FUNCTION 'PTHREAD_INIT'
The problem was that compilation would fail with a warning:
Implicit declaration of function 'pthread_init' if MySQL was
compiled on OS X 10.7 (Lion). The reason was that pthread_init()
is now part of an internal OS X pthread library so it was found
by CMake.
This patch fixes the problem by removing HAVE_PTHREAD_INIT and
related code. pthread_init() was specific to MIT-pthreads which
has not been supported since 4.1 and was therefore no longer
relevant.
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.
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.
- Removed files specific to compiling on OS/2
- Removed files specific to SCO Unix packaging
- Removed "libmysqld/copyright", text is included in documentation
- Removed LaTeX headers for NDB Doxygen documentation
- Removed obsolete NDB files
- Removed "mkisofs" binaries
- Removed the "cvs2cl.pl" script
- Changed a few GPL texts to use "program" instead of "library"
The autotools-based build system has been superseded and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.
(variables_debug fails)
The problem was that "SET GLOBAL debug" could cause a crash on Solaris.
The crash happened if the server failed to open the trace file given in
the "SET GLOBAL debug" statement. This caused an error message to be
printed to stderr containing the process name. However, printing to
stderr crashed the server since the pointer to the process name had
not been initialized.
This patch fixes the problem by initializing the process name
properly when doing "SET GLOBAL debug".
No test case added as this bug was repeatable with existing test
coverage in variables_debug.test.
For crash testing: kill the server without generating core file.
include/my_dbug.h
Use kill(getpid(), SIGKILL) which cannot be caught by signal handlers.
All DBUG_XXX macros should be no-ops in optimized mode, do that for DBUG_ABORT as well.
sql/handler.cc
Kill server without generating core.
sql/log.cc
Kill server without generating core.
This crash occured if the same debug trace file was closed twice,
leading to the same memory being free'd twice. This could occur
if the "debug" server system variable refered to the same trace
file in both global and session scope.
Example of an order of events that would lead to a crash:
1) Enable debug tracing to a trace file (global scope)
2) Enable debug tracing to the same trace file (session scope)
3) Reset debug settings (global scope)
4) Reset debug settings (session scope)
This caused a crash because the trace file was, by mistake, closed
in 3), leading to the same memory being free'd twice when the file
was closed again in 4).
Internally, the debug settings are stored in a stack, with session
settings (if any) on top and the global settings below. Each connection
has its own stack. When a set of settings is changed, it must be
determined if its debug trace file is to be closed. Before, this was done
by only checking below on the settings stack. So if the global settings
were changed, an existing debug trace file reference in session settings
would be missed. This caused the file to be closed even if it was in use,
leading to a crash later when it was closed again.
This patch fixes the problem by preventing the trace file from being shared
between global and session settings. If session debug settings are set without
specifying a new trace file, stderr is used for output. This is a change
in behaviour and should be reflected in the documentation.
Test case added to variables.test.
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.
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.
in mysql-trunk-merge).
There were two problems:
- a mistake during merge of a patch for Bug 52629 from 5.1;
- MTR treated auxilary output of newer valgrind as an error.
The fixes are:
- Fix merge error;
- Teach MTR to skip 'HEAP summary' section of valgrind output.
Server crashes on 64bit linux with 'double free or corruption'
message, on 32bit mysql-test-run silently fails on bootstrap
stage. The problem is that FreeState() is called twice
for init_settings struct in _db_end_ function.
The fix is to remove superfluous FreeState() call.
Additional fix:
fixed discrepancy of result file when
debug & valgrind options are enabled
for MTR.

When re-setting (SET GLOBAL debug='') the GLOBAL debug settings the
server was not freeing the data elements from the top (initial) frame
before setting them to 0 without freeing the underlying memory. As these
are global settings there's a chance that something is there already.
Fixed by :
1. making sure the allocated data are cleaned up before re-setting them
while parsing a debug string
2. making sure the stuff allocated in the global settings is freed on
shutdown.

CMakeLists.txt files cleanup
- remove SAFEMALLOC and SAFE_MUTEX definitions that were
present in *each* CMakeLists.txt. Instead, put them into top level
CMakeLists.txt, but disable on Windows, because
a) SAFEMALLOC does not add any functionality that is not already
present in Debug C runtime ( and 2 safe malloc one on top of the other
only unnecessarily slows down the server)
b)SAFE_MUTEX does not work on Windows and have been
explicitely disabled on Windows with #undef previously. Fortunately,
ntdll does pretty good job identifying l problems with
CRITICAL_SECTIONs.
DebugBreak()s on using uninited critical section, unlocking unowned
critical section)
-Also, remove occationally used -D_DEBUG (added by compiler
anyway)
NOTE: Backporting the patch to next-mr.
WL#4828 Augment DBUG_ENTER/DBUG_EXIT to crash MySQL in different functions
-------
The assessment of the replication code in the presence of faults is extremely
import to increase reliability. In particular, one needs to know if servers
will either correctly recovery or print out appropriate error messages thus
avoiding unexpected problems in a production environment.
In order to accomplish this, the current patch refactories the debug macros
already provided in the source code and introduces three new macros that
allows to inject faults, specifically crashes, while entering or exiting a
function or method. For instance, to crash a server while returning from
the init_slave function (see module sql/slave.cc), one needs to do what
follows:
1 - Modify the source replacing DBUG_RETURN by DBUG_CRASH_RETURN;
DBUG_CRASH_RETURN(0);
2 - Use the debug variable to activate dbug instructions:
SET SESSION debug="+d,init_slave_crash_return";
The new macros are briefly described below:
DBUG_CRASH_ENTER (function) is equivalent to DBUG_ENTER which registers the
beginning of a function but in addition to it allows for crashing the server
while entering the function if the appropriate dbug instruction is activate.
In this case, the dbug instruction should be "+d,function_crash_enter".
DBUG_CRASH_RETURN (value) is equivalent to DBUG_RETURN which notifies the
end of a function but in addition to it allows for crashing the server
while returning from the function if the appropriate dbug instruction is
activate. In this case, the dbug instruction should be
"+d,function_crash_return". Note that "function" should be the same string
used by either the DBUG_ENTER or DBUG_CRASH_ENTER.
DBUG_CRASH_VOID_RETURN (value) is equivalent to DBUG_VOID_RETURN which
notifies the end of a function but in addition to it allows for crashing
the server while returning from the function if the appropriate dbug
instruction is activate. In this case, the dbug instruction should be
"+d,function_crash_return". Note that "function" should be the same string
used by either the DBUG_ENTER or DBUG_CRASH_ENTER.
To inject other faults, for instance, wrong return values, one should rely
on the macros already available. The current patch also removes a set of
macros that were either not being used or were redundant as other macros
could be used to provide the same feature. In the future, we also consider
dynamic instrumentation of the code.
BUG#45747 DBUG_CRASH_* is not setting the strict option
---------
When combining DBUG_CRASH_* with "--debug=d:t:i:A,file" the server crashes
due to a call to the abort function in the DBUG_CRASH_* macro althought the
appropriate keyword has not been set.
The problem here is that embedded server starts handle_thread manager
thread on mysql_library_init() does not stop it on mysql_library_end().
At shutdown, my_thread_global_end() waits for thread count to become 0,
but since we did not stop the thread it will give up after 5 seconds.
Solution is to move shutdown for handle_manager thread from kill_server()
(mysqld specific) to clean_up() that is used by both embedded and mysqld.
This patch also contains some refactorings - to avoid duplicate code,
start_handle_manager() and stop_handle_manager() functions are introduced.
Unused variables are eliminated. handle_manager does not rely on global
variable abort_loop anymore to stop (abort_loop is not set for embedded).
Note: Specifically on Windows and when using DBUG version of libmysqld,
the complete solution requires removing obsolete code my_thread_init()
from my_thread_var(). This has a side effect that a DBUG statement
after my_thread_end() can cause thread counter to be incremented, and
embedded will hang for some seconds. Or worse, my_thread_init() will
crash if critical sections have been deleted by the global cleanup
routine that runs in a different thread.
This patch also fixes and revert prior changes for Bug#38293
"Libmysqld crash in mysql_library_init if language file missing".
Root cause of the crash observed in Bug#38293 was bug in my_thread_init()
described above
That's a Win-specific error.
When we create libmysqld.dll we have many libraries like mysys, dbug,
strings, etc linked into that dll, so the application built upon
this library shouldn't link these libraries to itself, rather use
those inside the dll.
Fixed by redirecting calls into the libmysqld.dll
