- BUG#11986: Stored routines and triggers can fail if the code
has a non-ascii symbol
- BUG#16291: mysqldump corrupts string-constants with non-ascii-chars
- BUG#19443: INFORMATION_SCHEMA does not support charsets properly
- BUG#21249: Character set of SP-var can be ignored
- BUG#25212: Character set of string constant is ignored (stored routines)
- BUG#25221: Character set of string constant is ignored (triggers)
There were a few general problems that caused these bugs:
1. Character set information of the original (definition) query for views,
triggers, stored routines and events was lost.
2. mysqldump output query in client character set, which can be
inappropriate to encode definition-query.
3. INFORMATION_SCHEMA used strings with mixed encodings to display object
definition;
1. No query-definition-character set.
In order to compile query into execution code, some extra data (such as
environment variables or the database character set) is used. The problem
here was that this context was not preserved. So, on the next load it can
differ from the original one, thus the result will be different.
The context contains the following data:
- client character set;
- connection collation (character set and collation);
- collation of the owner database;
The fix is to store this context and use it each time we parse (compile)
and execute the object (stored routine, trigger, ...).
2. Wrong mysqldump-output.
The original query can contain several encodings (by means of character set
introducers). The problem here was that we tried to convert original query
to the mysqldump-client character set.
Moreover, we stored queries in different character sets for different
objects (views, for one, used UTF8, triggers used original character set).
The solution is
- to store definition queries in the original character set;
- to change SHOW CREATE statement to output definition query in the
binary character set (i.e. without any conversion);
- introduce SHOW CREATE TRIGGER statement;
- to dump special statements to switch the context to the original one
before dumping and restore it afterwards.
Note, in order to preserve the database collation at the creation time,
additional ALTER DATABASE might be used (to temporary switch the database
collation back to the original value). In this case, ALTER DATABASE
privilege will be required. This is a backward-incompatible change.
3. INFORMATION_SCHEMA showed non-UTF8 strings
The fix is to generate UTF8-query during the parsing, store it in the object
and show it in the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.
Basically, the idea is to create a copy of the original query convert it to
UTF8. Character set introducers are removed and all text literals are
converted to UTF8.
This UTF8 query is intended to provide user-readable output. It must not be
used to recreate the object. Specialized SHOW CREATE statements should be
used for this.
The reason for this limitation is the following: the original query can
contain symbols from several character sets (by means of character set
introducers).
Example:
- original query:
CREATE VIEW v1 AS SELECT _cp1251 'Hello' AS c1;
- UTF8 query (for INFORMATION_SCHEMA):
CREATE VIEW v1 AS SELECT 'Hello' AS c1;
The patch contains the following changes:
- Introduce auxilary functions to convenient work with character sets:
- resolve_charset();
- resolve_collation();
- get_default_db_collation();
- Introduce lex_string_set();
- Refactor Table_trigger_list::process_triggers() &
sp_head::execute_trigger() to be consistent with other code;
- Move reusable code from add_table_for_trigger() into
build_trn_path(), check_trn_exists() and load_table_name_for_trigger()
to be used in the following patch.
- Rename triggers_file_ext and trigname_file_ext into TRN_EXT and
TRG_EXT respectively.
Bug 28127 (Some valid identifiers names are not parsed correctly)
Bug 26302 (MySQL server cuts off trailing "*/" from comments in SP/func)
This patch is the second part of a major cleanup, required to fix
Bug 25411 (trigger code truncated).
The root cause of the issue stems from the function skip_rear_comments,
which was a work around to remove "extra" "*/" characters from the query
text, when parsing a query and reusing the text fragments to represent a
view, trigger, function or stored procedure.
The reason for this work around is that "special comments",
like /*!50002 XXX */, were not parsed properly, so that a query like:
AAA /*!50002 BBB */ CCC
would be seen by the parser as "AAA BBB */ CCC" when the current version
is greater or equal to 5.0.2
The root cause of this stems from how special comments are parsed.
Special comments are really out-of-bound text that appear inside a query,
that affects how the parser behave.
In nature, /*!50002 XXX */ in MySQL is similar to the C concept
of preprocessing :
#if VERSION >= 50002
XXX
#endif
Depending on the current VERSION of the server, either the special comment
should be expanded or it should be ignored, but in all cases the "text" of
the query should be re-written to strip the "/*!50002" and "*/" markers,
which does not belong to the SQL language itself.
Prior to this fix, these markers would leak into :
- the storage format for VIEW,
- the storage format for FUNCTION,
- the storage format for FUNCTION parameters, in mysql.proc (param_list),
- the storage format for PROCEDURE,
- the storage format for PROCEDURE parameters, in mysql.proc (param_list),
- the storage format for TRIGGER,
- the binary log used for replication.
In all cases, not only this cause format corruption, but also provide a vector
for dormant security issues, by allowing to tunnel code that will be activated
after an upgrade.
The proper solution is to deal with special comments strictly during parsing,
when accepting a query from the outside world.
Once a query is parsed and an object is created with a persistant
representation, this object should not arbitrarily mutate after an upgrade.
In short, special comments are a useful but limited feature for MYSQLdump,
when used at an *interface* level to facilitate import/export,
but bloating the server *internal* storage format is *not* the proper way
to deal with configuration management of the user logic.
With this fix:
- the Lex_input_stream class now acts as a comment pre-processor,
and either expands or ignore special comments on the fly.
- MYSQLlex and sql_yacc.yy have been cleaned up to strictly use the
public interface of Lex_input_stream. In particular, how the input stream
accepts or rejects a character is private to Lex_input_stream, and the
internal buffer pointers of that class are strictly private, and should not
be tempered with during parsing.
This caused many changes mostly in sql_lex.cc.
During the code cleanup in case MY_LEX_NUMBER_IDENT,
Bug 28127 (Some valid identifiers names are not parsed correctly)
was found and fixed.
By parsing special comments properly, and removing the function
'skip_rear_comments' [sic],
Bug 26302 (MySQL server cuts off trailing "*/" from comments in SP/func)
has been fixed as well.
Coding style: classes start with a capital letter.
Rename some classes related to parsing:
create_field -> Create_field
foreign_key -> Foreign_key
key_part_spec -> Key_part_spec
The root cause of this bug is related to the function skip_rear_comments,
in sql_lex.cc
Recent code changes in skip_rear_comments changed the prototype from
"const uchar*" to "const char*", which had an unforseen impact on this test:
(endp[-1] < ' ')
With unsigned characters, this code filters bytes of value [0x00 - 0x20]
With *signed* characters, this also filters bytes of value [0x80 - 0xFF].
This caused the regression reported, considering cyrillic characters in the
parameter name to be whitespace, and truncated.
Note that the regression is present both in 5.0 and 5.1.
With this fix:
- [0x80 - 0xFF] bytes are no longer considered whitespace.
This alone fixes the regression.
In addition, filtering [0x00 - 0x20] was found bogus and abusive,
so that the code now filters uses my_isspace when looking for whitespace.
Note that this fix is only addressing the regression affecting UTF-8
in general, but does not address a more fundamental problem with
skip_rear_comments: parsing a string *backwards*, starting at end[-1],
is not safe with multi-bytes characters, so that end[-1] can confuse the
last byte of a multi-byte characters with a characters to filter out.
The only known impact of this remaining issue affects objects that have to
meet all the conditions below:
- the object is a FUNCTION / PROCEDURE / TRIGGER / EVENT / VIEW
- the body consist of only *1* instruction, and does *not* contain a
BEGIN-END block
- the instruction ends, lexically, with <ident> <whitespace>* ';'?
For example, "select <ident>;" or "return <ident>;"
- The last character of <ident> is a multi-byte character
- the last byte of this character is ';' '*', '/' or whitespace
In this case, the body of the object will be truncated after parsing,
and stored in an invalid format.
This last issue has not been fixed in this patch, since the real fix
will be implemented by Bug 25411 (trigger code truncated), which is caused
by the very same code.
The real problem is that the function skip_rear_comments is only a
work-around, and should be removed entirely: see the proposed patch for
bug 25411 for details.
If a stored function or a trigger was killed it had aborted but no error
was thrown. This allows the caller statement to continue without a notice.
This may lead to a wrong data being inserted/updated to/deleted as in such
cases the correct result of a stored function isn't guaranteed. In the case
of triggers it allows the caller statement to ignore kill signal and to
waste time because of re-evaluation of triggers that always will fail
because thd->killed flag is still on.
Now the Item_func_sp::execute() and the sp_head::execute_trigger() functions
check whether a function or a trigger were killed during execution and
throws an appropriate error if so.
Now the fill_record() function stops filling record if an error was reported
through thd->net.report_error.
Bug#21483 "Server abort or deadlock on INSERT DELAYED with another
implicit insert"
Also fixes and adds test cases for bugs:
20497 "Trigger with INSERT DELAYED causes Error 1165"
21714 "Wrong NEW.value and server abort on INSERT DELAYED to a
table with a trigger".
Post-review fixes.
Problem:
In MySQL INSERT DELAYED is a way to pipe all inserts into a
given table through a dedicated thread. This is necessary for
simplistic storage engines like MyISAM, which do not have internal
concurrency control or threading and thus can not
achieve efficient INSERT throughput without support from SQL layer.
DELAYED INSERT works as follows:
For every distinct table, which can accept DELAYED inserts and has
pending data to insert, a dedicated thread is created to write data
to disk. All user connection threads that attempt to
delayed-insert into this table interact with the dedicated thread in
producer/consumer fashion: all records to-be inserted are pushed
into a queue of the dedicated thread, which fetches the records and
writes them.
In this design, client connection threads never open or lock
the delayed insert table.
This functionality was introduced in version 3.23 and does not take
into account existence of triggers, views, or pre-locking.
E.g. if INSERT DELAYED is called from a stored function, which,
in turn, is called from another stored function that uses the delayed
table, a deadlock can occur, because delayed locking by-passes
pre-locking. Besides:
* the delayed thread works directly with the subject table through
the storage engine API and does not invoke triggers
* even if it was patched to invoke triggers, if triggers,
in turn, used other tables, the delayed thread would
have to open and lock involved tables (use pre-locking).
* even if it was patched to use pre-locking, without deadlock
detection the delayed thread could easily lock out user
connection threads in case when the same table is used both
in a trigger and on the right side of the insert query:
the delayed thread would not release locks until all inserts
are complete, and user connection can not complete inserts
without having locks on the tables used on the right side of the
query.
Solution:
These considerations suggest two general alternatives for the
future of INSERT DELAYED:
* it is considered a full-fledged alternative to normal INSERT
* it is regarded as an optimisation that is only relevant
for simplistic engines.
Since we missed our chance to provide complete support of new
features when 5.0 was in development, the first alternative
currently renders infeasible.
However, even the second alternative, which is to detect
new features and convert DELAYED insert into a normal insert,
is not easy to implement.
The catch-22 is that we don't know if the subject table has triggers
or is a view before we open it, and we only open it in the
delayed thread. We don't know if the query involves pre-locking
until we have opened all tables, and we always first create
the delayed thread, and only then open the remaining tables.
This patch detects the problematic scenarios and converts
DELAYED INSERT to a normal INSERT using the following approach:
* if the statement is executed under pre-locking (e.g. from
within a stored function or trigger) or the right
side may require pre-locking, we detect the situation
before creating a delayed insert thread and convert the statement
to a conventional INSERT.
* if the subject table is a view or has triggers, we shutdown
the delayed thread and convert the statement to a conventional
INSERT.
Replacing binlog_row_based_if_mixed with variable binlog_stmt_flags
holding several flags and adding member functions to manipulate the
flags.
Added code to generate a warning when an attempt to log an unsafe
statement to the binary log was made. The warning is both pushed to the
SHOW WARNINGS table and written to the error log. The prevent flooding
the error log, the warning is just written to the error log once per
open session.
The following type conversions was done:
- Changed byte to uchar
- Changed gptr to uchar*
- Change my_string to char *
- Change my_size_t to size_t
- Change size_s to size_t
Removed declaration of byte, gptr, my_string, my_size_t and size_s.
Following function parameter changes was done:
- All string functions in mysys/strings was changed to use size_t
instead of uint for string lengths.
- All read()/write() functions changed to use size_t (including vio).
- All protocoll functions changed to use size_t instead of uint
- Functions that used a pointer to a string length was changed to use size_t*
- Changed malloc(), free() and related functions from using gptr to use void *
as this requires fewer casts in the code and is more in line with how the
standard functions work.
- Added extra length argument to dirname_part() to return the length of the
created string.
- Changed (at least) following functions to take uchar* as argument:
- db_dump()
- my_net_write()
- net_write_command()
- net_store_data()
- DBUG_DUMP()
- decimal2bin() & bin2decimal()
- Changed my_compress() and my_uncompress() to use size_t. Changed one
argument to my_uncompress() from a pointer to a value as we only return
one value (makes function easier to use).
- Changed type of 'pack_data' argument to packfrm() to avoid casts.
- Changed in readfrm() and writefrom(), ha_discover and handler::discover()
the type for argument 'frmdata' to uchar** to avoid casts.
- Changed most Field functions to use uchar* instead of char* (reduced a lot of
casts).
- Changed field->val_xxx(xxx, new_ptr) to take const pointers.
Other changes:
- Removed a lot of not needed casts
- Added a few new cast required by other changes
- Added some cast to my_multi_malloc() arguments for safety (as string lengths
needs to be uint, not size_t).
- Fixed all calls to hash-get-key functions to use size_t*. (Needed to be done
explicitely as this conflict was often hided by casting the function to
hash_get_key).
- Changed some buffers to memory regions to uchar* to avoid casts.
- Changed some string lengths from uint to size_t.
- Changed field->ptr to be uchar* instead of char*. This allowed us to
get rid of a lot of casts.
- Some changes from true -> TRUE, false -> FALSE, unsigned char -> uchar
- Include zlib.h in some files as we needed declaration of crc32()
- Changed MY_FILE_ERROR to be (size_t) -1.
- Changed many variables to hold the result of my_read() / my_write() to be
size_t. This was needed to properly detect errors (which are
returned as (size_t) -1).
- Removed some very old VMS code
- Changed packfrm()/unpackfrm() to not be depending on uint size
(portability fix)
- Removed windows specific code to restore cursor position as this
causes slowdown on windows and we should not mix read() and pread()
calls anyway as this is not thread safe. Updated function comment to
reflect this. Changed function that depended on original behavior of
my_pwrite() to itself restore the cursor position (one such case).
- Added some missing checking of return value of malloc().
- Changed definition of MOD_PAD_CHAR_TO_FULL_LENGTH to avoid 'long' overflow.
- Changed type of table_def::m_size from my_size_t to ulong to reflect that
m_size is the number of elements in the array, not a string/memory
length.
- Moved THD::max_row_length() to table.cc (as it's not depending on THD).
Inlined max_row_length_blob() into this function.
- More function comments
- Fixed some compiler warnings when compiled without partitions.
- Removed setting of LEX_STRING() arguments in declaration (portability fix).
- Some trivial indentation/variable name changes.
- Some trivial code simplifications:
- Replaced some calls to alloc_root + memcpy to use
strmake_root()/strdup_root().
- Changed some calls from memdup() to strmake() (Safety fix)
- Simpler loops in client-simple.c
- In some cases, flow control optimization implemented in sp::optimize
removes hreturn instructions, causing SQL exception handlers to:
* never return
* execute wrong logic
- This patch overrides default short cut optimization on hreturn instructions
to avoid this problem.
The issue found with bug 25411 is due to the function skip_rear_comments()
which damages the source code while implementing a work around.
The root cause of the problem is in the lexical analyser, which does not
process special comments properly.
For special comments like :
[1] aaa /*!50000 bbb */ ccc
since 5.0 is a version older that the current code, the parser is in lining
the content of the special comment, so that the query to process is
[2] aaa bbb ccc
However, the text of the query captured when processing a stored procedure,
stored function or trigger (or event in 5.1), can be after rebuilding it:
[3] aaa bbb */ ccc
which is wrong.
To fix bug 25411 properly, the lexical analyser needs to return [2] when
in lining special comments.
In order to implement this, some preliminary cleanup is required in the code,
which is implemented by this patch.
Before this change, the structure named LEX (or st_lex) contains attributes
that belong to lexical analysis, as well as attributes that represents the
abstract syntax tree (AST) of a statement.
Creating a new LEX structure for each statements (which makes sense for the
AST part) also re-initialized the lexical analysis phase each time, which
is conceptually wrong.
With this patch, the previous st_lex structure has been split in two:
- st_lex represents the Abstract Syntax Tree for a statement. The name "lex"
has not been changed to avoid a bigger impact in the code base.
- class lex_input_stream represents the internal state of the lexical
analyser, which by definition should *not* be reinitialized when parsing
multiple statements from the same input stream.
This change is a pre-requisite for bug 25411, since the implementation of
lex_input_stream will later improve to deal properly with special comments,
and this processing can not be done with the current implementation of
sp_head::reset_lex and sp_head::restore_lex, which interfere with the lexer.
This change set alone does not fix bug 25411.
streamline the event worker thread work flow and try to eliminate
possibilities for memory corruptions that might have been
lurking in previous (complicated) code.
This patch:
* removes Event_job_data::compile that was never used
* cleans up Event_job_data::execute to minimize juggling with
thread context and eliminate unneded code paths
* Implements Security_context::change/restore_security_context
to be able to re-use these methods in all stored programs
This is to maybe fix Bug#27733 "Valgrind failures in

when there are no up-to-date system tables to support it:
- initialize the scheduler before reporting "Ready for connections".
This ensures that warnings, if any, are printed before "Ready for

- do not abort the scheduler if there are no system tables
- check the tables once at start up, remember the status and disable
the scheduler if the tables are not up to date.
If one attempts to use the scheduler with bad tables,

This patch fixes Bug#23631 Events: SHOW VARIABLES doesn't work

execution breaks replication.
When a stored routine is executed, we switch current
database to the database, in which the routine
has been created. When the stored routine finishes,
we switch back to the original database.
The problem was that if the original database does not

The fix is to report a warning, and switch to the NULL database.
