The InnoDB redo log used to be formatted in blocks of 512 bytes.
The log blocks were encrypted and the checksum was calculated while
holding log_sys.mutex, creating a serious scalability bottleneck.

We remove the fixed-size redo log block structure altogether and
essentially turn every mini-transaction into a log block of its own.
This allows encryption and checksum calculations to be performed
on local mtr_t::m_log buffers, before acquiring log_sys.mutex.
The mutex only protects a memcpy() of the data to the shared
log_sys.buf, as well as the padding of the log, in case the
to-be-written part of the log would not end in a block boundary of
the underlying storage. For now, the "padding" consists of writing
a single NUL byte, to allow recovery and mariadb-backup to detect
the end of the circular log faster.

Like the previous implementation, we will overwrite the last log block
over and over again, until it has been completely filled. It would be
possible to write only up to the last completed block (if no more
recent write was requested), or to write dummy FILE_CHECKPOINT records
to fill the incomplete block, by invoking the currently disabled
function log_pad(). This would require adjustments to some logic around
log checkpoints, page flushing, and shutdown.

An upgrade after a crash of any previous version is not supported.
Logically empty log files from a previous version will be upgraded.

An attempt to start up InnoDB without a valid ib_logfile0 will be
refused. Previously, the redo log used to be created automatically
if it was missing. Only with with innodb_force_recovery=6, it is
possible to start InnoDB in read-only mode even if the log file
does not exist. This allows the contents of a possibly corrupted
database to be dumped.

Because a prepared backup from an earlier version of mariadb-backup
will create a 0-sized log file, we will allow an upgrade from such
log files, provided that the FIL_PAGE_FILE_FLUSH_LSN in the system
tablespace looks valid.

The 512-byte log checkpoint blocks at 0x200 and 0x600 will be replaced
with 64-byte log checkpoint blocks at 0x1000 and 0x2000.

The start of log records will move from 0x800 to 0x3000. This allows us
to use 4096-byte aligned blocks for all I/O in a future revision.

We extend the MDEV-12353 redo log record format as follows.

(1) Empty mini-transactions or extra NUL bytes will not be allowed.
(2) The end-of-minitransaction marker (a NUL byte) will be replaced
with a 1-bit sequence number, which will be toggled each time when the
circular log file wraps back to the beginning.
(3) After the sequence bit, a CRC-32C checksum of all data
(excluding the sequence bit) will written.
(4) If the log is encrypted, 8 bytes will be written before
the checksum and included in it. This is part of the
initialization vector (IV) of encrypted log data.
(5) File names, page numbers, and checkpoint information will not be
encrypted. Only the payload bytes of page-level log will be encrypted.
The tablespace ID and page number will form part of the IV.
(6) For padding, arbitrary-length FILE_CHECKPOINT records may be written,
with all-zero payload, and with the normal end marker and checksum.
The minimum size is 7 bytes, or 7+8 with innodb_encrypt_log=ON.

In mariadb-backup and in Galera snapshot transfer (SST) scripts, we will
no longer remove ib_logfile0 or create an empty ib_logfile0. Server startup
will require a valid log file. When resizing the log, we will create
a logically empty ib_logfile101 at the current LSN and use an atomic rename
to replace ib_logfile0 with it. See the test innodb.log_file_size.

Because there is no mandatory padding in the log file, we are able
to create a dummy log file as of an arbitrary log sequence number.
See the test mariabackup.huge_lsn.

The parameter innodb_log_write_ahead_size and the
INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS counter log_padded will be removed.

The minimum value of innodb_log_buffer_size will be increased to 2MiB
(because log_sys.buf will replace recv_sys.buf) and the increment
adjusted to 4096 bytes (the maximum log block size).

The following INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS counters will be removed:

os_log_fsyncs
os_log_pending_fsyncs
log_pending_log_flushes
log_pending_checkpoint_writes

The following status variables will be removed:

Innodb_os_log_fsyncs (this is included in Innodb_data_fsyncs)
Innodb_os_log_pending_fsyncs (this was limited to at most 1 by design)

log_sys.get_block_size(): Return the physical block size of the log file.
This is only implemented on Linux and Microsoft Windows for now, and for
the power-of-2 block sizes between 64 and 4096 bytes (the minimum and
maximum size of a checkpoint block). If the block size is anything else,
the traditional 512-byte size will be used via normal file system
buffering.

If the file system buffers can be bypassed, a message like the following
will be issued:

InnoDB: File system buffers for log disabled (block size=512 bytes)
InnoDB: File system buffers for log disabled (block size=4096 bytes)

This has been tested on Linux and Microsoft Windows with both sizes.

On Linux, only enable O_DIRECT on the log for innodb_flush_method=O_DSYNC.
Tests in 3 different environments where the log is stored in a device
with a physical block size of 512 bytes are yielding better throughput
without O_DIRECT. This could be due to the fact that in the event the
last log block is being overwritten (if multiple transactions would
become durable at the same time, and each of will write a small
number of bytes to the last log block), it should be faster to re-copy
data from log_sys.buf or log_sys.flush_buf to the kernel buffer,
to be finally written at fdatasync() time.

The parameter innodb_flush_method=O_DSYNC will imply O_DIRECT for
data files. This option will enable O_DIRECT on the log file on Linux.
It may be unsafe to use when the storage device does not support
FUA (Force Unit Access) mode.

When the server is compiled WITH_PMEM=ON, we will use memory-mapped
I/O for the log file if the log resides on a "mount -o dax" device.
We will identify PMEM in a start-up message:

InnoDB: log sequence number 0 (memory-mapped); transaction id 3

On Linux, we will also invoke mmap() on any ib_logfile0 that resides
in /dev/shm, effectively treating the log file as persistent memory.
This should speed up "./mtr --mem" and increase the test coverage of
PMEM on non-PMEM hardware. It also allows users to estimate how much
the performance would be improved by installing persistent memory.
On other tmpfs file systems such as /run, we will not use mmap().

mariadb-backup: Eliminated several variables. We will refer
directly to recv_sys and log_sys.

backup_wait_for_lsn(): Detect non-progress of
xtrabackup_copy_logfile(). In this new log format with
arbitrary-sized blocks, we can only detect log file overrun
indirectly, by observing that the scanned log sequence number
is not advancing.

xtrabackup_copy_logfile(): On PMEM, do not modify the sequence bit,
because we are not allowed to modify the server's log file, and our
memory mapping is read-only.

trx_flush_log_if_needed_low(): Do not use the callback on pmem.
Using neither flush_lock nor write_lock around PMEM writes seems
to yield the best performance. The pmem_persist() calls may
still be somewhat slower than the pwrite() and fdatasync() based
interface (PMEM mounted without -o dax).

recv_sys_t::buf: Remove. We will use log_sys.buf for parsing.

recv_sys_t::MTR_SIZE_MAX: Replaces RECV_SCAN_SIZE.

recv_sys_t::file_checkpoint: Renamed from mlog_checkpoint_lsn.

recv_sys_t, log_sys_t: Removed many data members.

recv_sys.lsn: Renamed from recv_sys.recovered_lsn.
recv_sys.offset: Renamed from recv_sys.recovered_offset.
log_sys.buf_size: Replaces srv_log_buffer_size.

recv_buf: A smart pointer that wraps log_sys.buf[recv_sys.offset]
when the buffer is being allocated from the memory heap.

recv_ring: A smart pointer that wraps a circular log_sys.buf[] that is
backed by ib_logfile0. The pointer will wrap from recv_sys.len
(log_sys.file_size) to log_sys.START_OFFSET. For the record that
wraps around, we may copy file name or record payload data to
the auxiliary buffer decrypt_buf in order to have a contiguous
block of memory. The maximum size of a record is less than
innodb_page_size bytes.

recv_sys_t::parse(): Take the smart pointer as a template parameter.
Do not temporarily add a trailing NUL byte to FILE_ records, because
we are not supposed to modify the memory-mapped log file. (It is
attached in read-write mode already during recovery.)

recv_sys_t::parse_mtr(): Wrapper for recv_sys_t::parse().

recv_sys_t::parse_pmem(): Like parse_mtr(), but if PREMATURE_EOF would be
returned on PMEM, use recv_ring to wrap around the buffer to the start.

mtr_t::finish_write(), log_close(): Do not enforce log_sys.max_buf_free
on PMEM, because it has no meaning on the mmap-based log.

log_sys.write_to_buf: Count writes to log_sys.buf. Replaces
srv_stats.log_write_requests and export_vars.innodb_log_write_requests.
Protected by log_sys.mutex. Updated consistently in log_close().
Previously, mtr_t::commit() conditionally updated the count,
which was inconsistent.

log_sys.write_to_log: Count swaps of log_sys.buf and log_sys.flush_buf,
for writing to log_sys.log (the ib_logfile0). Replaces
srv_stats.log_writes and export_vars.innodb_log_writes.
Protected by log_sys.mutex.

log_sys.waits: Count waits in append_prepare(). Replaces
srv_stats.log_waits and export_vars.innodb_log_waits.

recv_recover_page(): Do not unnecessarily acquire
log_sys.flush_order_mutex. We are inserting the blocks in arbitary
order anyway, to be adjusted in recv_sys.apply(true).

We will change the definition of flush_lock and write_lock to
avoid potential false sharing. Depending on sizeof(log_sys) and
CPU_LEVEL1_DCACHE_LINESIZE, the flush_lock and write_lock could
share a cache line with each other or with the last data members
of log_sys.

Thanks to Matthias Leich for providing https://rr-project.org traces
for various failures during the development, and to
Thirunarayanan Balathandayuthapani for his help in debugging
some of the recovery code. And thanks to the developers of the
rr debugger for a tool without which extensive changes to InnoDB
would be very challenging to get right.

Thanks to Vladislav Vaintroub for useful feedback and
to him, Axel Schwenke and Krunal Bauskar for testing the performance.

Summary of changes

- MD_CTX_SIZE is increased

- EVP_CIPHER_CTX_buf_noconst(ctx) does not work anymore, points
  to nobody knows where. The assumption made previously was that
  (since the function does not seem to be documented)
  was that it points to the last partial source block.
  Add own partial block buffer for NOPAD encryption instead

- SECLEVEL in CipherString in openssl.cnf
  had been downgraded to 0, from 1, to make TLSv1.0 and TLSv1.1 possible
   (according to https://github.com/openssl/openssl/blob/openssl-3.0.0/NEWS.md
   even though the manual for SSL_CTX_get_security_level claims that it
   should not be necessary)

- Workaround Ssl_cipher_list issue, it now returns TLSv1.3 ciphers,
  in addition to what was set in --ssl-cipher

- ctx_buf buffer now must be aligned to 16 bytes with openssl(
  previously with WolfSSL only), ot crashes will happen

- updated aes-t , to be better debuggable
  using function, rather than a huge multiline macro
  added test that does "nopad" encryption piece-wise, to test
  replacement of EVP_CIPHER_CTX_buf_noconst

GCC does not understand that the variable have_ndv determines
whether the variable ndv_ll is initialized. Let us add a
redundant initialization to pacify GCC.

The test innodb.log_file_size would occasionally fail with
an assertion failure !buf_pool.any_io_pending(). Let us wait
for the page cleaner thread to become idle already in
srv_prepare_to_delete_redo_log_file(), like we used to.

MTR still uses JSON_HB as the default.

In Histogram_json_hb::point_selectivity(), do return selectivity of 0.0
when the histogram says so.

The logic of "Do not return 0.0 estimate as it causes a multiply-by-zero
meltdown in cost and cardinality calculations" is moved into
records_in_column_ranges() where it is one *once* per column pair (as
opposed to doing once per range, which can cause the error to add-up
to large number when there are many ranges)

Followup: remove this line from get_column_range_cardinality()

      set_if_bigger(res, col_stats->get_avg_frequency());

and make sure it is only used with the binary histograms.
For JSON histograms, it makes the estimates unnecessarily imprecise.

Added a testcase

Fix special handling for values that are right next to buckets with ndv=1.

Fix the code in Histogram_json_hb::range_selectivity that handles
special cases: a non-inclusive endpoint hitting a bucket boundary...

In read_bucket_endpoint(), handle all possible parser states.

Encode such characters in hex.

Save extra information in the histogram:

    "target_histogram_size": nnn,
    "collected_at": "(date and time)",
    "collected_by": "(server version)",

Also report JSON histogram load errors into error log, like it is already
done with other histogram/statistics load errors.

Add test coverage to see what happens if one upgrades but does NOT run
mysql_upgrade.

Previous JSON parser was using an API which made the parsing
inefficient: the same JSON contents was parsed again and again.

Switch to using a lower-level parsing API which allows to do
parsing in an efficient way.

- Make Histogram_json_hb::range_selectivity handle singleton buckets
  specially when computing selectivity of the max. endpoint bound.
  (for min. endpoint, we already do that).

- Also, fixed comments for Histogram_json_hb::find_bucket

When loading the histogram, use table->field[N], not table->s->field[N].

When we used the latter we would corrupt the fields's default value. One
of the consequences of that would be that AUTO_INCREMENT fields would
stop working correctly.

Handle the case where the last value in the table cannot be represented
in utf8mb4.

.. for non-existent values.

Handle this special case.

Fix a bug in position_in_interval(). Do not overwrite one interval endpoint
with another.

The problem was introduced in fix for MDEV-26724. That patch has made it
possible for histogram collection to fail. In particular, it fails for
non-assigned characters.

When histogram construction fails, we also abort the computation of
COUNT(DISTINCT). When we try to use the value, we get valgrind failures.

Switched the code to abort the statistics collection in this case.

When computing bucket_capacity= records/histogram->get_width(), round
the value UP, not down.

Part#3:
- make json_escape() return different errors on conversion error
  and on out-of-space condition.
- Make histogram code handle conversion errors.

Fix the description

Change it to LONGBLOB.
Also, update_statistics_for_table() should not "swallow" an error
from open_stat_tables.

.. part#2: correctly pass the charset to JSON [un]escape functions
