Essentially, the problem is that safemalloc is excruciatingly
slow as it checks all allocated blocks for overrun at each
memory management primitive, yielding a almost exponential
slowdown for the memory management functions (malloc, realloc,
free). The overrun check basically consists of verifying some
bytes of a block for certain magic keys, which catches some
simple forms of overrun. Another minor problem is violation
of aliasing rules and that its own internal list of blocks
is prone to corruption.
Another issue with safemalloc is rather the maintenance cost
as the tool has a significant impact on the server code.
Given the magnitude of memory debuggers available nowadays,
especially those that are provided with the platform malloc
implementation, maintenance of a in-house and largely obsolete
memory debugger becomes a burden that is not worth the effort
due to its slowness and lack of support for detecting more
common forms of heap corruption.
Since there are third-party tools that can provide the same
functionality at a lower or comparable performance cost, the
solution is to simply remove safemalloc. Third-party tools
can provide the same functionality at a lower or comparable
performance cost.
The removal of safemalloc also allows a simplification of the
malloc wrappers, removing quite a bit of kludge: redefinition
of my_malloc, my_free and the removal of the unused second
argument of my_free. Since free() always check whether the
supplied pointer is null, redudant checks are also removed.
Also, this patch adds unit testing for my_malloc and moves
my_realloc implementation into the same file as the other
memory allocation primitives.
strict aliasing violations.
One somewhat major source of strict-aliasing violations and
related warnings is the SQL_LIST structure. For example,
consider its member function `link_in_list` which takes
a pointer to pointer of type T (any type) as a pointer to
pointer to unsigned char. Dereferencing this pointer, which
is done to reset the next field, violates strict-aliasing
rules and might cause problems for surrounding code that
uses the next field of the object being added to the list.
The solution is to use templates to parametrize the SQL_LIST
structure in order to deference the pointers with compatible
types. As a side bonus, it becomes possible to remove quite
a few casts related to acessing data members of SQL_LIST.

to cleanup open connections
It was possible to UNINSTALL storage engine plugin when binding
between THD object and storage engine is still active (e.g. in
the middle of transaction).
To avoid unclean deactivation (uninstall) of storage engine plugin
in the middle of transaction, additional storage engine plugin
lock is acquired by thd_set_ha_data().
If ha_data is not null and storage engine plugin was not locked
by thd_set_ha_data() in this connection before, storage engine
plugin gets locked.
If ha_data is null and storage engine plugin was locked by
thd_set_ha_data() in this connection before, storage engine
plugin lock gets released.
If handlerton::close_connection() didn't reset ha_data, server does
it immediately after calling handlerton::close_connection().
Note that this is just a framework fix, storage engines must switch
to thd_set_ha_data() from thd_ha_data() if they want to see fit.
This patch:
- Moves all definitions from the mysql_priv.h file into
header files for the component where the variable is
defined
- Creates header files if the component lacks one
- Eliminates all include directives from mysql_priv.h
- Eliminates all circular include cycles
- Rename time.cc to sql_time.cc
- Rename mysql_priv.h to sql_priv.h
into partitioned MyISAM table
Problem was that the ha_data structure was introduced in 5.1
and only used for partitioning first, but with the intention
of be of use for others engines as well, and when used by other
engines it would clash if it also was partitioned.
Solution is to move the partitioning specific data to a separate
structure, with its own mutex (which is used for auto_increment).
Also did rename PARTITION_INFO to PARTITION_STATS since there
already exist a class named partition_info, also cleaned up
some related variables.
The task is to
(a) add a comment on indexes and
(b) increase the maximum length of column, table and the new index comments.
The patch committed on behalf of Yoshinori Matsunobu (Yoshinori.Matsunobu@Sun.COM).

WL#4284: Transactional DDL locking
Make transaction management more modular through a new interface.
The overall objective of this change is to provide groundwork
for the design of transactional DDL locking by cleaning up the
transaction high level API to better distinguish operations implicit
and explicit, and single statement transaction from operations on
the normal transaction.
Having a a high-level interface for transaction management provides
a better base for implementing transactional concepts that are not
always tied to storage engines and also makes it easier to interect
with other higher level modules of the server.
Introduce a flag that will enable the REPLACE
command to work correctly with an underlying
storage engine that does not report unique key
conflicts in the ascending order.

Get rid of typedef struct for the most commonly used types:

removed if server_id changes
When MySQL crashes (or a snapshot is taken which simulates
a crash), then it is possible that internal XA
transactions (used to sync the binary log and InnoDB)
can be left in a PREPARED state, whereas they should be
rolled back. This is done when the server_id changes
before the restart occurs.
This patch releases he restriction that the server_id
should be consistent if the XID is to be considerred
valid. The rollback phase should then be able to
clean up all pending XA transactions.
When a storage engine failed to initialize before allocated slot number,
the slot number would be 0, and when later finalizing this plugin, it would
accidentally unplug the storage engine currently uses slot 0.
This patch fixed this problem by add a new macro value HA_SLOT_UNDEF to
distinguish undefined slot number from slot 0.
Despite copying the value of the old table's row type
we don't always have to mark row type as being specified.
Innodb uses this to check if it can do fast ALTER TABLE
or not.
Fixed by correctly flagging the presence of row_type
only when it's actually changed.
Added a test case for 39200.
"CREATE TABLE TRANSACTIONAL PAGE_CHECKSUM ROW_FORMAT=PAGE accepted,
does nothing".
Put back stubs for members of structures that are shared between
sql/ and pluggable storage engines. to not break ABI unnecessarily.
To be NULL-merged into 5.4, where we do break the ABI already.
those keywords do nothing in 5.1 (they are meant for future versions, for example featuring the Maria engine)
so they are here removed from the syntax. Adding those keywords to future versions when needed is:
- WL#5034 "Add TRANSACTIONA=0|1 and PAGE_CHECKSUM=0|1 clauses to CREATE TABLE"
- WL#5037 "New ROW_FORMAT value for CREATE TABLE: PAGE"
A backport of fix for "BUG40092 - Storage engine API uses
time_t datatype".
Starting from MSVC C++ 2005 (v8), the default size of time_t
is changed from 32-bit to 64-bit. As the result, the binaries
built with pre-v8 MSVC C++ do not work with the binaries
(storage engine plugins) built with v8 or after (server
crashes).
Fixed storage engine API to use datatype with known size
(ulong) instead of time_t.
