Starting with commit baf276e6d4 (MDEV-19229)
the parameter innodb_undo_tablespaces can be increased from its
previous default value 0 while allowing an upgrade from old databases.
We will change the default setting to innodb_undo_tablespaces=3
so that the space occupied by possible bursts of undo log records
can be reclaimed after SET GLOBAL innodb_undo_log_truncate=ON.
We will not enable innodb_undo_log_truncate by default, because it
causes some observable performance degradation.
Special thanks to Thirunarayanan Balathandayuthapani for diagnosing
and fixing a number of bugs related to this new default setting.
Tested by: Matthias Leich, Axel Schwenke, Vladislav Vaintroub
(with both values of innodb_undo_log_truncate)
The MDEV-25004 test innodb_fts.versioning is omitted because ever since
commit 685d958e38 InnoDB would not allow
writes to a database where the redo log file ib_logfile0 is missing.
Fixing a few problems relealed by UBSAN in type_float.test
- multiplication overflow in dtoa.c
- uninitialized Field::geom_type (and Field::srid as well)
- Wrong call-back function types used in combination with SHOW_FUNC.
Changes in the mysql_show_var_func data type definition were not
properly addressed all around the code by the following commits:
b4ff64568c18feb62fee0ee879ff8a
Adding a helper SHOW_FUNC_ENTRY() function and replacing
all mysql_show_var_func declarations using SHOW_FUNC
to SHOW_FUNC_ENTRY, to catch mysql_show_var_func in the future
at compilation time.
Allow passwordless login in addition to usual login with password, when
creating 'root' user during install.
The effect of that change is that "local administrators" group are
allowed to connect as root user. This is done via gssapi authentication
plugin.
Clients that are not aware of gssapi client plugin, can still login with
password credentials.
To prevent ASAN heap-use-after-poison in the MDEV-16549 part of
./mtr --repeat=6 main.derived
the initialization of Name_resolution_context was cleaned up.
krb5-config (used by FindGSSAPI) returns `-lkrb5 -lk5crypto -lcom_err`
but only libkrb5 is actually used by the gssapi plugin. The other two
result in unneeded dependencies unless they're tagged optional when
linked with --as-needed.
Some distributions use --as-needed automatically, which causes our
builds to differ from srpm builds, introducing failures in buildbot.
Let's always use --as-needed for gssapi plugin
