Use traditional statistics estimation by default (innodb-stats-traditional=true).
There could be performance regression for customers if there is a lot of
open table operations.
innodb_stats_sample_pages
Analysis: If you set the number of analyzed pages
to very low number compared to actual pages on
that table/index it randomly pics those pages
(default 8 pages), this leads to fact that query
after analyze table returns different results. If
the index tree is small, smaller than 10 *
n_sample_pages + total_external_size, then the
estimate is ok. For bigger index trees it is
common that we do not see any borders between
key values in the few pages we pick. But still
there may be n_sample_pages different key values,
or even more. And it just tries to
approximate to n_sample_pages (8).
Fix: (1) Introduced new dynamic configuration variable
innodb_stats_sample_traditional that retains
the current design. Default false.
(2) If traditional sample is not used we use
n_sample_pages = max(min(srv_stats_sample_pages,
index->stat_index_size),
log2(index->stat_index_size)*
srv_stats_sample_pages);
(3) Introduced new dynamic configuration variable
stat_modified_counter (default = 0) if set
sets lower bound for row updates when statistics is re-estimated.
If user has provided upper bound for how many rows needs to be updated
before we calculate new statistics we use minimum of provided value
and 1/16 of table every 16th round. If no upper bound is provided
(srv_stats_modified_counter = 0, default) then calculate new statistics
if 1 / 16 of table has been modified
since the last time a statistics batch was run.
We calculate statistics at most every 16th round, since we may have
a counter table which is very small and updated very often.
@param t table
@return true if the table has changed too much and stats need to be
recalculated

The bug was that full memory barrier was missing in the code that ensures that
a waiter on an InnoDB mutex will not go to sleep unless it is guaranteed to be
woken up again by another thread currently holding the mutex. This made
possible a race where a thread could get stuck waiting for a mutex that is in
fact no longer locked. If that thread was also holding other critical locks,
this could stall the entire server. There is an error monitor thread than can
break the stall, it runs about once per second. But if the error monitor
thread itself got stuck or was not running, then the entire server could hang
infinitely.
This was introduced on i386/amd64 platforms in 5.5.40 and 10.0.13 by an
incorrect patch that tried to fix the similar problem for PowerPC.
This commit reverts the incorrect PowerPC patch, and instead implements a fix
for PowerPC that does not change i386/amd64 behaviour, making PowerPC work
similarly to i386/amd64.
Analysis: InnoDB error monitor is responsible to call every second
sync_arr_wake_threads_if_sema_free() to wake up possible hanging
threads if they are missed in mutex_signal_object. This is not
possible if error monitor itself is on mutex/semaphore wait. We
should avoid all unnecessary mutex/semaphore waits on error monitor.
Currently error monitor calls function buf_flush_stat_update()
that calls log_get_lsn() function and there we will try to get
log_sys mutex. Better, solution for error monitor is that in
buf_flush_stat_update() we will try to get lsn with
mutex_enter_nowait() and if we did not get mutex do not update
the stats.
Fix: Use log_get_lsn_nowait() function on buf_flush_stat_update()
function. If returned lsn is 0, we do not update flush stats.
log_get_lsn_nowait() will use mutex_enter_nowait() and if
we get mutex we return a correct lsn if not we return 0.
When UNIV_INTERN is missing in built-in XtraDB, this causes the
innodb_plugin to call the XtraDB version of the function instead
of its own (seen in --embedded-server test failure in Buildbot).
This in turn causes bad things to happen in case of difference
between XtranDB and innodb_plugin.
stat structure (from <sys/stat.h>) is conditionally defined
to have different layout and size depending on the defined macros.
The correct macro is defined in my_config.h, which means it MUST be
included first (or, at least before <features.h> - so, practically,
before including any system headers).
