This code is used for signal handling in python that isn't built

Don't use this implementation when Py_AddPendingCalls() can happen

There are two possible race conditions:

(1) nested asynchronous calls to Py_AddPendingCall()

(2) AddPendingCall() calls made while pending calls are being processed.

(1) is very unlikely because typically signal delivery

is blocked during signal handling. So it should be impossible.

(2) is a real possibility.

The current code is safe against (2), but not against (1).

The safety against (2) is derived from the fact that only one

thread is present, interrupted by signals, and that the critical

section is protected with the "busy" variable. On Windows, which

delivers SIGINT on a system thread, this does not hold and therefore

Windows really shouldn't use this version.

The two threads could theoretically wiggle around the "busy" variable.

/* Computed GOTOs, or

the-optimization-commonly-but-improperly-known-as-"threaded code"

using gcc's labels-as-values extension

(http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Labels-as-Values.html).

The traditional bytecode evaluation loop uses a "switch" statement, which

decent compilers will optimize as a single indirect branch instruction

combined with a lookup table of jump addresses. However, since the

indirect jump instruction is shared by all opcodes, the CPU will have a

hard time making the right prediction for where to jump next (actually,

it will be always wrong except in the uncommon case of a sequence of

several identical opcodes).

"Threaded code" in contrast, uses an explicit jump table and an explicit

indirect jump instruction at the end of each opcode. Since the jump

instruction is at a different address for each opcode, the CPU will make a

separate prediction for each of these instructions, which is equivalent to

predicting the second opcode of each opcode pair. These predictions have

a much better chance to turn out valid, especially in small bytecode loops.

A mispredicted branch on a modern CPU flushes the whole pipeline and

can cost several CPU cycles (depending on the pipeline depth),

and potentially many more instructions (depending on the pipeline width).

A correctly predicted branch, however, is nearly free.

At the time of this writing, the "threaded code" version is up to 15-20%

faster than the normal "switch" version, depending on the compiler and the

CPU architecture.

We disable the optimization if DYNAMIC_EXECUTION_PROFILE is defined,

because it would render the measurements invalid.

NOTE: care must be taken that the compiler doesn't try to "optimize" the

indirect jumps by sharing them between all opcodes. Such optimizations

can be disabled on gcc by using the -fno-gcse flag (or possibly

-fno-crossjumping).

/* Use Pentium timestamp counter to mark certain events:

inst0 -- beginning of switch statement for opcode dispatch

intr1 -- beginning of long interruption

Many opcodes call out to helper C functions. In some cases, the

time in those functions should be counted towards the time for the

opcode, but not in all cases. For example, a CALL_FUNCTION opcode

calls another Python function; there's no point in charge all the

bytecode executed by the called function to the caller.

It's hard to make a useful judgement statically. In the presence

of operator overloading, it's impossible to tell if a call will

execute new Python code or not.

It's a case-by-case judgement. I'll use intr1 for the following

cases:

IMPORT_STAR

IMPORT_FROM

CALL_FUNCTION (and friends)
