We can receive signals (at the C level, in `trip_signal()` in signalmodule.c) while `signal.signal` is being called to modify the corresponding handler. Later when `PyErr_CheckSignals()` is called to handle the given signal, the handler may be a non-callable object and would raise a cryptic asynchronous exception.
From the commit message:

From the SQLite 3.5.3 changelog:
sqlite3_step() returns SQLITE_MISUSE instead of crashing when called
with a NULL parameter.
The workaround no longer needed because we no longer support
SQLite releases older than 3.7.15.
When very large data remains in TextIOWrapper, flush() may fail forever.
So prevent that data larger than chunk_size is remained in TextIOWrapper internal
buffer.

Pass the current interpreter (interp) rather than the current Python
thread state (tstate) to internal functions which only use the
interpreter.
Modified functions:
* _PyXXX_Fini() and _PyXXX_ClearFreeList() functions
* _PyEval_SignalAsyncExc(), make_pending_calls()
* _PySys_GetObject(), sys_set_object(), sys_set_object_id(), sys_set_object_str()
* should_audit(), set_flags_from_config(), make_flags()
* _PyAtExit_Call()
* init_stdio_encoding()
* etc.
Replace _PyThreadState_GET() with _PyInterpreterState_GET() in
functions which only need the current interpreter, but don't need the
current Python thread state.
Replace also _PyThreadState_UncheckedGet() with _PyThreadState_GET()
in faulthandler.c, since _PyThreadState_UncheckedGet() is just an
alias to _PyThreadState_GET() in practice.
bpo-43172: readline now passes its tests when built against libedit.
Existing irreconcilable API differences remain in readline.get_begidx
and readline.get_endidx behavior based on libreadline vs libedit use.
A note about that has been documented.
In contrast to macOS, libedit is available as its own include file and
library on Linux systems to prevent file name clashes. So if both
libraries are available on the system, readline is currently chosen by
default; and if only libedit is available, it is not found at all. This
patch adds a way to link against libedit by adding the following
arguments to configure:
--with-readline link against libreadline (the default)
--with-readline=editline link against libeditline
--with-readline=no disable building the readline module
--without-readline (same)
The runtime detection of libedit vs. readline was already done in commit
7105319ada (2019-12-04, serge-sans-paille: "bpo-38634: Allow
non-apple build to cope with libedit (GH-16986)").
Fixes: GH-12076 ("bpo-13501 Build or disable readline with Editline")
Fixes: bpo-13501 ("Make libedit support more generic; port readline / libedit to FreeBSD")

PyObject_RichCompareBool() returns -1 on error, but this case is
not handled by the find_in_strong_cache() function. Any exception
raised by PyObject_RichCompareBool() should be propagated.
* bpo-42979: Enhance abstract.c assertions checking slot result
Add _Py_CheckSlotResult() function which fails with a fatal error if
a slot function succeeded with an exception set or failed with no
exception set: write the slot name, the type name and the current
exception (if an exception is set).
