If a join query uses a derived table (view / CTE) with GROUP BY clause then
the execution plan for such join may employ split optimization. When this
optimization is employed the derived table is not materialized. Rather only
some partitions of the derived table are subject to grouping. Split
optimization can be applied only if:
- there are some indexes over the tables used in the join specifying the
derived table whose prefixes partially cover the field items used in the
GROUP BY list (such indexes are called splitting indexes)
- the WHERE condition of the join query contains conjunctive equalities
between columns of the derived table that comprise major parts of
splitting indexes and columns of the other join tables.
When the optimizer evaluates extending of a partial join by the rows of the
derived table it always considers a possibility of using split optimization.
Different splitting indexes can be used depending on the extended partial
join. At some rare conditions, for example, when there is a non-splitting
covering index for a table joined in the join specifying the derived table
usage of a splitting index to produce rows needed for grouping may be still
less beneficial than usage of such covering index without any splitting
technique. The function JOIN_TAB::choose_best_splitting() must take this
into account.

The easiest way to compile and test the server with UBSAN is to run:
./BUILD/compile-pentium64-ubsan
and then run mysql-test-run.
After this commit, one should be able to run this without any UBSAN
warnings. There is still a few compiler warnings that should be fixed
at some point, but these do not expose any real bugs.
The 'special' cases where we disable, suppress or circumvent UBSAN are:
- ref10 source (as here we intentionally do some shifts that UBSAN
complains about.
- x86 version of optimized int#korr() methods. UBSAN do not like unaligned
memory access of integers. Fixed by using byte_order_generic.h when
compiling with UBSAN
- We use smaller thread stack with ASAN and UBSAN, which forced me to
disable a few tests that prints the thread stack size.
- Verifying class types does not work for shared libraries. I added
suppression in mysql-test-run.pl for this case.
- Added '#ifdef WITH_UBSAN' when using integer arithmetic where it is
safe to have overflows (two cases, in item_func.cc).
Things fixed:
- Don't left shift signed values
(byte_order_generic.h, mysqltest.c, item_sum.cc and many more)
- Don't assign not non existing values to enum variables.
- Ensure that bool and enum values are properly initialized in
constructors. This was needed as UBSAN checks that these types has
correct values when one copies an object.
(gcalc_tools.h, ha_partition.cc, item_sum.cc, partition_element.h ...)
- Ensure we do not called handler functions on unallocated objects or
deleted objects.
(events.cc, sql_acl.cc).
- Fixed bugs in Item_sp::Item_sp() where we did not call constructor
on Query_arena object.
- Fixed several cast of objects to an incompatible class!
(Item.cc, Item_buff.cc, item_timefunc.cc, opt_subselect.cc, sql_acl.cc,
sql_select.cc ...)
- Ensure we do not do integer arithmetic that causes over or underflows.
This includes also ++ and -- of integers.
(Item_func.cc, Item_strfunc.cc, item_timefunc.cc, sql_base.cc ...)
- Added JSON_VALUE_UNITIALIZED to json_value_types and ensure that
value_type is initialized to this instead of to -1, which is not a valid
enum value for json_value_types.
- Ensure we do not call memcpy() when second argument could be null.
- Fixed that Item_func_str::make_empty_result() creates an empty string
instead of a null string (safer as it ensures we do not do arithmetic
on null strings).
Other things:
- Changed struct st_position to an OBJECT and added an initialization
function to it to ensure that we do not copy or use uninitialized
members. The change to a class was also motived that we used "struct
st_position" and POSITION randomly trough the code which was
confusing.
- Notably big rewrite in sql_acl.cc to avoid using deleted objects.
- Changed in sql_partition to use '^' instead of '-'. This is safe as
the operator is either 0 or 0x8000000000000000ULL.
- Added check for select_nr < INT_MAX in JOIN::build_explain() to
avoid bug when get_select() could return NULL.
- Reordered elements in POSITION for better alignment.
- Changed sql_test.cc::print_plan() to use pointers instead of objects.
- Fixed bug in find_set() where could could execute '1 << -1'.
- Added variable have_sanitizer, used by mtr. (This variable was before
only in 10.5 and up). It can now have one of two values:
ASAN or UBSAN.
- Moved ~Archive_share() from ha_archive.cc to ha_archive.h and marked
it virtual. This was an effort to get UBSAN to work with loaded storage
engines. I kept the change as the new place is better.
- Added in CONNECT engine COLBLK::SetName(), to get around a wrong cast
in tabutil.cpp.
- Added HAVE_REPLICATION around usage of rgi_slave, to get embedded
server to compile with UBSAN. (Patch from Marko).
- Added #ifdef for powerpc64 to avoid a bug in old gcc versions related
to integer arithmetic.
Changes that should not be needed but had to be done to suppress warnings
from UBSAN:
- Added static_cast<<uint16_t>> around shift to get rid of a LOT of
compiler warnings when using UBSAN.
- Had to change some '/' of 2 base integers to shift to get rid of
some compile time warnings.

The code compares two query plans with identical costs, the plan
with lateral is the same as one without. Introduce a small difference
to cost numbers to prefer non-lateral plan in this case.
splittable derived
If one of joined tables of the processed query is a materialized derived
table (or view or CTE) with GROUP BY clause then under some conditions it
can be subject to split optimization. With this optimization new equalities
are injected into the WHERE condition of the SELECT that specifies this
derived table. The injected equalities are generated for all join orders
with which the split optimization can employed. After the best join order
has been chosen only certain of this equalities are really needed. The
others can be safely removed. If it's not done and some of injected
equalities involve expressions over semi-joins with look-up access then
the query may return a wrong result set.
This patch effectively removes equalities injected for split optimization
that are needed only at the optimization stage and not needed for execution.

This bug could cause a crash for any query that used a derived table/view/CTE
whose specification was a SELECT with a GROUP BY clause and a FROM list
containing 32 or more table references.
The problem appeared only in the cases when the splitting optimization
could be applied to such derived table/view/CTE.
Do not materialize a semi-join nest if it contains a materialized derived
table /view that potentially can be subject to the split optimization.
Splitting of materialization of such nest would help, but currently there
is no code to support this technique.
If a splittable materialized derived table / view T is used in a inner nest
of an outer join with impossible ON condition then T is marked as a
constant table. Yet the execution plan to build T is still searched for
in spite of the fact that is not needed. So it should be set.
The function JOIN_TAB::choose_best_splitting() did not take into account
that for some tables whose fields were used in the GROUP BY list of
the specification of a splittable materialized derived there might exist
no elements in the array ext_keyuses_for_splitting.
The optimizer erroneously allowed to use join cache when joining a
splittable materialized table together with splitting optimization.
As a consequence in some rare cases the server returned wrong result
sets for queries with materialized derived.
This patch allows to use either join cache without usage of splitting
technique for materialization of a splittable derived table or splitting
without usage of join cache when joining such table. The costs the these
alternatives are compared and the best variant is chosen.
The bug was in the in the code of JOIN::check_for_splittable_materialized()
where the structures describing the fields of a materialized derived
table that potentially could be used in split optimization were build.
As a result of this bug some fields that were not usable for splitting
were detected as usable. This could trigger crashes further in
st_join_table::choose_best_splitting().
t1.pk IS NOT NULL where pk is a PRIMARY KEY
For equalites in the WHERE clause we create a keyuse array that contains the set of all equalities.
For each KEYUSE inside the keyuse array we have a field "null_rejecting"
which tells that the equality will not hold if either the left or right
hand side of the equality is NULL.
If the equality is NULL rejecting then we accordingly add a NOT NULL condition for the field present in
the item val(present in the KEYUSE struct) when we are doing ref access.
For the optimization of splitting with GROUP BY we always set the null_rejecting to TRUE and we are doing ref access on
the GROUP by field. This does create a problem when the equality is NOT NULL rejecting. This happens in this case as
in the equality we have the right hand side as t1.pk where pk is a PRIMARY KEY , hence it is NOT NULLABLE. So we should have
null rejecting set to FALSE for such a case.
The crash happened because JOIN::check_for_splittable_materialized()
called by mistake the function JOIN_TAB::is_inner_table_of_outer_join()
instead of the function TABLE_LIST::is_inner_table_of_outer_join().
The former cannot be called before the call of make_outerjoin_info().
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.
in JOIN::inject_best_splitting_cond
The value of SplM_opt_info::last_plan should be set to NULL
before any search for a splitting plan for a splittable
materialized table.
Do not try to apply the splitting optimization to a materialized
derived if it's specified by a select with impossible where
or if all joined tables of this select are constant.
