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().

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
That's a Win-specific error.
When we create libmysqld.dll we have many libraries like mysys, dbug,
strings, etc linked into that dll, so the application built upon
this library shouldn't link these libraries to itself, rather use
those inside the dll.
Fixed by redirecting calls into the libmysqld.dll

The problem is that MySQL's 'fast' mutex implementation uses the
random() routine to determine the spin delay. Unfortunately, the
routine interface is not thead-safe and some implementations (eg:
glibc) might use a internal lock to protect the RNG state, causing
excessive locking contention if lots of threads are spinning on
a MySQL's 'fast' mutex. The code was also misusing the value
of the RAND_MAX macro, this macro represents the largest value
that can be returned from the rand() function, not random().
The solution is to use the quite simple Park-Miller random number
generator. The initial seed is set to 1 because the previously used
generator wasn't being seeded -- the initial seed is 1 if srandom()
is not called.
Futhermore, the 'fast' mutex implementation has several shortcomings
and provides no measurable performance benefit. Therefore, its use is
not recommended unless it provides directly measurable results.
This patch contains fixes for two problems:
1. As originally reported, the server crashed on Mac OS X when trying to access
an EXAMPLE table after the EXAMPLE plugin was installed.
It turned out that the dynamically loaded EXAMPLE plugin called the
function hash_earch() from a Mac OS X system library, instead of
hash_earch() from MySQL's mysys library. Makefile.am in storage/example
does not include libmysys. So the Mac OS X linker arranged the hash_search()
function to be linked to the system library when the shared object is
loaded.
One possible solution would be to include libmysys into the linkage of
dynamic plugins. But then we must have a libmysys.so, which must be
used by the server too. This could have a minimal performance impact,
but foremost the change seems to bee too risky at the current state of
MySQL 5.1.
The selected solution is to rename MySQL's hash_search() to my_hash_search()
like it has been done before with hash_insert() and hash_reset().
Since this is the third time, we need to rename a hash_*() function,
I did renamed all hash_*() functions to my_hash_*().
To avoid changing a zillion calls to these functions, and announcing
this to hundreds of developers, I added defines that map the old names
to the new names.
This change is in hash.h and hash.c.
2. The other problem was improper implementation of the handlerton-to-plugin
mapping. We use a fixed-size array to hold a plugin reference for each
handlerton. On every install of a handler plugin, we allocated a new slot
of the array. On uninstall we did not free it. After some uninstall/install
cycles the array overflowed. We did not check for overflow.
One fix is to check for overflow to stop the crashes.
Another fix is to free the array slot at uninstall and search for a free slot
at plugin install.
This change is in handler.cc.
