WITH MYISAM_USE_MMAP ENABLED
MySQL server can crash due to segmentation fault when
started with myisam_use_mmap.
The reason behind this being, while making a request to
unmap (munmap) the previously mapped memory (mmap), the
size passed was 7 bytes larger than the size requested at
the time of mapping. This can eventually unmap the adjacent
memory mapped block, belonging to some other memory-map pool.
Hence the subsequent call to mmap can map a region which was
still a valid memory mapped area.
Fixed by removing the extra 7-byte margin which was erroneously
added to the size, used for unmappping.

When OPTIMIZE/REPAIR TABLE is switching to new data file,
old data file is removed while memory mapping is still
active.
With 5.1 implementation of nt_share_delete() it is not
permitted to remove mmaped file.
This fix disables memory mapping for mi_repair() operations.
FULLTEXT INDEXES
myisamchk may create incorrect fulltext index for compressed
tables. Incorrect data pointer size was used while creating
fulltext index.
Problem: in case of wrong data insert into indexed GEOMETRY fields
(e.g. NULL value for a not NULL field) MyISAM reported
"ERROR 126 (HY000): Incorrect key file for table; try to repair it"
due to misuse of the key deletion function.
Fix: always use R-tree key functions for R-tree based indexes
and B-tree key functions for B-tree based indexes.
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 5.5 and later, and is the third of a
set of patches to remove LGPL from all trees.

When executing row-ordered-retrieval index merge,
the handler was cloned, but it used the wrong
memory root, so instead of allocating memory
on the thread/query's mem_root, it used the table's
mem_root, resulting in non released memory in the
table object, and was not freed until the table was
closed.
Solution was to ensure that memory used during cloning
of a handler was allocated from the correct memory root.
This was implemented by fixing handler::clone() to also
take a name argument, so it can be used with partitioning.
And in ha_partition only allocate the ha_partition's ref, and
call the original ha_partition partitions clone() and set at cloned
partitions.

MAP 'REPAIR TABLE' TO RECREATE +ANALYZE FOR ENGINES NOT
SUPPORTING NATIVE REPAIR
Executing 'mysqlcheck --check-upgrade --auto-repair ...' will first issue
'CHECK TABLE FOR UPGRADE' for all tables in the database in order to check if the
tables are compatible with the current version of MySQL. Any tables that are
found incompatible are then upgraded using 'REPAIR TABLE'.
The problem was that some engines (e.g. InnoDB) do not support 'REPAIR TABLE'.
This caused any such tables to be left incompatible. As a result such tables were
not properly fixed by the mysql_upgrade tool.
This patch fixes the problem by first changing 'CHECK TABLE FOR UPGRADE' to return
a different error message if the engine does not support REPAIR. Instead of
"Table upgrade required. Please do "REPAIR TABLE ..." it will report
"Table rebuild required. Please do "ALTER TABLE ... FORCE ..."
Second, the patch changes mysqlcheck to do 'ALTER TABLE ... FORCE' instead of
'REPAIR TABLE' in these cases.
This patch also fixes 'ALTER TABLE ... FORCE' to actually rebuild the table.
This change should be reflected in the documentation. Before this patch,
'ALTER TABLE ... FORCE' was unused (See Bug#11746162)
Test case added to mysqlcheck.test
attempt to create spatial index on char > 31 bytes".
Attempt to create spatial index on char field with length
greater than 31 byte led to assertion failure on server
compiled with safemutex support.
The problem occurred in mi_create() function which was called
to create a new version of table being altered. This function
failed since it detected an attempt to create a spatial key
on non-binary column and tried to return an error.
On its error path it tried to unlock THR_LOCK_myisam mutex
which has not been not locked at this point. Indeed such an
incorrect behavior was caught by safemutex wrapper and caused
assertion failure.
This patch fixes the problem by ensuring that mi_create()
doesn't releases THR_LOCK_myisam mutex on error path if it was
not acquired.
"set optimizer_switch to e or d causes invalid memory writes/valgrind warnings":
due to prefix support, the argument "e" was overwritten with its full value
"engine_condition_pushdown", which caused a buffer overrun.
This was wrong usage of find_type(); other wrong usages are fixed here too.
Please start reading with the comment of typelib.c.
and 'THREAD_SAFE_CLIENT'.
As of MySQL 5.5, we no longer support non-threaded
builds. This patch removes all references to the
obsolete THREAD and THREAD_SAFE_CLIENT preprocessor
symbols. These were used to distinguish between
threaded and non-threaded builds.
DROP/CREATE SCHEMA, CREATE TABLE, REPAIR.
The cause of assert was concurrent execution of
DROP DATABASE and REPAIR TABLE where first statement
deleted table's file .TMD at the same time as
REPAIR TABLE tried to read file details from the old file
that was just removed.
Additionally was fixed trouble when DROP TABLE try delete
all files belong to table being dropped at the same time
when REPAIR TABLE statement has just deleted .TMD file.
No regression test added because this would require adding a
sync point to mysys/my_redel.c. Since this bug is not present in
5.5+, adding test coverage was considered unnecessary.
The patch has been verified using RQG testing.
The autotools-based build system has been superseded and
is being removed in order to ease the maintenance burden on
developers tweaking and maintaining the build system.
In order to support tools that need to extract the server
version, a new file that (only) contains the server version,
called VERSION, is introduced. The file contents are human
and machine-readable. The format is:
MYSQL_VERSION_MAJOR=5
MYSQL_VERSION_MINOR=5
MYSQL_VERSION_PATCH=8
MYSQL_VERSION_EXTRA=-rc
The CMake based version extraction in cmake/mysql_version.cmake
is changed to extract the version from this file. The configure
to CMake wrapper is retained for backwards compatibility and to
support the BUILD/ scripts. Also, a new a makefile target
show-dist-name that prints the server version is introduced.
Problem: Extended characters outside of ASCII range where not displayed
properly in SHOW PROCESSLIST, because thd_info->query was always sent as
system_character_set (utf8). This was wrong, because query buffer
is never converted to utf8 - it is always have client character set.
Fix: sending query buffer using query character set

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.
Bug#54678: InnoDB, TRUNCATE, ALTER, I_S SELECT, crash or deadlock
- Incompatible change: truncate no longer resorts to a row by
row delete if the storage engine does not support the truncate
method. Consequently, the count of affected rows does not, in
any case, reflect the actual number of rows.
- Incompatible change: it is no longer possible to truncate a
table that participates as a parent in a foreign key constraint,
unless it is a self-referencing constraint (both parent and child
are in the same table). To work around this incompatible change
and still be able to truncate such tables, disable foreign checks
with SET foreign_key_checks=0 before truncate. Alternatively, if
foreign key checks are necessary, please use a DELETE statement
without a WHERE condition.
Problem description:
The problem was that for storage engines that do not support
truncate table via a external drop and recreate, such as InnoDB
which implements truncate via a internal drop and recreate, the
delete_all_rows method could be invoked with a shared metadata
lock, causing problems if the engine needed exclusive access
to some internal metadata. This problem originated with the
fact that there is no truncate specific handler method, which
ended up leading to a abuse of the delete_all_rows method that
is primarily used for delete operations without a condition.
Solution:
The solution is to introduce a truncate handler method that is
invoked when the engine does not support truncation via a table
drop and recreate. This method is invoked under a exclusive
metadata lock, so that there is only a single instance of the
table when the method is invoked.
Also, the method is not invoked and a error is thrown if
the table is a parent in a non-self-referencing foreign key
relationship. This was necessary to avoid inconsistency as
some integrity checks are bypassed. This is inline with the
fact that truncate is primarily a DDL operation that was
designed to quickly remove all data from a table.
Use UNINIT_VAR workaround instead of LINT_INIT. The former can
also be used to silence false-positives in non-debug builds as
it actually does not cause new code to be generated.
Problem: trailing spaces were stripped using 8-bit code,
so the truncation result length was incorrect, which led
to an assertion failure.
Fix: using multi-byte safe code.
