The JIT optimizer now supports significantly more operations than in 3.14.
(Contributed by Kumar Aditya, Ken Jin, Jiahao Li, and Sacul in :gh:`131798`.)

.. rubric:: GDB and GNU ``backtrace()`` unwinding support

The JIT compiler now publishes unwind information for generated machine code to the
GDB interface on supported Linux ELF platforms. When libgcc frame
registration is available, the same unwind information is also registered for
GNU ``backtrace()`` stack walkers. This allows native debuggers, crash
handlers, and diagnostic tools using these mechanisms to unwind through JIT
frames instead of stopping at generated code.

.. rubric:: Better machine code generation

The JIT compiler's machine code generator now produces better machine code
