The kernel has, for many years, had the ability to control how memory
allocation is performed in systems with multiple NUMA nodes. More
recently, NUMA nodes have also been pressed into service to represent
different classes of memory; those nodes are now organized into tiers
according to their performance characteristics. While memory-allocation
policies can control the placement of pages at the NUMA-node level, the
kernel provides no way to connect those policies with memory tiers. This
patch series from Gregory Price aims to change this situation by
allowing allocations to be placed across tiers in a weighted manner.

The Python Steering Council has posted a
detailed plan for the addition of “free-threaded” (no global
interpreter lock) support into the Python mainline. It will not be a short
process and does not have a guaranteed successful outcome.

Phase I: Experimental phase, which can start immediately, in which
the free-threaded build is enabled through a build-time
option. This should not be the default install anywhere. At least
one major Python release should include this experimental
free-threaded build, to allow third-party packages to test and do
their own experimentation. In this stage we should make it clear
the build is experimental, not supported for “production use”, and
may be reverted.
