Use SELECT_LEX to save lists for ORDER BY and GROUP BY before parsing
WINDOW clauses / specifications. This is needed for proper parsing
of a nested WINDOW clause when a WINDOW clause is used in a subquery
contained in another WINDOW clause.
Fix assignment of empty SQL_I_List to another one (in case of empty list
next shoud point on first).
For "const char *" replace() and after() accepted const as "T *" and
passed forward "void *". This cannot be cast implicitly, so we better
use "const void *" instead of "void *" in the input interface. This
way we avoid problems with using List for any const type.
New iterator has the fastest possible implementation: just moves one pointer.
It's faster that List_iterator and List_iterator_fast: both do more on increment.
Overall patch brings:
1) work compile times
2) possibly(!) worse debug build performance
3) definitely better optimized build performance
4) ability to write less code
5) ability to write less bug-prone code
Problem:-
If we try to run this query with -WITH_ASAN=ON compiled server
CREATE TABLE t1 (i INT);
SET debug_dbug="+d,test_completely_invisible,test_invisible_index";
CREATE TABLE t2 LIKE t1;
This will generate a stack buffer overflow error.
==8922==ERROR: AddressSanitizer: stack-buffer-overflow on address #ADDR
Analyze:-
Error is generated on this line
if (((*last)=new list_node(info, &end_of_list)))
So info is our Key*, &end_of_list is global variable and last == #ADDR
So last is suspicious variable. And last is the variable present in alter_info
->key_list. Now the question is how this key_list->last gets wrong/
different stack variable. In the backtrace, we can see that key_list is
generated in mysql_create_table_like_table by calling
mysql_preapre_alter_table_function and dummy key_list is created by
mysql_create_like_table. In the end on mysql_prepare_alter_table we call
alter_info->key_list.swap(new_key_list);
So there is two options either key_list is empty or not empty , IF it is not
empty then there is no issues last ptr is replaced by thd->mem_root (allocated ptr)
So problem arises when key_list is empty. It swaps the dummy last ptr by
mysql_prepare_alter_table declared ptr. which is wrong.
Solution:-
We wont swap variable if list does not have any element.
Remove unused InnoDB function parameters and functions.
i_s_sys_virtual_fill_table(): Do not allocate heap memory.
mtr_is_block_fix(): Replace with mtr_memo_contains().
mtr_is_page_fix(): Replace with mtr_memo_contains_page().
TRASH was mapped to TRASH_FREE and was supposed to be used for memory
that should not be accessed anymore, while TRASH_ALLOC() is to be
used for uninitialized but to-be-used memory.
But sometimes TRASH() was used in the latter sense.
Remove TRASH() macro, always use explicit TRASH_ALLOC() or TRASH_FREE().
- Remove not used thd_rpl_is_parallel()
- Remove not used mysql_notify_thread_having_shared_lock()
- Remove not needed LOCK_thread_count from MYSQL_BIN_LOG::reset_logs()
- LOCK_thread_count is not protecting against rollback, so this
code and comment is not needed
- Remove mutex_locks in slave.cc that are not needed.
Added THD::assert_not_linked() to ensure that it was safe to remove
- Fixed not repeatable test load_data_stmt_view
- Updated binlog_killed to test removal of mutex
(thanks to Andrei Elkin for test)
- More code comments
- Added sql/mariadb.h file that should be included first by files in sql
directory, if sql_plugin.h is not used (sql_plugin.h adds SHOW variables
that must be done before my_global.h is included)
- Removed a lot of include my_global.h from include files
- Removed include's of some files that my_global.h automatically includes
- Removed duplicated include's of my_sys.h
- Replaced include my_config.h with my_global.h
Benefits of this patch:
- Removed a lot of calls to strlen(), especially for field_string
- Strings generated by parser are now const strings, less chance of
accidently changing a string
- Removed a lot of calls with LEX_STRING as parameter (changed to pointer)
- More uniform code
- Item::name_length was not kept up to date. Now fixed
- Several bugs found and fixed (Access to null pointers,
access of freed memory, wrong arguments to printf like functions)
- Removed a lot of casts from (const char*) to (char*)
Changes:
- This caused some ABI changes
- lex_string_set now uses LEX_CSTRING
- Some fucntions are now taking const char* instead of char*
- Create_field::change and after changed to LEX_CSTRING
- handler::connect_string, comment and engine_name() changed to LEX_CSTRING
- Checked printf() related calls to find bugs. Found and fixed several
errors in old code.
- A lot of changes from LEX_STRING to LEX_CSTRING, especially related to
parsing and events.
- Some changes from LEX_STRING and LEX_STRING & to LEX_CSTRING*
- Some changes for char* to const char*
- Added printf argument checking for my_snprintf()
- Introduced null_clex_str, star_clex_string, temp_lex_str to simplify
code
- Added item_empty_name and item_used_name to be able to distingush between
items that was given an empty name and items that was not given a name
This is used in sql_yacc.yy to know when to give an item a name.
- select table_name."*' is not anymore same as table_name.*
- removed not used function Item::rename()
- Added comparision of item->name_length before some calls to
my_strcasecmp() to speed up comparison
- Moved Item_sp_variable::make_field() from item.h to item.cc
- Some minimal code changes to avoid copying to const char *
- Fixed wrong error message in wsrep_mysql_parse()
- Fixed wrong code in find_field_in_natural_join() where real_item() was
set when it shouldn't
- ER_ERROR_ON_RENAME was used with extra arguments.
- Removed some (wrong) ER_OUTOFMEMORY, as alloc_root will already
give the error.
TODO:
- Check possible unsafe casts in plugin/auth_examples/qa_auth_interface.c
- Change code to not modify LEX_CSTRING for database name
(as part of lower_case_table_names)
- Rename Window_funcs_computation to Window_funcs_computation_step
- Introduce Window_func_sort which invokes filesort and then
invokes computation of all window functions that use this ordering.
- Expose Window functions' sort operations in EXPLAIN|ANALYZE FORMAT=JSON
that the call-back comparison function returns a positive
number when arg1 < arg2, and a negative number when arg1 > arg2.
This is not in line with other implementation of sorting
algorithm.
Changed bubble_sort: now a negative result from the comparison
function means that arg1 < arg2, and positive result means
that arg1 > arg2.
Changed accordingly all call-back functions that are used as
parameters in the call of bubble_sort.
Added a test case to check the proper sorting of window functions.
Creating a CONNECT object on client connect and pass this to the working thread which creates the THD.
Split LOCK_thread_count to different mutexes
Added LOCK_thread_start to syncronize threads
Moved most usage of LOCK_thread_count to dedicated functions
Use next_thread_id() instead of thread_id++
Other things:
- Thread id now starts from 1 instead of 2
- Added cast for thread_id as thread id is now of type my_thread_id
- Made THD->host const (To ensure it's not changed)
- Removed some DBUG_PRINT() about entering/exiting mutex as these was already logged by mutex code
- Fixed that aborted_connects and connection_errors_internal are counted in all cases
- Don't take locks for current_linfo when we set it (not needed as it was 0 before)
The following left in semi-improved state to keep patch size reasonable:
- Field operator new: left thd_alloc(current_thd)
- Sql_alloc operator new: left thd_alloc(thd_get_current_thd())
- Item_args constructors: left thd_alloc(thd)
- Item_func_interval::fix_length_and_dec(): no THD arg, have to call current_thd
- Item_func_dyncol_exists::val_int(): same
- Item_dyncol_get::val_str(): same
- Item_dyncol_get::val_int(): same
- Item_dyncol_get::val_real(): same
- Item_dyncol_get::val_decimal(): same
- Item_singlerow_subselect::fix_length_and_dec(): same
- Changed ER(ER_...) to ER_THD(thd, ER_...) when thd was known or if there was many calls to current_thd in the same function.
- Changed ER(ER_..) to ER_THD_OR_DEFAULT(current_thd, ER...) in some places where current_thd is not necessary defined.
- Removing calls to current_thd when we have access to thd
Part of this is optimization (not calling current_thd when not needed),
but part is bug fixing for error condition when current_thd is not defined
(For example on startup and end of mysqld)
Notable renames done as otherwise a lot of functions would have to be changed:
- In JOIN structure renamed:
examined_rows -> join_examined_rows
record_count -> join_record_count
- In Field, renamed new_field() to make_new_field()
Other things:
- Added DBUG_ASSERT(thd == tmp_thd) in Item_singlerow_subselect() just to be safe.
- Removed old 'tab' prefix in JOIN_TAB::save_explain_data() and use members directly
- Added 'thd' as argument to a few functions to avoid calling current_thd.
sql_alloc() has additional costs compared to direct mem_root allocation:
- function call: it is defined in a separate translation unit and can't be
inlined
- it needs to call pthread_getspecific() to get THD::mem_root
It is called dozens of times implicitely at least by:
- List<>::push_back()
- List<>::push_front()
- new (for Sql_alloc derived classes)
- sql_memdup()
Replaced lots of implicit sql_alloc() calls with direct mem_root allocation,
passing through THD pointer whenever it is needed.
Number of sql_alloc() calls reduced 345 -> 41 per OLTP RO transaction.
pthread_getspecific() overhead dropped 0.76 -> 0.59
sql_alloc() overhed dropped 0.25 -> 0.06
- There was List<N>::nth_element() but it didn't work because linker removed it.
- Now, removal by linker is prevented for important values of T, and function is renamed.
The wrong result set returned by the left join query from
the bug test case happened due to several inconsistencies
and bugs of the legacy mysql code.
The bug test case uses an execution plan that employs a scan
of a materialized IN subquery from the WHERE condition.
When materializing such an IN- subquery the optimizer injects
additional equalities into the WHERE clause. These equalities
express the constraints imposed by the subquery predicate.
The injected equality of the query in the test case happens
to belong to the same equality class, and a new equality
imposing a condition on the rows of the materialized subquery
is inferred from this class. Simultaneously the multiple
equality is added to the ON expression of the LEFT JOIN
used in the main query.
The inferred equality of the form f1=f2 is taken into account
when optimizing the scan of the rows the temporary table
that is the result of the subquery materialization: only the
values of the field f1 are read from the table into the record
buffer. Meanwhile the inferred equality is removed from the
WHERE conditions altogether as a constraint on the fields
of the temporary table that has been used when filling this table.
This equality is supposed to be removed from the ON expression
when the multiple equalities of the ON expression are converted
into an optimal set of equality predicates. It supposed to be
removed from the ON expression as an equality inferred from only
equalities of the WHERE condition. Yet, it did not happened
due to the following bug in the code.
Erroneously the code tried to build multiple equality for ON
expression twice: the first time, when it called optimize_cond()
for the WHERE condition, the second time, when it called
this function for the HAVING condition. When executing
optimize_con() for the WHERE condition a reference
to the multiple equality of the WHERE condition is set
in the multiple equality of the ON expression. This reference
would allow later to convert multiple equalities of the
ON expression into equality predicates. However the
the second call of build_equal_items() for the ON expression
that happened when optimize_cond() was called for the
HAVING condition reset this reference to NULL.
This bug fix blocks calling build_equal_items() for ON
expressions for the second time. In general, it will be
beneficial for many queries as it removes from ON
expressions any equalities that are to be checked for the
WHERE condition.
The patch also fixes two bugs in the list manipulation
operations and a bug in the function
substitute_for_best_equal_field() that resulted
in passing wrong reference to the multiple equalities
of where conditions when processing multiple
equalities of ON expressions.
The code of substitute_for_best_equal_field() and
the code the helper function eliminate_item_equal()
were also streamlined and cleaned up.
Now the conversion of the multiple equalities into
an optimal set of equality predicates first produces
the sequence of the all equalities processing multiple
equalities one by one, and, only after this, it inserts
the equalities at the beginning of the other conditions.
The multiple changes in the output of EXPLAIN
EXTENDED are mainly the result of this streamlining,
but in some cases is the result of the removal of
unneeded equalities from ON expressions. In
some test cases this removal were reflected in the
output of EXPLAIN resulted in disappearance of
“Using where” in some rows of the execution plans.
