[3.14] gh-144503: Pass sys.argv to forkserver as real argv elements (GH-148194) (#148195)
Avoid embedding the parent's sys.argv into the forkserver -c command
string via repr(). When sys.argv is large (e.g. thousands of file
paths from a pre-commit hook), the resulting single argument could
exceed the OS per-argument length limit (MAX_ARG_STRLEN on Linux,
typically 128 KiB), causing posix_spawn to fail and the parent to
observe a BrokenPipeError.
Instead, append the argv entries as separate command-line arguments
after -c; the forkserver child reads them back as sys.argv[1:]. This
cannot exceed any limit the parent itself did not already satisfy.
Pre-create the Android emulator image so that the the configuration can be
modified to use 4GB of RAM.

gh-148144: Initialize visited on copied interpreter frames (GH-148143)
_PyFrame_Copy() copied interpreter frames into generator and
frame-object storage without initializing the visited byte. Incremental
GC later reads frame->visited in mark_stacks() on non-start passes, so
copied frames could expose an uninitialized value once they became live
on a thread stack again.
Reset visited when copying a frame so copied frames start with defined
GC bookkeeping state. Preserve lltrace in Py_DEBUG builds.

gh-148022: Add threat model to remote debugging docs (GH-148024)
The remote debugging protocol has been generating spurious
vulnerability reports from automated scanners that pattern-match
on "remote access" and "memory operations" without understanding
the privilege model. This section documents the security boundaries
so reporters can self-triage before submitting.
The threat model clarifies three points: attaching requires the
same OS-level privileges as GDB (ptrace, task_for_pid, or
SeDebugPrivilege), crashes caused by reading corrupted target
process memory are not security issues, and a compromised target
process is out of scope. A subsection explains when operators
should use PYTHON_DISABLE_REMOTE_DEBUG for defence-in-depth.

[3.14] gh-144438: Fix false sharing between QSBR and tlbc_index (gh-144554) (#144923)
Align the QSBR thread state array to a 64-byte cache line boundary
and add padding at the end of _PyThreadStateImpl. Depending on heap
layout, the QSBR array could end up sharing a cache line with a
thread's tlbc_index, causing QSBR quiescent state updates to contend
with reads of tlbc_index in RESUME_CHECK. This is sensitive to
earlier allocations during interpreter init and can appear or
disappear with seemingly unrelated changes.
Either change alone is sufficient to fix the specific issue, but both
are worthwhile to avoid similar problems in the future.

gh-145616: Detect Android sysconfig ABI correctly on 32-bit ARM Android on 64-bit ARM kernel (GH-145617)
When Python is running on 32-bit ARM Android on a 64-bit ARM kernel, `os.uname().machine` is `armv8l`. Such devices run the same userspace code as `armv7l` devices, so apply the same `armeabi_v7a` Android ABI to them, which works.
