Post-review fixes that simplify the way access rights
are checked during name resolution and factor out all
entry points to check access rights into one single
function.
multi-threaded environment".
To avoid deadlocks between several simultaneously run account management
commands (particularly between FLUSH PRIVILEGES/SET PASSWORD and GRANT
commands) we should always take table and internal locks during their
execution in the same order. In other words we should first open and lock
privilege tables and only then obtain acl_cache::lock/LOCK_grant locks.
Added new logic to ACL system:
1) If GRANT OPTION (not mysql db):
Ok to update existing user, but not password.
Not allowed to make a new user.
2) If UPDATE_ACL to mysql DB:
Ok to update current user, but not make a new one.
3) If INSERT_ACL to mysql DB:
Ok to add a new user, but not modify existing.
4) If GRANT OPTION to mysql DB:
All modifications OK.
Split TABLE to TABLE and TABLE_SHARE (TABLE_SHARE is still allocated as part of table, will be fixed soon)
Created Field::make_field() and made Field_num::make_field() to call this
Added 'TABLE_SHARE->db' that points to database name; Changed all usage of table_cache_key as database name to use this instead
Changed field->table_name to point to pointer to alias. This allows us to change alias for a table by just updating one pointer.
Renamed TABLE_SHARE->real_name to table_name
Renamed TABLE->table_name to alias
Renamed TABLE_LIST->real_name to table_name
Cleaned up embedded library access and query cache handling
Changed min stack size to 128K (to allow longer MyISAM keys)
Fixed wrong priority for XOR (should be less than NEG to get -1^1 to work)
WL#1284 (warnings about --skip-name-resolve)
Now MySQL will issue warnings during startup about entries in
grant tables with hostnames that require resolve, and after
GRANT commands with that kind of hostnames.
WL#604 Privileges in embedded library
code added to check privileges in embedded library
NO_EMBEDDED_ACCESS_CHECKS macros inserted in code so we can exclude
access-checking parts. Actually we now can exclude these parts from
standalone server as well. Do we need it?
Access checks are disabled in embedded server by default. One should
edit libmysqld/Makefile manually to get this working.
We definitely need the separate configure for embedded server
