The bug was caused by accessing uninitialized fields within the LEX related to
ssl by mysql_show_grants() -> get_current_user() -> has_auth() function.
The following left in semi-improved state to keep patch size reasonable:
- Field operator new: left thd_alloc(current_thd)
- Sql_alloc operator new: left thd_alloc(thd_get_current_thd())
- Item_args constructors: left thd_alloc(thd)
- Item_func_interval::fix_length_and_dec(): no THD arg, have to call current_thd
- Item_func_dyncol_exists::val_int(): same
- Item_dyncol_get::val_str(): same
- Item_dyncol_get::val_int(): same
- Item_dyncol_get::val_real(): same
- Item_dyncol_get::val_decimal(): same
- Item_singlerow_subselect::fix_length_and_dec(): same
A prerequisite change for:
- MDEV-8093 sql_yacc.yy: add %type create_field for field_spec and column_def
- MDEV-8094 sql_yacc.yy: get rid of the rules "opt_if_not_exists_table_element"
and "opt_if_exists_table_element"
- MDEV-8095 Split Create_field
- Part 4: Removing calls to sql_alloc() and sql_calloc()
Other things:
- Added current_thd in some places to make it clear that it's called (easier to remove later)
- Move memory allocation from Item_func_case::fix_length_and_dec() to Item_func_case::fix_fields()
- Added mem_root to some new calls
- Fixed some wrong UNINIT_VAR() calls
- Fixed a bug in generate_partition_syntax() in case of errors
- Added mem_root to argument to new thread_info
- Simplified my_parse_error() call in sql_yacc.yy
- Part 3: Adding mem_root to push_back() and push_front()
Other things:
- Added THD as an argument to some partition functions.
- Added memory overflow checking for XML tag's in read_xml()
- Added mem_root to all calls to new Item
- Added private method operator new(size_t size) to Item to ensure that
we always use a mem_root when creating an item.
This saves use once call to current_thd per Item creation
Added mandatory thd parameter to Item (and all derivative classes) constructor.
Added thd parameter to all routines that may create items.
Also removed "current_thd" from Item::Item. This reduced number of
pthread_getspecific() calls from 290 to 177 per OLTP RO transaction.
Analysis :
==========
During JOIN::prepare of sub-query which creates the
derived tables we call setup_procedure. Here we call
fix_fields for parameters of procedure clause. Calling
setup_procedure at this point may cause issue. If
sub-query is one of parameter being fixed it might
lead to complicated dependencies on derived tables
being prepared.
SOLUTION :
==========
In 5.6 with WL#6242, we have made procedure clause
parameters can only be NUM, so sub-queries are not
allowed as parameters. So in 5.5 we can block
sub-queries in procedure clause parameters.
This eliminates above conflicting dependencies.
Other things:
- Avoid calling init_and_set_log_file_name() when opening binary log.
- Remove newlines early when reading from index file.
- Ensure that reset_logs() will work even if thd is 0 (Can happen on startup)
- Added thd to sart_slave_threads() for better error handling.
- Changed ER(ER_...) to ER_THD(thd, ER_...) when thd was known or if there was many calls to current_thd in the same function.
- Changed ER(ER_..) to ER_THD_OR_DEFAULT(current_thd, ER...) in some places where current_thd is not necessary defined.
- Removing calls to current_thd when we have access to thd
Part of this is optimization (not calling current_thd when not needed),
but part is bug fixing for error condition when current_thd is not defined
(For example on startup and end of mysqld)
Notable renames done as otherwise a lot of functions would have to be changed:
- In JOIN structure renamed:
examined_rows -> join_examined_rows
record_count -> join_record_count
- In Field, renamed new_field() to make_new_field()
Other things:
- Added DBUG_ASSERT(thd == tmp_thd) in Item_singlerow_subselect() just to be safe.
- Removed old 'tab' prefix in JOIN_TAB::save_explain_data() and use members directly
- Added 'thd' as argument to a few functions to avoid calling current_thd.
ORDER BY against union may confuse name resolution context, causing valid
SQL statements to fail.
The purpose of context change was presumably intended for the duration of
gathering field list for ORDER BY. However it isn't actually required (name
resolution context is never accessed by the latter).

remove the code that checks for correct options for
for CHECK/REPAIR VIEW. Rewrite the grammar for the parser
to check that. This changes error messages as
-ERROR 42000: You have an error ... near '' at line 1
+ERROR 42000: You have an error ... near 'quick' at line 1
- Changing Comp_creator::create() and create_swap() to return
Item_bool_rowready_func2 instead of Item_bool_func2, as they
can never return neither Item_func_like nor Item_func_xor
- Changing the first argument of Comp_create::create() and create_swap()
from THD to MEM_ROOT, so the method implementations can now reside in
item_cmpfunc.h instead of item_cmpfunc.cc and thus make the code slightly
easier to read.
Added THD argument to select_result and all derivative classes.
This reduces number of pthread_getspecific calls from 796 to 776 per OLTP RO
transaction.
sql_alloc() has additional costs compared to direct mem_root allocation:
- function call: it is defined in a separate translation unit and can't be
inlined
- it needs to call pthread_getspecific() to get THD::mem_root
It is called dozens of times implicitely at least by:
- List<>::push_back()
- List<>::push_front()
- new (for Sql_alloc derived classes)
- sql_memdup()
Replaced lots of implicit sql_alloc() calls with direct mem_root allocation,
passing through THD pointer whenever it is needed.
Number of sql_alloc() calls reduced 345 -> 41 per OLTP RO transaction.
pthread_getspecific() overhead dropped 0.76 -> 0.59
sql_alloc() overhed dropped 0.25 -> 0.06

WL#8354 BACKPORT DIGEST IMPROVEMENTS TO MYSQL 5.6
(with the following commits) and related changes in sql/
as Item_func_spatial_mbr_rel needs nothing from Item_bool_func2.
- Renaming Item_func_spacial_rel (the class that implements precise spacial
relations) to Item_func_spatial_precise_rel
- Adding a new abstract class Item_func_spatial_rel as a common parent
for Item_func_spatial_precise_rel and Item_func_spatial_mbr_rel.
