bpo-31692, bpo-19527:
* Add a new PYTHONSHOWALLOCCOUNT environment variable, similar to
the Python 3 "-X showalloccount" option
* When Python is compiled with COUNT_ALLOCS, the new
PYTHONSHOWALLOCCOUNT environment variable now has to be set to dump
allocation counts into stderr on shutdown. Moreover, allocations
statistics are now dumped into stderr rather than stdout.
* Add @test.support.requires_type_collecting decorator: skip test if
COUNT_ALLOCS is defined
* Fix tests for COUNT_ALLOCS: decorate some methods with
@requires_type_collecting
* test_sys.test_objecttypes(): update object type when COUNT_ALLOCS
is defined
* [2.7] bpo-30765: Avoid blocking when PyThread_acquire_lock() is asked not to (GH-2403)
* bpo-30765: Avoid blocking when PyThread_acquire_lock() is asked not to lock
This is especially important if PyThread_acquire_lock() is called reentrantly
(for example from a signal handler).
* Update 2017-06-26-14-29-50.bpo-30765.Q5iBmf.rst
* Avoid core logic when taking the mutex failed.
(cherry picked from commit f84ac420c2)
* Remove test undef
Based on commit 5c4b0d063a by Ned
Deily, which is based on original patches by Brett Cannon and Steve
Dower.
Remove also the private _Py_svnversion() function and SVNVERSION
variable.
Note: Py_SubversionRevision() and Py_SubversionShortBranch() are
unchanged, they are part of the public API.
Issue #29188: Support glibc 2.24 on Linux: don't use getentropy() function but
read from /dev/urandom to get random bytes, for example in os.urandom(). On
Linux, getentropy() is implemented which getrandom() is blocking mode, whereas
os.urandom() should not block.
