Issue #28618: Make hot functions using __attribute__((hot))
When Python is not compiled with PGO, the performance of Python on call_simple and call_method microbenchmarks depend highly on the code placement. In the worst case, the performance slowdown can be up to 70%. The GCC __attribute__((hot)) attribute helps to keep hot code close to reduce the risk of such major slowdown. This attribute is ignored when Python is compiled with PGO. The following functions are considered as hot according to statistics collected by perf record/perf report: * _PyEval_EvalFrameDefault() * call_function() * _PyFunction_FastCall() * PyFrame_New() * frame_dealloc() * PyErr_Occurred()
