check_valid_path() uses my_strcspn() that cannot handle invalid characters
properly. This is fixed by a big refactoring in 10.2 (MDEV-6353).
For 5.5, let's simply swap tests, because check_string_char_length()
rejects invalid characters just fine.
Description:- During server startup, the server exits if
the 'mysql.plugin' system table has any rows with empty
value for the field 'name' (plugin name).
Plugin fixed to not lock the LOCK_operations when not active.
Server fixed to lock the LOCK_plugin less - do it once per
thread and then only if a plugin was installed/uninstalled.
In wsrep_plugins_post_init we iterate all theads and if they are
galera appliers (wsrep_applier) we init session variables. However,
current_thd was not set and recent changes on session variables
require holding LOCK_gloal_system_variables mutex.
Only take LOCK_plugin for plugin system variables.
Reverted optimisation that was originally done for session tracker: it
makes much less sense now. Specifically only if connections would want to
track plugin session variables changes and these changes would actually
happen frequently. If this ever becomes an issue, there're much better
ways to optimise this workload.
Part of MDEV-14984 - regression in connect performance
When enabling system variables tracker, make a copy of
global_system_variables.session_track_system_variables
under LOCK_global_system_variables. This protects from concurrent variable
updates and potential freed memory access, as well as from variable
reconstruction (which was previously protected by LOCK_plugin).
We can also use this copy as a session variable pointer, so that we don't
have to allocate memory and reconstruct it every time it is referenced.
For this very reason we don't need buffer_length stuff anymore.
As well as don't we need to take LOCK_plugin early in ::enable().
Unified ::parse_var_list() to acquire LOCK_plugin unconditionally.
For no apparent reason it wasn't previously acquired for global
variable update.

main.derived_cond_pushdown: Move all 10.3 tests to the end,
trim trailing white space, and add an "End of 10.3 tests" marker.
Add --sorted_result to tests where the ordering is not deterministic.
main.win_percentile: Add --sorted_result to tests where the
ordering is no longer deterministic.
Handle string length as size_t, consistently (almost always:))
Change function prototypes to accept size_t, where in the past
ulong or uint were used. change local/member variables to size_t
when appropriate.
This fix excludes rocksdb, spider,spider, sphinx and connect for now.
This will make it easier to how memory allocation is done when debugging
with either DBUG or gdb.
Will especially help when debugging stored procedures
Main change is a name argument as second argument to init_alloc_root()
init_sql_alloc()
Other things:
- Added DBUG_ENTER/EXIT to some Virtual_tmp_table functions
This preserves const str for constant strings
Other things
- A few variables where changed from LEX_STRING to LEX_CSTRING
- Incident_log_event::Incident_log_event and record_incident where
changed to take LEX_CSTRING* as an argument instead of LEX_STRING
This was done in, among other things:
- thd->db and thd->db_length
- TABLE_LIST tablename, db, alias and schema_name
- Audit plugin database name
- lex->db
- All db and table names in Alter_table_ctx
- st_select_lex db
Other things:
- Changed a lot of functions to take const LEX_CSTRING* as argument
for db, table_name and alias. See init_one_table() as an example.
- Changed some function arguments from LEX_CSTRING to const LEX_CSTRING
- Changed some lists from LEX_STRING to LEX_CSTRING
- threads_mysql.result changed because process list_db wasn't always
correctly updated
- New append_identifier() function that takes LEX_CSTRING* as arguments
- Added new element tmp_buff to Alter_table_ctx to separate temp name
handling from temporary space
- Ensure we store the length after my_casedn_str() of table/db names
- Removed not used version of rename_table_in_stat_tables()
- Changed Natural_join_column::table_name and db_name() to never return
NULL (used for print)
- thd->get_db() now returns db as a printable string (thd->db.str or "")
Solve 3 way deadlock between plugin_initialiaze(), THD::init() and
mysql_sys_var_char().
The deadlock exists because of the lock order inversion between
LOCK_global_system_variables mutex and LOCK_system_variables_hash
read-write lock-
In this case, it is enough to change LOCK_system_variables_hash to prefer
reads to fix the deadlock, i.e change it to mysql_prlock_t
