Python now supports checking bytecode cache up-to-dateness with a hash of the
source contents rather than volatile source metadata. See the PEP for details.
While a fairly straightforward idea, quite a lot of code had to be modified due
to the pervasiveness of pyc implementation details in the codebase. Changes in
this commit include:
- The core changes to importlib to understand how to read, validate, and
regenerate hash-based pycs.
- Support for generating hash-based pycs in py_compile and compileall.
- Modifications to our siphash implementation to support passing a custom
key. We then expose it to importlib through _imp.
- Updates to all places in the interpreter, standard library, and tests that
manually generate or parse pyc files to grok the new format.
- Support in the interpreter command line code for long options like
--check-hash-based-pycs.
- Tests and documentation for all of the above.
Py_Main() now handles two more -X options:
* -X showrefcount: new _PyCoreConfig.show_ref_count field
* -X showalloccount: new _PyCoreConfig.show_alloc_count field
PR #1638, for bpo-28411, causes problems in some (very) edge cases. Until that gets sorted out, we're reverting the merge. PR #3506, a fix on top of #1638, is also getting reverted.
* Drop warnoptions from PyInterpreterState.
* Drop xoptions from PyInterpreterState.
* Don't set warnoptions and _xoptions again.
* Decref after adding to sys.__dict__.
* Drop an unused macro.
* Check sys.xoptions *before* we delete it.
* 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).

Issue #24891: Fix a race condition at Python startup if the file descriptor
of stdin (0), stdout (1) or stderr (2) is closed while Python is creating
sys.stdin, sys.stdout and sys.stderr objects. These attributes are now set
to None if the creation of the object failed, instead of raising an OSError
exception. Initial patch written by Marco Paolini.
The concept of .pyo files no longer exists. Now .pyc files have an
optional `opt-` tag which specifies if any extra optimizations beyond
the peepholer were applied.
Flushing sys.stdout and sys.stderr in Py_FatalError() can call again
Py_FatalError(). Add a reentrant flag to detect this case and just abort at the
second call.
It should help to see exceptions when stderr if buffered: PyErr_Display() calls
sys.stderr.write(), it doesn't write into stderr file descriptor directly.
* Display the current Python stack if an exception was raised but the exception
has no traceback
* Disable faulthandler if an exception was raised (before it was only disabled
if no exception was raised)
* To display the current Python stack, call PyGILState_GetThisThreadState()
which works even if the GIL was released
Other changes:
* The whole _PyTime API is private (not defined if Py_LIMITED_API is set)
* _PyTime_gettimeofday_info() also returns -1 on error
* Simplify PyTime_gettimeofday(): only use clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME) or
gettimeofday() on UNIX. Don't fallback to ftime() or time() anymore.
