Problem:
The problem is that explain_filename-t is not printing a test plan as
required by the TAP protocol. The test invokes plan(NO_PLAN) but does not
invoke exit_status() at the end, where the plan would be printed.
Solution:
Invoke exit_status() at the end.

SHOW ENGINE INNOD
Problem:
The purpose of explain_filename() is to provide useful additional
information regarding the partitions given the filename. This function
was returning an error when it was not able to parse the given filename.
For example, within InnoDB, temporary files are created with #sql-
prefix. But this function was not able to parse it correctly.
Solution:
It is not an error, if explain_filename() could not parse the given
filename. If there is no partition information to explain, then silently
return from the function.

COMPILE ON MACOSX LION
The problem was that on optimized builds, the wrong code was generated
for my_atomic_add64 if a variable argument was optimized away as a
constant.
This patch fixes the problem by making the variable volatile.
Another workaround is to specify architecture explicitly using e.g.
CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS= "-m64".
No test case added.
GCC 4.6 has new -Wunused-but-set-variable flag, which is enabled
by -Wall, that causes GCC to emit a warning whenever a local variable
is assigned to, but otherwise unused (aside from its declaration).
Since the maintainer mode uses -Wall and -Werror, source code which
triggers these warnings will be rejected. That is, these warnings
become hard errors.
The solution is to fix the code which triggers these specific warnings.
In most of the cases, this is a welcome cleanup as code which triggers
this warning is probably dead anyway.
dbug/dbug.c:
Unused but set.
libmysqld/lib_sql.cc:
Length is not necessary as the converted error message is always
null-terminated.
sql/item_func.cc:
Make get_var_with_binlog private to this compilation unit.
If a error was raised, do not attempt to evaluate the user
variable as the statement execution will be interrupted
anyway.
sql/mysqld.cc:
Use a void expression to silence the warning. Avoids the use of
macros that would make the code more unreadable than it already is.
sql/protocol.cc:
Length is not necessary as the converted error message is always
null-terminated. Remove unnecessary casts and assignment.
sql/sql_class.h:
Function is only used in a single compilation unit.
sql/sql_load.cc:
Only use the variable outside of EMBEDDED_LIBRARY.
storage/innobase/btr/btr0cur.c:
Do not retrieve field, only the record length is being used.
storage/perfschema/pfs.cc:
Use a void expression to silence the warning.
tests/mysql_client_test.c:
Unused but set.
unittest/mysys/lf-t.c:
Unused but set.
Before this fix, a thread instrumented for the performance schema,
that would perform file io operations, could crash inside the LF_HASH
implementation, in cases when my_thread_init is not called.
The crash itself has not been reported in 5.5 but similar crashes have
been found in 5.6-based development branches, using LF_HASH for
more instrumentation.
The possibility of a crash in 5.5 is confirmed by code analysis.
The problem is that, when my_thread_init() is not called,
which can happen for threads in storage engines or thirs party code,
my_thread_var is NULL.
Using my_thread_var->stacks_ends_here in mysys/lf_alloc-pin.c is unsafe.
Given that my_thread_var is used:
- only for stacks_ends_here
- only on platform with HAVE_ALLOCA
- only when there is enough room on the stack
and given that the LF_HASH implementation has a fallback
algorythm implemented already when using alloca is not possible,
using my_thread_var->stacks_ends_here is in fact not a strict requirement,
and can be relaxed.
The fix is to:
- test explicitly if my_thread_var is NULL, to account for cases
when my_thread_init() is not used by the calling thread.
- not use alloca in this case, and rely on the fall back code already in place.
so that the LF_HASH can be supported even without my_thread_init().
The implementation of mysys/lf_alloc-pin.c has been fixed to support this new usage.
The units tests in unittest/mysys/lf-t.c have been adjusted accordingly.
Assertion `bitmap_is_set_all(&table->s->all_set)' failed in
handler::ha_reset
This followup fixes the compilation warning
'test_bit' may be used uninitialized in this function
introduced by the previous patch.
Assertion `bitmap_is_set_all(&table->s->all_set)' failed in
handler::ha_reset
This assertion could be triggered if two connections simultaneously
executed two bitmap test functions on the same bitmap. For example,
the assertion could be triggered if one connection executed UPDATE
while a second connection executed SELECT on the same table.
Even if bitmap test functions have read-only semantics and have
const bitmaps as parameter, several of them modified the internal
state of the bitmap. With interleaved execution of two such functions
it was possible for one function to modify the state of the same
bitmap that the other function had just modified. This lead to an
inconsistent state and could trigger the assert.
Internally the bitmap uses 32 bit words for storage. Since bitmaps
can contain any number of bits, the last word in the bitmap may
not be fully used. A 32 bit mask is maintained where a bit is set
if the corresponding bit in the last bitmap word is unused.
The problem was that several test functions applied this mask to
the last word. Sometimes the mask was negated and used to zero out
the remainder of the last word and sometimes the mask was used as-is
to fill the remainder of the last word with 1's. This meant that if
a function first used the negated mask and another function then
used the mask as-is (or vice-versa), the first function would then
get the wrong result.
This patch fixes the problem by changing the implementation of
9 bitmap functions that modified the bitmap state even if the
bitmap was declared const. These functions now preserve the
internal state of the bitmap. This makes it possible for
two connections to concurrently execute two of these functions
on the same bitmap without issues.
The patch also removes dead testing code from my_bitmap.c.
These tests have already been moved to unittest/mysys/bitmap-t.c.
Existing test coverage of my_bitmap has been extended.
No MTR test case added as this would require adding several sync
points to the bitmap functions. The patch has been tested with
a non-deterministic test case posted on the bug report.
include/my_bit.h:
Removed my_count_bits_ushort() which is not needed anymore.
Added my_count_bits_uint32().
unittest/mysys/bitmap-t.c:
Extended test coverage of my_bitmap.
The autotools-based build system has been superseded and
is being removed in order to ease the maintenance burden on
developers tweaking and maintaining the build system.
In order to support tools that need to extract the server
version, a new file that (only) contains the server version,
called VERSION, is introduced. The file contents are human
and machine-readable. The format is:
MYSQL_VERSION_MAJOR=5
MYSQL_VERSION_MINOR=5
MYSQL_VERSION_PATCH=8
MYSQL_VERSION_EXTRA=-rc
The CMake based version extraction in cmake/mysql_version.cmake
is changed to extract the version from this file. The configure
to CMake wrapper is retained for backwards compatibility and to
support the BUILD/ scripts. Also, a new a makefile target
show-dist-name that prints the server version is introduced.
VERSION:
Add top-level version file.
cmake/mysql_version.cmake:
Get version information from the top-level VERSION file.
Do not cache the version components (MAJOR_VERSION, etc).
Add MYSQL_RPM_VERSION as a replacement for MYSQL_U_SCORE_VERSION.
Fix assorted compiler warnings.
include/my_pthread.h:
Like for pthread_cond_timedwait, the abstime is constant.
mysys/my_gethwaddr.c:
Instead of using a manual copy that introduce warnings due to
type mismatch, copy the buffer using memcpy and use memcmp to
check whether all bytes of the buffer are zeroed.
mysys/thr_mutex.c:
Like for pthread_cond_timedwait, the abstime is constant.
unittest/mytap/tap.h:
Introduce a ok() variant that does not take a format argument.
Since ok() is tagged with a printf attribute, GCC complains if
the fmt argument is NULL.
The crash during boot was caused by a DBUG_PRINT statement in fill_schema_schemata() (in
sql_show.cc). This DBUG_PRINT statement contained several instances of %s in the format
string and for one of these we gave a NULL pointer as the argument. This caused the
call to vsnprintf() to crash when running on Solaris.
The fix for this problem is to replace the call to vsnprintf() with my_vsnprintf()
which handles that a NULL pointer is passed as argumens for %s.
This patch also extends my_vsnprintf() to support %i in the format string.
dbug/dbug.c:
Replace the use of vsnprintf() with my_vsnprintf(). On some platforms
vsnprintf() did not handle that a NULL pointer was given as an argument
for a %s in the format string.
include/mysql/service_my_snprintf.h:
Add support for %i in format string to my_vsnprintf().
strings/my_vsnprintf.c:
Add support for %i in format string to my_vsnprintf().
unittest/mysys/my_vsnprintf-t.c:
Add unit tests for %i in format string to my_vsnprintf().
Problem: The functions my_like_range_xxx() returned
badly formed maximum strings for Asian character sets,
which made problems for storage engines.
Fix:
- Removed a number my_like_range_xxx() implementations,
which were in fact dumplicate code pieces.
- Using generic my_like_range_mb() instead.
- Setting max_sort_char member properly for Asian character sets
- Adding unittest/strings/strings-t.c,
to test that my_like_range_xxx() return well-formed
min and max strings.
Notes:
- No additional tests in mysql/t/ available.
Old tests cover the affected code well enough.
Bug#52261: 64 bit atomic operations do not work on Solaris i386
gcc in debug compilation
One of the various problems was that the source operand to
CMPXCHG8b was marked as a input/output operand, causing GCC
to use the EBX register as the destination register for the
CMPXCHG8b instruction. This could lead to crashes as the EBX
register is also implicitly used by the instruction, causing
the value to be potentially garbaged and a protection fault
once the value is used to access a position in memory.
Another problem was the lack of proper clobbers for the atomic
operations and, also, a discrepancy between the implementations
for the Compare and Set operation. The specific problems are
described and fixed by Kristian Nielsen patches:
Patch: 1
Fix bugs in my_atomic_cas*(val,cmp,new) that *cmp is accessed
after CAS succeds.
In the gcc builtin implementation, problem was that *cmp was
read again after atomic CAS to check if old *val == *cmp;
this fails if CAS is successful and another thread modifies
*cmp in-between.
In the x86-gcc implementation, problem was that *cmp was set
also in the case of successful CAS; this means there is a
window where it can clobber a value written by another thread
after successful CAS.
Patch 2:
Add a GCC asm "memory" clobber to primitives that imply a
memory barrier.
This signifies to GCC that any potentially aliased memory
must be flushed before the operation, and re-read after the
operation, so that read or modification in other threads of
such memory values will work as intended.
In effect, it makes these primitives work as memory barriers
for the compiler as well as the CPU. This is better and more
correct than adding "volatile" to variables.
include/atomic/gcc_builtins.h:
Do not read from *cmp after the operation as it might be
already gone if the operation was successful.
include/atomic/nolock.h:
Prefer system provided atomics over the broken x86 asm.
include/atomic/x86-gcc.h:
Do not mark source operands as input/output operands.
Add proper memory clobbers.
include/my_atomic.h:
Add notes about my_atomic_add and my_atomic_cas behaviors.
unittest/mysys/my_atomic-t.c:
Remove work around, if it fails, there is either a problem
with the atomic operations code or the specific compiler
version should be black-listed.
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.
client/mysqldump.c:
Pass my_free directly as its signature is compatible with the
callback type -- which wasn't the case for free_table_ent.
The atomic operations implementation on 5.1 has a few problems,
which might cause tests to abort randomly. Since no code in 5.1
uses atomic operations, simply remove the code.
