a6ea6dc217 Bug#11767480 - SPATIAL INDEXES ON NON-SPATIAL COLUMNS CAUSE CRASHES.
This is a backport of the patch for MySQL Bug#50574.
      
Adding a SPATIAL INDEX on non-geometrical columns caused a
segmentation fault when the table was subsequently 
inserted into.
            
A test was added in mysql_prepare_create_table to explicitly
check whether non-geometrical columns are used in a
spatial index, and throw an error if so.
      
For MySQL 5.5 and later, a new and more meaningful error 
message was introduced.  For 5.1, we (re-)use an existing
error code.

a8e6f7c67b Bug#11766310 : 59398: MYSQLDUMP 5.1 CAN'T HANDLE A DASH
("-") IN DATABASE NAMES IN ALTER DATABASE.

mysqldump did not quote database name in 'ALTER DATABASE'
statements in its output. This can further cause a failure
while loading if database name contains a hyphen '-'.

This happened as, while printing the 'ALTER DATABASE'
statements, the database name was not quoted.

Fixed by quoting the database name.

cd4c263dc4 Bug#11766675 - 59839: Aggregation followed by subquery yields wrong result
The loop that was looping over subqueries' references to outer field used a
local boolean variable to tell whether the field was grouped or not. But the
implementor failed to reset the variable after each iteration. Thus a field
that was not directly aggregated appeared to be.

Fixed by resetting the variable upon each new iteration.

f2a42aee2e Bug#48053 String::c_ptr has a race and/or does an invalid
memory reference

There are two issues present here.
  1) There is a possibility that we test a byte beyond the
     allocated buffer

  2) We compare a byte that might never have been
     initalized to see if it's 0.

The first issue is not triggered by existing code, but an
ASSERT has been added to safe-guard against introducing
new code that triggers it.

The second issue is what triggers the Valgrind warnings
reported in the bug report. A buffer is allocated in
class String to hold the value. This buffer is populated
by the character data constituting the string, but is not
zero-terminated in most cases.  Testing if it is indeed
zero-terminated means that we check a byte that has never
been explicitly set, thus causing Valgrind to trigger.

Note that issue 2 is not a serious problem.  The variable
is read, and if it's not zero, we will set it to zero.
There are no further consequences.

Note that this patch does not fix the underlying problems
with issue 1, as it is deemed too risky to fix at this
point (as noted in the bug report).  As discussed in
the report, the c_ptr() method should probably be
replaced, but this requires a thorough analysis of the
~200 calls to the method.

7e1cd4ae0d Fix for bug#11766714 (former bug @59888) "debug assertion when
attempt to create spatial index on char > 31 bytes".

Attempt to create spatial index on char field with length
greater than 31 byte led to assertion failure on server
compiled with safemutex support.

The problem occurred in mi_create() function which was called
to create a new version of table being altered. This function
failed since it detected an attempt to create a spatial key
on non-binary column and tried to return an error.
On its error path it tried to unlock THR_LOCK_myisam mutex
which has not been not locked at this point. Indeed such an
incorrect behavior was caught by safemutex wrapper and caused
assertion failure.

This patch fixes the problem by ensuring that mi_create()
doesn't releases THR_LOCK_myisam mutex on error path if it was
not acquired.

e960abc7cf Fix for bug#36544 "DROP USER does not remove stored function
privileges".

The first problem was that DROP USER didn't properly remove privileges 
on stored functions from in-memory structures. So the dropped user
could have called stored functions on which he had privileges before
being dropped while his connection was still around.
Even worse if a new user with the same name was created he would
inherit privileges on stored functions from the dropped user.
Similar thing happened with old user name and function privileges
during RENAME USER.

This problem stemmed from the fact that the handle_grant_data() function
which handled DROP/RENAME USER didn't take any measures to update
in-memory hash with information about function privileges after
updating them on disk.

This patch solves this problem by adding code doing just that.

The second problem was that RENAME USER didn't properly update in-memory
structures describing table-level privileges and privileges on stored 
procedures. As result such privileges could have been lost after a rename
(i.e. not associated with the new name of user) and inherited by a new
user with the same name as the old name of the original user.

This problem was caused by code handling RENAME USER in
handle_grant_struct() which [sic!]:
a) tried to update wrong (tables) hash when updating stored procedure
   privileges for new user name.
b) passed wrong arguments to function performing the hash update and
   didn't take into account the way in which such update could have
   changed the order of the hash elements.

This patch solves this problem by ensuring that a) the correct hash
is updated, b) correct arguments are used for the hash_update()
function and c) we take into account possible changes in the order
of hash elements.

3e533efa81 Fix for bug#59308: Incorrect result for SELECT DISTINCT <col>... ORDER BY <col> DESC.
Also fix bug#59110: Memory leak of QUICK_SELECT_I allocated memory.
Includes Jørgen Lølands review comments.
      
Root cause of these bugs are that test_if_skip_sort_order() decided to
revert the 'skip_sort_order' descision (and use filesort) after the
query plan has been updated to reflect a 'skip' of the sort order.
      
This might happen in 'check_reverse_order:' if we have a 
select->quick which could not be made descending by appending 
a QUICK_SELECT_DESC. ().
      
The original 'save_quick' was then restored after the QEP has been modified,
which caused:
      
  - An incorrect 'precomputed_group_by= TRUE' may have been set, 
    and not reverted, as part of the already modifified QEP (Bug#59308)
  - A 'select->quick' might have been created which we fail to delete (bug#59110).
      
This fix is a refactorication of test_if_skip_sort_order() where all logic
related to modification of QEP (controlled by argument 'bool no_changes'), is
moved to the end of test_if_skip_sort_order(), and done after *all* 'test_if_skip'
checks has been performed - including the 'check_reverse_order:' checks.
      
The refactorication above contains now intentional changes to the logic which 
has been moved to the end of the function.
      
Furthermore, a smaller part of the fix address the handling of the 
select->quick objects which may already exists when we call 
'test_if_skip_sort_order()' (save_quick) -and
new select->quick's created during test_if_skip_sort_order():
      
  - Before new select->quick may be created by calling ::test_quick_select(), we
    set 'select->quick= 0' to avoid that ::test_quick_select() prematurely
    delete the save_quick's. (After this call we may have both a 'save_quick' 
    and 'select->quick')
      
  - All returns from ::test_if_skip_sort_order() where we may have both a
    'save_quick' and a 'select->quick' has been changed to goto's to the
    exit points 'skiped_sort_order:' or 'need_filesort:' where we
    decide which of the QUICK_SELECT's to keep, and delete the other.

2f0ba4c3f8 Fixed bug#57450 - mysql client enter in an infinite loop
if the standard input is a directory.

The problem is that mysql monitor try to read from stdin without
checking input source type.

The solution is to stop reading data from standard input if a call
to read(2) failed.

A new test case was added into mysql.test.

6c777a6220 Fixed bug#58026 - massive recursion and crash in regular expression
handling.

The problem was that parsing of nested regular expression involved
recursive calls. Such recursion didn't take into account the amount of
available stack space, which ended up leading to stack overflow crashes.

59f68983ff Fixes for Bug #55755 and Bug #52315 part 2
Bug #55755 : Date STD variable signness breaks server on FreeBSD and OpenBSD

* Added a check to configure on the size of time_t
* Created a macro to check for a valid time_t that is safe to use with datetime 
  functions and store in TIMESTAMP columns.
* Used the macro consistently instead of the ad-hoc checks introduced by 52315
* Fixed compliation warnings on platforms where the size of time_t is smaller than
  the size of a long (e.g. OpenBSD 4.8 64 amd64).

Bug #52315: utc_date() crashes when system time > year 2037

* Added a correct check for the timestamp range instead of just variable size check to
SET TIMESTAMP.
* Added overflow checking before converting to time_t. 
* Using a correct localized error message in this case instead of the generic error.
* Added a test suite.
* fixed the checks so that they check for unsigned time_t as well. Used the checks 
  consistently across the source code.
* fixed the original test case to expect the new error code.

c8de3bba8e Fix for bug#57030: ('BETWEEN' evaluation is incorrect')
Root cause for this bug is that the optimizer try to detect&
optimize the special case:
      
'<field>  BETWEEN c1 AND c1' and handle this as the condition '<field>  = c1'
            
This was implemented inside add_key_field(.. *field, *value[]...)
which assumed field to refer key Field, and value[] to refer a [low...high]
constant pair. value[0] and value[1] was then compared for equality.
            
In a 'normal' BETWEEN condition of the form '<field>  BETWEEN val1 and val2' the
BETWEEN operation is represented with an argementlist containing the
values [<field>, val1, val2] - add_key_field() is then called with
parameters field=<field>, *value=val1.
            
However, if the BETWEEN predicate specified:
            
 1)  '<const1>  BETWEEN<const2>  AND<field>
            
the 'field' and 'value' arguments to add_key_field() had to be swapped.
This was implemented by trying to cheat add_key_field() to handle it like:
            
 2) '<const1>  GE<const2>  AND<const1>  LE<field>'
            
As we didn't really replace the BETWEEN operation with 'ge' and 'le',
add_key_field() still handled it as a 'BETWEEN' and compared the (swapped)
arguments<const1>  and<const2>  for equality. If they was equal, the
condition 1) was incorrectly 'optimized' to:
            
 3) '<field>  EQ <const1>'
            
This fix moves this optimization of '<field>  BETWEEN c1 AND c1' into
add_key_fields() which then calls add_key_equal_fields() to collect 
key equality / comparison for the key fields in the BETWEEN condition.

2388766830 Fix for Bug#56817 - mysqlhotcopy tests fail when DBI and DBD-mysql perl modules are not found
Third updated patch - this version also includes copyright notice in added Perl script.
This patch implements a check for such modules at runtime. If modules are not found or unable to load, the test is skipped with 
the following message:
            
            [ skipped ]  Test needs Perl modules DBI and DBD::mysql
            
Checks are done via a helper Perl script which looks for the module in a runtime environment that is as similar to that of the 
mysqlhotcopy script as possible (thus not intended for Windows environments at this time).
The helper script tells mysql-test about the result by writing information to a temporary file that is later read by mysql-test.
See comments in added files (have_dbi_dbd-mysql.inc and checkDBI_DBD-mysql.pl) for details.
The patch also removes the mysqlhotcopy tests from the list of disabled tests.

616e2227cc Bug#59173: Failure to handle DATE(TIME) values where Year, Month or Day is
ZERO
      
When dates are represented internally as strings, i.e. when a string constant
is compared to a date value, both values are converted to long integers,
ostensibly for fast comparisons. DATE typed integer values are converted to
DATETIME by multiplying by 1,000,000 (each digit pair representing hour,
minute and second, respectively). But the mechanism did not distuinguish
cached INTEGER values, already in correct format, from newly converted
strings.

Fixed by marking the INTEGER cache as being of DATETIME format.

ade1c74b3f BUG#49124 Security issue with /*!-versioned */ SQL statements on Slave
Backport to 5.0.

/*![:version:] Query Code */, where [:version:] is a sequence of 5 
digits representing the mysql server version(e.g /*!50200 ... */),
is a special comment that the query in it can be executed on those 
servers whose versions are larger than the version appearing in the 
comment. It leads to a security issue when slave's version is larger 
than master's. A malicious user can improve his privileges on slaves. 
Because slave SQL thread is running with SUPER privileges, so it can
execute queries that he/she does not have privileges on master.
      
This bug is fixed with the logic below: 
- To replace '!' with ' ' in the magic comments which are not applied on
  master. So they become common comments and will not be applied on slave.
      
- Example:
  'INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (1) /*!10000, (2)*/ /*!99999 ,(3)*/
   will be binlogged as
  'INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (1) /*!10000, (2)*/ /* 99999 ,(3)*/

3ef71bfac7 Bug#58165: "my_empty_string" gets modified and causes LOAD DATA to fail and
other crashes

Some string manipulating SQL functions use a shared string object intended to
contain an immutable empty string. This object was used by the SQL function
SUBSTRING_INDEX() to return an empty string when one argument was of the wrong
datatype. If the string object was then modified by the sql function INSERT(),
undefined behavior ensued.

Fixed by instead modifying the string object representing the function's
result value whenever string manipulating SQL functions return an empty
string.

Relevant code has also been documented.

94fbedd3e3 Fix for bug #58499 "DEFINER-security view selecting from
INVOKER-security view access check wrong".

When privilege checks were done for tables used from an 
INVOKER-security view which in its turn was used from 
a DEFINER-security view connection's active security
context was incorrectly used instead of security context
with privileges of the second view's creator.

This meant that users which had enough rights to access
the DEFINER-security view and as result were supposed to 
be able successfully access it were unable to do so in 
cases when they didn't have privileges on underlying tables 
of the INVOKER-security view.

This problem was caused by the fact that for INVOKER-security
views TABLE_LIST::security_ctx member for underlying tables
were set to 0 even in cases when particular view was used from 
another DEFINER-security view. This meant that when checks of
privileges on these underlying tables was done in
setup_tables_and_check_access() active connection security 
context was used instead of context corresponding to the 
creator of caller view.

This fix addresses the problem by ensuring that underlying
tables of an INVOKER-security view inherit security context
from the view and thus correct security context is used for
privilege checks on underlying tables in cases when such view 
is used from another view with DEFINER-security.

e073e2c0be Bug #57321 crashes and valgrind errors from spatial types
Item_func_spatial_collection::fix_length_and_dec didn't call parent's method, so
        the maybe_null was set to '0' after it. But in this case the result was
        just NULL, that caused wrong behaviour.

541e0fa8bf Bug#59211: Select Returns Different Value for min(year) Function
get_year_value() contains code to convert 2-digits year to
4-digits.  The fix for Bug#49910 added a check on the size of
the underlying field so that this conversion is not done for
YEAR(4) values. (Since otherwise one would convert invalid
YEAR(4) values to valid ones.)

The existing check does not work when Item_cache is used, since
it is not detected when the cache is based on a Field.  The
reported change in behavior is due to Bug#58030 which added
extra cached items in min/max computations.

The elegant solution would be to implement
Item_cache::real_item() to return the underlying Item.
However, some side effects are observed (change in explain
output) that indicates that such a change is not straight-
forward, and definitely not appropriate for an MRU.

Instead, a Item_cache::field() method has been added in order
to get access to the underlying field.  (This field() method
eliminates the need for Item_cache::eq_def() used in
test_if_ref(), but in order to limit the scope of this fix,
that code has been left as is.)

fc42cbaca3 Bug#58207: invalid memory reads when using default column value and
tmptable needed

The function DEFAULT() works by modifying the the data buffer pointers (often
referred to as 'record' or 'table record') of its argument. This modification
is done during name resolution (fix_fields().) Unfortunately, the same
modification is done when creating a temporary table, because default values
need to propagate to the new table.

Fixed by skipping the pointer modification for fields that are arguments to
the DEFAULT function.
