+
+ Fix Python3.9 related runtime problems
+
+ Python3.9b1 is now available on Rawhide. GDB w/ Python 3.9 support
+ can be built using the configure switch -with-python=/usr/bin/python3.9.
+
+ Attempting to run gdb/Python3.9 segfaults on startup:
+
+ #0 0x00007ffff7b0582c in PyEval_ReleaseLock () from /lib64/libpython3.9
+.so.1.0
+ #1 0x000000000069ccbf in do_start_initialization ()
+ at worktree-test1/gdb/python/python.c:1789
+ #2 _initialize_python ()
+ at worktree-test1/gdb/python/python.c:1877
+ #3 0x00000000007afb0a in initialize_all_files () at init.c:237
+ ...
+
+ Consulting the the documentation...
+
+ https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/init.html
+
+ ...we find that PyEval_ReleaseLock() has been deprecated since version
+ 3.2. It recommends using PyEval_SaveThread or PyEval_ReleaseThread()
+ instead. In do_start_initialization, in gdb/python/python.c, we
+ can replace the calls to PyThreadState_Swap() and PyEval_ReleaseLock()
+ with a single call to PyEval_SaveThread. (Thanks to Keith Seitz
+ for working this out.)
+
+ With that in place, GDB gets a little bit further. It still dies
+ on startup, but the backtrace is different:
+
+ #0 0x00007ffff7b04306 in PyOS_InterruptOccurred ()
+ from /lib64/libpython3.9.so.1.0

+ ...
+
+ We checked with some Python Developers and were told that we should
+ acquire the GIL prior to calling any Python C API function. We
+ definitely don't have the GIL for calls of PyOS_InterruptOccurred().
+
+ I moved class_gdbpy_gil earlier in the file and use it in
+ gdbpy_check_quit_flag() to acquire (and automatically release) the
+ GIL.
+
+ With those changes in place, I was able to run to a GDB prompt. But,
+ when trying to quit, it segfaulted again due to due to some other
+ problems with gdbpy_check_quit_flag():
+
+ Thread 1 "gdb" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
+ 0x00007ffff7bbab0c in new_threadstate () from /lib64/libpython3.9.so.1.0
+ (top-gdb) bt 8
+ #0 0x00007ffff7bbab0c in new_threadstate () from /lib64/libpython3.9.so.1.0
+ #1 0x00007ffff7afa5ea in PyGILState_Ensure.cold ()
+ from /lib64/libpython3.9.so.1.0
+ #2 0x000000000069b58c in gdbpy_gil::gdbpy_gil (this=<synthetic pointer>)
+ at worktree-test1/gdb/python/python.c:278
+ #3 gdbpy_check_quit_flag (extlang=<optimized out>)
+ at worktree-test1/gdb/python/python.c:278
+ #4 0x0000000000576e96 in check_quit_flag ()
+ at worktree-test1/gdb/extension.c:776
+ #5 0x000000000057700c in restore_active_ext_lang (previous=0xe9c050)

+ at worktree-test1/gdbsupport/cleanups.cc:131
+ #7 do_final_cleanups ()
+ at worktree-test1/gdbsupport/cleanups.cc:143
+
+ In this case, we're trying to call a Python C API function after
+ Py_Finalize() has been called from finalize_python(). I made
+ finalize_python set gdb_python_initialized to false and then cause
+ check_quit_flag() to return early when it's false.
+
+ With these changes in place, GDB seems to be working again with
+ Python3.9b1. I think it likely that there are other problems lurking.
+ I wouldn't be surprised to find that there are other calls into Python
+ where we don't first make sure that we have the GIL. Further changes
+ may well be needed.
+
+ I see no regressions testing on Rawhide using a GDB built with the
+ default Python version (3.8.3) versus one built using Python 3.9b1.
+
+ I've also tested on Fedora 28, 29, 30, 31, and 32 (all x86_64) using
+ the default (though updated) system installed versions of Python on
+ those OSes. This means that I've tested against Python versions
+ 2.7.15, 2.7.17, 2.7.18, 3.7.7, 3.8.2, and 3.8.3. In each case GDB
+ still builds without problem and shows no regressions after applying
+ this patch.

+ gdb/ChangeLog:
+
+ 2020-MM-DD Kevin Buettner <kevinb@redhat.com>
+ Keith Seitz <keiths@redhat.com>
+
+ * python/python.c (do_start_initialization): For Python 3.9 and
+ later, call PyEval_SaveThread instead of PyEval_ReleaseLock.
+ (class gdbpy_gil): Move to earlier in file.
+ (finalize_python): Set gdb_python_initialized.
+ (gdbpy_check_quit_flag): Acquire GIL via gdbpy_gil. Return early
+ when not initialized.
