Problem: For every event read, mysqlbinlog calls localtime() which in turn calls stat(/etc/localtime) which is causing kernel mutex contention. Analysis and Fix: localtime() calls stat(/etc/localtime) for every instance of the call where as localtime_r() the reentrant version was optimized to store the read only tz internal structure. Hence it will not call stat(/etc/localtime). It will call only once at the beginning. The mysql server is calling localtime_r() and mysqlbinlog tool is one place where we are still using localtime(). Once the process (mysqlbinlog) is started if timezone is changed it will be not picked up the the process and it will continue with the same values as the beginning of the process. This behavior is in-lined with mysql server. Also adding localtime_r() and gmtime_r() support for windows.
