In commit 232d7a5e2d we almost got
the detection logic right. However, the XGETBV instruction would
crash if Linux was started up with the option noxsave.
have_vpclmulqdq(): Check for the XSAVE flag at the correct position
and also for the AVX flag.
This was tested on Ubuntu 22.04 by starting up its Linux 5.15 kernel
with and without the noxsave option.
It is not sufficient to check that the CPU supports the necessary
instructions. Also the operating system (or virtual machine hypervisor)
must enable all the AVX registers to be saved and restored on a
context switch.
Because clang 8 does not support the compiler intrinsic _xgetbv()
we will require clang 9 or later for enabling the use of VPCLMULQDQ
and the related AVX512 features.
Line numbers had to be removed from the ignorelists in order to be
diffed against since locations of the same findings can differ
across runs. Therefore preprocessing has to be done on the CI findings
so that it can be compared to the ignorelist and new findings can be
outputted. However, since line numbers have to be removed, a situation
occurs where it is difficult to reference the location of findings
in code given the output of the CI job.
To lessen this pain, change the cppcheck template to include
code snippets which make it easier to reference where in the code
the finding is referring to, even in the absence of line numbers.
Ignorelisting works as before since locations of the finding may
change but not the code it is referring to.
Furthermore, due to the innate difficulty in maintaining ignorelists
across branches and triaging new findings, allow failure as to not
have constantly failing pipelines as a result of a new findings that
have not been addressed yet.
Lastly, update SAST ignorelists to match the newly refactored cppcheck
job and the current state of the codebase.

MariaDB supports a "wait-free concurrent allocator based on pinning addresses".
In `lf_pinbox_real_free()` it tries to sort the pinned addresses for better
performance to use binary search during "real free". `alloca()` was used to
allocate stack memory and copy addresses.
To prevent a stack overflow when allocating the stack memory the function checks
if there's enough stack space. However, the available stack size was calculated
inaccurately which eventually caused database crash due to stack overflow.
The crash was seen on MariaDB 10.6.11 but the same code defect exists on all
MariaDB versions.
A similar issue happened previously and the fix in fc2c1e43 was to add a
`ALLOCA_SAFETY_MARGIN` which is 8192 bytes. However, that safety margin is not
enough during high connection workloads.
MySQL also had a similar issue and the fix
https://github.com/mysql/mysql-server/commit/b086fda was to remove the use of
`alloca` and replace qsort approach by a linear scan through all pointers (pins)
owned by each thread.
This commit is mostly the same as it is the only way to solve this issue as:
1. Frame sizes in different architecture can be different.
2. Number of active (non-null) pinned addresses varies, so the frame
size for the recursive sorting function `msort_with_tmp` is also hard
to predict.
3. Allocating big memory blocks in stack doesn't seem to be a very good
practice.
For further details see the mentioned commit in MySQL and the inline comments.

We have an issue if a user have the following in a configuration file:
log_slow_filter="" # Log everything to slow query log
log_queries_not_using_indexes=ON
This set log_slow_filter to 'not_using_index' which disables
slow_query_logging of most queries.
In effect, on should never use log_slow_filter="" in config files but
instead use log_slow_filter=ALL.
Fixed by changing log_slow_filter="" that comes either from a
configuration file or from the command line, when starting to the server,
to log_slow_filter=ALL.
A warning will be printed when this happens.
Other things:
- One can now use =ALL for any 'set' variable to set all options at once.

Apart from better performance when accessing thread local variables,
we'll get rid of things that depend on initialization/cleanup of
pthread_key_t variables.
Where appropriate, use compiler-dependent pre-C++11 thread-local
equivalents, where it makes sense, to avoid initialization check overhead
that non-static thread_local can suffer from.
In cmake -DWITH_UBSAN=ON builds with clang but not with GCC,
-fsanitize=undefined will flag several runtime errors on
function pointer mismatch related to the lock-free hash table LF_HASH.
Let us use matching function signatures and remove function pointer
casts in order to avoid potential bugs due to undefined behaviour.
These errors could be caught at compilation time by
-Wcast-function-type-strict, which is available starting with clang-16,
but not available in any version of GCC as of now. The old GCC flag
-Wcast-function-type is enabled as part of -Wextra, but it specifically
does not catch these errors.

In commit 9ec7819c58 the CRC-32 function
signatures had been unified somewhat, but not enough.
clang -fsanitize=undefined would flag a function pointer signature
mismatch between const char* and const void*, but not between
uint32_t and unsigned. We try to fix both inconsistencies anyway.
