causes server crash
Analysis: If wrong data types used on foreign constraint there
was possibility that foreign->id is NULL when incorrect
foreign constraint was removed from the dictionary cache.
Fix: Add guard foreign->id != NULL before trying to lookup
or remove the foreign constraint from dictionary cache.
Tested using user database where problem was repeatable.
On PPC64 high-loaded server may crash due to assertion failure in InnoDB
rwlocks code.
This happened because load order between "recursive" and "writer_thread"
wasn't properly enforced.
Use traditional statistics estimation by default (innodb-stats-traditional=true).
There could be performance regression for customers if there is a lot of
open table operations.
innodb_stats_sample_pages
Analysis: If you set the number of analyzed pages
to very low number compared to actual pages on
that table/index it randomly pics those pages
(default 8 pages), this leads to fact that query
after analyze table returns different results. If
the index tree is small, smaller than 10 *
n_sample_pages + total_external_size, then the
estimate is ok. For bigger index trees it is
common that we do not see any borders between
key values in the few pages we pick. But still
there may be n_sample_pages different key values,
or even more. And it just tries to
approximate to n_sample_pages (8).
Fix: (1) Introduced new dynamic configuration variable
innodb_stats_sample_traditional that retains
the current design. Default false.
(2) If traditional sample is not used we use
n_sample_pages = max(min(srv_stats_sample_pages,
index->stat_index_size),
log2(index->stat_index_size)*
srv_stats_sample_pages);
(3) Introduced new dynamic configuration variable
stat_modified_counter (default = 0) if set
sets lower bound for row updates when statistics is re-estimated.
If user has provided upper bound for how many rows needs to be updated
before we calculate new statistics we use minimum of provided value
and 1/16 of table every 16th round. If no upper bound is provided
(srv_stats_modified_counter = 0, default) then calculate new statistics
if 1 / 16 of table has been modified
since the last time a statistics batch was run.
We calculate statistics at most every 16th round, since we may have
a counter table which is very small and updated very often.
@param t table
@return true if the table has changed too much and stats need to be
recalculated

The bug was that full memory barrier was missing in the code that ensures that
a waiter on an InnoDB mutex will not go to sleep unless it is guaranteed to be
woken up again by another thread currently holding the mutex. This made
possible a race where a thread could get stuck waiting for a mutex that is in
fact no longer locked. If that thread was also holding other critical locks,
this could stall the entire server. There is an error monitor thread than can
break the stall, it runs about once per second. But if the error monitor
thread itself got stuck or was not running, then the entire server could hang
infinitely.
This was introduced on i386/amd64 platforms in 5.5.40 and 10.0.13 by an
incorrect patch that tried to fix the similar problem for PowerPC.
This commit reverts the incorrect PowerPC patch, and instead implements a fix
for PowerPC that does not change i386/amd64 behaviour, making PowerPC work
similarly to i386/amd64.
Analysis: InnoDB error monitor is responsible to call every second
sync_arr_wake_threads_if_sema_free() to wake up possible hanging
threads if they are missed in mutex_signal_object. This is not
possible if error monitor itself is on mutex/semaphore wait. We
should avoid all unnecessary mutex/semaphore waits on error monitor.
Currently error monitor calls function buf_flush_stat_update()
that calls log_get_lsn() function and there we will try to get
log_sys mutex. Better, solution for error monitor is that in
buf_flush_stat_update() we will try to get lsn with
mutex_enter_nowait() and if we did not get mutex do not update
the stats.
Fix: Use log_get_lsn_nowait() function on buf_flush_stat_update()
function. If returned lsn is 0, we do not update flush stats.
log_get_lsn_nowait() will use mutex_enter_nowait() and if
we get mutex we return a correct lsn if not we return 0.
When UNIV_INTERN is missing in built-in XtraDB, this causes the
innodb_plugin to call the XtraDB version of the function instead
of its own (seen in --embedded-server test failure in Buildbot).
This in turn causes bad things to happen in case of difference
between XtranDB and innodb_plugin.
MDEV-6483 - Deadlock around rw_lock_debug_mutex on PPC64
This problem affects only debug builds on PPC64.
There are at least two race conditions around
rw_lock_debug_mutex_enter and rw_lock_debug_mutex_exit:
- rw_lock_debug_waiters was loaded/stored without setting
appropriate locks/memory barriers.
- there is a gap between calls to os_event_reset() and
os_event_wait() and in such case we're supposed to pass
return value of the former to the latter.
Fixed by replacing self-cooked spinlocks with system mutexes.
These days system mutexes offer much better performance. OTOH
performance is not that critical for debug builds.
MDEV-6450 - MariaDB crash on Power8 when built with advance tool
chain
InnoDB mutex_exit() function calls __sync_test_and_set() to release
the lock. According to manual this function is supposed to create
"acquire" memory barrier whereas in fact we need "release" memory
barrier at mutex_exit().
The problem isn't repeatable with gcc because it creates
"acquire-release" memory barrier for __sync_test_and_set().
ATC creates just "acquire" barrier.
Fixed by creating proper barrier at mutex_exit() by using
__sync_lock_release() instead of __sync_test_and_set().
Part of this work is based on Stewart Smitch's memory barrier and lower priori
patches for power8.
- Added memory syncronization for innodb & xtradb for power8.
- Added HAVE_WINDOWS_MM_FENCE to CMakeList.txt
- Added os_isync to fix a syncronization problem on power
- Added log_get_lsn_nowait which is now used srv_error_monitor_thread to ensur
if log mutex is locked.
All changes done both for InnoDB and Xtradb
InnoDB: Failing assertion: mutex_own(&buf_pool->LRU_list_mutex)
and
InnoDB: Assertion failure in thread 2868898624 in file buf0lru.c line 1077
InnoDB: Failing assertion: mutex_own(&buf_pool->LRU_list_mutex)
Analysis: Function buf_LRU_free_block might release LRU_list_mutex on
same cases to avoid mutex order problems, we need to take it back
before accessing list.
than with InnoDB plugin
Fix: os0file.h in XtraDB had OS_AIO_N_PENDING_IOS_PER_THREAD 256
when on InnoDB it is OS_AIO_N_PENDING_IOS_PER_THREAD 32. Changed
XtraDB also to use 32.
Analysis: Based on crashed the buffer pool instance identifier is
not correct on block to be freed. Add LRU list mutex holding
on functions calling free and add additional safety checks.
Analysis: Can't disable the error message because you may get database
started with incorrect log file size.
Fix: Thus only improve the error message to give more information
to users.
on select from I_S.INNODB_CHANGED_PAGES
Analysis: limit_lsn_range_from_condition() incorrectly parses
start_lsn and/or end_lsn conditions.
Fix from SergeyP. Added some test cases.
- Table locks now ends with state "After table lock"
- Open table now ends with state "After opening tables"
- All calls to close_thread_tables(), not only from mysql_execute_command(), has state "closing tables"
- Added state "executing" for mysql admin commands, like CACHE INDEX, REPAIR TABLE etc.
- Added state "Finding key cache" for CACHE INDEX
- Added state "Filling schema table" when we generate temporary table for SHOW commands and information schema.

This is not yet a fix. This is change to print additional information at the point
when this assertion is going to happen. Print as much information about the pages
and index to find out why next page is not a compact format.
file storage.
Analysis: posix_fallocate was called using 0 as offset and len as
desired size. This is not optimal for SSDs.
Fix: Call posix_fallocate with correct offset i.e. current file size
and extend the file from there len bytes.
