SHOW ALL PROBLEMS FOR MERGE TABLE COMPLIANCE IN 5.1".
The problem was that CHECK/REPAIR TABLE for a MERGE table which
had several children missing or in wrong engine reported only
issue with the first such table in its result-set. While in 5.0
this statement returned the whole list of problematic tables.
Ability to report problems for all children was lost during
significant refactorings of MERGE code which were done as part
of work on 5.1 and 5.5 releases.
This patch restores status quo ante refactorings by changing
code in such a way that:
1) Failure to open child table due to its absence during CHECK/
REPAIR TABLE for a MERGE table is not reported immediately
when its absence is discovered in open_tables(). Instead
handling/error reporting in such a situation is postponed
until the moment when children are attached.
2) Code performing attaching of children no longer stops when
it encounters first problem with one of the children during
CHECK/REPAIR TABLE. Instead it continues iteration through
the child list until all problems caused by child absence/
wrong engine are reported.
Note that even after this change problem with mismatch of
child/parent definition won't be reported if there is also
another child missing, but this is how it was in 5.0 as well.
When executing row-ordered-retrieval index merge,
the handler was cloned, but it used the wrong
memory root, so instead of allocating memory
on the thread/query's mem_root, it used the table's
mem_root, resulting in non released memory in the
table object, and was not freed until the table was
closed.
Solution was to ensure that memory used during cloning
of a handler was allocated from the correct memory root.
This was implemented by fixing handler::clone() to also
take a name argument, so it can be used with partitioning.
And in ha_partition only allocate the ha_partition's ref, and
call the original ha_partition partitions clone() and set at cloned
partitions.
Fix of .bzrignore on Windows with VS 2010
"set optimizer_switch to e or d causes invalid memory writes/valgrind warnings":
due to prefix support, the argument "e" was overwritten with its full value
"engine_condition_pushdown", which caused a buffer overrun.
This was wrong usage of find_type(); other wrong usages are fixed here too.

and 'THREAD_SAFE_CLIENT'.
As of MySQL 5.5, we no longer support non-threaded
builds. This patch removes all references to the
obsolete THREAD and THREAD_SAFE_CLIENT preprocessor
symbols. These were used to distinguish between
threaded and non-threaded builds.
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.
Fix assorted warnings that are generated in optimized builds.
Most of it is silencing variables that are set but unused.
This patch also introduces the MY_ASSERT_UNREACHABLE macro
which helps the compiler to deduce that a certain piece of
code is unreachable.
Bug#54678: InnoDB, TRUNCATE, ALTER, I_S SELECT, crash or deadlock
- Incompatible change: truncate no longer resorts to a row by
row delete if the storage engine does not support the truncate
method. Consequently, the count of affected rows does not, in
any case, reflect the actual number of rows.
- Incompatible change: it is no longer possible to truncate a
table that participates as a parent in a foreign key constraint,
unless it is a self-referencing constraint (both parent and child
are in the same table). To work around this incompatible change
and still be able to truncate such tables, disable foreign checks
with SET foreign_key_checks=0 before truncate. Alternatively, if
foreign key checks are necessary, please use a DELETE statement
without a WHERE condition.
Problem description:
The problem was that for storage engines that do not support
truncate table via a external drop and recreate, such as InnoDB
which implements truncate via a internal drop and recreate, the
delete_all_rows method could be invoked with a shared metadata
lock, causing problems if the engine needed exclusive access
to some internal metadata. This problem originated with the
fact that there is no truncate specific handler method, which
ended up leading to a abuse of the delete_all_rows method that
is primarily used for delete operations without a condition.
Solution:
The solution is to introduce a truncate handler method that is
invoked when the engine does not support truncation via a table
drop and recreate. This method is invoked under a exclusive
metadata lock, so that there is only a single instance of the
table when the method is invoked.
Also, the method is not invoked and a error is thrown if
the table is a parent in a non-self-referencing foreign key
relationship. This was necessary to avoid inconsistency as
some integrity checks are bypassed. This is inline with the
fact that truncate is primarily a DDL operation that was
designed to quickly remove all data from a table.
for ALTER TABLE + MERGE tables
The patch for Bug#56292 changed how metadata locks are taken for MERGE
tables. After the patch, locking the MERGE table will also lock the
children tables with the same metadata lock type. This means that
LOCK TABLES on a MERGE table also will implicitly do LOCK TABLES on
the children tables.
A consequence of this change, is that it is possible to do LOCK TABLES
on a child table both explicitly and implicitly with the same statement
and that these two locks can be of different strength. For example,
LOCK TABLES child READ, merge WRITE.
In LOCK TABLES mode, we are not allowed to take new locks and each
statement must therefore try to find an existing TABLE instance with
a suitable lock. The code that searched for a suitable TABLE instance,
only considered table level locks. If a child table was locked twice,
it was therefore possible for this code to find a TABLE instance with
suitable table level locks but without suitable metadata lock.
This problem caused the assert in upgrade_shared_lock_to_exclusive()
to be triggered as it tried to upgrade a MDL_SHARED lock to
EXCLUSIVE. The problem was a regression caused by the patch for
Bug#56292.
This patch fixes the problem by partially reverting the changes
done by Bug#56292. Now, the children tables will only use the
same metadata lock as the MERGE table for MDL_SHARED_NO_WRITE
when not in locked tables mode. This means that LOCK TABLE
on a MERGE table will not implicitly lock the children tables.
This still fixes the original problem in Bug#56292 without
causing a regression.
Test case added to merge.test.
ALTER TABLE on a MERGE table could cause a deadlock with two
other connections if we reached a situation where:
1) A connection doing ALTER TABLE can't upgrade to MDL_EXCLUSIVE on the
parent table, but holds TL_READ_NO_INSERT on the child tables.
2) A connection doing DELETE on a child table can't get TL_WRITE on it
since ALTER TABLE holds TL_READ_NO_INSERT.
3) A connection doing SELECT on the parent table can't get TL_READ on
the child tables since TL_WRITE is ahead in the lock queue, but holds
MDL_SHARED_READ on the parent table preventing ALTER TABLE from upgrading.
For regular tables, this deadlock is avoided by having ALTER TABLE
take a MDL_SHARED_NO_WRITE metadata lock on the table. This prevents
DELETE from acquiring MDL_SHARED_WRITE on the table before ALTER TABLE
tries to upgrade to MDL_EXCLUSIVE. In the example above, SELECT would
therefore not be blocked by the pending DELETE as DELETE would not be
able to enter TL_WRITE in the table lock queue.
This patch fixes the problem for merge tables by using the same metadata
lock type for child tables as for the parent table. The child tables will
in this case therefore be locked with MDL_SHARED_NO_WRITE, preventing
DELETE from acquiring a metadata lock and enter into the table lock queue.
Change in behavior: By taking the same metadata lock for child tables
as for the parent table, LOCK TABLE on the parent table will now also
implicitly lock the child tables. Since LOCK TABLE on the parent table
now takes more than one metadata lock, it is possible for LOCK TABLE
... WRITE on the parent table or child tables to give ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK
error.
Test case added to mdl_sync.test.
Merge.test/.result has been updated to reflect the change to LOCK TABLE.
Fix warnings flagged by the new warning option -Wunused-but-set-variable
that was added to GCC 4.6 and that is enabled by -Wunused and -Wall. The
option causes a warning whenever a local variable is assigned to but is
later unused. It also warns about meaningless pointer dereferences.
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.
Apart strict-aliasing warnings, fix the remaining warnings
generated by GCC 4.4.4 -Wall and -Wextra flags.
One major source of warnings was the in-house function my_bcmp
which (unconventionally) took pointers to unsigned characters
as the byte sequences to be compared. Since my_bcmp and bcmp
are deprecated functions whose only difference with memcmp is
the return value, every use of the function is replaced with
memcmp as the special return value wasn't actually being used
by any caller.
There were also various other warnings, mostly due to type
mismatches, missing return values, missing prototypes, dead
code (unreachable) and ignored return values.

Bug#36171 - CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE and MERGE engine
In former MySQL versions, up to 5.1.23/6.0.4 it was possible to create
temporary MERGE tables with non-temporary MyISAM tables.
This has been changed in the mentioned version due to Bug 19627
(temporary merge table locking). MERGE children were locked through
the parent table. If the parent was temporary, it was not locked and
so the children were not locked either. Parallel use of the MyISAM
tables corrupted them.
Since 6.0.6 (WL 4144 - Lock MERGE engine children), the children are
locked independently from the parent. Now it is possible to allow
non-temporary children with a temporary parent. Even though the
temporary MERGE table itself is not locked, each non-temporary
MyISAM table is locked anyway.
NOTE: Behavior change: In 5.1.23/6.0.4 we prohibited non-temporary
children with a temporary MERGE table. Now we re-allow it.
An important side-effect is that temporary tables, which overlay
non-temporary MERGE children, overlay the children in the MERGE table.
and a backport of relevant changes from the 6.0
version of the fix done by Ingo Struewing.
The bug itself was fixed by the patch for Bug#54811.
MyISAMMRG engine would try to use MMAP on its children
even on platforms that don't support it and even if
myisam_use_mmap option was off.
This lead to an infinite hang in INSERT ... SELECT into
a MyISAMMRG table when the destination MyISAM table
was also selected from.
A bug in duplicate detection fixed by 54811 was essential to
the hang - when a duplicate is detected, the optimizer
disables the use of memory mapped files, and it wasn't the case.
The patch below is also to not turn on MMAP on children tables
if myisam_use_mmap is off.
A test case is added to cover MyISAMMRG and myisam_use_mmap
option.
Bug#47633 - assert in ha_myisammrg::info during OPTIMIZE
The server crashed on an attempt to optimize a MERGE table with
non-existent child table.
mysql_admin_table() relied on the table to be successfully open
if a table object had been allocated.
Changed code to check return value of the open function before
calling a handler:: function on it.
strict aliasing violations.
One somewhat major source of strict-aliasing violations and
related warnings is the SQL_LIST structure. For example,
consider its member function `link_in_list` which takes
a pointer to pointer of type T (any type) as a pointer to
pointer to unsigned char. Dereferencing this pointer, which
is done to reset the next field, violates strict-aliasing
rules and might cause problems for surrounding code that
uses the next field of the object being added to the list.
The solution is to use templates to parametrize the SQL_LIST
structure in order to deference the pointers with compatible
types. As a side bonus, it becomes possible to remove quite
a few casts related to acessing data members of SQL_LIST.
Fix various mismatches between function's language linkage. Any
particular function that is declared in C++ but should be callable
from C must have C linkage. Note that function types with different
linkages are also distinct. Thus, if a function type is declared in
C code, it will have C linkage (same if declared in a extern "C"
block).

SunStudio compilers of late warn about methods that might hide

with overriding. SunStudio also warns about variables defined
in local socpe or method arguments that have the same name as
a member attribute of the class.
This patch renames methods that might hide base class methods,

actually called. It also renames variables in local scope.
work in 5.1.40)
MERGE engine fails to open child table from a different
database if child table/database name contains characters
that are subject for table name to filename encoding
(WL1324).
Another problem is that MERGE engine didn't properly open
child table from the same database if child table name
contains characters like '/', '#'.
The problem was that table name to file name encoding was
applied inconsistently:
* On CREATE: encode table name + database name if child
table is in different database; do not encode table
name if child table is in the same database;
* No decoding on open.
With this fix child table/database names are always
encoded on CREATE and decoded on open. Compatibility
with older tables preserved.
Along with this patch comes fix for SHOW CREATE TABLE,
which used to show child table/database path instead
of child table/database names.
If a prepared statement used both a MyISAMMRG table and a stored
function or trigger, execution could fail with "No such table"
error or crash.
The error would come from a failure of the MyISAMMRG engine
to meet the expectations of the prelocking algorithm,
in particular maintain lex->query_tables_own_last pointer
in sync with lex->query_tables_last pointer/the contents
of lex->query_tables. When adding merge children, the merge
engine would extend the table list. Then, when adding
prelocked tables, the prelocking algorithm would use a pointer
to the last merge child to assign to lex->query_tables_own_last.
Then, when merge children were removed at the end of
open_tables(), lex->query_tables_own_last
was not updated, and kept pointing
to a removed merge child.
The fix ensures that query_tables_own_last is always in
sync with lex->query_tables_last.
This is a regression introduced by WL#4144 and present only
in next-4284 tree and 6.0.
