Because of a regression introduced by bug#19027 the option --enable-foobar
doesn't work anymore for any plugin 'foobar'. The reason is that plugin
names are tristate options variables with optional parameters and integer
values are not accepted. Since the 'enable' prefix attempts to assign '1'
to the option the operation fails.
This patch translates any number n assigned to a plugin variable of type ENUM
to be the corresponding enumerated item. As a side effect --enable-foobar and
--disable-foobar will also start working again.
The merge from http://lists.mysql.com/commits/76678 caused the
growth_size parameter to the my_init_dynamic_array function to
be ignored. This patch corrects the problem.
Failure to allocate memory for the hash->array element,
caused hash_init to return without initializing the other
members of the hash. Thus although the dynamic array
buffer may be allocated at a later point in the code, the
incompletely initialized hash caused fatal failures.
This patch moves the initialization of the other members
of the hash above the array allocation, so that the usage
of this hash will not result in fatal failures.
It is not possible to prevent the server from starting if a mandatory
built-in plugin fails to start. This can in some cases lead to data
corruption when the old table name space suddenly is used by a different
storage engine.
A boolean command line option in the form of --foobar is automatically
created for every existing plugin "foobar". By changing this command line
option from a boolean to a tristate { OFF, ON, FORCE } it is possible to
specify the plugin loading policy for each plugin.
The behavior is specified as follows:
OFF = Disable the plugin and start the server
ON = Enable the plugin and start the server even if an error occurrs
during plugin initialization.
FORCE = Enable the plugin but don't start the server if an error occurrs
during plugin initialization.
key_buffer_size.
The cause of corruption was number overflow when multiplying
two ulong values, number of used keycache blocks with size
of a single block. The result of multiplication exceeded ulong
range (4G) and this lead to incorrectly calculated buffer offset
in the key cache.
The fix is to use size_t for multiplication result.
This patch also fixes pointless cast in safemalloc
(size of allocated block to uint), that creates lot of false
alarm warnings when using big keycache (> 4GB) in debug mode.
In order to define the --slave-load-tmpdir, the init_relay_log_file()
was calling fn_format(MY_PACK_FILENAME) which internally was indirectly
calling strmov_overlapp() (through pack_dirname) and the following
warning message was being printed out while running in Valgrind:
"source and destination overlap in strcpy".
We fixed the issue by removing the flag MY_PACK_FILENAME as it was not
necessary. In a nutshell, with this flag the function fn_format() tried
to replace a directory by either "~", "." or "..". However, we wanted
exactly to remove such strings.
In this patch, we also refactored the functions init_relay_log_file()
and check_temp_dir(). The former was refactored to call the fn_format()
with the flag MY_SAFE_PATH along with the MY_RETURN_REAL_PATH, in order
to avoid issues with long directories and return an absolute path,
respectively. The flag MY_SAFE_UNPACK_FILENAME was removed too as it was
responsible for removing "~", "." or ".." only from the file parameter
and we wanted to remove such strings from the directory parameter in
the fn_format(). This result is stored in an rli variable, which is then
processed by the other function in order to verify if the directory exists
and if we are able to create files in it.
Bug#44091: libmysqld gets stuck waiting on mutex on initialization
The problem was that libmysqld wasn't enforcing a certain
initialization and deinitialization order for the mysys
library. Another problem was that the global object used
for management of log event handlers (aka LOGGER) wasn't
being prepared for a possible reutilization.
What leads to the hang/crash reported is that a failure
to load the language file triggers a double call of the
cleanup functions, causing an already destroyed mutex to
be used.
The solution is enforce a order on the initialization and
deinitialization of the mysys library within the libmysqld
library and to ensure that the global LOGGER object reset
it's internal state during cleanup.
If a sys-var has a base and a block-size>1, and then a
user-supplied value >= minimum ended up below minimum
thanks to block-size alignment, we threw a warning.
This meant for instance that when getting, then setting
the minimum, we'd see a warning. This was needlessly
confusing. (updated patch)
patch enclosed)
One call to my_error_unregister_all() would free pointers, but leave one
pointer to just-freed memory still assigned. That's the bug. Subsequent
calls of this function would try to follow pointers into deallocated,
garbage memory and almost certainly SEGV.
Now, after freeing a linked list, unset the initial pointer.
Took the Xfree implementation (based on the same rewrite as the NDB one)
and added it instead of the current implementation.
Added a macro to make the calls to MD5 more streamlined.
When disk is full, server may waiting for free space while
writing binlog, relay-log or MyISAM tables. The server will
continue after user have freed some space. But the error
message printed was not quite clear about the how often the
error message is printed, and there will be a delay before
the server continue and user freeing space. And caused users
thinking that the server was hanging forever.
This patch fixed the problem by making the error messages
printed more clear. The error message is split into two part,
the first part will only be printed once, and the second part
will be printed very 10 times.
Message first part:
Disk is full writing '<filename>' (Errcode: <errorno>). Waiting
for someone to free space... (Expect up to 60 secs delay for
server to continue after freeing disk space)
Message second part:
Retry in 60 secs, Message reprinted in 600 secs
in load_defaults()
load_defaults(), my_search_option_files() and
my_print_default_files() utilized a global variable
containing a pointer to thread local memory. This could lead
to race conditions when those functions were called with high
concurrency.
Fixed by changing the interface of the said functions to avoid
the necessity for using a global variable.
Since we cannot change load_defaults() prototype for API
compatibility reasons, it was renamed my_load_defaults().
Now load_defaults() is a thread-unsafe wrapper around
a thread-safe version, my_load_defaults().

Remove SC_MAXWIDTH. This is unused and irrelevant nowadays.
include/my_sys.h
Remove errbuf declaration and unused definitions.
mysys/my_error.c
Remove errbuf definition and move and adjust ERRMSGSIZE.
mysys/my_init.c
Declare buffer on the stack and use my_snprintf.
mysys/safemalloc.c
Use size explicitly. It's more than enough for the message at hand.
sql/sql_error.cc
Use size explicitly. It's more than enough for the message at hand.
sql/sql_parse.cc
Declare buffer on the stack. Use my_snprintf as it will result in
less stack space being used than by a system provided sprintf --
this allows us to put the buffer on the stack without causing much
trouble. Also, the use of errbuff here was not thread-safe as the
function can be entered concurrently from multiple threads.
sql/sql_table.cc
Use MYSQL_ERRMSG_SIZE. Extra space is not needed as my_snprintf will
nul terminate strings.
storage/myisam/ha_myisam.cc
Use MYSQL_ERRMSG_SIZE.

Error message truncation in test "innodb" in embedded mode
filename in the error message can safely take up to 210 symbols.
upgrading lock, even with low_priority_updates
The problem is that there is no mechanism to control whether a
delayed insert takes a high or low priority lock on a table.
The solution is to modify the delayed insert thread ("handler")
to take into account the global value of low_priority_updates
when taking table locks. The value of low_priority_updates is
retrieved when the insert delayed thread is created and will
remain the same for the duration of the thread.
Problem:
Custom UCA collations didn't set the MY_CS_STRNXFRM flag,
which resulted in "prefix_search" method instead of
the required "seq_search".
Problem2: (not metioned in the bug report)
Custom UCA collations didn't also set the MY_CS_UNICODE flag,
so an attempt to compare a column with a custom UCA collation
to another column with a non-Unicode character set led to
the "illegal mix of collation" error.
Fix:
the two missing flags was added into collation initialization.
Upgrade:
- All fulltext indexes with custom UCA collations should be rebuilt.
- Non-fulltext custom UCA indexes should likely be rebuild as well.

Bug#36428: MY_MUTEX_INIT_FAST is used before initialization
On some thread implementations, we need a fake mutex attri-
bute as a placeholder, which we define as a global variable,
"my_fast_mutexattr". Well. that must be initialized before
used in any mutexes, and the ordering of initializations in
the API function my_init() was wrong.
Now, put my_thread_global_init(), which initializes the attri-
butes that mutexes require.
Bounds-checks and blocksize corrections were applied to user-input,
but constants in the server were trusted implicitly. If these values
did not actually meet the requirements, the user could not set change
a variable, then set it back to the (wonky) factory default or maximum
by explicitly specifying it (SET <var>=<value> vs SET <var>=DEFAULT).
Now checks also apply to the server's presets. Wonky values and maxima
get corrected at startup. Consequently all non-offsetted values the user
sees are valid, and users can set the variable to that exact value if
they so desire.
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
