Subject: gh-151278: Fix test_faulthandler on UBSan (#151279)
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e60c42dc3f5a8dd9b10bc9a8a028ef2765469650;p=thirdparty%2FPython%2Fcpython.git

gh-151278: Fix test_faulthandler on UBSan (#151279)

* Py_FatalError() no longer calls _PyFaulthandler_Fini() if it
  doesn't hold the GIL.
* Skip test_faulthandler tests raising signals if run with UBSan.
* Enable test_faulthandler in GitHub Action "Reusable Sanitizer".
