Killing a SELECT query with KILL QUERY or KILL CONNECTION
causes a server crash if the query cache is enabled.
Normal evaluation of a query may be interrupted by the
KILL QUERY/CONNECTION statement, in this case the mysql_execute_command
function returns TRUE, and the thd->killed flag has true value.
In this case the result of the query may
be cached incompletely (omitting call to query_cache_insert inside
the net_real_write function), and next call to query_cache_end_of_result
may lead to server crash.
Thus, the query_cache_end_of_result function has been modified to abort
query cache in the case of killed thread.
Although the query cache doesn't support retrieval of statements containing
column level access control, it was still possible to cache such statements
thus wasting memory.
This patch extends the access control check on the target tables to avoid
caching a statement with column level restrictions.
Views are excepted and can be cached but only retrieved by super user account.

Fixed bug in query cache that made it impossible to run mysqld with --debug
Fixed memory leaks in mysqldump and mysqltest
Memory leaks associated with wrong usage of mysqltest is not fixed. To find these, run
mysql-test-run --debug mysqltest
Add more accessors to MySQL internals in mysql/plugin.h, for storage
engine plugins.
Add some accessors specific to the InnoDB storage engine, to allow
InnoDB to be compiled as a plugin (without MYSQL_SERVER). InnoDB
has additional requirements, due to its foreign key support, etc.
Invaldating a subset of a sufficiently large query cache can take a long time.
During this time the server is efficiently frozen and no other operation can
be executed. This patch addresses this problem by moving the locks which cause
the freezing and also by temporarily disable the query cache while the
invalidation takes place.
When all table blocks were removed from the query cache the client session
hung in a tight loop waiting on an impossible condition while consuming a lot
of CPU.
This patch also corrects an error which caused valid tables to sometimes be
removed from the query cache.
cache by changing the behavior of the query cache resize-method.
- set query_cache_size=<new_size>; is significantly faster than RESET QUERY
CACHE as it simply destroys and recreates the query cache, whereas
RESET QUERY CACHE keeps its internal structure aligned with server
load profile.
The following type conversions was done:
- Changed byte to uchar
- Changed gptr to uchar*
- Change my_string to char *
- Change my_size_t to size_t
- Change size_s to size_t
Removed declaration of byte, gptr, my_string, my_size_t and size_s.
Following function parameter changes was done:
- All string functions in mysys/strings was changed to use size_t
instead of uint for string lengths.
- All read()/write() functions changed to use size_t (including vio).
- All protocoll functions changed to use size_t instead of uint
- Functions that used a pointer to a string length was changed to use size_t*
- Changed malloc(), free() and related functions from using gptr to use void *
as this requires fewer casts in the code and is more in line with how the
standard functions work.
- Added extra length argument to dirname_part() to return the length of the
created string.
- Changed (at least) following functions to take uchar* as argument:
- db_dump()
- my_net_write()
- net_write_command()
- net_store_data()
- DBUG_DUMP()
- decimal2bin() & bin2decimal()
- Changed my_compress() and my_uncompress() to use size_t. Changed one
argument to my_uncompress() from a pointer to a value as we only return
one value (makes function easier to use).
- Changed type of 'pack_data' argument to packfrm() to avoid casts.
- Changed in readfrm() and writefrom(), ha_discover and handler::discover()
the type for argument 'frmdata' to uchar** to avoid casts.
- Changed most Field functions to use uchar* instead of char* (reduced a lot of
casts).
- Changed field->val_xxx(xxx, new_ptr) to take const pointers.
Other changes:
- Removed a lot of not needed casts
- Added a few new cast required by other changes
- Added some cast to my_multi_malloc() arguments for safety (as string lengths
needs to be uint, not size_t).
- Fixed all calls to hash-get-key functions to use size_t*. (Needed to be done
explicitely as this conflict was often hided by casting the function to
hash_get_key).
- Changed some buffers to memory regions to uchar* to avoid casts.
- Changed some string lengths from uint to size_t.
- Changed field->ptr to be uchar* instead of char*. This allowed us to
get rid of a lot of casts.
- Some changes from true -> TRUE, false -> FALSE, unsigned char -> uchar
- Include zlib.h in some files as we needed declaration of crc32()
- Changed MY_FILE_ERROR to be (size_t) -1.
- Changed many variables to hold the result of my_read() / my_write() to be
size_t. This was needed to properly detect errors (which are
returned as (size_t) -1).
- Removed some very old VMS code
- Changed packfrm()/unpackfrm() to not be depending on uint size
(portability fix)
- Removed windows specific code to restore cursor position as this
causes slowdown on windows and we should not mix read() and pread()
calls anyway as this is not thread safe. Updated function comment to
reflect this. Changed function that depended on original behavior of
my_pwrite() to itself restore the cursor position (one such case).
- Added some missing checking of return value of malloc().
- Changed definition of MOD_PAD_CHAR_TO_FULL_LENGTH to avoid 'long' overflow.
- Changed type of table_def::m_size from my_size_t to ulong to reflect that
m_size is the number of elements in the array, not a string/memory
length.
- Moved THD::max_row_length() to table.cc (as it's not depending on THD).
Inlined max_row_length_blob() into this function.
- More function comments
- Fixed some compiler warnings when compiled without partitions.
- Removed setting of LEX_STRING() arguments in declaration (portability fix).
- Some trivial indentation/variable name changes.
- Some trivial code simplifications:
- Replaced some calls to alloc_root + memcpy to use
strmake_root()/strdup_root().
- Changed some calls from memdup() to strmake() (Safety fix)
- Simpler loops in client-simple.c

WL#1569 "Prepared Statements: implement support of Query Cache".
Prepared SELECTs did not look up in the query cache, and their results
were not stored in the query cache. This made them slower than
non-prepared SELECTs in some cases.
The fix is to re-use the expanded query (the prepared query where
"?" placeholders are replaced by their values, at execution time)
for searching/storing in the query cache.
It works fine for statements prepared via mysql_stmt_prepare(), which
are the most commonly used and were the scope of this bugfix and WL.
It works less fine for statements prepared via the SQL command
PREPARE...FROM, which are still not using the query cache if they
have at least one parameter (because then the expanded query contains
names of user variables, and user variables don't work with the
query cache, even in non-prepared queries).
Note that results from prepared SELECTs, which are in the binary
protocol, and results from normal SELECTs, which are in the text
protocol, ignore each other in the query cache, because a result in the
binary protocol should never be served to a SELECT expecting the text
protocol and vice-versa.
Note, after this patch, bug 25843 starts applying to query cache
("changing default database between PREPARE and EXECUTE of statement
breaks binlog"), we need to fix it.
"Server Variables for Plugins"
Implement support for plugins to declare server variables.
Demonstrate functionality by removing InnoDB specific code from sql/*
New feature for HASH - HASH_UNIQUE flag
New feature for DYNAMIC_ARRAY - initializer accepts preallocated ptr.
Completed support for plugin reference counting.

MySQL server could crash if two or more threads would initiate query
cache resize at the moments very close in time.
The problem was introduced with the fix of bug 21051 in 5.0 and 5.1:
simultaneous query cache resizes would wait for the first one in
progress, but then each thread would try to finish the operation,
accessing the data that was already reset (attempt to dereference
'bins' pointer, which may be NULL already).
The solution is to check after synchronization if another thread has
done the reset already (test 'query_cache_size > 0' again).
No test case is provided because the bug is a subject to a race.
