(with the following commits) and related changes in sql/
Start the client API for low-level protocol access:
* unsigned long mysql_net_read_packet(MYSQL *mysql);
* unsigned long mysql_net_field_length(unsigned char **packet);
Problem was that repair() did lock and unlock tables, which leaved already locked tables in wrong state
include/my_check_opt.h:
Added option T_NO_LOCKS to disable locking during repair()
Fixed duplicated bit T_NO_CREATE_RENAME_LSN

Problem: For every event read, mysqlbinlog calls localtime() which in turn
calls stat(/etc/localtime) which is causing kernel mutex contention.
Analysis and Fix:
localtime() calls stat(/etc/localtime) for every instance of the call
where as localtime_r() the reentrant version was optimized to store
the read only tz internal structure. Hence it will not call
stat(/etc/localtime). It will call only once at the beginning.
The mysql server is calling localtime_r() and mysqlbinlog tool is
one place where we are still using localtime().
Once the process (mysqlbinlog) is started if timezone is changed
it will be not picked up the the process and it will continue
with the same values as the beginning of the process. This
behavior is in-lined with mysql server.
Also adding localtime_r() and gmtime_r() support for windows.

The reason for the failure was a bug in an include file on debian that causes 'struct stat'
to have different sized depending on the environment.
This patch fixes so that we always include my_global.h or my_config.h before we include any other files.
Other things:
- Removed #include <my_global.h> in some include files; Better to always do this at the top level to have as few
"always-include-this-file-first' files as possible.
- Removed usage of some include files that where already included by my_global.h or by other files.

The Item_string constructors called set_name() on the source string,
which was wrong because in case of UCS2/UTF16/UTF32 the source value
might be a not well formed string (e.g. have incomplete leftmost character).
Now set_name() is called on str_value after its copied
(with optionally left zero padding) from the source string.
- MDEV-6694 Illegal mix of collation with a PS parameter
Item_param::convert_str_value() did not set repertoire.
Introducing a new structure MY_STRING_METADATA to collect
character length and repertoire of a string in a single loop,
to avoid two separate loops. Adding a new class Item_basic_value::Metadata
as a convenience wrapper around MY_STRING_METADATA, to reuse the
code between Item_string and Item_param.
Part of this work is based on Stewart Smitch's memory barrier and lower priori
patches for power8.
- Added memory syncronization for innodb & xtradb for power8.
- Added HAVE_WINDOWS_MM_FENCE to CMakeList.txt
- Added os_isync to fix a syncronization problem on power
- Added log_get_lsn_nowait which is now used srv_error_monitor_thread to ensur
if log mutex is locked.
All changes done both for InnoDB and Xtradb
~40% bugfixed(*) applied
~40$ bugfixed reverted (incorrect or we're not buggy)
~20% bugfixed applied, despite us being not buggy
(*) only changes in the server code, e.g. not cmakefiles
Reason for the problem was that the hash of changed files in the key cache was too small (was 128). Fixed by making the hash size larger and changeable.
- Introduced key-cache-file-hash-size (default 512) for MyISAM and aria_pagecache_file_hash_size (default 512) for Aria.
- Added new status variable "Feature_delay_key_write" which counts number of tables opened that are using delay_key_write

The bug was that my_real_read() called net_before_header_psi() multiple times for long packets.
Fixed by adding a flag when we are reading a header.
Did also some cleanups to interface of my_net_read() to avoid unnecessary calls if performance schema is not used.
- Added my_net_read_packet() as a replacement for my_net_read(). my_net_read() is still in the client library for old clients.
- Removed THD->m_server_idle (not needed anymore as this is now given as argument to my_net_read_packet()
- Added my_net_read_packet(), which is a new version of my_net_read() with a new parameter if we are doing a read for a new command from the server.

SHOW PROCESSLIST, SHOW BINLOGS
Problem: A deadlock was occurring when 4 threads were
involved in acquiring locks in the following way
Thread 1: Dump thread ( Slave is reconnecting, so on
Master, a new dump thread is trying kill
zombie dump threads. It acquired thread's
LOCK_thd_data and it is about to acquire
mysys_var->current_mutex ( which LOCK_log)
Thread 2: Application thread is executing show binlogs and
acquired LOCK_log and it is about to acquire
LOCK_index.
Thread 3: Application thread is executing Purge binary logs
and acquired LOCK_index and it is about to
acquire LOCK_thread_count.
Thread 4: Application thread is executing show processlist
and acquired LOCK_thread_count and it is
about to acquire zombie dump thread's
LOCK_thd_data.
Deadlock Cycle:
Thread 1 -> Thread 2 -> Thread 3-> Thread 4 ->Thread 1
The same above deadlock was observed even when thread 4 is
executing 'SELECT * FROM information_schema.processlist' command and
acquired LOCK_thread_count and it is about to acquire zombie
dump thread's LOCK_thd_data.
Analysis:
There are four locks involved in the deadlock. LOCK_log,
LOCK_thread_count, LOCK_index and LOCK_thd_data.
LOCK_log, LOCK_thread_count, LOCK_index are global mutexes
where as LOCK_thd_data is local to a thread.
We can divide these four locks in two groups.
Group 1 consists of LOCK_log and LOCK_index and the order
should be LOCK_log followed by LOCK_index.
Group 2 consists of other two mutexes
LOCK_thread_count, LOCK_thd_data and the order should
be LOCK_thread_count followed by LOCK_thd_data.
Unfortunately, there is no specific predefined lock order defined
to follow in the MySQL system when it comes to locks across these
two groups. In the above problematic example,
there is no problem in the way we are acquiring the locks
if you see each thread individually.
But If you combine all 4 threads, they end up in a deadlock.
Fix:
Since everything seems to be fine in the way threads are taking locks,
In this patch We are changing the duration of the locks in Thread 4
to break the deadlock. i.e., before the patch, Thread 4
('show processlist' command) mysqld_list_processes()
function acquires LOCK_thread_count for the complete duration
of the function and it also acquires/releases
each thread's LOCK_thd_data.
LOCK_thread_count is used to protect addition and
deletion of threads in global threads list. While show
process list is looping through all the existing threads,
it will be a problem if a thread is exited but there is no problem
if a new thread is added to the system. Hence a new mutex is
introduced "LOCK_thd_remove" which will protect deletion
of a thread from global threads list. All threads which are
getting exited should acquire LOCK_thd_remove
followed by LOCK_thread_count. (It should take LOCK_thread_count
also because other places of the code still thinks that exit thread
is protected with LOCK_thread_count. In this fix, we are changing
only 'show process list' query logic )
(Eg: unlink_thd logic will be protected with
LOCK_thd_remove).
Logic of mysqld_list_processes(or file_schema_processlist)
will now be protected with 'LOCK_thd_remove' instead of
'LOCK_thread_count'.
Now the new locking order after this patch is:
LOCK_thd_remove -> LOCK_thd_data -> LOCK_log ->
LOCK_index -> LOCK_thread_count

acquire LOCK_thread_count.
Thread 4: Application thread is executing show processlist
and acquired LOCK_thread_count and it is
about to acquire zombie dump thread's
LOCK_thd_data.
Deadlock Cycle:
Thread 1 -> Thread 2 -> Thread 3-> Thread 4 ->Thread 1
The same above deadlock was observed even when thread 4 is
executing 'SELECT * FROM information_schema.processlist' command and
acquired LOCK_thread_count and it is about to acquire zombie
dump thread's LOCK_thd_data.
Analysis:
There are four locks involved in the deadlock. LOCK_log,
LOCK_thread_count, LOCK_index and LOCK_thd_data.
LOCK_log, LOCK_thread_count, LOCK_index are global mutexes
where as LOCK_thd_data is local to a thread.
We can divide these four locks in two groups.
Group 1 consists of LOCK_log and LOCK_index and the order
should be LOCK_log followed by LOCK_index.
Group 2 consists of other two mutexes
LOCK_thread_count, LOCK_thd_data and the order should
be LOCK_thread_count followed by LOCK_thd_data.
Unfortunately, there is no specific predefined lock order defined
to follow in the MySQL system when it comes to locks across these
two groups. In the above problematic example,
there is no problem in the way we are acquiring the locks
if you see each thread individually.
But If you combine all 4 threads, they end up in a deadlock.
Fix:
Since everything seems to be fine in the way threads are taking locks,
In this patch We are changing the duration of the locks in Thread 4
to break the deadlock. i.e., before the patch, Thread 4
('show processlist' command) mysqld_list_processes()
function acquires LOCK_thread_count for the complete duration
of the function and it also acquires/releases
each thread's LOCK_thd_data.
LOCK_thread_count is used to protect addition and
deletion of threads in global threads list. While show
process list is looping through all the existing threads,
it will be a problem if a thread is exited but there is no problem
if a new thread is added to the system. Hence a new mutex is
introduced "LOCK_thd_remove" which will protect deletion
of a thread from global threads list. All threads which are
getting exited should acquire LOCK_thd_remove
followed by LOCK_thread_count. (It should take LOCK_thread_count
also because other places of the code still thinks that exit thread
is protected with LOCK_thread_count. In this fix, we are changing
only 'show process list' query logic )
(Eg: unlink_thd logic will be protected with
LOCK_thd_remove).
Logic of mysqld_list_processes(or file_schema_processlist)
will now be protected with 'LOCK_thd_remove' instead of
'LOCK_thread_count'.
Now the new locking order after this patch is:
LOCK_thd_remove -> LOCK_thd_data -> LOCK_log ->
LOCK_index -> LOCK_thread_count
