After the WL#2687, the binlog_cache_size and max_binlog_cache_size affect both the
stmt-cache and the trx-cache. This means that the resource used is twice the amount
expected/defined by the user.
The binlog_cache_use is incremented when the stmt-cache or the trx-cache is used
and binlog_cache_disk_use is incremented when the disk space from the stmt-cache or the
trx-cache is used. This behavior does not allow to distinguish which cache may be harming
performance due to the extra disk accesses and needs to have its in-memory cache
increased.
To fix the problem, we introduced two new options and status variables related to the
stmt-cache:
Options:
. binlog_stmt_cache_size
. max_binlog_stmt_cache_size
Status Variables:
. binlog_stmt_cache_use
. binlog_stmt_cache_disk_use
So there are
. binlog_cache_size that defines the size of the transactional cache for
updates to transactional engines for the binary log.
. binlog_stmt_cache_size that defines the size of the statement cache for
updates to non-transactional engines for the binary log.
. max_binlog_cache_size that sets the total size of the transactional
cache.
. max_binlog_stmt_cache_size that sets the total size of the statement
cache.
. binlog_cache_use that identifies the number of transactions that used the
temporary transactional binary log cache.
. binlog_cache_disk_use that identifies the number of transactions that used
the temporary transactional binary log cache but that exceeded the value of
binlog_cache_size.
. binlog_stmt_cache_use that identifies the number of statements that used the
temporary non-transactional binary log cache.
. binlog_stmt_cache_disk_use that identifies the number of statements that used
the temporary non-transactional binary log cache but that exceeded the value of
binlog_stmt_cache_size.
If a relative path is supplied to option --defaults-file or
--defaults-extra-file, the server will crash when executing
an INSTALL PLUGIN command. The reason is that the defaults
file is initially read relative the current working directory
when the server is started, but when INSTALL PLUGIN is executed,
the server has changed working directory to the data directory.
Since there is no check that the call to my_load_defaults()
inside mysql_install_plugin(), the subsequence call to
free_defaults() will crash the server.
This patch fixes the problem by:
- Prepending the current working directory to the file name when
a relative path is given to the --defaults-file or --defaults-
extra-file option the first time my_load_defaults() is called,
which is just after the server has started in main().
- Adding a check of the return value of my_load_defaults() inside
mysql_install_plugin() and aborting command (with an error) if
an error is returned.
- It also adds a check of the return value for load_defaults in
lib_sql.cc for the embedded server since that was missing.
To test that the relative files for the options --defaults-file and
--defaults-extra-file is handled properly, mysql-test-run.pl is also
changed to not add a --defaults-file option if one is provided in the
tests *.opt file.
Essentially, the problem is that safemalloc is excruciatingly
slow as it checks all allocated blocks for overrun at each
memory management primitive, yielding a almost exponential
slowdown for the memory management functions (malloc, realloc,
free). The overrun check basically consists of verifying some
bytes of a block for certain magic keys, which catches some
simple forms of overrun. Another minor problem is violation
of aliasing rules and that its own internal list of blocks
is prone to corruption.
Another issue with safemalloc is rather the maintenance cost
as the tool has a significant impact on the server code.
Given the magnitude of memory debuggers available nowadays,
especially those that are provided with the platform malloc
implementation, maintenance of a in-house and largely obsolete
memory debugger becomes a burden that is not worth the effort
due to its slowness and lack of support for detecting more
common forms of heap corruption.
Since there are third-party tools that can provide the same
functionality at a lower or comparable performance cost, the
solution is to simply remove safemalloc. Third-party tools
can provide the same functionality at a lower or comparable
performance cost.
The removal of safemalloc also allows a simplification of the
malloc wrappers, removing quite a bit of kludge: redefinition
of my_malloc, my_free and the removal of the unused second
argument of my_free. Since free() always check whether the
supplied pointer is null, redudant checks are also removed.
Also, this patch adds unit testing for my_malloc and moves
my_realloc implementation into the same file as the other
memory allocation primitives.
Due to a BZR bug, that merge was done by the following command:
bzr merge -r 'revid:tor.didriksen@sun.com-20100527074248-6qtv0p1ugy6o1hjo..' <mysql-trunk-bugfixing path>
TO DO: Enable this in CMake-based builds.

Bug#53593: Add some instrumentation to improve Valgrind sensitivity
BUILD/*: Add valgrind_configs=--with-valgrind.
BUILD/*: Remove -USAFEMALLOC from valgrind_flags.
configure.in: Add AC_ARG_WITH(valgrind) and HAVE_VALGRIND.
include/my_sys.h: Define a number of MEM_ wrappers for VALGRIND_ functions.
include/my_sys.h: Make TRASH do MEM_UNDEFINED().
include/m_string.h: Remove unused macro bzero_if_purify(A,B).
_mymalloc(): Declare MEM_UNDEFINED() on the allocated memory.
_myfree(): Declare MEM_NOACCESS() on the freed memory.
storage/innobase/include/univ.i: Enable UNIV_DEBUG_VALGRIND based on
HAVE_VALGRIND rather than HAVE_purify.
Possible things to do:
* In my_global.h, remove the defined(HAVE_purify) condition
from the _WIN32 uint3korr().
* In my_global.h *int*korr(), use | instead of +
in order to keep the Valgrind V bits accurate
* Consider replacing HAVE_purify with HAVE_VALGRIND
* Use VALGRIND_CREATE_BLOCK, VALGRIND_DISCARD in mem_root and similar places

This patch:
- Moves all definitions from the mysql_priv.h file into
header files for the component where the variable is
defined
- Creates header files if the component lacks one
- Eliminates all include directives from mysql_priv.h
- Eliminates all circular include cycles
- Rename time.cc to sql_time.cc
- Rename mysql_priv.h to sql_priv.h

A client doing multiple mysql_library_init() and
mysql_library_end() calls over the lifetime of the process may
experience lost character set data, potentially even a
SIGSEGV.
This patch reinstates the reloading of character set data when
a mysql_library_init() is done after a mysql_library_end().
As documented in the bug report, the double checked locking
pattern has inherent issues, and cannot guarantee correct
initialization.
This patch replaces the logic in init_available_charsets()
with the use of pthread_once(3). A wrapper function,
my_pthread_once(), is introduced and is used in lieu of direct
calls to init_available_charsets(). Related defines
MY_PTHREAD_ONCE_* are also introduced.
For the Windows platform, the implementation in lp:sysbench is
ported. For single-thread use, a simple define calls the
function and sets the pthread_once control variable.
Charset initialization is modified to use my_pthread_once().

This patch is necessary for backport of WL#4284 "Transactional
DDL locking".
Although the MY_SYNC_DIR flag supported in my_create(), my_delete(),
my_rename() and my_symlink(), this feature is not used in the
mysql code now. So technically we can declare the MY_SYNC_DIR as 0,
but I decided to assign a new value for it as it's probably safer and
worths nothing.

NOTE
====
mysql-5.1-rpl-merge has been made a mirror of mysql-next-mr:
- "mysql-5.1-rpl-merge$ bzr pull ../mysql-next-mr"
This is the first cset (merge/...) committed after pulling
from mysql-next-mr.
Options loaded from config files were added before command line
arguments, and they were parsed together, which could interprete
the following:
option-a
option-b
as --option-a=--option-b if 'option-a' requires a value, and
caused confusing.
Because all options that requires a value are always given in
the form '--option=value', so it's an error if there is no
'=value' part for such an option read from config file.
This patch added a separator to separate the arguments from
config files and that from command line, so that they can be
handled differently. And report an error for options loaded
from config files that requires a value and is not given in the
form '--option=value'.
