and cryptic error 1126 message
The problem was that dlopen() related code was using just a subset
of the path normalization routines used in other places.
Fixed the expansion of the pre-dlopen() behavior for plugins and UDFs
to use a platform-dependent consistent encoding of the paths.
Fixed the error dlopen() error handling to take the correct error message
and strip off the trailing newline character(s).
Fixed tests to do a platform independent replace of directories and to
account for the traling slash.
ALTER TABLE AND/OR PLUGIN/SEMISYNC
If a plugin was uninstalled, thread local values for plugin
variables of string type with PLUGIN_VAR_MEMALLOC flag were
not freed.
With this patch these variables are freed when thread is
done (like all other variables).
In sql_class.cc, 'row_count', of type 'ha_rows', was used as last argument for
ER_TRUNCATED_WRONG_VALUE_FOR_FIELD which is
"Incorrect %-.32s value: '%-.128s' for column '%.192s' at row %ld".
So 'ha_rows' was used as 'long'.
On SPARC32 Solaris builds, 'long' is 4 bytes and 'ha_rows' is 'longlong' i.e. 8 bytes.
So the printf-like code was reading only the first 4 bytes.
Because the CPU is big-endian, 1LL is 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x01
so the first four bytes yield 0. So the warning message had "row 0" instead of
"row 1" in test outfile_loaddata.test:
-Warning 1366 Incorrect string value: '\xE1\xE2\xF7' for column 'b' at row 1
+Warning 1366 Incorrect string value: '\xE1\xE2\xF7' for column 'b' at row 0
All error-messaging functions which internally invoke some printf-life function
are potential candidate for such mistakes.
One apparently easy way to catch such mistakes is to use
ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT (from my_attribute.h).
But this works only when call site has both:
a) the format as a string literal
b) the types of arguments.
So:
func(ER(ER_BLAH), 10);
will silently not be checked, because ER(ER_BLAH) is not known at
compile time (it is known at run-time, and depends on the chosen
language).
And
func("%s", a va_list argument);
has the same problem, as the *real* type of arguments is not
known at this site at compile time (it's known in some caller).
Moreover,
func(ER(ER_BLAH));
though possibly correct (if ER(ER_BLAH) has no '%' markers), will not
compile (gcc says "error: format not a string literal and no format
arguments").
Consequences:
1) ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT is here added only to functions which in practice
take "string literal" formats: "my_error_reporter" and "print_admin_msg".
2) it cannot be added to the other functions: my_error(),
push_warning_printf(), Table_check_intact::report_error(),
general_log_print().
To do a one-time check of functions listed in (2), the following
"static code analysis" has been done:
1) replace
my_error(ER_xxx, arguments for substitution in format)
with the equivalent
my_printf_error(ER_xxx,ER(ER_xxx), arguments for substitution in
format),
so that we have ER(ER_xxx) and the arguments *in the same call site*
2) add ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT to push_warning_printf(),
Table_check_intact::report_error(), general_log_print()
3) replace ER(xxx) with the hard-coded English text found in
errmsg.txt (like: ER(ER_UNKNOWN_ERROR) is replaced with
"Unknown error"), so that a call site has the format as string literal
4) this way, ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT can effectively do its job
5) compile, fix errors detected by ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT
6) revert steps 1-2-3.
The present patch has no compiler error when submitted again to the
static code analysis above.
It cannot catch all problems though: see Field::set_warning(), in
which a call to push_warning_printf() has a variable error
(thus, not replacable by a string literal); I checked set_warning() calls
by hand though.
See also WL 5883 for one proposal to avoid such bugs from appearing
again in the future.
The issues fixed in the patch are:
a) mismatch in types (like 'int' passed to '%ld')
b) more arguments passed than specified in the format.
This patch resolves mismatches by changing the type/number of arguments,
not by changing error messages of sql/share/errmsg.txt. The latter would be wrong,
per the following old rule: errmsg.txt must be as stable as possible; no insertions
or deletions of messages, no changes of type or number of printf-like format specifiers,
are allowed, as long as the change impacts a message already released in a GA version.
If this rule is not followed:
- Connectors, which use error message numbers, will be confused (by insertions/deletions
of messages)
- using errmsg.sys of MySQL 5.1.n with mysqld of MySQL 5.1.(n+1)
could produce wrong messages or crash; such usage can easily happen if
installing 5.1.(n+1) while /etc/my.cnf still has --language=/path/to/5.1.n/xxx;
or if copying mysqld from 5.1.(n+1) into a 5.1.n installation.
When fixing b), I have verified that the superfluous arguments were not used in the format
in the first 5.1 GA (5.1.30 'bteam@astra04-20081114162938-z8mctjp6st27uobm').
Had they been used, then passing them today, even if the message doesn't use them
anymore, would have been necessary, as explained above.
When installing plugins, there is a missing check
for slash (/) in the path on Windows. Note that on
Windows, both / and \ can be used to separate
directories.
This patch fixes the issue by:
- Adding a FN_DIRSEP symbol for all platforms
consisting of a string of legal directory
separators.
- Adding a charset-aware version of strcspn().
- Adding a check_valid_path() function that uses
my_strcspn() to check if any FN_DIRSEP character
is in the supplied string.
- Using the check_valid_path() function in
sql_plugin.cc and sql_udf.cc (which means
replacing the existing test there).
If a relative path is supplied to option --defaults-file or
--defaults-extra-file, the server will crash when executing
an INSTALL PLUGIN command. The reason is that the defaults
file is initially read relative the current working directory
when the server is started, but when INSTALL PLUGIN is executed,
the server has changed working directory to the data directory.
Since there is no check that the call to my_load_defaults()
inside mysql_install_plugin(), the subsequence call to
free_defaults() will crash the server.
This patch fixes the problem by:
- Prepending the current working directory to the file name when
a relative path is given to the --defaults-file or --defaults-
extra-file option the first time my_load_defaults() is called,
which is just after the server has started in main().
- Adding a check of the return value of my_load_defaults() inside
mysql_install_plugin() and aborting command (with an error) if
an error is returned.
- It also adds a check of the return value for load_defaults in
lib_sql.cc for the embedded server since that was missing.
To test that the relative files for the options --defaults-file and
--defaults-extra-file is handled properly, mysql-test-run.pl is also
changed to not add a --defaults-file option if one is provided in the
tests *.opt file.
attempt to install a plugin twice
Server crashes when [UN]INSTALL PLUGIN fails (returns an
error) and general log is disabled and there are audit
plugins interested in MYSQL_AUDIT_GENERAL_CLASS.
When audit event is triggered, audit subsystem acquires interested
plugins by walking through plugin list. Evidently plugin list
iterator protects plugin list by acquiring LOCK_plugin, see
plugin_foreach_with_mask().
On the other hand [UN]INSTALL PLUGIN is acquiring LOCK_plugin
rather for a long time.
When audit event is triggered during [UN]INSTALL PLUGIN, plugin
list iterator acquires the same lock (within the same thread)
second time.
Repeatable only with general_log disabled, because general_log
triggers MYSQL_AUDIT_GENERAL_LOG event, which acquires audit
plugins before [UN]INSTALL PLUGIN acquired LOCK_plugin.
With this fix we pre-acquire audit plugins for events that
may potentially occur during [UN]INSTALL PLUGIN.
This hack should be removed when LOCK_plugin is fixed so it
protects only what it supposed to protect.
No test case for this fix - we do not have facility to test
audit plugins yet.
check_if_table_exists()
This assert was triggered when the server tried to load plugins
while running in embedded server mode. In embedded server mode,
check_if_table_exists() was used to check if mysql.plugin existed
so that ER_NO_SUCH_TABLE could be silently ignored.
The problem was that this check was done without acquiring a metadata
lock on mysql.plugin first. This triggered the assert.
This patch fixes the problem by removing the call to
check_if_table_exists() from plugin_load(). Instead an error handler
which traps ER_NO_SUCH_TABLE is installed before trying to open
mysql.plugin when running in embedded server mode.
No test coverage added since this assert was triggered by
existing tests running in embedded server mode.
Reverted the ulong->uint diff
Re-applied the first diff.
The original commit message follows:
enum plugin system variables are ulong internally, not int.
On systems where long is not the same as an int it causes
problems.
Fixed by correct typecasting. Removed the test from the
experimental list.
The enum system variables were handled inconsistently
as ints, unsigned int and unsigned long on various places.
This caused problems on platforms on which
sizeof(int) != sizeof(long).
Fixed by homogenizing the type of the enum variables
to unsigned int, since it's size compatible with the C enum
type.
Removed the test from the experimental list.
This patch also fixes Bug#55452 "SET PASSWORD is
replicated twice in RBR mode".
The goal of this patch is to remove the release of
metadata locks from close_thread_tables().
This is necessary to not mistakenly release
the locks in the course of a multi-step
operation that involves multiple close_thread_tables()
or close_tables_for_reopen().
On the same token, move statement commit outside
close_thread_tables().
Other cleanups:
Cleanup COM_FIELD_LIST.
Don't call close_thread_tables() in COM_SHUTDOWN -- there
are no open tables there that can be closed (we leave
the locked tables mode in THD destructor, and this
close_thread_tables() won't leave it anyway).
Make open_and_lock_tables() and open_and_lock_tables_derived()
call close_thread_tables() upon failure.
Remove the calls to close_thread_tables() that are now
unnecessary.
Simplify the back off condition in Open_table_context.
Streamline metadata lock handling in LOCK TABLES
implementation.
Add asserts to ensure correct life cycle of
statement transaction in a session.
Remove a piece of dead code that has also become redundant
after the fix for Bug 37521.
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.
an atomic counter"
Split the large LOCK_open section in open_table().
Do not call open_table_from_share() under LOCK_open.
Remove thd->version.
This fixes
Bug#50589 "Server hang on a query evaluated using a temporary
table"
Bug#51557 "LOCK_open and kernel_mutex are not happy together"
Bug#49463 "LOCK_table and innodb are not nice when handler
instances are created".
This patch has effect on storage engines that rely on
ha_open() PSEA method being called under LOCK_open.
In particular:
1) NDB is broken and left unfixed. NDB relies on LOCK_open
being kept as part of ha_open(), since it uses auto-discovery.
While previously the NDB open code was race-prone, now
it simply fails on asserts.
2) HEAP engine had a race in ha_heap::open() when
a share for the same table could be added twice
to the list of shares, or a dangling reference to a share
stored in HEAP handler. This patch aims to address this
problem by 'pinning' the newly created share in the
internal HEAP engine share list until at least one
handler instance is created using that share.
strict aliasing violations.
Essentially, the problem is that large parts of the server were
developed in simpler times (last decades, pre C99 standard) when
strict aliasing and compilers supporting such optimizations were
rare to non-existent. Thus, when compiling the server with a modern
compiler that uses strict aliasing rules to perform optimizations,
there are several places in the code that might trigger undefined
behavior.
As evinced by some recent bugs, GCC does a somewhat good of job
misoptimizing such code, but on the other hand also gives warnings
about suspicious code. One problem is that the warnings aren't
always accurate, yet we can't afford to just shut them off as we
might miss real cases. False-positive cases are aggravated mostly
by casts that are likely to trigger undefined behavior.
The solution is to start a cleanup process focused on fixing and
reducing the amount of strict-aliasing related warnings produced
by GCC and others compilers. A good deal of noise reduction can
be achieved by just removing useless casts that are product of
historical cruft and are likely to trigger undefined behavior if
dereferenced.

Previously installed dynamic plugins are explicitly not loaded
on startup with --skip-grant-tables enabled. However, INSTALL
PLUGIN/UNINSTALL PLUGIN commands are allowed, and result in
inconsistent error messages (reporting duplicate plugin or
plugin does not exist).
This patch adds a check for --skip-grant-tables mode, and
returns error ER_OPTION_PREVENTS_STATEMENT to the user when
the above commands are attempted.
Potential deadlock situation involving LOCK_plugin,
LOCK_global_system_variables and LOCK_status.
This patch backports the fix from next-mr, unlocking
LOCK_plugin before calling plugin->init() and
add_status_vars().
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

The problem was that UNINSTALL PLUGIN wasn't performing privilege
checks before removing a plugin. Any user (including users without
any kind of privileges) could uninstall any plugin.
The solution is to verify if the user has the DELETE privilege for
the mysql.plugin table before uninstalling a plugin.
This patch prevents system threads and system table accesses from
using user-specified values for "lock_wait_timeout". Instead all
such accesses are done using the default value (1 year).
This prevents background tasks (such as replication, events,
accessing stored function definitions, logging, reading time-zone
information, etc.) from failing in cases where the global value
of "lock_wait_timeout" is set very low.
The patch also simplifies the open tables API. Rather than adding
another convenience function for opening and locking system tables,
this patch removes most of the existing convenience functions for
open_and_lock_tables_derived(). Before, open_and_lock_tables() was
a convenience function that enforced derived tables handling, while
open_and_lock_tables_derived() was the main function where derived
tables handling was optional. Now, this convencience function is
gone and the main function is renamed to open_and_lock_tables().
No test case added as it would have required the use of --sleep to
check that system threads and system tables have a different timeout
value from the user-specified "lock_wait_timeout" system variable.
The number for MYSQL_REPLICATION_PLUGIN was shifted when backporting
because MYSQL_AUDIT_PLUGIN was not backported.
This problem is fixed by backporting only the number of audit plugin
and print an error when trying to load audit plugins. Note that
replication plugins compiled against old MYSQL_REPLICATION_PLUGIN
number will also be recognized as audit plugin and be rejected.
