The server was not cleaning up some dbug allocated memory
before exiting. This is not a real problem, as this memory
would be deallocated anyway. Nonetheless, we improve the
mysqlbinlog exit procedure, wrt to memory book-keeping, when
no parameter is given.
To fix this, we deploy a call to my_end() before the
thread exits.
Essentially, the problem is that safemalloc is excruciatingly
slow as it checks all allocated blocks for overrun at each
memory management primitive, yielding a almost exponential
slowdown for the memory management functions (malloc, realloc,
free). The overrun check basically consists of verifying some
bytes of a block for certain magic keys, which catches some
simple forms of overrun. Another minor problem is violation
of aliasing rules and that its own internal list of blocks
is prone to corruption.
Another issue with safemalloc is rather the maintenance cost
as the tool has a significant impact on the server code.
Given the magnitude of memory debuggers available nowadays,
especially those that are provided with the platform malloc
implementation, maintenance of a in-house and largely obsolete
memory debugger becomes a burden that is not worth the effort
due to its slowness and lack of support for detecting more
common forms of heap corruption.
Since there are third-party tools that can provide the same
functionality at a lower or comparable performance cost, the
solution is to simply remove safemalloc. Third-party tools
can provide the same functionality at a lower or comparable
performance cost.
The removal of safemalloc also allows a simplification of the
malloc wrappers, removing quite a bit of kludge: redefinition
of my_malloc, my_free and the removal of the unused second
argument of my_free. Since free() always check whether the
supplied pointer is null, redudant checks are also removed.
Also, this patch adds unit testing for my_malloc and moves
my_realloc implementation into the same file as the other
memory allocation primitives.

blocks.
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.
Fix various mismatches between function's language linkage. Any
particular function that is declared in C++ but should be callable
from C must have C linkage. Note that function types with different
linkages are also distinct. Thus, if a function type is declared in
C code, it will have C linkage (same if declared in a extern "C"
block).
(make relies GNU extentions). The patch was partially
backport from 6.0.
Original comment:
bug#30708: make relies GNU extensions. Now that we no longer use
BitKeeper we can safely remove the SCCS handling with no loss of
functionality.

Bug#13174: SHA2 function
Patch contributed from Bill Karwin, paper unnumbered CLA in Seattle
Implement SHA2 functions.
Chad added code to make it work with YaSSL. Also, he removed the
(probable) bug of embedded server never using SSL-dependent
functions. (libmysqld/Makefile.am didn't read ANY autoconf defs.)
Function specification:
SHA2( string cleartext, integer hash_length )
-> string hash, or NULL
where hash_length is one of 224, 256, 384, or 512. If either is
NULL or a length is unsupported, then the result is NULL. The
resulting string is always the length of the hash_length parameter
or is NULL.
Include the canonical hash examples from the NIST in the test
results.

When mysqlbinlog was given the --database=X flag, it always printed
'ROLLBACK TO', but the corresponding 'SAVEPOINT' statement was not
printed. The replicated filter(replicated-do/ignore-db) and binlog
filter (binlog-do/ignore-db) has the same problem. They are solved
in this patch together.
After this patch, We always check whether the query is 'SAVEPOINT'
statement or not. Because this is a literal check, 'SAVEPOINT' and
'ROLLBACK TO' statements are also binlogged in uppercase with no
any comments.
The binlog before this patch can be handled correctly except one case
that any comments are in front of the keywords. for example:
/* bla bla */ SAVEPOINT a;
/* bla bla */ ROLLBACK TO a;

Before this fix, client tools (mysql_upgrade, mysqlcheck, mysqldump)
would try to process performance schema tables, leading to failures.
The fix is to align FIRST_PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA_VERSION to 5.5.3,
which is the version number of mysql-trunk where the
performance schema is first available.
mysql_upgrade was passing an non-initialized non-null tmpdir to create_temp_file() if no
--tmpdir was specified. This prevents create_temp_file() from taking the system
temporary file path and as a result mysql_upgrade was trying to open a file in a
directory that it may not have write access to.
Fixed by making sure mysql_upgrade will pass a zero length temp dir string to
create_temp_file() if no --tmpdir is specified.
The problem was that mysqltest could attempt to execute a
SHOW WARNINGS statement through a connection that was not
properly reaped, thus violating its own rules.
The solution is to skip SHOW WARNINGS if a connection has
not been properly repeaed.
I found three issues during the analysis:
1. Memory leak caused by temp_buf not being freed;
2. Memory leak caused when handling argv;
3. Conditional jump that depended on unitialized values.
Issue #1
--------
DESCRIPTION: when mysqlbinlog is reading from a remote location
the event temp_buf references the incoming stream (in NET
object), which is not freed by mysqlbinlog explicitly. On the
other hand, when it is reading local binary log, it points to a
temporary buffer that needs to be explicitly freed. For both
cases, the temp_buf was not freed by mysqlbinlog, instead was
set to 0. This clearly disregards the free required in the
second case, thence creating a memory leak.
FIX: we make temp_buf to be conditionally freed depending on
the value of remote_opt. Found out that similar fix is already
in most recent codebases.
Issue #2
--------
DESCRIPTION: load_defaults is called by parse_args, and it
reads default options from configuration files and put them
BEFORE the arguments that are already in argc and argv. This is
done resorting to MEM_ROOT. However, parse_args calls
handle_options immediately after which changes argv. Later when
freeing the defaults, pointers to MEM_ROOT won't match, causing
the memory not to be freed:
void free_defaults(char **argv)
{
MEM_ROOT ptr
memcpy_fixed((char*) &ptr,(char *) argv - sizeof(ptr), sizeof(ptr));
free_root(&ptr,MYF(0));
}
FIX: we remove load_defaults from parse_args and call it
before. Then we save argv with defaults in defaults_argv BEFORE
calling parse_args (which inside can then call handle_options
at will). Actually, found out that this is in fact kind of a
backport for BUG#38468 into 5.1, so I merged in the test case
as well and added error check for load_defaults call.
Fix based on:
revid:zhenxing.he@sun.com-20091002081840-uv26f0flw4uvo33y
Issue #3
--------
DESCRIPTION: the structure st_print_event_info constructor
would not initialize the sql_mode member, although it did for
sql_mode_inited (set to false). This would later raise the
warning in valgrind when printing the sql_mode in the event
header, as this print out is protected by a check against
sql_mode_inited and sql_mode variables. Given that sql_mode was
not initialized valgrind would output the warning.
FIX: we add initialization of sql_mode to the
st_print_event_info constructor.
WL#5154 was a task for formally deprecating and removing items that
were mentioned in the manual as having been deprecated since MySQL
4.1 or 5.0, but that had never been removed.
Since WL#5154 was created, examination of mysqld.cc, mysql.cc, and
mysqldump.c reveals additional deprecations not mentioned in the
manual. (In some cases, the items are simply not mentioned in the
5.1+ manuals.)
This is a follow-on task to deprecate and remove these additional
items.
The deprecation happened in MySQL 5.1, and the options/variables
are now removed from the code.
