Problem description:
Giving "help 'contents'" in the mysql client as a first statement
gives error
Analysis:
In com_server_help() function the "server_cmd" variable was
initialised with buffer->ptr(). And the "server_cmd" variable is not
updated since we are passing "'contents'"(with single quote) so the
buffer->ptr() consists of the previous buffer values and it was sent
to the mysql_real_query() hence we are getting error.
Fix:
We are not initialising the "server_cmd" variable and we are updating
the variable with "server_cmd= cmd_buf" in any of the case i.e with
single quote or without single quote for the contents.
As part of error message improvement, added new error message in case
of "help 'contents'".
client/mysql.cc:
com_server_help(): Properly updated the server_cmd variable and improved
the error message.
- index_merge/intersection is unable to work on GIS indexes, because:
1. index scans have no Rowid-Ordered-Retrieval property
2. When one does an index-only read over a GIS index, they do not
get the index tuple, because index only contains bounding box of the geometry.
This is why key_copy() call crashed.
This patch fixes#1, which makes the problem go away. Theoretically, it would
be nice to check #2, too, but SE API semantics is not sufficiently precise to do it.
"ORDER BY" AND "LIMIT BY" CLAUSE
PROBLEM:
When a 'limit' clause is specified in a query along with
group by and order by, optimizer chooses wrong index
there by examining more number of rows than required.
However without the 'limit' clause, optimizer chooses
the right index.
ANALYSIS:
With respect to the query specified, range optimizer chooses
the first index as there is a range present ( on 'a'). Optimizer
then checks for an index which would give records in sorted
order for the 'group by' clause.
While checking chooses the second index (on 'c,b,a') based on
the 'limit' specified and the selectivity of
'quick_condition_rows' (number of rows present in the range)
in 'test_if_skip_sort_order' function.
But, it fails to consider that an order by clause on a
different column will result in scanning the entire index and
hence the estimated number of rows calculated above are
wrong (which results in choosing the second index).
FIX:
Do not enforce the 'limit' clause in the call to
'test_if_skip_sort_order' if we are creating a temporary
table. Creation of temporary table indicates that there would be
more post-processing and hence will need all the rows.
This fix is backported from 5.6. This problem is fixed in 5.6 as
part of changes for work log #5558
mysql-test/r/subselect.result:
Changes for Bug#11762052 results in the correct number of rows.
sql/sql_select.cc:
Do not pass the actual 'limit' value if 'need_tmp' is true.
RBR AND RC
Description: When scanning and locking rows with < or <=, InnoDB locks
the next row even though row based binary logging and read committed
is used.
Solution: In the handler, when the row is identified to fall outside
of the range (as specified in the query predicates), then request the
storage engine to unlock the row (if possible). This is done in
handler::read_range_first() and handler::read_range_next().
Problem:
=======
The return value from my_b_write is ignored by: `my_b_write_quoted',
`my_b_write_bit',`Query_log_event::print_query_header'
Most callers of `my_b_printf' ignore the return value. `log_event.cc'
has many calls to it.
Analysis:
========
`my_b_write' is used to write data into a file. If the write fails it
sets appropriate error number and error message through my_error()
function call and sets the IO_CACHE::error == -1.
`my_b_printf' function is also used to write data into a file, it
internally invokes my_b_write to do the write operation. Upon
success it returns number of characters written to file and on error
it returns -1 and sets the error through my_error() and also sets
IO_CACHE::error == -1. Most of the event specific print functions
for example `Create_file_log_event::print', `Execute_load_log_event::print'
etc are the ones which make several calls to the above two functions and
they do not check for the return value after the 'print' call. All the above
mentioned abuse cases deal with the client side.
Fix:
===
As part of bug fix a check for IO_CACHE::error == -1 has been added at
a very high level after the call to the 'print' function. There are
few more places where the return value of "my_b_write" is ignored
those are mentioned below.

Fixes for BUG11761686 left a flaw that managed to slip away from testing.
Only effective filtering branch was actually tested with a regression test
added to rpl_filter_tables_not_exist.
The reason of the failure is destuction of too early mem-root-allocated memory
at the end of the deferred User-var's do_apply_event().
Fixed with bypassing free_root() in the deferred execution branch.
Deallocation of created in do_apply_event() items is done by the base code
through THD::cleanup_after_query() -> free_items() that the parent Query
can't miss.

Do not call free_root() in case the deferred User-var event.
Necessary methods to the User-var class are added, do_apply_event() refined.

HANDLE_FATAL_SIGNAL IN STRNLEN
Fixed the following bounds checking problems :

string is long enough before accessing the bytes in it.
Prevents pottential read-past-buffer-end
2. in my_wc_mb_filename() of the filename charset check
for the end of the destination buffer before sending single
byte characters into it.
Prevents write-past-end-of-buffer (and garbaling stack in
the cases reported here) errors.
Added test cases.
This is a followup patch for the bug enabling the test
i_binlog.binlog_mysqlbinlog_file_write.test
this was disabled in mysql trunk and mysql 5.5 as in the release
build mysqlbinlog was not debug compiled whereas the mysqld was.
Since have_debug.inc script checks only for mysqld to be debug
compiled, the test was not being skipped on release builds.
We resolve this problem by creating a new inc file
mysqlbinlog_have_debug.inc which checks exclusively for mysqlbinlog
to be debug compiled. if not it skips the test.
mysql-test/include/mysqlbinlog_have_debug.inc:
new inc file to check if mysqlbinlog is debug compiled.
Several fixes :
* sql-common/client.c
Added a validity check of the fields metadata packet sent
by the server.
Now libmysql will check if the length of the data sent by
the server matches what's expected by the protocol before
using the data.
* client/mysqltest.cc
Fixed the error handling code in mysqltest to avoid sending
new commands when the reading the result set failed (and
there are unread data in the pipe).
* sql_common.h + libmysql/libmysql.c + sql-common/client.c
unpack_fields() now generates a proper error when it fails.
Added a new argument to this function to support the error
generation.
* sql/protocol.cc
Added a debug trigger to cause the server to send a NULL
insted of the packet expected by the client for testing
purposes.

Patch provided by Ramil Kalimullin.
We set correct cmp_context during preparation to avoid changing it later by Item_field::equal_fields_propagator.
(see mysql bugs #57135#57692 during merging)
Virtual columns of ENUM and SET data types were not supported properly
in the original patch that introduced virtual columns into MariaDB 5.2.
The problem was that for any virtual column the patch used the
interval_id field of the definition of the column in the frm file as
a reference to the virtual column expression.
The fix stores the optional interval_id of the virtual column in the
extended header of the virtual column expression.
Problem: Some queries with subqueries and a HAVING clause that
consists only of a column not in the select or grouping lists causes
the server to crash.
During parsing, an Item_ref is constructed for the HAVING column. The
name of the column is resolved when JOIN::prepare calls fix_fields()
on its having clause. Since the column is not mentioned in the select
or grouping lists, a ref pointer is not found and a new Item_field is
created instead. The Item_ref is replaced by the Item_field in the
tree of HAVING clauses. Since the tree consists only of this item, the
pointer that is updated is JOIN::having. However,
st_select_lex::having still points to the Item_ref as the root of the
tree of HAVING clauses.
The bug is triggered when doing filesort for create_sort_index(). When
find_all_keys() calls select->cond->walk() it eventually reaches
Item_subselect::walk() where it continues to walk the having clauses
from lex->having. This means that it finds the Item_ref instead of the
new Item_field, and Item_ref::walk() tries to dereference the ref
pointer, which is still null.
The crash is reproducible only in 5.5, but the problem lies latent in
5.1 and trunk as well.
Fix: After calling fix_fields on the having clause in JOIN::prepare(),
set select_lex::having to point to the same item as JOIN::having.
This patch also fixes a bug in 5.1 and 5.5 that is triggered if the
query is executed as a prepared statement. The Item_field is created
in the runtime arena when the query is prepared, and the pointer to
the item is saved by st_select_lex::fix_prepare_information() and
brought back as a dangling pointer when the query is executed, after
the runtime arena has been reclaimed.
Fix: Backport fix from trunk that switches to the permanent arena
before calling Item_ref::fix_fields() in JOIN::prepare().
sql/item.cc:
Set context when creating Item_field.
sql/sql_select.cc:
Switch to permanent arena and update select_lex->having.
Analysis:
The fix for bug lp:985667 implements the method Item_subselect::no_rows_in_result()
for all main kinds of subqueries. The purpose of this method is to be called from
return_zero_rows() and set Items to some default value in the case when a query
returns no rows. Aggregates and subqueries require special treatment in this case.
Every implementation of Item_subselect::no_rows_in_result() called
Item_subselect::make_const() to set the subquery predicate to its default value
irrespective of where the predicate was located in the query. Once the predicate
was set to a constant it was never executed.
At the same time, the JOIN object of the fake select for UNIONs (the one used for
the final result of the UNION), was set after all subqueries in the union were
executed. Since we set the subquery as constant, it was never executed, and the
corresponding JOIN was never created.
In order to decide whether the result of NOT IN is NULL or FALSE, Item_in_optimizer
needs to check if the subquery result was empty or not. This is where we got the
crash, because subselect_union_engine::no_rows() checks for
unit->fake_select_lex->join->send_records, and the join object was NULL.
Solution:
If a subquery is in the HAVING clause it must be evaluated in order to know its
result, so that we can properly filter the result records. Once subqueries in the
HAVING clause are executed even in the case of no result rows, this specific
crash will be solved, because the UNION will be executed, and its JOIN will be
constructed. Therefore the fix for this crash is to narrow the fix for lp:985667,
and to apply Item_subselect::no_rows_in_result() only when the subquery predicate
is in the SELECT clause.
Analysis:
Queries with implicit grouping (there is aggregate, but no group by)
follow some non-obvious semantics in the case of empty result set.
Aggregate functions produce some special "natural" value depending on
the function. For instance MIN/MAX return NULL, COUNT returns 0.
The complexity comes from non-aggregate expressions in the select list.
If the non-aggregate expression is a constant, it can be computed, so
we should return its value, however if the expression is non-constant,
and depends on columns from the empty result set, then the only meaningful
value is NULL.
The cause of the wrong result was that for subqueries the optimizer didn't
make a difference between constant and non-constant ones in the case of
empty result for implicit grouping.
Solution:
In all implementations of Item_subselect::no_rows_in_result() check if the
subquery predicate is constant. If it is constant, do not set it to the
default value for implicit grouping, instead let it be evaluated.
INC_HOST_ERRORS() IS CALLED.
Issue : Sequence of calling inc_host_errors()
and reset_host_errors() required some
changes in order to maintain correct
connection error count.
Solution : Call to reset_host_errors() is shifted
to a location after which no calls to
inc_host_errors() are made.
Problem
========
Replication breaks in the cases if the event length exceeds
the size of master Dump thread's max_allowed_packet.
The reason why this failure is occuring is because the event length is
more than the total size of the max_allowed_packet, on addition of the
max_event_header length exceeds the max_allowed_packet of the DUMP thread.
This causes the Dump thread to break replication and throw an error.
That can happen e.g with row-based replication in Update_rows event.
Fix
====
The problem is fixed in 2 steps:
1.) The Dump thread limit to read event is increased to the upper limit
i.e. Dump thread reads whatever gets logged in the binary log.
2.) On the slave side we increase the the max_allowed_packet for the
slave's threads (IO/SQL) by increasing it to 1GB.
This is done using the new server option (slave_max_allowed_packet)
included, is used to regulate the max_allowed_packet of the
slave thread (IO/SQL) by the DBA, and facilitates the sending of
large packets from the master to the slave.
This causes the large packets to be received by the slave and apply
it successfully.
sql/log_event.cc:
The max_allowed_packet is not evaluated to the new option
slave_max_allowed_packet after the fix.
sql/log_event.h:
Added the new option in the log_event.h file.
sql/mysqld.cc:
Added a new option to the server.
sql/slave.cc:
Increasing the session max_allowed_packet to a large value,
i.e. not taking global(max_allowed) into consideration, for the slave's threads.
sql/sql_repl.cc:
The dump thread's max_allowed_packet is set to the upper limit
which makes it independent and it now reads whatever gets
logged in the binary log.
One of the reported problems manifested itself in the scenario when one
thread tried to to get statistics on a key cache while the second thread
had not finished initialization of the key cache structure yet.
The problem was resolved by forcing serialization of such operations
on key caches.
To serialize function calls to perform certain operations over a key cache
a new mutex associated with the key cache now is used. It is stored in the
field op_lock of the KEY_CACHE structure. It is locked when the operation
is performed. Some of the serialized key cache operations utilize calls
for other key cache operations. To avoid recursive locking of op_lock
the new functions that perform the operations of key cache initialization,
destruction and re-partitioning with an additional parameter were introduced.
The parameter says whether the operation over op_lock are to be performed or
are to be omitted. The old functions for the operations of key cache
initialization, destruction,and re-partitioning now just call the
corresponding new functions with the additional parameter set to true
requesting to use op_lock while all other calls of these new function
have this parameter set to false.
Another problem reported in the bug entry concerned the operation of
assigning an index to a key cache. This operation can be called
while the key cache structures are not initialized yet. In this
case any call of flush_key_blocks() should return without any actions.
No test case is provided with this patch.
