The problem is that safe_kill_win fails to detect a dead process. OpenProcess() will
succeed even after the process died, it will first fail after the last handle to process
is closed.
To fix the problem, check process status with GetExitCodeProcess() and consider
process to be dead if the exit code returned by this routine is not STILL_ALIVE.
Bug in Perl
Scrap attempt to do this smartly on AIX, just drop the test and assume it's OK
This commit undoes the previous push and adds a line to ignore on AIX
Suspected reason for the failure is that safe_process.exe already runs in a job that does not allow breakaways.
The fix is to use a fallback - make newly created process the root of the new process group. This allows to kill process together with descendants via GenerateConsoleCtrlEvent (CTRL_BREAK_EVENT, pid)
It is not possible to prevent the server from starting if a mandatory
built-in plugin fails to start. This can in some cases lead to data
corruption when the old table name space suddenly is used by a different
storage engine.
A boolean command line option in the form of --foobar is automatically
created for every existing plugin "foobar". By changing this command line
option from a boolean to a tristate { OFF, ON, FORCE } it is possible to
specify the plugin loading policy for each plugin.
The behavior is specified as follows:
OFF = Disable the plugin and start the server
ON = Enable the plugin and start the server even if an error occurrs
during plugin initialization.
FORCE = Enable the plugin but don't start the server if an error occurrs
during plugin initialization.
MTR is stuck for about 20 seconds checking for free ports.
The reason is that perl's connect() takes 1 second on windows
if port is not opened.
This patch fixes the mtr_ping_port implementation on Windows
to use Net::Ping for the port checking with small (0.1sec) timeout.
This patch also removes pointless second call to check_ports_free()
in case of auto build thread.

The problem here was the method how MTR gets its unique thread ids.
Prior to this patch, the method to do it was to maintain a global
table of pid,mtr_unique_id) pairs. The table was backed by a text
file. The table was cleaned up one in a while and dead processes leaking
unique_ids were determined with with kill(0) or with scripting tasklist
on Windows.
This method is flawed specifically on native Windows Perl. fork() is
implemented with starting a new thread, give it a syntetic negative PID
(threadID*(-1)), until this thread creates a new process with exec()
However, neither tasklist nor any other native Windows tool can cope with
negative perl PIDs. This lead to incorrect determination of dead process
and reusing already used mtr_unique_id.
The patch introduces alternative portable method of solving unique-id
problem. When a process needs a unique id in range [min...max], it just
starts to open files named min, min+1,...max in a loop . After file is
opened, we do non-blocking flock(). When flock() succeeds, process has
allocated the ID. When process dies, file is unlocked . Checks for zombies
are not necessary.
Since the change would create a co-existence problems with older version
of MTR, because of different way to calculate IDs, the default ID range
is changed from 250-299 to 300-349.
Another fix that was necessary enable --parallel option was to serialize
spawn() calls on Windows. specifically, IO redirects needed to be protected.
This patch also fixes hanging CRTL-C (as described in Bug #38629) for the
"new" MTR. The fix was already in 6.0 and is now downported.
