When looking for table or database names inside INFORMATION_SCHEMA
we must convert the table and database names to lowercase (just as it's
done in the rest of the server) when lowercase_table_names is non-zero.
This will allow us to find the same tables that we would find if there
is no condition.
Fixed by converting to lower case when extracting the database and
table name conditions.
Test case added.
DROP USER
RENAME USER CURRENT_USER() ...
GRANT ... TO CURRENT_USER()
REVOKE ... FROM CURRENT_USER()
ALTER DEFINER = CURRENT_USER() EVENTbut, When these statements are binlogged, CURRENT_USER() just is binlogged
as 'CURRENT_USER()', it is not expanded to the real user name. When slave
executes the log event, 'CURRENT_USER()' is expand to the user of slave
SQL thread, but SQL thread's user name always NULL. This breaks the replication.
After this patch, session's user will be written into query log events
if these statements call CURREN_USER() or 'ALTER EVENT' does not assign a definer.

Apart strict-aliasing warnings, fix the remaining warnings
generated by GCC 4.4.4 -Wall and -Wextra flags.
One major source of warnings was the in-house function my_bcmp
which (unconventionally) took pointers to unsigned characters
as the byte sequences to be compared. Since my_bcmp and bcmp
are deprecated functions whose only difference with memcmp is
the return value, every use of the function is replaced with
memcmp as the special return value wasn't actually being used
by any caller.
There were also various other warnings, mostly due to type
mismatches, missing return values, missing prototypes, dead
code (unreachable) and ignored return values.
BUILD/SETUP.sh:
Remove flags that are implied by -Wall and -Wextra.

POSIX requires that a signal handler defined with sigaction()

The problem is that QUICK_SELECT_DESC behaviour depends
on used_key_parts value which can be bigger than selected
best_key_parts value if an engine supports clustered key.
But used_key_parts is overwritten with best_key_parts
value that prevents from correct selection of index
access method. The fix is to preserve used_key_parts
value for further use in QUICK_SELECT_DESC.

The default value of the myisam_max_extra_sort_file_size could be
higher than the maximum accepted value, leading to warnings upon
the server start.
The solution is to simply set the value to the maximum value in a
32-bit built (2147483647, one less than the current). This should
be harmless as the option is currently unused in 5.1.
include/myisam.h:

sql/mysqld.cc:
Set max value to INT_MAX32.
The problem was that a user could supply supply data in chunks
via the COM_STMT_SEND_LONG_DATA command to prepared statement
parameter other than of type TEXT or BLOB. This posed a problem
since other parameter types aren't setup to handle long data,
which would lead to a crash when attempting to use the supplied
data.
Given that long data can be supplied at any stage of a prepared
statement, coupled with the fact that the type of a parameter
marker might change between consecutive executions, the solution
is to validate at execution time each parameter marker for which
a data stream was provided. If the parameter type is not TEXT or
BLOB (that is, if the type is not able to handle a data stream),
a error is returned.
sql/sql_prepare.cc:
Before converting the parameter data stream, check the type
compatibility.

This deadlock happened if DROP DATABASE was blocked due to an open
HANDLER table from a different connection. While DROP DATABASE
is blocked, it holds the LOCK_mysql_create_db mutex. This results
in a deadlock if the connection with the open HANDLER table tries
to execute a CREATE/ALTER/DROP DATABASE statement as they all
try to acquire LOCK_mysql_create_db.
This patch makes this deadlock scenario very unlikely by closing and
marking for re-open all HANDLER tables for which there are pending
conflicing locks, before LOCK_mysql_create_db is acquired.
However, there is still a very slight possibility that a connection
could access one of these HANDLER tables between closing/marking for
re-open and the acquisition of LOCK_mysql_create_db.
This patch is for 5.1 only, a separate and complete fix will be
made for 5.5+.

Incorrect handling of NULL arguments could lead to a crash on
the IN or CASE operations when either NULL arguments were
passed explicitly as arguments (IN) or implicitly generated by
the WITH ROLLUP modifier (both IN and CASE).
Item_func_case::find_item() assumed all necessary comparators
to be instantiated in fix_length_and_dec(). However, in the
presence of WITH ROLLUP modifier, arguments could be
substituted with an Item_null leading to an "unexpected"
STRING_RESULT comparator being invoked.
In addition to the problem identical to the above,
Item_func_in::val_int() could crash even with explicitly passed
NULL arguments due to an optimization in fix_length_and_dec()
leading to NULL arguments being ignored during comparators
creation.

Item*) at opt_sum.cc:305
Queries applying MIN/MAX functions to indexed columns are
optimized to read directly from the index if all key parts
of the index preceding the aggregated key part are bound to
constants by the WHERE clause. A prefix length is also
produced, equal to the total length of the bound key
parts. If the aggregated column itself is bound to a
constant, however, it is also included in the prefix.
Such full search keys are read as closed intervals for
reasons beyond the scope of this bug. However, the procedure
missed one case where a key part meant for use as range
endpoint was being overwritten with a NULL value destined
for equality checking. In this case the key part was
overwritten but the range flag remained, causing open
interval reading to be performed.
Bug was fixed by adding more stringent checking to the
search key building procedure (matching_cond) and never
allow overwrites of range predicates with non-range
predicates.
An assertion was added to make sure open intervals are never
used with full search keys.
strict aliasing violations.
One somewhat major source of strict-aliasing violations and
related warnings is the SQL_LIST structure. For example,
consider its member function `link_in_list` which takes
a pointer to pointer of type T (any type) as a pointer to
pointer to unsigned char. Dereferencing this pointer, which
is done to reset the next field, violates strict-aliasing
rules and might cause problems for surrounding code that
uses the next field of the object being added to the list.
The solution is to use templates to parametrize the SQL_LIST
structure in order to deference the pointers with compatible
types. As a side bonus, it becomes possible to remove quite
a few casts related to acessing data members of SQL_LIST.

strict aliasing violations.
Essentially, the problem is that large parts of the server were
developed in simpler times (last decades, pre C99 standard) when
strict aliasing and compilers supporting such optimizations were
rare to non-existent. Thus, when compiling the server with a modern
compiler that uses strict aliasing rules to perform optimizations,
there are several places in the code that might trigger undefined
behavior.
As evinced by some recent bugs, GCC does a somewhat good of job
misoptimizing such code, but on the other hand also gives warnings
about suspicious code. One problem is that the warnings aren't
always accurate, yet we can't afford to just shut them off as we
might miss real cases. False-positive cases are aggravated mostly
by casts that are likely to trigger undefined behavior.
The solution is to start a cleanup process focused on fixing and
reducing the amount of strict-aliasing related warnings produced
by GCC and others compilers. A good deal of noise reduction can
be achieved by just removing useless casts that are product of
historical cruft and are likely to trigger undefined behavior if
dereferenced.

Logging slow stored procedures caused the slow log to write
very large lock times. The lock times was a result of a
negative number being cast to an unsigned integer.
The reason the lock time appeard negative was because
one of the measurements points was reset after execution
causing it to change order with the start time of the
statement.
This bug is related to bug 47905 which in turn was
introduced because of a joint fix for 12480,12481,12482 and 11587.
The fix is to only reset the start_time before any statement
execution in a SP while not resetting start_utime or
utime_after_lock which are used for measuring the
performance of the SP. Start_time is used to set the
timestamp on the replication event which controlls how
the slave interprets time functions like NOW().

Some of the server implementations don't support dates later
than 2038 due to the internal time type being 32 bit.
Added checks so that the server will refuse dates that cannot
be handled by either throwing an error when setting date at
runtime or by refusing to start or shutting down the server if
the system date cannot be stored in my_time_t.
Post-push fix.
There was a valgrind issue on the loop that checks whether there
are NULL fields in the UNIQUE KEY or not. In detail, for the last
iteration the server may read out of the key_part array boundaries,
making valgrind to output warnings.
We fix this by correcting the loop, ie, moving the part that reads
from the key_part to be inside the loop statement block. This way
the assignment is protected by the loop condition.
When using Unique Keys with nullable parts in RBR, the slave can
choose the wrong row to update. This happens because a table with
an unique key containing nullable parts cannot strictly guarantee
uniqueness. As stated in the manual, for all engines, a UNIQUE
index allows multiple NULL values for columns that can contain
NULL.
We fix this at the slave by extending the checks before assuming
that the row found through an unique index is is the correct
one. This means that when a record (R) is fetched from the storage
engine and a key that is not primary (K) is used, the server does
the following:
- If K is unique and has no nullable parts, it returns R;
- Otherwise, if any field in the before image that is part of K
is null do an index scan;
- If there is no NULL field in the BI part of K, then return R.
A side change: renamed the existing test case file and added a
test case covering the changes in this patch.
