Part of MDEV-13073 AliSQL Optimize performance of semisync
Did the following renames to match other similar variables
key_ss_mutex_LOCK_binlog_ > key_LOCK_bing
key_ss_cond_COND_binlog_send_ -> key_COND_binlog_send
COND_binlog_send_ -> COND_binlog_send
LOCK_binlog_ -> LOCK_binlog
debian/mariadb-server-10.2.install does not install semisync libs.
- Added sql/mariadb.h file that should be included first by files in sql
directory, if sql_plugin.h is not used (sql_plugin.h adds SHOW variables
that must be done before my_global.h is included)
- Removed a lot of include my_global.h from include files
- Removed include's of some files that my_global.h automatically includes
- Removed duplicated include's of my_sys.h
- Replaced include my_config.h with my_global.h
Problem Statement
=========
Fix various issues when building MySQL with Visual Studio 2015.
Fix:
=======
- Visual Studio 2015 adds support for timespec. Add check and
related code to use this and only use our replacement if
timespec is not defined.
- Rename lfind/lsearch to my* to avoid redefinition problems.
- Set default value for TMPDIR to "" on Windows as P_tmpdir
no longer exists.
- using VS definition of snprintf if available
- tzname are now renamed to _tzname.
Bug was that ReplSemiSyncMaster::commitTrx() was waiting on a condition
for state to change, but didn't take into account that one could have
disabled semi-sync during the wait.
Avoid calling current_thd from thd_kill_level(). This reduces number of
pthread_getspecific() calls from 776 to 354.
Also thd_kill_level(NULL) is not permitted anymore: this saves one condition.
Implement --semi-sync-master-wait-point=AFTER_SYNC|AFTER_COMMIT.
When AFTER_SYNC, the semi-sync wait will be done earlier, before the storage
engine commit rather than after. This means that a transaction will not be
visible on the master until at least one slave has received it.
The assertion happens when: (i) the master and slave are configured to
use the semisync plugin; (ii) the DBA disables semisync on the master;
(iii) and he also unsets the option to wait for slaves ACK even if the
semisync slave count reaches 0 during the waiting period. This
combination of factors makes the server run into an assertion as soon
as the last semisync slave disconnects and its dump thread exits.
The root of the problem is the fact that when the dump thread
disconnects and calls the observer hook transmit_stop, which ends up
calling ReplSemiSyncMaster::remove_slave, there is no check whether
the master has already disabled semisync or not. If it has, the then a
second call to the switch_off member function must be avoided.
The quick fix is to avoid calling switch_off if the DBA has disabled
the semisync plugin interactively on the master. Also, the switch_off
member function should only be called if the plugin has not been
switched off already. This is basically the pattern throughout the
rest of the semisync plugin and no other calls seem vulnerable to
similar crashes/assertions.
(This a backport of the patch to 5.5, which is also vulnerable.)

RPL_SEMI_SYNC_MASTER_ENABLED OFF.
Problem:
=======
If master is waiting for a reply from slave, at this time
set global rpl_semi_sync_master_enabled=OFF, the master
server will crash.
Analysis:
========
When master is waiting for a reply from slave, at this time
if semi sync is switched off on master, during switch off if
active transactions are present the transactions will be
cleared and "active_tranxs_" variable will be set to NULL.
When the waiting master connection finds that semi sync is
switched of it tries to access "active_tranxs_" without
checking if the transaction list exists or not. Accessing
NULL transaction list causes the crash.
Fix:
===
A check has been added to see a valid list exists before
accessing the "active_tranxs_".
plugin/semisync/semisync_master.cc:
Added check for the existence of valid 'active_transx_'.
RPL_SEMI_SYNC_MASTER_ENABLED OFF.
Problem:
=======
If master is waiting for a reply from slave, at this time
set global rpl_semi_sync_master_enabled=OFF, the master
server will crash.

If rpl_semi_sync_master_timeout is large, calculation of absolute waiting time in semi-sync plugin is inefficient. This error is specific to systems with 64 bit long values (all 64 bit Unixes)
In rpl_semi_sync_master_timeout has maximal value (= MAX_ULONGLONG), calculating abstime may require ~ 18 billion subtract operations.
The fix is to use division instead of subtraction-in-a-loop. Also fixed an integer overflow bug.
and small collateral changes
mysql-test/lib/My/Test.pm:
somehow with "print" we get truncated writes sometimes
mysql-test/suite/perfschema/r/digest_table_full.result:
md5 hashes of statement digests differ, because yacc token codes are different in mariadb
mysql-test/suite/perfschema/r/dml_handler.result:
host table is not ported over yet
mysql-test/suite/perfschema/r/information_schema.result:
host table is not ported over yet
mysql-test/suite/perfschema/r/nesting.result:
this differs, because we don't rewrite general log queries, and multi-statement
packets are logged as a one entry. this result file is identical to what mysql-5.6.5
produces with the --log-raw option.
mysql-test/suite/perfschema/r/relaylog.result:
MariaDB modifies the binlog index file directly, while MySQL 5.6 has a feature "crash-safe binlog index" and modifies a special "crash-safe" shadow copy of the index file and then moves it over. That's why this test shows "NONE" index file writes in MySQL and "MANY" in MariaDB.
mysql-test/suite/perfschema/r/server_init.result:
MariaDB initializes the "manager" resources from the "manager" thread, and starts this thread only when --flush-time is not 0. MySQL 5.6 initializes "manager" resources unconditionally on server startup.
mysql-test/suite/perfschema/r/stage_mdl_global.result:
this differs, because MariaDB disables query cache when query_cache_size=0. MySQL does not
do that, and this causes useless mutex locks and waits.
mysql-test/suite/perfschema/r/statement_digest.result:
md5 hashes of statement digests differ, because yacc token codes are different in mariadb
mysql-test/suite/perfschema/r/statement_digest_consumers.result:
md5 hashes of statement digests differ, because yacc token codes are different in mariadb
mysql-test/suite/perfschema/r/statement_digest_long_query.result:
md5 hashes of statement digests differ, because yacc token codes are different in mariadb

Fixed compiler warning
The semisync code does a fast-but-unsafe check for enabled or not without lock,
followed by a slow-but-safe check under lock. However, if the slow check failed,
the code still referenced not valid data (in an assert() expression), causing a
crash.
Fixed by not running the incorrect assert when semisync is disabled.
bug in semisync plugin. It didn't check thd->killed before waiting on mysys->current_cond,
and thus an attepmt to kill the thread (on shutdown) was lost
