Essentially, the problem is that safemalloc is excruciatingly
slow as it checks all allocated blocks for overrun at each
memory management primitive, yielding a almost exponential
slowdown for the memory management functions (malloc, realloc,
free). The overrun check basically consists of verifying some
bytes of a block for certain magic keys, which catches some
simple forms of overrun. Another minor problem is violation
of aliasing rules and that its own internal list of blocks
is prone to corruption.
Another issue with safemalloc is rather the maintenance cost
as the tool has a significant impact on the server code.
Given the magnitude of memory debuggers available nowadays,
especially those that are provided with the platform malloc
implementation, maintenance of a in-house and largely obsolete
memory debugger becomes a burden that is not worth the effort
due to its slowness and lack of support for detecting more
common forms of heap corruption.
Since there are third-party tools that can provide the same
functionality at a lower or comparable performance cost, the
solution is to simply remove safemalloc. Third-party tools
can provide the same functionality at a lower or comparable
performance cost.
The removal of safemalloc also allows a simplification of the
malloc wrappers, removing quite a bit of kludge: redefinition
of my_malloc, my_free and the removal of the unused second
argument of my_free. Since free() always check whether the
supplied pointer is null, redudant checks are also removed.
Also, this patch adds unit testing for my_malloc and moves
my_realloc implementation into the same file as the other
memory allocation primitives.
This patch:
- Moves all definitions from the mysql_priv.h file into
header files for the component where the variable is
defined
- Creates header files if the component lacks one
- Eliminates all include directives from mysql_priv.h
- Eliminates all circular include cycles
- Rename time.cc to sql_time.cc
- Rename mysql_priv.h to sql_priv.h

"HANDLER statements within a transaction might lead to deadlocks".
Introduce a notion of a sentinel to MDL_context. A sentinel
is a ticket that separates all tickets in the context into two
groups: before and after it. Currently we can have (and need) only
one designated sentinel -- it separates all locks taken by LOCK
TABLE or HANDLER statement, which must survive COMMIT and ROLLBACK
and all other locks, which must be released at COMMIT or ROLLBACK.
The tricky part is maintaining the sentinel up to date when
someone release its corresponding ticket. This can happen, e.g.
if someone issues DROP TABLE under LOCK TABLES (generally,
see all calls to release_all_locks_for_name()).
MDL_context::release_ticket() is modified to take care of it.
******
A fix and a test case for Bug#46224 "HANDLER statements within a
transaction might lead to deadlocks".
An attempt to mix HANDLER SQL statements, which are transaction-
agnostic, an open multi-statement transaction,
and DDL against the involved tables (in a concurrent connection)
could lead to a deadlock. The deadlock would occur when
HANDLER OPEN or HANDLER READ would have to wait on a conflicting
metadata lock. If the connection that issued HANDLER statement
also had other metadata locks (say, acquired in scope of a
transaction), a classical deadlock situation of mutual wait
could occur.
Incompatible change: entering LOCK TABLES mode automatically
closes all open HANDLERs in the current connection.
Incompatible change: previously an attempt to wait on a lock
in a connection that has an open HANDLER statement could wait
indefinitely/deadlock. After this patch, an error ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK
is produced.
The idea of the fix is to merge thd->handler_mdl_context
with the main mdl_context of the connection, used for transactional
locks. This makes deadlock detection possible, since all waits
with locks are "visible" and available to analysis in a single
MDL context of the connection.
Since HANDLER locks and transactional locks have a different life
cycle -- HANDLERs are explicitly open and closed, and so
are HANDLER locks, explicitly acquired and released, whereas
transactional locks "accumulate" till the end of a transaction
and are released only with COMMIT, ROLLBACK and ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT,
a concept of "sentinel" was introduced to MDL_context.
All locks, HANDLER and others, reside in the same linked list.
However, a selected element of the list separates locks with
different life cycle. HANDLER locks always reside at the
end of the list, after the sentinel. Transactional locks are
prepended to the beginning of the list, before the sentinel.
Thus, ROLLBACK, COMMIT or ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT, only
release those locks that reside before the sentinel. HANDLER locks
must be released explicitly as part of HANDLER CLOSE statement,
or an implicit close.
The same approach with sentinel
is also employed for LOCK TABLES locks. Since HANDLER and LOCK TABLES
statement has never worked together, the implementation is
made simple and only maintains one sentinel, which is used either
for HANDLER locks, or for LOCK TABLES locks.

Bug#989: If DROP TABLE while there's an active transaction, wrong binlog order
WL#4284: Transactional DDL locking
Currently the MySQL server does not keep metadata locks on
schema objects for the duration of a transaction, thus failing
to guarantee the integrity of the schema objects being used
during the transaction and to protect then from concurrent
DDL operations. This also poses a problem for replication as
a DDL operation might be replicated even thought there are
active transactions using the object being modified.
The solution is to defer the release of metadata locks until
a active transaction is either committed or rolled back. This
prevents other statements from modifying the table for the
entire duration of the transaction. This provides commitment
ordering for guaranteeing serializability across multiple
transactions.
- Incompatible change:
If MySQL's metadata locking system encounters a lock conflict,
the usual schema is to use the try and back-off technique to
avoid deadlocks -- this schema consists in releasing all locks
and trying to acquire them all in one go.
But in a transactional context this algorithm can't be utilized
as its not possible to release locks acquired during the course
of the transaction without breaking the transaction commitments.
To avoid deadlocks in this case, the ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK will be
returned if a lock conflict is encountered during a transaction.
Let's consider an example:
A transaction has two statements that modify table t1, then table
t2, and then commits. The first statement of the transaction will
acquire a shared metadata lock on table t1, and it will be kept
utill COMMIT to ensure serializability.
At the moment when the second statement attempts to acquire a
shared metadata lock on t2, a concurrent ALTER or DROP statement
might have locked t2 exclusively. The prescription of the current
locking protocol is that the acquirer of the shared lock backs off
-- gives up all his current locks and retries. This implies that
the entire multi-statement transaction has to be rolled back.
- Incompatible change:
FLUSH commands such as FLUSH PRIVILEGES and FLUSH TABLES WITH READ
LOCK won't cause locked tables to be implicitly unlocked anymore.

WL#4284: Transactional DDL locking
Make transaction management more modular through a new interface.
The overall objective of this change is to provide groundwork
for the design of transactional DDL locking by cleaning up the
transaction high level API to better distinguish operations implicit
and explicit, and single statement transaction from operations on
the normal transaction.
Having a a high-level interface for transaction management provides
a better base for implementing transactional concepts that are not
always tied to storage engines and also makes it easier to interect
with other higher level modules of the server.
This is the non-ndb part of the patch.
The return value of mysql_bin_log.write was ignored by most callers,
which may lead to inconsistent on master and slave if the transaction
was committed while the binlog was not correctly written. If
my_error() is call in mysql_bin_log.write, this could also lead to
assertion issue if my_ok() or my_error() is called after.
This fixed the problem by let the caller to check and handle the
return value of mysql_bin_log.write. This patch only adresses the
simple cases.
General overview:
The logic for switching to row format when binlog_format=MIXED had
numerous flaws. The underlying problem was the lack of a consistent
architecture.
General purpose of this changeset:
This changeset introduces an architecture for switching to row format
when binlog_format=MIXED. It enforces the architecture where it has
to. It leaves some bugs to be fixed later. It adds extensive tests to
verify that unsafe statements work as expected and that appropriate
errors are produced by problems with the selection of binlog format.
It was not practical to split this into smaller pieces of work.
Problem 1:
To determine the logging mode, the code has to take several parameters
into account (namely: (1) the value of binlog_format; (2) the
capabilities of the engines; (3) the type of the current statement:
normal, unsafe, or row injection). These parameters may conflict in
several ways, namely:
- binlog_format=STATEMENT for a row injection
- binlog_format=STATEMENT for an unsafe statement
- binlog_format=STATEMENT for an engine only supporting row logging
- binlog_format=ROW for an engine only supporting statement logging
- statement is unsafe and engine does not support row logging
- row injection in a table that does not support statement logging
- statement modifies one table that does not support row logging and
one that does not support statement logging
Several of these conflicts were not detected, or were detected with
an inappropriate error message. The problem of BUG#39934 was that no
appropriate error message was written for the case when an engine
only supporting row logging executed a row injection with
binlog_format=ROW. However, all above cases must be handled.
Fix 1:
Introduce new error codes (sql/share/errmsg.txt). Ensure that all
conditions are detected and handled in decide_logging_format()
Problem 2:
The binlog format shall be determined once per statement, in
decide_logging_format(). It shall not be changed before or after that.
Before decide_logging_format() is called, all information necessary to
determine the logging format must be available. This principle ensures
that all unsafe statements are handled in a consistent way.
However, this principle is not followed:
thd->set_current_stmt_binlog_row_based_if_mixed() is called in several
places, including from code executing UPDATE..LIMIT,
INSERT..SELECT..LIMIT, DELETE..LIMIT, INSERT DELAYED, and
SET @@binlog_format. After Problem 1 was fixed, that caused
inconsistencies where these unsafe statements would not print the
appropriate warnings or errors for some of the conflicts.
Fix 2:
Remove calls to THD::set_current_stmt_binlog_row_based_if_mixed() from
code executed after decide_logging_format(). Compensate by calling the
set_current_stmt_unsafe() at parse time. This way, all unsafe statements
are detected by decide_logging_format().
Problem 3:
INSERT DELAYED is not unsafe: it is logged in statement format even if
binlog_format=MIXED, and no warning is printed even if
binlog_format=STATEMENT. This is BUG#45825.
Fix 3:
Made INSERT DELAYED set itself to unsafe at parse time. This allows
decide_logging_format() to detect that a warning should be printed or
the binlog_format changed.
Problem 4:
LIMIT clause were not marked as unsafe when executed inside stored
functions/triggers/views/prepared statements. This is
BUG#45785.
Fix 4:
Make statements containing the LIMIT clause marked as unsafe at
parse time, instead of at execution time. This allows propagating
unsafe-ness to the view.
a SELECT doesn't cause ROLLBACK of statem".
The idea of the fix is to ensure that we always commit the current
statement at the end of dispatch_command(). In order to not issue
redundant disc syncs, an optimization of the two-phase commit
protocol is implemented to bypass the two phase commit if
the transaction is read-only.
Adding an event that can be used to denote that an incident occured
on the master. The event can be used to denote a gap in the replication
stream, but can also be used to denote other incidents.
In addition, the injector interface is extended with functions to
generate an incident event. The function will also rotate the binary
log after generating an incident event to get a fresh binary log.
