Makes the zlib module thread-safe free-threading build. Even though operations
are protected by locks, attributes exposed via PyMemberDef (eof, needs_input,
unused_data, unconsumed_tail) should still be stored atomically within locked
sections, since they can be read without acquiring the lock.

gh-142534: Avoid TSan warnings in dictobject.c (gh-142544)
There are places we use "relaxed" loads where C11 requires "consume" or
stronger. Unfortunately, compilers don't really implement "consume" so
fake it for our use in a way that avoids upsetting TSan.

If there are many untracked tuples, the GC will run too often, resulting
in poor performance. The fix is to include untracked tuples in the
"long lived" object count. The number of frozen objects is also now
included since the free-threaded GC must scan those too.

gh-112527: Fix help text for required options in argparse (GH-112528)

gh-142342: Fix m68k assembler operand constraints for `%fpcr` access (gh-142343)
On m68k, an fmove instruction accessing %fpcr may only move from
or to a data register or a memory operand. The constraint "g" also
permits the use of address registers, which is invalid. The correct
constraint is "dm". Beginning with GCC 15, the register allocator
picks an address register in the code which causes SIGILL during
runtime.

gh-140727: Restructure profiling documentation for PEP 799 (#142373)
* Add profiling module documentation structure
PEP 799 introduces a new `profiling` package that reorganizes Python's
profiling tools under a unified namespace. This commit adds the documentation
structure to match: a main entry point (profiling.rst) that helps users choose
between profilers, detailed docs for the tracing profiler (profiling-tracing.rst),
and separated pstats documentation.
The tracing profiler docs note that cProfile remains as a backward-compatible
alias, so existing code continues to work. The pstats module gets its own page
since it's used by both profiler types and deserves focused documentation.
* Add profiling.sampling documentation
The sampling profiler is new in Python 3.15 and works fundamentally differently
from the tracing profiler. It observes programs from outside by periodically
capturing stack snapshots, which means zero overhead on the profiled code. This
makes it practical for production use where you can attach to live servers.
The docs explain the key concepts (statistical vs deterministic profiling),
provide quick examples upfront, document all output formats (pstats, flamegraph,
gecko, heatmap), and cover the live TUI mode. The defaults table helps users
understand what happens without any flags.
* Wire profiling docs into the documentation tree
Add the new profiling module pages to the Debugging and Profiling toctree.
The order places the main profiling.rst entry point first, followed by the
two profiler implementations, then pstats, and finally the deprecated profile
module last.
* Convert profile.rst to deprecation stub
The pure Python profile module is deprecated in 3.15 and scheduled for removal
in 3.17. Users should migrate to profiling.tracing (or use the cProfile alias
which continues to work).
The page now focuses on helping existing users migrate: it shows the old vs new
import style, keeps the shared API reference since both modules have the same
interface, and preserves the calibration docs for anyone still using the pure
Python implementation during the transition period.
* Update CLI module references for profiling restructure
Point cProfile to profiling.tracing docs and add profiling.sampling to the
list of modules with CLI interfaces. The old profile-cli label no longer
exists after the documentation restructure.
* Update whatsnew to link to profiling module docs
Enable cross-references to the new profiling module documentation and update
the CLI examples to use the current syntax with the attach subcommand. Also
reference profiling.tracing instead of cProfile since that's the new canonical
name.

gh-138122: Make sampling profiler integration tests more resilient (#142382)
The tests were flaky on slow machines because subprocesses could finish
before enough samples were collected. This adds synchronization similar
to test_external_inspection: test scripts now signal when they start
working, and the profiler waits for this signal before sampling.
Test scripts now run in infinite loops until killed rather than for
fixed iterations, ensuring the profiler always has active work to
sample regardless of machine speed.
gh-138122: Implement frame caching in RemoteUnwinder to reduce memory reads (#142137)
This PR implements frame caching in the RemoteUnwinder class to significantly reduce memory reads when profiling remote processes with deep call stacks.
When cache_frames=True, the unwinder stores the frame chain from each sample and reuses unchanged portions in subsequent samples. Since most profiling samples capture similar call stacks (especially the parent frames), this optimization avoids repeatedly reading the same frame data from the target process.
The implementation adds a last_profiled_frame field to the thread state that tracks where the previous sample stopped. On the next sample, if the current frame chain reaches this marker, the cached frames from that point onward are reused instead of being re-read from remote memory.
The sampling profiler now enables frame caching by default.
