Before this fix, the command
SHOW ENGINE PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA STATUS
could report wrong amount of memory allocated,
when the amount of memory used exceeds 4GB.
The problem is that size computations are not done using size_t,
so that overflows do occur, truncating the results.
This fix compute memory sizes properly with size_t.
Tested manually.
No test script provided, as the script would need to allocate too much
memory for the test.
Before this fix, the output of SHOW ENGINE PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA STATUS
used uppercase to name performance schema tables.
This is inconsistent since performance schema tables have been renamed to lowercase.
Also, an old table 'PROCESSLIST' was still visible,
even after this table got renamed to 'threads'.
This fix:
- correctly uses lowercases in the output, to match the current naming.
- replaced 'PROCESSLIST' with 'threads'.
Tested the output of SHOW ENGINE PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA STATUS manually.
No automated test cases can be written for this,
since the output is too platform dependent (sizes).
This is a code cleanup.
The implementation of a storage engine (subclasses of handler) is not supposed
to call my_error() directly inside the engine implementation,
but only return error codes, and report errors later at the demand
of the sql layer only (if needed), using handler::print_error().
This fix removes misplaced calls to my_error(),
and provide an implementation of print_error() instead.
Given that the sql layer implementation of create table, ha_create_table(),
does not use print_error() but returns ER_CANT_CREATE_TABLE directly,
the return code for create table statements using the performance schema
has changed to ER_CANT_CREATE_TABLE.
Adjusted the test suite accordingly.
CHECKSUM TABLE for performance schema tables could cause uninitialized
memory reads.
The root cause is a design flaw in the implementation of
mysql_checksum_table(), which do not honor null fields.
However, fixing this bug in CHECKSUM TABLE is risky, as it can cause the
checksum value to change.
This fix implements a work around, to systematically reset fields values
even for null fields, so that the field memory representation is always
initialized with a known value.
This patch:
- Moves all definitions from the mysql_priv.h file into
header files for the component where the variable is
defined
- Creates header files if the component lacks one
- Eliminates all include directives from mysql_priv.h
- Eliminates all circular include cycles
- Rename time.cc to sql_time.cc
- Rename mysql_priv.h to sql_priv.h
This patch prevents system threads and system table accesses from
using user-specified values for "lock_wait_timeout". Instead all
such accesses are done using the default value (1 year).
This prevents background tasks (such as replication, events,
accessing stored function definitions, logging, reading time-zone
information, etc.) from failing in cases where the global value
of "lock_wait_timeout" is set very low.
The patch also simplifies the open tables API. Rather than adding
another convenience function for opening and locking system tables,
this patch removes most of the existing convenience functions for
open_and_lock_tables_derived(). Before, open_and_lock_tables() was
a convenience function that enforced derived tables handling, while
open_and_lock_tables_derived() was the main function where derived
tables handling was optional. Now, this convencience function is
gone and the main function is renamed to open_and_lock_tables().
No test case added as it would have required the use of --sleep to
check that system threads and system tables have a different timeout
value from the user-specified "lock_wait_timeout" system variable.
Windows and Solaris
Reviewed every call to my_error() using the va_args parameters,
to make sure the arguments type are ok.
Fixed the broken calls to my_error() to pass a strings as 'char *',
not LEX_STRING.
