There are two threads. In one thread, dml operation is going on
involving cascaded update operation. In another thread, alter
table add foreign key constraint is happening. Under these
circumstances, it is possible for the dml thread to access a
dict_foreign_t object that has been freed by the ddl thread.
The debug sync test case provides the sequence of operations.
Without fix, the test case will crash the server (because of
newly added assert). With fix, the alter table stmt will return
an error message.
Backporting the fix from MySQL 5.5 to 5.1

On shutdown(), Windows can drop traffic still queued for sending even if that
wasn't specifically requested. As a result, fatal errors (those after
signaling which the server will drop the connection) were sometimes only
seen as "connection lost" on the client side, because the server-side
shutdown() erraneously discarded the correct error message before sending
it.
If on Windows, we now use the Windows API to access the (non-broken) equivalent
of shutdown().
Backport from trunk
Introducing new collations:
utf8_general_mysql500_ci and ucs2_general_mysql500_ci,
to reproduce behaviour of utf8_general_ci and ucs2_general_ci
from mysql-5.1.23 (and earlier).
The collations are added to simplify upgrade from mysql-5.1.23 and earlier.
Note: The patch does not make new server start over old data automatically.
Some manual upgrade procedures are assumed.
Paul: please get in touch with me to discuss upgrade procedures
when documenting this bug.

CREATE_TIME IN INFORMATION_SC
It was impossible to determine MEMORY table creation time,
since it wasn't stored/exposed.
With this patch creation time is saved and it is available via
I_S.TABLES.CREATE_TIME.
Note: it was decided that additional analysis is required before
implementing UPDATE_TIME. Thus this patch doesn't store UPDATE_TIME.
Converting the number zero to binary and back yielded the number zero,
but with no digits, i.e. zero precision.
This made the multiply algorithm go haywire in various ways.
CLIENT TOOLS
The fix is to backport part of revision:
- alexander.nozdrin@oracle.com-20101006150613-ls60rb2tq5dpyb5c
from mysql-5.5. In detail, we add the oracle welcome notice
header file proposed in the original patch and include/use it
in client/mysqlbinlog.cc, replacing the existing and obsolete
notice.
The problem is that although AIX implements bzero, its prototype
is not declared by default. Since AC_CHECK_FUNC(bzero) succeeds
even though a prototype is not declared, this breaks compilation
in C++ files where a prototype is required.
The solution is to only use bzero if a prototype is also declared.
In sql_class.cc, 'row_count', of type 'ha_rows', was used as last argument for
ER_TRUNCATED_WRONG_VALUE_FOR_FIELD which is
"Incorrect %-.32s value: '%-.128s' for column '%.192s' at row %ld".
So 'ha_rows' was used as 'long'.
On SPARC32 Solaris builds, 'long' is 4 bytes and 'ha_rows' is 'longlong' i.e. 8 bytes.
So the printf-like code was reading only the first 4 bytes.
Because the CPU is big-endian, 1LL is 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x01
so the first four bytes yield 0. So the warning message had "row 0" instead of
"row 1" in test outfile_loaddata.test:
-Warning 1366 Incorrect string value: '\xE1\xE2\xF7' for column 'b' at row 1
+Warning 1366 Incorrect string value: '\xE1\xE2\xF7' for column 'b' at row 0
All error-messaging functions which internally invoke some printf-life function
are potential candidate for such mistakes.
One apparently easy way to catch such mistakes is to use
ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT (from my_attribute.h).
But this works only when call site has both:
a) the format as a string literal
b) the types of arguments.
So:
func(ER(ER_BLAH), 10);
will silently not be checked, because ER(ER_BLAH) is not known at
compile time (it is known at run-time, and depends on the chosen
language).
And
func("%s", a va_list argument);
has the same problem, as the *real* type of arguments is not
known at this site at compile time (it's known in some caller).
Moreover,
func(ER(ER_BLAH));
though possibly correct (if ER(ER_BLAH) has no '%' markers), will not
compile (gcc says "error: format not a string literal and no format
arguments").
Consequences:
1) ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT is here added only to functions which in practice
take "string literal" formats: "my_error_reporter" and "print_admin_msg".
2) it cannot be added to the other functions: my_error(),
push_warning_printf(), Table_check_intact::report_error(),
general_log_print().
To do a one-time check of functions listed in (2), the following
"static code analysis" has been done:
1) replace
my_error(ER_xxx, arguments for substitution in format)
with the equivalent
my_printf_error(ER_xxx,ER(ER_xxx), arguments for substitution in
format),
so that we have ER(ER_xxx) and the arguments *in the same call site*
2) add ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT to push_warning_printf(),
Table_check_intact::report_error(), general_log_print()
3) replace ER(xxx) with the hard-coded English text found in
errmsg.txt (like: ER(ER_UNKNOWN_ERROR) is replaced with
"Unknown error"), so that a call site has the format as string literal
4) this way, ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT can effectively do its job
5) compile, fix errors detected by ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT
6) revert steps 1-2-3.
The present patch has no compiler error when submitted again to the
static code analysis above.
It cannot catch all problems though: see Field::set_warning(), in
which a call to push_warning_printf() has a variable error
(thus, not replacable by a string literal); I checked set_warning() calls
by hand though.
See also WL 5883 for one proposal to avoid such bugs from appearing
again in the future.
The issues fixed in the patch are:
a) mismatch in types (like 'int' passed to '%ld')
b) more arguments passed than specified in the format.
This patch resolves mismatches by changing the type/number of arguments,
not by changing error messages of sql/share/errmsg.txt. The latter would be wrong,
per the following old rule: errmsg.txt must be as stable as possible; no insertions
or deletions of messages, no changes of type or number of printf-like format specifiers,
are allowed, as long as the change impacts a message already released in a GA version.
If this rule is not followed:
- Connectors, which use error message numbers, will be confused (by insertions/deletions
of messages)
- using errmsg.sys of MySQL 5.1.n with mysqld of MySQL 5.1.(n+1)
could produce wrong messages or crash; such usage can easily happen if
installing 5.1.(n+1) while /etc/my.cnf still has --language=/path/to/5.1.n/xxx;
or if copying mysqld from 5.1.(n+1) into a 5.1.n installation.
When fixing b), I have verified that the superfluous arguments were not used in the format
in the first 5.1 GA (5.1.30 'bteam@astra04-20081114162938-z8mctjp6st27uobm').
Had they been used, then passing them today, even if the message doesn't use them
anymore, would have been necessary, as explained above.
The LGPL license is used in some legacy code, and to
adhere to current licensing polity, we remove those
files that are no longer used, and reorganize the
remaining LGPL code so it will be GPL licensed from
now on.
Note: This patch only removed LGPL licensed files
in MySQL 5.1, and is the second of a set of
patches to remove LGPL from all trees.
(See Bug# 11840513 for details)

Assertion `bitmap_is_set_all(&table->s->all_set)' failed in
handler::ha_reset
This assertion could be triggered if two connections simultaneously
executed two bitmap test functions on the same bitmap. For example,
the assertion could be triggered if one connection executed UPDATE
while a second connection executed SELECT on the same table.
Even if bitmap test functions have read-only semantics and have
const bitmaps as parameter, several of them modified the internal
state of the bitmap. With interleaved execution of two such functions
it was possible for one function to modify the state of the same
bitmap that the other function had just modified. This lead to an
inconsistent state and could trigger the assert.
Internally the bitmap uses 32 bit words for storage. Since bitmaps
can contain any number of bits, the last word in the bitmap may
not be fully used. A 32 bit mask is maintained where a bit is set
if the corresponding bit in the last bitmap word is unused.
The problem was that several test functions applied this mask to
the last word. Sometimes the mask was negated and used to zero out
the remainder of the last word and sometimes the mask was used as-is
to fill the remainder of the last word with 1's. This meant that if
a function first used the negated mask and another function then
used the mask as-is (or vice-versa), the first function would then
get the wrong result.
This patch fixes the problem by changing the implementation of
9 bitmap functions that modified the bitmap state even if the
bitmap was declared const. These functions now preserve the
internal state of the bitmap. This makes it possible for
two connections to concurrently execute two of these functions
on the same bitmap without issues.
The patch also removes dead testing code from my_bitmap.c.
These tests have already been moved to unittest/mysys/bitmap-t.c.
Existing test coverage of my_bitmap has been extended.
No MTR test case added as this would require adding several sync
points to the bitmap functions. The patch has been tested with
a non-deterministic test case posted on the bug report.
Bug #55755 : Date STD variable signness breaks server on FreeBSD and OpenBSD
* Added a check to configure on the size of time_t
* Created a macro to check for a valid time_t that is safe to use with datetime
functions and store in TIMESTAMP columns.
* Used the macro consistently instead of the ad-hoc checks introduced by 52315
* Fixed compliation warnings on platforms where the size of time_t is smaller than
the size of a long (e.g. OpenBSD 4.8 64 amd64).
Bug #52315: utc_date() crashes when system time > year 2037
* Added a correct check for the timestamp range instead of just variable size check to
SET TIMESTAMP.
* Added overflow checking before converting to time_t.
* Using a correct localized error message in this case instead of the generic error.
* Added a test suite.
* fixed the checks so that they check for unsigned time_t as well. Used the checks
consistently across the source code.
* fixed the original test case to expect the new error code.
From a user perspective, the problem is that a FLUSH LOGS or SIGHUP
signal could end up associating the stdout and stderr to random
files. In the case of this bug report, the streams would end up
associated to InnoDB ibd files.
The freopen(3) function is not thread-safe on FreeBSD. What this
means is that if another thread calls open(2) during freopen()
is executing that another thread's fd returned by open(2) may get
re-associated with the file being passed to freopen(3). See FreeBSD
PR number 79887 for reference:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=79887
This problem is worked around by substituting a internal hook within
the FILE structure. This avoids the loss of atomicity by not having
the original fd closed before its duplicated.
Patch based on the original work by Vasil Dimov.
- Removed files specific to compiling on OS/2
- Removed files specific to SCO Unix packaging
- Removed "libmysqld/copyright", text is included in documentation
- Removed LaTeX headers for NDB Doxygen documentation
- Removed obsolete NDB files
- Removed "mkisofs" binaries
- Removed the "cvs2cl.pl" script
- Changed a few GPL texts to use "program" instead of "library"
When installing plugins, there is a missing check
for slash (/) in the path on Windows. Note that on
Windows, both / and \ can be used to separate
directories.
This patch fixes the issue by:
- Adding a FN_DIRSEP symbol for all platforms
consisting of a string of legal directory
separators.
- Adding a charset-aware version of strcspn().
- Adding a check_valid_path() function that uses
my_strcspn() to check if any FN_DIRSEP character
is in the supplied string.
- Using the check_valid_path() function in
sql_plugin.cc and sql_udf.cc (which means
replacing the existing test there).
The problem is that the logic which checks if a pointer is
valid relies on a poor heuristic based on the start and end
addresses of the data segment and heap.
Apart from miscalculating the heap bounds, this approach also
suffers from the fact that memory can come from places other
than the heap. See Bug#58528 for a more detailed explanation.
On Linux, the solution is to access the process's memory
through /proc/self/task/<tid>/mem, which allows for retrieving
the contents of pages within the virtual address space of
the calling process. If a address range is not mapped, a
input/output error is returned.
Use __builtin_stpcpy only if the system supports stpcpy.
This is necessary as in some cases a call to stpcpy will
be emitted if the built-in can not optimized.
Quoting from the bug report:
The pstack library has been included in MySQL since version
4.0.0. It's useless and should be removed.
Details: According to its own documentation, pstack only works
on Linux on x86 in 32 bit mode and requires LinuxThreads and a
statically linked binary. It doesn't really support any Linux
from 2003 or later and doesn't work on any other OS.
The --enable-pstack option is thus deprecated and has no effect.
Fix assorted warnings that are generated in optimized builds.
Most of it is silencing variables that are set but unused.
This patch also introduces the MY_ASSERT_UNREACHABLE macro
which helps the compiler to deduce that a certain piece of
code is unreachable.
For crash testing: kill the server without generating core file.
include/my_dbug.h
Use kill(getpid(), SIGKILL) which cannot be caught by signal handlers.
All DBUG_XXX macros should be no-ops in optimized mode, do that for DBUG_ABORT as well.
sql/handler.cc
Kill server without generating core.
sql/log.cc
Kill server without generating core.
