The crash was caused by this problem:
get_best_group_min_max() tries to construct query plans for keys that
are not processed by the range optimizer. This wasn't a problem as long
as SEL_TREE::keys was an array of MAX_KEY elements.
However, now it is a Mem_root_array and only has elements for the used
keys, and get_best_group_min_max attempts to address beyond the end of
the array.
The obvious way to fix the crash was to port (and improve) a part of
96fcfcbd7b5120e8f64fd45985001eca8d36fbfb from mysql-5.7. This makes
get_best_group_min_max not to consider indexes that Mem_root_arrays
have no element for.
After that, I got non-sensical query plans (see MDEV-10325 for details).
Fixed that by making get_best_group_min_max to check if the index is in
table->keys_in_use_for_group_by bitmap.
Item_cache::is_null() erroneously returned null_value in a
non-cached state. Now Item_cache::is_null() uses has_value(),
which caches the value if not cached yet, similar to what other value methods do
(e.g. val_int, val_real, etc).
The collation customization code for the UCA (Unicode Collation Alrorithm)
based collations now allows to reset to and shift of characters with
implicit weights. Previously reset/shift worked only for the characters
with explicit DUCET weights. An attempt to use reset/shift with
character with implicit weights made the server crash.
The patch fixes the problem with loading information from system tables
(e.g. event and help related tables) when PAD_CHAR_TO_FULL_LENGTH is enabled,
as well as includes some additional minor improvements:
- refactoring in get_field() to return an error rather than success
if strmake_root() failed
- removing of duplicate code in similar functions:
char *get_field(MEM_ROOT *mem, Field *field)
bool get_field(MEM_ROOT *mem, Field *field, String *res)
metadata_lock_info plugin called MDL_context::find_ticket() to obtain lock
duration, which in turn iterates foreign thread private lists. These lists
can be updated by owner thread without protection.
Fixed by iterating threads (instead of MDL locks and tickets) and obtaining
data through APC.
Also fixed mdl_iterate_lock() to initialize iterator under prlock protection.
The problem was that the loop in get_func_mm_tree()
accessed improperly initialized instances of String,
which resided in the bzero'ed part of the in_vector::base array.
Strings in in_vector::base are originally initialized
in Item_func_in::fix_length_and_dec(),
in in_vector::in_vector() using sql_calloc,
rather than using a String constructor, so their str_charset
members are originally equal to NULL.
Strings in in_vector::base are later initialized
to good values in Item_func_in::fix_length_and_dec(),
using array->set(), in this code:
uint j=0;
for (uint i=1 ; i < arg_count ; i++)
{
array->set(j,args[i]);
if (!args[i]->null_value) // Skip NULL values
j++;
else
have_null= 1;
}
if ((array->used_count= j))
array->sort();
NULLs are not taken into account, so at the end
array->used_count can be smaller than array->count.
This patch fixes the loop in opt_range.cc, in get_func_mm_tree(),
to access only properly initialized elements in in_vector::base,
preventing access to its bzero'ed non-initialized tail.

Problem was that table and index statistics is removed from
persistent tables but not from memory cache. Added functions
to remove table and index statistics from memory cache.
MYSQL-5.5
The bug asks for a backport of bug#1463594 and bug#20682959. This
is required because of the fact that if replication is enabled, master
transaction can commit whereas slave can't commit due to not exact
'enviroment'. This manifestation is seen in bug#22024200.
On Windows with low precision (10-16 ms) timer used for timing queries,
the statement "set @@long_query_time=0.01" can log itself a slow if it
spawn more single timer tick.
The fix is to filter this query out from "SELECT FROM mysql.slow_log"
results
Post-fix #2:
- Update test results
- Make the optimization conditional under @@optimizer_switch flag.
- The optimization is now disabled by default, so .result files
are changed back to be what they were before the MDEV-8989 patch.
NAME_CONST QUERY
ISSUE:
------
Using NAME_CONST with a non-constant negated expression as
value can result in incorrect behavior.
SOLUTION:
---------
The problem can be avoided by checking whether the argument
is a constant value.
The fix is a backport of Bug#12735545.
Variant #4 of the fix.
Make ORDER BY optimization functions take into account multiple
equalities. This is done in several places:
- remove_const() checks whether we can sort the first table in the
join, or we need to put rows into temp.table and then sort.
- test_if_order_by_key() checks whether there are indexes that
can be used to produce the required ordering
- make_unireg_sortorder() constructs sort criteria for filesort.
THAT ACTUALLY EXISTS
ANALYSIS:
=========
Stored functions updating a view where the view table has a
trigger defined that updates another table, fails reporting
an error that the table doesn't exist.
If there is a trigger defined on a table, a variable
'trg_event_map' will be set to a non-zero value after the
parsed tree creation. This indicates what triggers we need to
pre-load for the TABLE_LIST when opening an associated table.
During the prelocking phase, the variable 'trg_event_map'
will not be set for the view table. This value will be set
after the processing of triggers defined on the table. During
the processing of sub-statements, 'locked_tables_mode' will be
set to 'LTM_PRELOCKED' which denotes that further locking
of tables/functions cannot be done. This results in the other
table not being locked and thus further processing results in
an error getting reported.
FIX:
====
During the prelocking of view, the value of 'trg_event_map'
of the view is copied to 'trg_event_map' of the next table
in the TABLE_LIST. This results in the locking of tables
associated with the trigger as well.
When simplify_joins() converts an outer join to an inner, it should
reset the value of TABLE::dep_tables. This is needed, because the
function may have already set TABLE::dep_tables according to the outer
join dependency.
