IN QUERY CACHE CODE

DESCRIPTION:
MySQL Server crashes sporadically when Query Caching is on and
the server has high contention among clients. 


ANALYSIS :

Scenario 1:
In Query_cache::move_by_type() when handling RESULT or its related blocks,
Write Lock is acquired on its parent Query block. However the next and prev
pointers are cached in local variables before lock acquisition. In an extremely
high contention scenario there exists a possibility that
Query_cache::append_result_data() is operating on the same query block
and as a consequence might append a new Result block to the end of Result
blocks Linked List of the Query. This would manipulate the next, prev pointers
of the Block being processed in move_by_type(), however the local pointers
still point to previous nodes there by causing Data Corruption leading to crash.

FIX :

Scenario 1:
The next, prev pointers are now accessed only after Lock acquisition in 
Query_cache::move_by_type().

SAME VERSION NUMBER 1.0.17

Now that InnoDB/InnoDB Plugin is no longer separately developed and
distributed from the MySQL server it does not need its own version number.
Thus use the MySQL version instead.

"Removing" the version altogether is not feasible because the config
variable 'innodb_version' cannot be removed in GA branches.

BUF_PAGE_GET_GEN REDUNDANT?

rb://1711
approved by: Marko Makela

When decompressing a compressed page that had already been accessed
in the buffer pool, do not attempt to merge buffered changes.

File names with colon are being disallowed because of the Alternate Data 
Stream (ADS) feature of NTFS that could be misused. ADS allows data to be 
written to alternate streams of a normal file. The data in alternate 
streams cannot be seen by normal tools on Windows (explorer, cmd.exe). As 
a result someone can use this feature to hide large amount of data in 
alternate streams and admins will have no easy way of figuring out the 
files that are using that disk space. The fix also disallows ADS in the 
scenarios where file name is passed as some dynamic variable.

An important thing about the fix is that it DOES NOT disallow ADS file 
names if they are not dynamic (i.e. if the file is created by using some 
option that needs local access to the MySQL server, for example error log
file). The reasoning is that if some MySQL option related to files 
requires access to the local machine (it is not dynamic), then user can very 
well create data in ADS by some other means. This fixes only those scenarios 
which can allow users to create data in ADS over the wire.

File names with colon are being disallowed only on Windows. UNIX 
(Linux in particular) supports NTFS, but it will not be a common 
scenario for someone to configure a NTFS file system to store MySQL 
data on Linux.

Changes in file bug11761752-master.opt are needed due to 
bug number 15937938.

The error code returned from Merge file/Temp file creation functions are
ignored.

Use the return codes of the row_merge_file_create() and innobase_mysql_tmpfile()
to return the error to caller if file creation fails.

              DOPROCESSREPLY()

Description: Function DoProcessReply() calls function
             decrypt_message() in a while loop without
             performing a check on available buffer
             space. This can cause buffer overflow and
             crash the server. This patch is fix provided
             by Sawtooth to resolve the issue.

ROBUST AGAINST BUGS IN CALLERS".

Both MDL subsystems and Table Definition Cache code assume 
that callers ensure that names of objects passed to them are 
not longer than NAME_LEN bytes. Unfortunately due to bugs in 
callers this assumption might be broken in some cases. As
result we get nasty bugs causing buffer overruns when we
construct MDL key or TDC key from object names.

This patch makes TDC code more robust against such bugs by 
ensuring that we always checking size of result buffer when
constructing TDC keys. This doesn't free its callers from 
ensuring that both db and table names are shorter than 
NAME_LEN bytes. But at least this steps prevents buffer 
overruns in case of bug in caller, replacing them with less 
harmful behavior.

This is 5.1-only version of patch.

This patch introduces new version of create_table_def_key()
helper function which constructs TDC key without risk of
result buffer overrun. Places in code that construct TDC keys 
were changed to use this function.

Also changed rm_temporary_table() and open_new_frm() functions
to avoid use of "unsafe" strmov() and strxmov() functions and 
use safer strnxmov() instead.

Problem:

Before the ALTER TABLE statement, the array
dict_index_t::stat_n_diff_key_vals had proper values calculated
and updated.  But after the ALTER TABLE statement, all the values
of this array is 0.  

Because of this statistics returned by innodb_rec_per_key() is
different before and after the ALTER TABLE statement. Running the
ANALYZE TABLE command populates the statistics correctly.

Solution:

After ALTER TABLE statement, set the flag dict_table_t::stat_initialized
correctly so that the table statistics will be recalculated properly when
the table is next loaded.  But note that we still don't choose the loose
index scans.  This fix only ensures that an ALTER TABLE does not change
the optimizer plan.

BUG#15872504 - REMOVE MYSQL-TEST/INCLUDE/GET_BINLOG_DUMP_THREAD_ID.INC
            
=== Problem ===
            
The file named "mysql-test/include/get_binlog_dump_thread_id.inc" is not 
used anywhere. In any case, this file does wrong things in the wrong way:
1) The file seems to assume there is only one dump thread, but there may 
   be many.
2) you can get this information in a much easier way using the command:
   "select thread_id from threads where processlist_command="Binlog Dump";"

Using too long table aliases in stored routines might
have caused server crashes.

Code in sp_head::merge_table_list() which is responsible 
for collecting information about tables used in stored
routine was not aware of the fact that table alias might
have arbitrary length. I.e. it assumed that table alias
can't be longer than NAME_LEN bytes and allocated buffer
for a key identifying table accordingly.

This patch fixes the issue by ensuring that we use
dynamically allocated buffer for table key when table
alias is too long. By default stack based buffer is used
in which NAME_LEN bytes are reserved for table alias.

      
=== Problem ===
      
The test is dependent on binlog positions and checks
to see if the command 'START SLAVE' functions correctly
with the 'UNTIL' clause added to it. The 'UNTIL' clause
is added to specify that the slave should start and run
until the SQL thread reaches a given point in the master
binary log or in the slave relay log.
      
The test uses hard coded values for MASTER_LOG_POS and
RELAY_LOG_POS, instead of extracting it using
query_get_value() function. There is a test
'rpl.rpl_row_until' which does the similar thing but uses 
query_get_value() function to set the values of
MASTER_LOG_POS/ RELAY_LOG_POS. To be precise,
rpl.rpl_row_until is a modified version of
engines/func.rpl_row_until.test.
      
The use of hard coded values may lead the slave to stop at a position
which may differ from the expected position in the binlog file,
an example being the failure of engines/funcs.rpl_row_until in 
mysql-5.1 given as: 
"query 'select * from t2' failed. Table 'test.t2' doesn't exist".
In this case, the slave actually ran a couple of extra commands
as a result of which the slave first deleted the table and then
ran a select query on table, leading to the above mentioned failure.
      
=== Fix ===
    
1) Fixed the code for failure seen in rpl.rpl_row_until.
   This test was also failing although the symptoms of
   failure were different.
2) Copied the contents from rpl.rpl_row_until into
   into engines/funcs.rpl.rpl_row_until.

Description: A very large database name causes buffer

Our dealing of buf_page_t::access_time flag is inaccurate.
* If LRU eviction has not started we don't set the access_time
* If LRU eviction is started we set it only if the block is not
'too old'.
* Not a correctness issue but we hold buf_pool::mutex when
setting the flag

This patch fixes this by:
* Setting flag unconditionally whenever the first page access happens
* Use buf_page_t mutex to protect write to the flag

The problem is related to the changes made in bug#13025132.
get_partition_set can do dynamic pruning which limits the partitions
to scan even further. This is not accounted for when setting
the correct start of the preallocated record buffer used in
the priority queue, thus leading to wrong buffer is used
(including wrong preset partitioning id, connected to that buffer).

Solution is to fast forward the buffer pointer to point to the correct
partition record buffer.

Remove a bogus debug assertion.

CHAR(n) in ROW_FORMAT=REDUNDANT tables is always fixed-length
(n*mbmaxlen bytes), but in the temporary file it is variable-length
(n*mbminlen to n*mbmaxlen bytes) for variable-length character sets,
such as UTF-8.

The temporary file format used during index creation and online ALTER
TABLE is based on ROW_FORMAT=COMPACT. Thus, it should use the
variable-length encoding even if the base table is in
ROW_FORMAT=REDUNDNAT.

btr_lift_page_up() writes wrong page number (different by -1) for upper than father page.
But in almost all of the cases, the father page should be root page, no upper
pages. It is very rare path.

In addition the leaf page should not be lifted unless the father page is root.
Because the branch pages should not become the leaf pages.

When a new primary key is added to an InnoDB table, then the following
steps are taken by InnoDB plugin:

.  let t1 be the original table.
.  a temporary table t1@00231 will be created by cloning t1.
.  all data will be copied from t1 to t1@00231.
.  rename t1 to t1@00232.
.  rename t1@00231 to t1.
.  drop t1@00232.

The rename and drop operations involve file operations.  But file operations
cannot be rolled back.  So in row_merge_rename_tables(), just after doing data
dictionary update and before doing any file operations, generate redo logs
for file operations and commit the transaction.  This will ensure that any
crash after this commit, the table is still recoverable by moving .ibd and
.frm files.  Manual recovery is required.

During recovery, the rename file operation redo logs are processed.
Previously this was being ignored.

              TABLE DATA IF DUMPS MYSQL DATABA
Problem: If mysqldump is run without --events (or with --skip-events)
it will not dump the mysql.event table's data. This behaviour is inconsistent
with that of --routines option, which does not affect the dumping of
mysql.proc table. According to the Manual, --events (--skip-events) defines,
if the Event Scheduler events for the dumped databases should be included
in the mysqldump output and this has nothing to do with the mysql.event table
itself.
Solution: A warning has been added when mysqldump is used without --events 
(or with --skip-events) and a separate patch with the behavioral change 
will be prepared for 5.6/trunk.

 
 Analysis
 --------- 
 
 my_stat() calls stat() and if the stat() call fails we try to set 
 the variable  my_errno which is actually a thread specific data .
 We try to get the  address of this thread specific data using
 my_pthread_getspecifc(),but for the purge thread we have not defined 
 any thread specific data so it returns null and when dereferencing 
 null we get a segmentation fault.
        init_available_charsets() seen in the core stack is invoked 
 through  pthread_once() .pthread_once is used for one time 
 initialization.Since free_charsets() is called before innodb plugin 
 shutdown ,purge thread calls init_avaliable_charsets() which leads 
 to the crash.

 Fix
 ---
 Call free_charsets() after the innodb plugin shutdown,since purge 
 threads are still using the charsets. 

Follow up patch to address the pb2 failures.

Brief description: After insert some rows to MEMORY table with HASH key some 
rows can't be deleted in one step.    

Problem Analysis/solution: info->current_ptr will have the information about the
current hash pointer from where we can traverse to the list to get all the       
remaining tuples.
      
In hp_delete_key we are updating info->current_ptr with the last_pos based on       
the flag parameter(which is the keydef and last index are same). As part of the       
fix we are making it to zero only when the code flow reaches to the end of the       
function hp_delete_key() it means that the next record which has to get deleted       
will be at the starting of the list so, that in the next call to       
read record(heap_rnext()) will take line number 100 path instead of 102 path, 
please see the below code in file hp_rnext.c, function heap_rnext().
 99       else if (!info->current_ptr)              /* Deleted or first call */
100         pos= hp_search(info, keyinfo, info->lastkey, 0);
101       else  
102         pos= hp_search(info, keyinfo, info->lastkey, 1);

with that change the hp_search() will update the info->current_ptr with the 
record which needs to be deleted.

storage/heap/hp_delete.c:
  In heap_delete_key() function we are making info->current_ptr to 0 if 
  flag is enabled.

PROBLEM 
-------

optimize on partiton will recreate the whole table 
instead of just partition.

ANALYSIS
--------

At present innodb doesn't support optimize option ,so we do a rebuild of the 
whole table and then call analyze() on the table.Presently for any optimize()
option (on table or partition) we display the following info to the user 

"Table does not support optimize, doing recreate + analyze instead".

FIX
---

It was decided for GA versions(5.1 and 5.5) whenever the user tries to 
optimize a partition(s) we will will display the following info the user

"Table does not support optimize on partitions.
All partitions will be rebuilt and analyzed."

Earlier partitions were not analyzed.Now all partitions  will be analyzed.  

If the user wants to optimize the whole table ,we will display the
previous info to the user. i.e

"Table does not support optimize, doing recreate + analyze instead"

For 5.6+ versions we will raise a new bug to support optimize() options
in innodb.
