Fix warnings flagged by the new warning option -Wunused-but-set-variable
that was added to GCC 4.6 and that is enabled by -Wunused and -Wall. The
option causes a warning whenever a local variable is assigned to but is
later unused. It also warns about meaningless pointer dereferences.
Apart strict-aliasing warnings, fix the remaining warnings
generated by GCC 4.4.4 -Wall and -Wextra flags.
One major source of warnings was the in-house function my_bcmp
which (unconventionally) took pointers to unsigned characters
as the byte sequences to be compared. Since my_bcmp and bcmp
are deprecated functions whose only difference with memcmp is
the return value, every use of the function is replaced with
memcmp as the special return value wasn't actually being used
by any caller.
There were also various other warnings, mostly due to type
mismatches, missing return values, missing prototypes, dead
code (unreachable) and ignored return values.
without FOR UPDATE is causing a lock".
SELECT statements with subqueries referencing InnoDB tables
were acquiring shared locks on rows in these tables when they
were executed in REPEATABLE-READ mode and with statement or
mixed mode binary logging turned on.
This was a regression which were introduced when fixing
bug 39843.
The problem was that for tables belonging to subqueries
parser set TL_READ_DEFAULT as a lock type. In cases when
statement/mixed binary logging at open_tables() time this
type of lock was converted to TL_READ_NO_INSERT lock at
open_tables() time and caused InnoDB engine to acquire
shared locks on reads from these tables. Although in some
cases such behavior was correct (e.g. for subqueries in
DELETE) in case of SELECT it has caused unnecessary locking.
This patch implements minimal version of the fix for the
specific problem described in the bug-report which supposed
to be not too risky for pushing into 5.1 tree.
The 5.5 tree already contains a more appropriate solution
which also addresses other related issues like bug 53921
"Wrong locks for SELECTs used stored functions may lead
to broken SBR".
This patch tries to solve the problem by ensuring that
TL_READ_DEFAULT lock which is set in the parser for
tables participating in subqueries at open_tables()
time is interpreted as TL_READ_NO_INSERT or TL_READ.
TL_READ is used only if we know that this is a SELECT
and that this particular table is not used by a stored
function.
Test coverage is added for both InnoDB and MyISAM.
This patch introduces an "incompatible" change in locking
scheme for subqueries used in SELECT ... FOR UPDATE and
SELECT .. IN SHARE MODE.
In 4.1 (as well as in 5.0 and 5.1 before fix for bug 39843)
the server would use a snapshot InnoDB read for subqueries
in SELECT FOR UPDATE and SELECT .. IN SHARE MODE statements,
regardless of whether the binary log is on or off.
If the user required a different type of read (i.e. locking
read), he/she could request so explicitly by providing FOR
UPDATE/IN SHARE MODE clause for each individual subquery.
The patch for bug 39843 broke this behaviour (which was not
documented or tested), and started to use locking reads for
all subqueries in SELECT ... FOR UPDATE/IN SHARE MODE.
This patch restores 4.1 behaviour.
This patch should be mostly null-merged into 5.5 tree.
mode
Post-push fix after backporting the patch to 5.1-bugteam:
1 - changed the name of some variables to be equivalent to pe.
2 - fixed that patch to mark a statement as unsafe when both a
self-logging eng. and regular eng. are accessed and one of them
is updated.
concurrent I_S query
There were two problem:
1) MYSQL_LOCK_IGNORE_FLUSH also ignored name locks
2) there was a race between abort_and_upgrade_locks and
alter_close_tables
(i.e. remove_table_from_cache and
close_data_files_and_morph_locks)
Which allowed the table to be opened with MYSQL_LOCK_IGNORE_FLUSH flag
resulting in renaming a partition that was already in use,
which could cause the table to be unusable.
Solution was to not allow IGNORE_FLUSH to skip waiting for
a named locked table.
And to not release the LOCK_open mutex between the
calls to remove_table_from_cache and
close_data_files_and_morph_locks by merging the functions
abort_and_upgrade_locks and alter_close_tables.
+ failing statements
Implicit DROP event for temporary table is not getting
LOG_EVENT_THREAD_SPECIFIC_F flag, because, in the previous
executed statement in the same thread, which might even be a
failed statement, the thread_specific_used flag is set to
FALSE (in mysql_reset_thd_for_next_command) and not set to TRUE
before connection is shutdown. This means that implicit DROP
event will take the FALSE value from thread_specific_used and
will not set LOG_EVENT_THREAD_SPECIFIC_F in the event header. As
a consequence, mysqlbinlog will not print the pseudo_thread_id
from the DROP event, because one of the requirements for the
printout is that this flag is set to TRUE.
We fix this by setting thread_specific_used whenever we are
binlogging a DROP in close_temporary_tables, and resetting it to
its previous value afterward.
There was two problems:
The first was the symptom, caused by bad error handling in
ha_partition. It did not handle print_error etc. when
having no partitions (when used by dummy handler).
The second was the real problem that when dropping tables
it reused the table type (storage engine) from when the lock
was asked for, not the table type that it had when gaining
the exclusive name lock. So that it tried to delete tables
from wrong storage engines.
Solutions for the first problem was to accept some handler
calls to the partitioning handler even if it was not setup
with any partitions, and also if possible fallback
to use the base handler's default functions.
Solution for the second problem was to remove the optimization
to reuse the definition from the cache, instead always check
the frm-file when holding the LOCK_open mutex
(updated with a fix for a debug print crash and better
comments as required by reviewer, and removed optimization
to avoid reading the frm-file).
The problem was that a failure to open a view wasn't being
properly handled. When opening a view with unknown definer,
the open procedure would be treated as successful and would
later crash when attempting to lock the view (which wasn't
opened to begin with).
The solution is to skip further processing when opening a
table if it fails with a fatal error.
Actually there is two different bugs.
The first one caused crash on queries with WHERE condition over views
containing WHERE condition. A wrong check for prepared statement phase led
to items for view fields being allocated in the execution memory and freed
at the end of execution. Thus the optimized WHERE condition refers to
unallocated memory on the second execution and server crashed.
The second one caused by the Item_cond::compile function not saving changes
it made to the item tree. Thus on the next execution changes weren't
reverted and server crashed on dereferencing of unallocated space.
The new helper function called is_stmt_prepare_or_first_stmt_execute
is added to the Query_arena class.
The find_field_in_view function now uses
is_stmt_prepare_or_first_stmt_execute() to check whether
newly created view items should be freed at the end of the query execution.
The Item_cond::compile function now saves changes it makes to item tree.
When a sessione is closed, all temporary tables of the session are automatically
dropped and are binlogged. But it will be binlogged with wrong database names when
the length of the temporary tables' database names are greater than the
length of the current database name or the current database is not set.
Query_log_event's db_len is forgot to set when Query_log_event's db is set.
This patch wrote code to set db_len immediately after db has set.
buffering is used
FORCE INDEX FOR ORDER BY now prevents the optimizer from
using join buffering. As a result the optimizer can use
indexed access on the first table and doesn't need to
sort the complete resultset at the end of the statement.
The problem is that there is only one autoinc value associated with
the query when binlogging. If more than one autoinc values are used
in the query, the autoinc values after the first one can be inserted
wrongly on slave. So these autoinc values can become inconsistent on
master and slave.
The problem is resolved by marking all the statements that invoke
a trigger or call a function that updated autoinc fields as unsafe,
and will switch to row-format in Mixed mode. Actually, the statement
is safe if just one autoinc value is used in sub-statement, but it's
impossible to check how many autoinc values are used in sub-statement.)
Backport from 6.0 to 5.1.
Only those sync points are included, which are used in debug_sync.test.
The Debug Sync Facility allows to place synchronization points
in the code:
open_tables(...)
DEBUG_SYNC(thd, "after_open_tables");
lock_tables(...)
When activated, a sync point can
- Send a signal and/or
- Wait for a signal
Nomenclature:
- signal: A value of a global variable that persists
until overwritten by a new signal. The global
variable can also be seen as a "signal post"
or "flag mast". Then the signal is what is
attached to the "signal post" or "flag mast".
- send a signal: Assign the value (the signal) to the global
variable ("set a flag") and broadcast a
global condition to wake those waiting for
a signal.
- wait for a signal: Loop over waiting for the global condition until
the global value matches the wait-for signal.

binlog-db-db / binlog-ignore-db
InnoDB will return an error if statement based replication is used
along with transaction isolation level READ-COMMITTED (or weaker),
even if the statement in question is filtered out according to the
binlog-do-db rules set. In this case, an error should not be printed.
This patch addresses this issue by extending the existing check in
external_lock to take into account the filter rules before deciding to
print an error. Furthermore, it also changes decide_logging_format to
take into consideration whether the statement is filtered out from
binlog before decision is made.
with gcc 4.3.2
This patch fixes a number of GCC warnings about variables used
before initialized. A new macro UNINIT_VAR() is introduced for
use in the variable declaration, and LINT_INIT() usage will be
gradually deprecated. (A workaround is used for g++, pending a
patch for a g++ bug.)
GCC warnings for unused results (attribute warn_unused_result)
for a number of system calls (present at least in later
Ubuntus, where the usual void cast trick doesn't work) are
also fixed.
When a connection is dropped any remaining temporary table is also automatically
dropped and the SQL statement of this operation is written to the binary log in
order to drop such tables on the slave and keep the slave in sync. Specifically,
the current code base creates the following type of statement:
DROP /*!40005 TEMPORARY */ TABLE IF EXISTS `db`.`table`;
Unfortunately, appending the database to the table name in this manner circumvents
the replicate-rewrite-db option (and any options that check the current database).
To solve the issue, we started writing the statement to the binary as follows:
use `db`; DROP /*!40005 TEMPORARY */ TABLE IF EXISTS `table`;
The TABLE::reginfo.impossible_range is used by the optimizer to indicate
that the condition applied to the table is impossible. It wasn't initialized
at table opening and this might lead to an empty result on complex queries:
a query might set the impossible_range flag on a table and when the query finishes,
all tables are returned back to the table cache. The next query that uses the table
with the impossible_range flag set and an index over the table will see the flag
and thus return an empty result.
The open_table function now initializes the TABLE::reginfo.impossible_range
variable.
The problem: described in the bug report.
The fix:
--increase buffers where it's necessary
(buffers which are used in stxnmov)
--decrease buffer lengths which are used

Make the caller of Query_log_event, Execute_load_log_event

Certain multi-updates gave different results on InnoDB from

using it.
The crash was due to a null pointer present for select_lex while
processing the view.
Adding a check while opening the view to see if its a child of a
merge table fixed this problem.
updates
Attempt to execute trigger or stored function with multi-UPDATE
which used - but didn't update - a table that was also used by
the calling statement led to an error. Read-only reference to
tables used in the calling statement should be allowed.
This problem was caused by the fact that check for conflicting
use of tables in SP/triggers was performed in open_tables(),
and in case of multi-UPDATE we didn't know exact lock type at
this stage.
We solve the problem by moving this check to lock_tables(), so
it can be performed after exact lock types for tables used by
multi-UPDATE are determined.
When the thread executing a DDL was killed after finished its
execution but before writing the binlog event, the error code in
the binlog event could be set wrongly to ER_SERVER_SHUTDOWN or
ER_QUERY_INTERRUPTED.
This patch fixed the problem by ignoring the kill status when
constructing the event for DDL statements.
This patch also included the following changes in order to
provide the test case.
1) modified mysqltest to support variable for connection command
2) modified mysql-test-run.pl, add new variable MYSQL_SLAVE to
run mysql client against the slave mysqld.
