TABLE ... WRITE".
Memory and CPU hogging occured when connection which had to wait for table
lock was serviced by thread which previously serviced connection that was
killed (note that connections can reuse threads if thread cache is enabled).
One possible scenario which exposed this problem was when thread which
provided binlog dump to replication slave was implicitly/automatically
killed when the same slave reconnected and started pulling data through
different thread/connection.
The problem also occured when one killed particular query in connection
(using KILL QUERY) and later this connection had to wait for some table
lock.
This problem was caused by the fact that thread-specific mysys_var::abort
variable, which indicates that waiting operations on mysys layer should
be aborted (this includes waiting for table locks), was set by kill
operation but was never reset back. So this value was "inherited" by the
following statements or even other connections (which reused the same
physical thread). Such discrepancy between this variable and THD::killed
flag broke logic on SQL-layer and caused CPU and memory hogging.
This patch tries to fix this problem by properly resetting this member.
There is no test-case associated with this patch since it is hard to test
for memory/CPU hogging conditions in our test-suite.

In 5.* versions memory hogging was added to CPU hogging. Moreover in
those versions the problem also occured when one killed particular query
in connection (using KILL QUERY) and later this connection had to wait for

Before this fix, the parser would accept illegal code in SQL exceptions
handlers, that later causes the runtime to crash when executing the code,
due to memory violations in the exception handler stack.
The root cause of the problem is instructions within an exception handler
that jumps to code located outside of the handler. This is illegal according
to the SQL 2003 standard, since labels located outside the handler are not
supposed to be visible (they are "out of scope"), so any instruction that
jumps to these labels, like ITERATE or LEAVE, should not parse.
The section of the standard that is relevant for this is :
SQL:2003 SQL/PSM (ISO/IEC 9075-4:2003)
section 13.1 <compound statement>,
syntax rule 4
<quote>
The scope of the <beginning label> is CS excluding every <SQL schema
statement> contained in CS and excluding every
<local handler declaration list> contained in CS. <beginning label> shall
not be equivalent to any other <beginning label>s within that scope.

With this fix, the C++ class sp_pcontext, which represent the "parsing
context" tree (a.k.a symbol table) of a stored procedure, has been changed
as follows:
- constructors have been cleaned up, so that only building a root node for
the tree is public; building nodes inside a tree is not public.
- a new member, m_label_scope, indicates if a given syntactic context
belongs to a DECLARE HANDLER block,
- label resolution, in the method find_label(), has been changed to
implement the restriction of scope regarding labels used in a compound
statement.
The actions in the parser, when parsing the body of a SQL exception handler,
have been changed as follows:
- the implementation of an exception handler (DECLARE HANDLER) now creates
explicitly a new sp_pcontext, to isolate the code inside the handler from
the containing compound statement context.
- registering exception handlers as a result occurs in the parent context,
see the rule sp_hcond_element
- the code in sp_hcond_list has been cleaned up, to avoid code duplication
In addition, the flags IN_SIMPLE_CASE and IN_HANDLER, declared in sp_head.h
have been removed, since they are unused and broken by design (as seen with
Bug 19194 (Right recursion in parser for CASE causes excessive stack usage,
limitation), representing a stack in a single flag is not possible.
Tests in sp-error have been added to show that illegal constructs are now
rejected.
Tests in sp have been added for code coverage, to show that ITERATE or LEAVE
statements are legal when jumping to a label in scope, inside the body of
an exception handler.
Handle API failure during resend
API failure could cause release of table object, which will make resend crash
when dereferencing table object
Solution, use table_id+hash+schemaversion instead of *raw* pointer in resend
