5.1 SERVER

Problem was caused by the COM_CHANGE_USER parsing code. That code ignored
character set number passed in COM_CHANGE_USER packet. Instead
character_set_client values was used. User name was not converted at all.

Fixed by using passed character set number to convert both db and user names.
If COM_CHANGE_USER does not contain character set number then
character_set_client is used to convert both names.

This is a backport of the fix for:

Bug#13633549 HANDLE_FATAL_SIGNAL IN TEST_IF_SKIP_SORT_ORDER/CREATE_SORT_INDEX
Don't invoke the range optimizer for a NULL select.

SUITE FOR 5.1

SYS_VARS suite is not enabled in MTR by default
run. Enabling it with this check-in.

Some queries with the "SELECT ... FROM DUAL" nested subqueries
failed with an assertion on debug builds.
Non-debug builds were not affected.

There were a few different issues with similar assertion
failures on different queries:

1. The first problem was related to the incomplete propagation
of the "non-constant" item status from underlying subquery
items to the outer item tree: in some cases non-constants were
interpreted as constants and evaluated at the preparation stage
(val_int() calls withing fix_fields() etc).

Thus, the default implementation of Item_ref::const_item() from
the Item parent class didn't take into account the "const_item"
status of the referenced item tree -- it used the insufficient
"used_tables() == 0" check instead. This worked in most cases
since our "non-constant" functions like RAND() and SLEEP() set
the RAND_TABLE_BIT in the used table map, so they aren't
non-constant from Item_ref's "point of view". However, the
"SELECT ... FROM DUAL" subquery may have an empty map of used
tables, but at the same time subqueries are never "constant" at
the context analysis stage (preparation, view creation etc).
So, the non-contantness of such subqueries was missed.

Fix: the Item_ref::const_item() function has been overloaded to
take into account both (*ref)->const_item() status and tricky
Item_ref::used_tables() return values, since the only
(*ref)->const_item() call is not enough there.

2. In some cases instead of the const_item() call we check a
value of the Item::with_subselect field to recognize items
with nested subqueries. However, the Item_ref class didn't
propagate this value from the referenced item tree.

Fix: Item::has_subquery() and Item_ref::has_subquery()
functions have been backported from 5.6. All direct
references to the with_subselect fields of nested items have
been replaced with the has_subquery() function call.

3. The Item_func_regex class didn't propagate with_subselect
as well, since it overloads the Item_func::fix_fields()
function with insufficient fix_fields() implementation.

Fix: the Item_func_regex::fix_fields() function has been
modified to gather "constant" statuses from inner items.

4. The Item_func_isnull::update_used_tables() function has
a special branch for the underlying item where the maybe_null
value is false: in this case it marks the Item_func_isnull
as a "const_item" and sets the cached_value to false.
However, the Item_func_isnull::val_int() was not in sync with
update_used_tables(): it didn't take into account neither
const_item_cache nor cached_value for the case of
"args[0]->maybe_null == false optimization".
As far as such an Item_func_isnull has "const_item() == true",
it's ok to call Item_func_isnull::val_int() etc from outer
items on preparation stage. In this case the server tried to
call Item_func_isnull::args[0]->isnull(), and if the args[0]
item contained a nested not-nullable subquery, it failed
with an assertion.

Fix: take the value of Item_func_isnull::const_item_cache into
account in the val_int() function.

5. The auxiliary Item_is_not_null_test class has a similar
optimization in the update_used_tables() function as the
Item_func_isnull class has, and the same issue in the val_int()
function.
In addition to that the Item_is_not_null_test::update_used_tables()
doesn't update the const_item_cache value, so the "maybe_null"
optimization is useless there. Thus, we missed some optimizations
of cases like these (before and after the fix):
  <  <is_not_null_test>(a),
  ---
  >  <cache>(<is_not_null_test>(a)),
or
  < having (<is_not_null_test>(a) and <is_not_null_test>(a))
  ---
  > having 1
etc.

Fix: update Item_is_not_null_test::const_item_cache in
update_used_tables() and take in into account in val_int().

	       ON COL WITH COMPOSITE INDEX

This problem is caused by the patch for the bug#11751794.
While checking for the keypart covering non grouping attribute. we are not 
checking whether the root node of the SEL_ARG* tree for the index have any 
cvalue or not.

On a previous fix, user variables with zero length name were incorrectly
considered as event corruption, despite that them are allowed by server.

Fix this wrong assumption by allowing again user variables with zero
length on binary log.

PROPERLY QUOTED IN BINLOG FILE
Problem: In load data file query, User variables are allowed
inside "Into_list" and "Set_list". These user variables used
inside these two lists are not properly guarded with backticks
while server is writting into binlog. Hence user variable names
like a` cannot be used in this context.

Fix: Properly quote these variables while
writting into binlog

Backporting bug patch from 5.5 to 5.1.
This fix is applicable to BUG#14362617 as well

               CERTAIN LEVEL
      
Problem description: mysqld crashes when we update the max_connections 
variable to lesser value than the number of currently open connections.
      
Analysis: The "alarm_queue.max_elements" size will be decided at the 
server start time and it will get modified if we change max_connections 
value. In the current scenario the value of "alarm_queue.max_elements" 
is decremented when the max_connections is set to 2. When updating the  
"alarm_queue.max_elements" value we are not updating "max_used_alarms" 
value. Hence, instead of getting the warning "thr_alarm queue is full" 
it is ending up in asserting the server at the time of inserting new 
elements in the queue.
      
Fix: the fix is to dynamically increase the size of the alarm_queue.
In order to do that, queue_insert_safe() should be used instead if
queue_insert().

some callers for page_zip_empty_size() ignored possibility its returning 0, and could cause underflow.

RATHER THAN A TABLE

Problem: In RBR, If a table is converted into a view at slave,
(i.e., "drop table 'object1'" & "create view 'object1'"), then any
DML operations on the table at master are causing crash at slave.

Analysis: Slave prepares tables to be opened for DML list when it
receives Table_map_log_event(s). And the same list will be sent to
open_table function. Open_table logic assumes that if the list
contains a view object, it also contains "select_lex" object of
that view. In the above special case, the table object does not
contain 'select_lex' as it is base table at master. Since it
is a view at slave, open_table logic goes to 'mysql_make_view()'
function which assumes that 'select_lex' exists for the object.

Fix: While preparing 'tables to be opened' list, we should make 
sure that table required type is 'base table'. If it is not 
base table while opening the object, mysql_make_view will throw an 
error similar to 'object is not a base table' 

Problem: When a view, with a specific character set and collation, 
is created on another view with a different character set and collation the 
dump restoration results in an illegal mix of collations error.
SOLUTION: To avoid this confusion of collations, the create table datatype 
being used is hardcoded as "tinyint NOT NULL". This will not matter as the table 
created will be dropped at runtime and specifically tinyint is used to 
avoid hitting the row size conflicts.

Consider the following query:

SELECT f_1,..,f_m, AGGREGATE_FN(C)
FROM t1
WHERE ...
GROUP BY ...

Loose index scan ("Using index for group-by") can be used for
this query if there is an index 'i' covering all fields in the
select list, and the GROUP BY clause makes up a prefix f1,...,fn
of 'i'. Furthermore, according to rule NGA2 of
get_best_group_min_max(), the WHERE clause must contain a
conjunction of equality predicates for all fields fn+1,...,fm.

The problem in this bug was that a query with WHERE clause that
broke NGA2 was not detected and therefore used loose index scan.
This lead to wrong result. The query had an index
covering (c1,c2) and had:
  "WHERE (c1 = 1 AND c2 = 'a') OR (c1 = 2 AND c2 = 'b')
   GROUP BY c1"
or 
  "WHERE (c1 = 1 ) OR (c1 = 2 AND c2 = 'b')
   GROUP BY c1"


This WHERE clause cannot be transformed to a conjunction of
equality predicates.

The solution is to introduce another rule, NGA3, that complements
NGA2. NGA3 says that if a gap field (field between those
listed in GROUP BY and C in the index) has a predicate, then
there can only be one range in the query. This requirement is
more strict than it has to be in theory. BUG 15947433 will deal
with that.

Problem:-
In case of blob data field, UNION ALL doesn't give correct result.

Analysis:-
In MyISAM table, when we dont want to check for the distinct for particular 
key, we set the key_map to zero.

While writing record in MyISAM table, we check the distinct with the help 
of keys, by checking whether that key is active in key_map and then writing 
the record.

In case of blob field, we are checking for distinct by unique constraint, 
where we are not checking whether that unique key is active or not in key_map.

Solution:-
Before checking for distinct, check whether any key is active in key_map.

Analysis:
--------

REPLACE operation provides incorrect output when
user variable is supplied as an argument and there
are multiple rows on which the operation is performed.

Consider the example below:

SET @var='(( 00000000 ++ 00000000 ))';
SELECT REPLACE(@var, '00000000', table_name) AS a FROM
INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA='mysql';

Invalid output:
  +---------------------------------------+
  | REPLACE(@var, '00000000', TABLE_NAME) |
  +---------------------------------------+
  | (( columns_priv ++ columns_priv ))    |
  | (( columns_priv ++ columns_priv ))    |
      ......
      ......
  | (( columns_priv ++ columns_priv ))    |
  | (( columns_priv ++ columns_priv ))    |
  | (( columns_priv ++ columns_priv ))    |
  +---------------------------------------+

The user argument supplied as the string to REPLACE
operation is overwritten after the first iteration
to '(( columns_priv ++ columns_priv ))'.
The overwritten string after the first iteration
is used for the subsequent REPLACE iteration. Since
the pattern string is not found, it returns invalid
output as mentioned above.

Fix:
---
If the Alloced_length is zero, realloc() and create a
copy of the string which is then used for the REPLACE
operation for every iteration.

               INCLUDES FIRST PARTITION WHEN PRUNING


PROBLEM
-------

TO_DAYS()/TO_SECONDS() can return NULL for invalid dates which 
was stored in the first partition ,therefore the first partition 
was always included for the scan when range was specified.


FIX
---

The fix is a small optimization which we have included ,which will
prune the scanning of NULL/first partition if the dates specified 
in the range are valid and in the same year and month . TO_SECONDS()
function is not supported in 5.1 so removed it from the fix and test
scripts for mysql-5.1 version.

              INCORRECT RESULTS

This is a backport of fix for Bug#13068506.

              AVAILABLE MEMORY IS TOO LOW 

Analysis:
---------
In function "mysql_make_view", "table->view" is initialized
after parsing(using File_parser::parse) the view definition.
If "::parse" function fails then control is moved to label 
"err:". Here we have assert (table->view == thd->lex). 
This assert fails if "::parse" function fails, as 
table->view is not initialized yet.

File_parser::parse fails if data being parsed is incorrect/
corrupted or when memory allocation fails. In this scenario
its failing because of failure in memory allocation.

Fix:
---------
In case of failure in function "File_parser::parse", moving
to label "err:" is incorrect. Modified code to move
to label "end:".

Backport fix from mysql-5.6.

    I_MAIN.CTYPE_UTF8 FOR MACOSX10.6 FOR 5.1

While converting directory name to filename, a
file separator (FN_LIBCHAR) might get appended
to the resulting file name. This can result in
off-by-one error when length of the input string
is equal to FN_REFLEN. In this case, the terminating
'\0' gets written beyond the buffer allocated to store
the result.

Fixed by incrementing the dst buffer size by 1. As
extra safety, switched to strnmov() and added a debug
assert to check the length of the input file name.

No test case added as the scenario is already
covered by the test cases added for bugs in
the description.

Problem:If Disk becomes full while writing into the binlog,
then the server instance hangs till someone frees the space.
After user frees up the disk space, mysql server crashes
with an assert (m_status != DA_EMPTY)

Analysis: wait_for_free_space is being called in an
infinite loop i.e., server instance will hang until
someone frees up the space. So there is no need to
set status bit in diagnostic area.

Fix: Replace my_error/my_printf_error with
sql_print_warning() which prints the warning in error log.
