When compressed myisam files are opened, they are always memory mapped
sometimes causing memory swapping problems.
When we mmap the myisam compressed tables of size greater than the memory
available, the kswapd0 process utilization is very high consuming 30-40% of
the cpu. This happens only with linux kernels older than 2.6.9
With newer linux kernels, we don't have this problem of high cpu consumption
and this option may not be required.
The option 'myisam_mmap_size' is added to limit the amount of memory used for
memory mapping of myisam files. This option is not dynamic.
The default value on 32 bit system is 4294967295 bytes and on 64 bit system it
is 18446744073709547520 bytes.
Note: Testcase only tests the option variable. The actual bug has be to
tested manually.
returns incorrect results with where
An outer join of a const table (outer) and a normal table
(inner) with GROUP BY on a field from the outer table would
optimize away GROUP BY, and thus trigger the optimization to
do away with a temporary table if grouping was performed on
columns from the const table, hence executing the query with
filesort without temporary table. But this should not be
done if there is a non-indexed access to the inner table,
since filesort does not handle joins. It expects either ref
access, range ditto or table scan. The join condition will
thus not be applied.
Fixed by always forcing execution with temporary table in
the case of ROLLUP with a query involving an outer join. This
is a slightly broader class of queries than need fixing, but
it is hard to ascertain the position of a ROLLUP field wrt
outer join with current query representation.
Problem: inserting a record we don't set unused null bits in the
record buffer if no default field values used.
That may lead to wrong live checksum calculation.
Fix: set unused null bits in the record buffer in such cases.
from mysql-next-mr-bugfixing into mysql-trunk-bugfixing.
NOTE: the "utf8_phone_ci" collation does not exist in mysql-trunk yet,
so another collation with 2-byte collation ID is used: "utf8_test_ci".
This patch will be null-merged to mysql-next-mr-bugfixing.

message:
Bug#47756 Setting 2byte collation ID with 'set names' crashes the server
The problem is not actually related to 2byte collation IDs.
The same crash happens if you change the collation ID in
mysql-test/str_data/Index.xml to a value smaller than 256.
Crash happened in SQL parser, because the "ident_map" and "state_map"
arrays were not initialized in loadable utf8 collations.
Fix: adding proper initialization of the "ident_map" and "state_map"
members for loadable utf8 collations.

int join_read_key(JOIN_TAB*)
The eq_ref access method TABLE_REF (accessed through
JOIN_TAB) to save state and to track if this is the
first row it finds or not.
This state was not reset on subquery re-execution
causing an assert.
Fixed by resetting the state before the subquery
re-execution.
NULLable BIGINT and INT columns in comparison
Problem: a consequence of the fix for 43668.
Some Arg_comparator inner initialization missed,
that may lead to unpredictable (wrong) comparison
results.
Fix: always properly initialize Arg_comparator
before its usage.

timestamp primary key
Since TIMESTAMP values are adjusted by the current time zone
settings in both numeric and string contexts, using any
expressions involving TIMESTAMP values as a
(sub)partitioning function leads to undeterministic behavior of
partitioned tables. The effect may vary depending on a storage
engine, it can be either incorrect data being retrieved or
stored, or an assertion failure. The root cause of this is the
fact that the calculated partition ID may differ from a
previously calculated ID for the same data due to timezone
adjustments of the partitioning expression value.
Fixed by disabling any expressions involving TIMESTAMP values
to be used in partitioning functions with the follwing two
exceptions:
1. Creating or altering into a partitioned table that violates
the above rule is not allowed, but opening existing such tables
results in a warning rather than an error so that such tables
could be fixed.
2. UNIX_TIMESTAMP() is the only way to get a
timezone-independent value from a TIMESTAMP column, because it
returns the internal representation (a time_t value) of a
TIMESTAMP argument verbatim. So UNIX_TIMESTAMP(timestamp_column)
is allowed and should be used to fix existing tables if one
wants to use TIMESTAMP columns with partitioning.
SPATIAL and FULLTEXT indexes don't support algorithm
selection.
Disabled by creating a special grammar rule for these
in the parser.
Added some encasulation of duplicate parser code.
A few problems were found in the fix for bug 43668:
1) Comparison of the YEAR column with NULL always returned TRUE;
2) Comparison of the YEAR column with constants always returned
unpredictable result;
3) Unnecessary conversion warnings when comparing a non-integer
constant with a NULL value in the YEAR column;
The problems described above have been resolved with an
exception: zero (i.e. invalid) YEAR column value comparison
with 00 or 2000 still fail (it is not a regression and it was
not a regression), so MIN/MAX on YEAR column containing zero
value still fail.
Arg_comparator uses Item_cache objects to store constants being compared when
they're need a type conversion. Because this cache wasn't initialized properly
Arg_comparator might produce wrong comparison result.
The Arg_comparator::cache_converted_constant function now initializes cache
prior to usage.
There are three issues that caused rpl_killed_ddl fails sporadically
in pb2:
1) thd->clear_error() was not called before create Query event
if operation is executed successfully.
2) DATABASE d2 might do exist because the statement to CREATE or
ALTER it was killed
3) because of bug 43353, kill the query that do DROP FUNCTION or
DROP PROCEDURE can result in SP not found
This patch fixed all above issues by:
1) Called thd->clear_error() if the operation succeeded.
2) Add IF EXISTS to the DROP DATABASE d2 statement
3) Temporarily disabled testing DROP FUNCTION/PROCEDURE IF EXISTS.
Part 2 :
There was a special optimization on the ref access method for
ORDER BY ... DESC that was set without actually looking on the type of the
selected index for ORDER BY.
Fixed the SELECT ... ORDER BY .. DESC (it uses a different code path compared
to the ASC that has been fixed with the previous fix).
field='const1' AND field='const2' in some cases
Building multiple equality predicates containing
a constant which is compared as a datetime (with a field)
we should take this fact into account and compare the
constant with another possible constatns as datetimes
as well.
E.g. for the
SELECT ... WHERE a='2001-01-01' AND a='2001-01-01 00:00:00'
we should compare '2001-01-01' with '2001-01-01 00:00:00' as
datetimes but not as strings.
The problem was that the multiple evaluations of a ENCODE or
DECODE function within a single statement caused the random
generator to be reinitialized at each evaluation, even though
the parameters were constants.
The solution is to initialize the random generator only once
if the password (seed) parameter is constant.
This patch borrows code and ideas from Georgi Kodinov's patch.
"mysql_upgrade (ver 5.1) add 3 fields to mysql.proc table but does
not set values".
mysql_upgrade (ver 5.1) adds 3 fields (character_set_client,
collation_connection and db_collation) to the mysql.proc table, but
does not set any values. When we run stored procedures, which were
created with mysql 5.0, a warning is logged into the error log.
The solution to this is for mysql_upgrade to set default best guess
values for these fields. A warning is also written during upgrade, to
make the user aware that default values are set.
