Header files that are considered internal to the py core and should not
normally be included directly are:
py/nlr.h - internal nlr configuration and declarations
py/bc0.h - contains bytecode macro definitions
py/runtime0.h - contains basic runtime enums
Instead, the top-level header files to include are one of:
py/obj.h - includes runtime0.h and defines everything to use the
mp_obj_t type
py/runtime.h - includes mpstate.h and hence nlr.h, obj.h, runtime0.h,
and defines everything to use the general runtime support functions
Additional, specific headers (eg py/objlist.h) can be included if needed.
This is to keep the top-level directory clean, to make it clear what is
core and what is a port, and to allow the repository to grow with new ports
in a sustainable way.
Running Python code on a hard interrupt is incompatible with having a GIL,
because most of the time the GIL will be held by the user thread when the
interrupt arrives. Hard interrupts mean that we should process them right
away and hence can't wait until the GIL is released.
The problem with the current code is that a hard interrupt will try to
exit/enter the GIL while it is still held by the user thread, hence leading
to a deadlock.
This patch works around such a problem by just making GIL exit/enter a
no-op when in an interrupt context, or when interrupts are disabled.
See issue #2406.
