Connection of slave to master using a replication account which authenticates
with an external plugin was not possible.
Fixed by making sure that the CLIENT_PLUGIN_AUTH capability is set when client connects using mysql_real_connect(). Also, a plugin-dir path used by client library to locate authentication plugins is set based on the analogous server setting. This is done in connect_to_master() function before a call to mysql_real_connect().
Changed semantics of AUTHENTICATION_WIN_LOG environment variable recognized by client library to accept the following values which are levels of logging done during Windows authentication handshake:
0 - no logging
1 - log only error messages
2 - additionally log warnings
3 - additionally log info notes
4 - also log debug messages
Setting it to 'on', 'yes' or 'true' will request log level 2 and setting it to 'debug' or 'dbug' will request log level 4.
Since the Windows authentication support has been added to libmysql, this library depends on the system Secur32 library. Consequently, clients which are linked against libmysql should be also linked with Secur32 (in addition to ws2_32).
In MS VC++ it is possible to embed information about required libraries into object file using #pragma directive. This patch adds such directive when the Windows authentiaction support is compiled. This is similar to analogous #pragma for ws2_32 library in my_init.c
THAT CALL STORED PROCEDURES.
The bug was introduced by WL#4435. The problem was that if a stored
procedure generated a few result sets with different set of columns,
a new memory would be allocated after every EXECUTE for every
result set.
The fix is to introduce a new memory root in scope of MYSQL_STMT,
and to store result-set metadata in that memory root.
BEFORE: First packet sent by client-side plugin (generated by Windows
function InitializeSecurityContext()) could be longer than 255 bytes
violating the limitation imposed by authentication protocol.
AFTER: Handshake protocol is changed so that if first client's reply is
longer than 254 bytes then it is be sent in 2 parts. However, for replies
shorter than 255 bytes nothing changes.
ADDITIONAL CHANGES:
- The generic packet processing loop (Handshake::packet_processing_loop)
has been refactored. Communication with the peer has been abstracted
into virtual methods read/write_packet() which are implemented in client
and server and transparently do the required splitting and gluing of packets.
- Make it possible to optionally use dbug library in the plugin.
- Add code for testing splitting of long first client reply.
into the server repository
This patch adds client windows authentication plugin code to the client
library libmysql (only on Windows platform). The plugin is compiled into
the library and added to the list of built-in plugins. This way clients
should be able to connect to a server which uses windows authentication
plugin even as an SQL user which uses such authentication.
Note: this makes the client library to depend on Secur32 Windows system
library. When building clients, they must be linked against Secur32.
Command mysql_config --libs correctly lists Secur32 as a required
dependency.
and 'THREAD_SAFE_CLIENT'.
As of MySQL 5.5, we no longer support non-threaded
builds. This patch removes all references to the
obsolete THREAD and THREAD_SAFE_CLIENT preprocessor
symbols. These were used to distinguish between
threaded and non-threaded builds.
The autotools-based build system has been superseded and
is being removed in order to ease the maintenance burden on
developers tweaking and maintaining the build system.
In order to support tools that need to extract the server
version, a new file that (only) contains the server version,
called VERSION, is introduced. The file contents are human
and machine-readable. The format is:
MYSQL_VERSION_MAJOR=5
MYSQL_VERSION_MINOR=5
MYSQL_VERSION_PATCH=8
MYSQL_VERSION_EXTRA=-rc
The CMake based version extraction in cmake/mysql_version.cmake
is changed to extract the version from this file. The configure
to CMake wrapper is retained for backwards compatibility and to
support the BUILD/ scripts. Also, a new a makefile target
show-dist-name that prints the server version is introduced.
connectors plugins
Implemented changes needed to keep the client plugin API compatible with
the existing plugins :
1. Provided an options() client plugin API to let the application pass
options to the plugin after loading it
2. Added "License" (const char *) to specify the client plugin's license
3. Added "mysql_api" as a placeholder that the client library can use
to pass function pointers to the plugin so that the plugin can call the
C lib back.
4. Updated the existing client plugins to comply with the API change.
5. Added more detailed error message generation for Windows.
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.
Apart strict-aliasing warnings, fix the remaining warnings
generated by GCC 4.4.4 -Wall and -Wextra flags.
One major source of warnings was the in-house function my_bcmp
which (unconventionally) took pointers to unsigned characters
as the byte sequences to be compared. Since my_bcmp and bcmp
are deprecated functions whose only difference with memcmp is
the return value, every use of the function is replaced with
memcmp as the special return value wasn't actually being used
by any caller.
There were also various other warnings, mostly due to type
mismatches, missing return values, missing prototypes, dead
code (unreachable) and ignored return values.
POSIX requires that a signal handler defined with sigaction()
is not reset on delivering a signal unless SA_NODEFER or
SA_RESETHAND is set. It is therefore unnecessary to redefine
the handler on signal delivery on platforms where sigaction()
is used without those flags.
