This is called by the runtime itself during interpreter shut-down. In
general, there shouldn't be a reason to explicitly call this, except to
handle specific scenarios such as forking.

.. c:function:: int PyUnstable_CopyPerfMapFile(const char *parent_filename)

Open the ``/tmp/perf-$pid.map`` file and append the content of *parent_filename*
to it.

This function is available on all platforms but only generates output on platforms
that support perf maps (currently only Linux). On other platforms, it does nothing.

.. versionadded:: 3.13

.. c:function:: int PyUnstable_PerfTrampoline_CompileCode(PyCodeObject *code)

Compile the given code object using the current perf trampoline.

The "current" trampoline is the one set by the runtime or the most recent
:c:func:`PyUnstable_PerfTrampoline_SetPersistAfterFork` call.

If no trampoline is set, falls back to normal compilation (no perf map entry).

:param code: The code object to compile.
:return: 0 on success, -1 on failure.

.. versionadded:: 3.13

.. c:function:: int PyUnstable_PerfTrampoline_SetPersistAfterFork(int enable)

Set whether the perf trampoline should persist after a fork.

* If ``enable`` is true (non-zero): perf map file remains open/valid post-fork.
Child process inherits all existing perf map entries.
* If ``enable`` is false (zero): perf map closes post-fork.
Child process gets empty perf map.

Default: false (clears on fork).

:param enable: 1 to enable, 0 to disable.
:return: 0 on success, -1 on failure.
