `NULL`, to the stack because it is not
a valid stackref. This works in the default build because `PyStackRef_NULL`
and `NULL` are the same value, so the `PyStackRef_XCLOSE()` in the error
handler ignores it. In the free-threaded build the values are not the same;
`PyStackRef_XCLOSE()` will attempt to decref a null pointer.
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.
The specialization only depends on the type, so no special thread-safety
considerations there.
STORE_SUBSCR_LIST_INT needs to lock the list before modifying it.
`_PyDict_SetItem_Take2` already internally locks the dictionary using a
critical section.
This gets rid of the immortal check in `PyStackRef_FromPyObjectSteal()`.
Overall, this improves performance about 2% in the free threading
build.
This also renames `PyStackRef_Is()` to `PyStackRef_IsExactly()` because
the macro requires that the tag bits of the arguments match, which is
only true in certain special cases.
