    MDEV-31558 Add InnoDB engine information to the slow query log · 99bd2260
    Monty authored
    The new statistics is enabled by adding the "engine", "innodb" or "full"
    option to --log-slow-verbosity
    
    Example output:
    
     # Pages_accessed: 184  Pages_read: 95  Pages_updated: 0  Old_rows_read: 1
     # Pages_read_time: 17.0204  Engine_time: 248.1297
    
    Page_read_time is time doing physical reads inside a storage engine.
    (Writes cannot be tracked as these are usually done in the background).
    Engine_time is the time spent inside the storage engine for the full
    duration of the read/write/update calls. It uses the same code as
    'analyze statement' for calculating the time spent.
    
    The engine statistics is done with a generic interface that should be
    easy for any engine to use. It can also easily be extended to provide
    even more statistics.
    
    Currently only InnoDB has counters for Pages_% and Undo_% status.
    Engine_time works for all engines.
    
    Implementation details:
    
    class ha_handler_stats holds all engine stats.  This class is included
    in handler and THD classes.
    While a query is running, all statistics is updated in the handler. In
    close_thread_tables() the statistics is added to the THD.
    
    handler::handler_stats is a pointer to where statistics should be
    collected. This is set to point to handler::active_handler_stats if
    stats are requested. If not, it is set to 0.
    handler_stats has also an element, 'active' that is 1 if stats are
    requested. This is to allow engines to avoid doing any 'if's while
    updating the statistics.
    
    Cloned or partition tables have the pointer set to the base table if
    status are requested.
    
    There is a small performance impact when using --log-slow-verbosity=engine:
    - All engine calls in 'select' will be timed.
    - IO calls for InnoDB reads will be timed.
    - Incrementation of counters are done on local variables and accesses
      are inline, so these should have very little impact.
    - Statistics has to be reset for each statement for the THD and each
      used handler. This is only 40 bytes, which should be neglectable.
    - For partition tables we have to loop over all partitions to update
      the handler_status as part of table_init(). Can be optimized in the
      future to only do this is log-slow-verbosity changes. For this to work
      we have to update handler_status for all opened partitions and
      also for all partitions opened in the future.
    
    Other things:
    - Added options 'engine' and 'full' to log-slow-verbosity.
    - Some of the new files in the test suite comes from Percona server, which
      has similar status information.
    - buf_page_optimistic_get(): Do not increment any counter, since we are
      only validating a pointer, not performing any buf_pool.page_hash lookup.
    - Added THD argument to save_explain_data_intern().
    - Switched arguments for save_explain_.*_data() to have
      always THD first (generates better code as other functions also have THD
      first).
