8b0c705c39 A follow up patch for the fix for Bug#51263 "Deadlock between
transactional SELECT and ALTER TABLE ...  REBUILD PARTITION".

Move declarations of sql_base.cc classes to sql_base.h
(previously declared in sql_class.h).
Became possible after a header file split.

5dec0c9637 Bug#53445: Build with -Wall and fix warnings that it generates
Fix various mismatches between function's language linkage. Any
particular function that is declared in C++ but should be callable
from C must have C linkage. Note that function types with different
linkages are also distinct. Thus, if a function type is declared in
C code, it will have C linkage (same if declared in a extern "C"
block).

02fc237a2c BUG#50479 DDL stmt on row-only/stmt-only tables generate spurious binlog_format
errors
            
In the fix of BUG#39934 in 5.1-rep+3, errors are generated when
binlog_format=row and a statement modifies a table restricted to
statement-logging (ER_BINLOG_ROW_MODE_AND_STMT_ENGINE); or if
binlog_format=statement and a statement modifies a table restricted to
row-logging (ER_BINLOG_STMT_MODE_AND_ROW_ENGINE).
            
However, some DDL statements that lock tables (e.g. ALTER TABLE,
CREATE INDEX and CREATE TRIGGER) were causing spurious errors,
although no row might be inserted into the binary log.
            
To fix the problem, we tagged statements that may generate
rows into the binary log and thence the warning messages are
only printed out when the appropriate conditions hold and rows
might be changed.

9fbf4b723d BUG#53437 @@session.sql_bin_log support in substatements is incorrect
The thd->variables.option_bits & OPTION_BIN_LOG is currently abused: 
it's both a system variable and an implementation switch. The current
approach to this option bit breaks the session variable encapsulation. 
      
Besides it is allowed to change @@session.sql_bin_log within a
transaction what may lead to not correctly logging a transaction.
      
To fix the problems,  we created a thd->variables variable to represent
the "sql_log_bin" and prohibited its update inside a transaction or
sub-statement.

a3c080be7a Pre-requisite patch for bug #51263 "Deadlock between
transactional SELECT and ALTER TABLE ... REBUILD PARTITION".

The goal of this patch is to decouple type of metadata
lock acquired for table by open_tables() from type of
table-level lock to be acquired on it.

To achieve this we change approach to how we determine what
type of metadata lock should be acquired on table to be open.
Now instead of inferring it at open_tables() time from flags
and type of table-level lock we rely on that type of metadata
lock is properly set at parsing time and is not changed
further.

7752ccec48 Patch for Bug#21818 (Return value of ROW_COUNT() is incorrect
for ALTER TABLE, LOAD DATA).

ROW_COUNT is now assigned according to the following rules:

  - In my_ok():
    - for DML statements: to the number of affected rows;
    - for DDL statements: to 0.

  - In my_eof(): to -1 to indicate that there was a result set.

    We derive this semantics from the JDBC specification, where int
    java.sql.Statement.getUpdateCount() is defined to (sic) "return the
    current result as an update count; if the result is a ResultSet
    object or there are no more results, -1 is returned".

  - In my_error(): to -1 to be compatible with the MySQL C API and
    MySQL ODBC driver.

  - For SIGNAL statements: to 0 per WL#2110 specification. Zero is used
    since that's the "default" value of ROW_COUNT in the diagnostics area.

44fe4c707b Bug #49756 Rows_examined is always 0 in the slow query log for
update statements
      
Only SELECT statements report any examined rows in the slow
log. Slow UPDATE, DELETE and INSERT statements report 0 rows
examined, unless the statement has a condition including a
SELECT substatement.
      
This patch adds counting of examined rows for the UPDATE and
DELETE statements. An INSERT ... VALUES statement will still 
not report any rows as examined.

5ac769be68 Draft patch that fixes and a sketches test cases for:
Bug#20837 Apparent change of isolation level during transaction,
Bug#46527 COMMIT AND CHAIN RELEASE does not make sense,
Bug#53343 completion_type=1, COMMIT/ROLLBACK AND CHAIN don't 
preserve the isolation level
Bug#53346 completion_type has strange effect in a stored 
procedure/prepared statement

Make thd->tx_isolation mean strictly "current transaction 
isolation level"
Make thd->variables.tx_isolation mean "current session isolation
level".
The current transaction isolation level is now established
at transaction start. If there was a SET TRANSACTION
ISOLATION LEVEL statement, the value is taken from it.
Otherwise, the session value is used.
A change in a session value, made while a transaction is active,
whereas still allowed, no longer has any effect on the
current transaction isolation level. This is an incompatible
change.
A change in a session isolation level, made while there is
no active transaction, overrides SET TRANSACTION statement,
if there was any.
Changed the impelmentation to not look at @@session.completion_type
in the parser, and thus fixed Bug#53346.
Changed the parser to not allow AND NO CHAIN RELEASE,
and thus fixed Bug#46527.
Changed the transaction API to take the current transaction
isolation level into account:
- BEGIN/COMMIT now do preserve the current transaction
isolation level if chaining is on.
- implicit commit, XA COMMIT or XA ROLLBACK or autocommit don't.

a6d6ac3dbe BUG#53075 SBR: Strange warning around CONNECTION_ID
Statements with CONNECTION_ID were forced to be kept in the transactional
cache and by consequence non-transactional changes that were supposed to
be flushed ahead of the transaction were kept in the transactional cache.

This happened because after BUG#51894 any statement whose thd's
thread_specific_used was set was kept in the transactional cache. The idea
was to keep changes on temporary tables in the transactional cache. However,
the thread_specific_used was set not only for statements that accessed
temporary tables but also when the CONNECTION_ID was used.

To fix the problem, we created a new variable to keep track of updates
to temporary tables.

9ba731c299 BUG#51894 Replication failure with SBR on DROP TEMPORARY TABLE inside a
transaction
BUG#52616 Temp table prevents switch binlog format from STATEMENT to ROW

Before the WL#2687 and BUG#46364, every non-transactional change that happened
after a transactional change was written to trx-cache and flushed upon
committing the transaction. WL#2687 and BUG#46364 changed this behavior and
non-transactional changes are now written to the binary log upon committing
the statement.

A binary log event is identified as transactional or non-transactional through
a flag in the Log_event which is set taking into account the underlie storage
engine on what it is stems from. In the current bug, this flag was not being
set properly when the DROP TEMPORARY TABLE was executed.

However, while fixing this bug we figured out that changes to temporary tables
should be always written to the trx-cache if there is an on-going transaction.
Otherwise, binlog events in the reversed order would be produced.

Regarding concurrency, keeping changes to temporary tables in the trx-cache is
also safe as temporary tables are only visible to the owner connection.

In this patch, we classify the following statements as unsafe:
   1 - INSERT INTO t_myisam SELECT * FROM t_myisam_temp

   2 - INSERT INTO t_myisam_temp SELECT * FROM t_myisam

   3 - CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE t_myisam_temp SELECT * FROM t_myisam

On the other hand, the following statements are classified as safe:

   1 - INSERT INTO t_innodb SELECT * FROM t_myisam_temp

   2 - INSERT INTO t_myisam_temp SELECT * FROM t_innodb

The patch also guarantees that transactions that have a DROP TEMPORARY are
always written to the binary log regardless of the mode and the outcome:
commit or rollback. In particular, the DROP TEMPORARY is extended with the
IF EXISTS clause when the current statement logging format is set to row.

Finally, the patch allows to switch from STATEMENT to MIXED/ROW when there
are temporary tables but the contrary is not possible.

b89feb5b28 BUG#39053 - UNISTALL PLUGIN does not allow the storage engine
to cleanup open connections

It was possible to UNINSTALL storage engine plugin when binding
between THD object and storage engine is still active (e.g. in
the middle of transaction).

To avoid unclean deactivation (uninstall) of storage engine plugin
in the middle of transaction, additional storage engine plugin
lock is acquired by thd_set_ha_data().

If ha_data is not null and storage engine plugin was not locked
by thd_set_ha_data() in this connection before, storage engine
plugin gets locked.

If ha_data is null and storage engine plugin was locked by
thd_set_ha_data() in this connection before, storage engine
plugin lock gets released.

If handlerton::close_connection() didn't reset ha_data, server does
it immediately after calling handlerton::close_connection().

Note that this is just a framework fix, storage engines must switch
to thd_set_ha_data() from thd_ha_data() if they want to see fit.

229da7c0dd BUG#51426: overflow for auto_increment column causes slave to stop
In BUG#49562 we fixed the case where numeric user var events
would not serialize the flag stating whether the value was signed
or unsigned (unsigned_flag). This fixed the case that the slave
would get an overflow while treating the unsigned values as
signed.
      
In this bug, we find that the unsigned_flag can sometimes change
between the moment that the user value is recorded for binlogging
purposes and the actual binlogging time. Since we take the
unsigned_flag from the runtime variable data, at binlogging time,
and the variable value is comes from the copy taken earlier in
the execution, there may be inconsistency in the
User_var_log_event between the variable value and its
unsigned_flag.
      
We fix this by also copying the unsigned_flag of the
user_var_entry when its value is copied, for binlogging
purposes. Later, at binlogging time, we use the copied
unsigned_flag and not the one in the runtime user_var_entry
instance.

dd42aab840 Followup to Bug#45225 Locking: hang if drop table with no timeout
This patch prevents system threads and system table accesses from
using user-specified values for "lock_wait_timeout". Instead all
such accesses are done using the default value (1 year).

This prevents background tasks (such as replication, events, 
accessing stored function definitions, logging, reading time-zone
information, etc.) from failing in cases where the global value
of "lock_wait_timeout" is set very low.

The patch also simplifies the open tables API. Rather than adding
another convenience function for opening and locking system tables,
this patch removes most of the existing convenience functions for
open_and_lock_tables_derived(). Before, open_and_lock_tables() was
a convenience function that enforced derived tables handling, while
open_and_lock_tables_derived() was the main function where derived
tables handling was optional. Now, this convencience function is
gone and the main function is renamed to open_and_lock_tables(). 

No test case added as it would have required the use of --sleep to
check that system threads and system tables have a different timeout
value from the user-specified "lock_wait_timeout" system variable.

0ec868ca0e Fix for bug #50908 "Assertion `handler_tables_hash.records == 0'
failed in enter_locked_tables_mode".

Server was aborted due to assertion failure when one tried to 
execute statement requiring prelocking (i.e. firing triggers
or using stored functions) while having open HANDLERs.

The problem was that THD::enter_locked_tables_mode() method
which was called at the beginning of execution of prelocked 
statement assumed there are no open HANDLERs. It had to do 
so because corresponding THD::leave_locked_tables_mode()
method was unable to properly restore MDL sentinel when
leaving LOCK TABLES/prelocked mode in the presence of open 
HANDLERs.

This patch solves this problem by changing the latter method
to properly restore MDL sentinel and thus removing need for 
this assumption. As a side-effect, it lifts unjustified
limitation by allowing to keep HANDLERs open when entering 
LOCK TABLES mode.

5bb67f34b8 Bug #45225 Locking: hang if drop table with no timeout
This patch introduces timeouts for metadata locks. 

The timeout is specified in seconds using the new dynamic system 
variable  "lock_wait_timeout" which has both GLOBAL and SESSION
scopes. Allowed values range from 1 to 31536000 seconds (= 1 year). 
The default value is 1 year.

The new server parameter "lock-wait-timeout" can be used to set
the default value parameter upon server startup.

"lock_wait_timeout" applies to all statements that use metadata locks.
These include DML and DDL operations on tables, views, stored procedures
and stored functions. They also include LOCK TABLES, FLUSH TABLES WITH
READ LOCK and HANDLER statements.

The patch also changes thr_lock.c code (table data locks used by MyISAM
and other simplistic engines) to use the same system variable.
InnoDB row locks are unaffected.

One exception to the handling of the "lock_wait_timeout" variable
is delayed inserts. All delayed inserts are executed with a timeout
of 1 year regardless of the setting for the global variable. As the
connection issuing the delayed insert gets no notification of 
delayed insert timeouts, we want to avoid unnecessary timeouts.

It's important to note that the timeout value is used for each lock
acquired and that one statement can take more than one lock.
A statement can therefore block for longer than the lock_wait_timeout 
value before reporting a timeout error. When lock timeout occurs, 
ER_LOCK_WAIT_TIMEOUT is reported.

Test case added to lock_multi.test.

9ba558302b BUG#51021: current_stmt_binlog_row_based not removed in next-mr
As part of BUG@39934 fix, the public:
 - THD::current_stmt_binlog_row_based 
variable had been removed and replaced by a private variable:
 - THD::current_stmt_binlog_format. 

THD was refactored and some modifiers and accessors were
implemented for the new variable.

However, due to a bad merge, the
THD::current_stmt_binlog_row_based variable is back as a public
member of THD. This in itself is already potentially
harmful. What's even worse is that while merging some more
patches and resolving conflicts, the variable started being used
again, which is obviously wrong.

To fix this we:
  1. remove the extraneous variable from sql_class.h
  2. revert a bad merge for BUG#49132
  3. merge BUG#49132 properly again (actually, making use of the
     cset used to merge the original patch to mysql-pe).

afd15c43a9 Implement new type-of-operation-aware metadata locks.
Add a wait-for graph based deadlock detector to the
MDL subsystem.

Fixes bug #46272 "MySQL 5.4.4, new MDL: unnecessary deadlock" and
bug #37346 "innodb does not detect deadlock between update and
alter table".

The first bug manifested itself as an unwarranted abort of a
transaction with ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK error by a concurrent ALTER
statement, when this transaction tried to repeat use of a
table, which it has already used in a similar fashion before
ALTER started.

The second bug showed up as a deadlock between table-level
locks and InnoDB row locks, which was "detected" only after
innodb_lock_wait_timeout timeout.

A transaction would start using the table and modify a few
rows.
Then ALTER TABLE would come in, and start copying rows
into a temporary table. Eventually it would stumble on
the modified records and get blocked on a row lock.
The first transaction would try to do more updates, and get
blocked on thr_lock.c lock.
This situation of circular wait would only get resolved
by a timeout.

Both these bugs stemmed from inadequate solutions to the
problem of deadlocks occurring between different
locking subsystems.

In the first case we tried to avoid deadlocks between metadata
locking and table-level locking subsystems, when upgrading shared
metadata lock to exclusive one.
Transactions holding the shared lock on the table and waiting for
some table-level lock used to be aborted too aggressively.

We also allowed ALTER TABLE to start in presence of transactions
that modify the subject table. ALTER TABLE acquires
TL_WRITE_ALLOW_READ lock at start, and that block all writes
against the table (naturally, we don't want any writes to be lost
when switching the old and the new table). TL_WRITE_ALLOW_READ
lock, in turn, would block the started transaction on thr_lock.c
lock, should they do more updates. This, again, lead to the need
to abort such transactions.

The second bug occurred simply because we didn't have any
mechanism to detect deadlocks between the table-level locks
in thr_lock.c and row-level locks in InnoDB, other than
innodb_lock_wait_timeout.

This patch solves both these problems by moving lock conflicts
which are causing these deadlocks into the metadata locking
subsystem, thus making it possible to avoid or detect such
deadlocks inside MDL.

To do this we introduce new type-of-operation-aware metadata
locks, which allow MDL subsystem to know not only the fact that
transaction has used or is going to use some object but also what
kind of operation it has carried out or going to carry out on the
object.

This, along with the addition of a special kind of upgradable
metadata lock, allows ALTER TABLE to wait until all
transactions which has updated the table to go away.
This solves the second issue.
Another special type of upgradable metadata lock is acquired
by LOCK TABLE WRITE. This second lock type allows to solve the
first issue, since abortion of table-level locks in event of
DDL under LOCK TABLES becomes also unnecessary.

Below follows the list of incompatible changes introduced by
this patch:

- From now on, ALTER TABLE and CREATE/DROP TRIGGER SQL (i.e. those
  statements that acquire TL_WRITE_ALLOW_READ lock)
  wait for all transactions which has *updated* the table to
  complete.

- From now on, LOCK TABLES ... WRITE, REPAIR/OPTIMIZE TABLE
  (i.e. all statements which acquire TL_WRITE table-level lock) wait
  for all transaction which *updated or read* from the table
  to complete.
  As a consequence, innodb_table_locks=0 option no longer applies
  to LOCK TABLES ... WRITE.

- DROP DATABASE, DROP TABLE, RENAME TABLE no longer abort
  statements or transactions which use tables being dropped or
  renamed, and instead wait for these transactions to complete.

- Since LOCK TABLES WRITE now takes a special metadata lock,
  not compatible with with reads or writes against the subject table
  and transaction-wide, thr_lock.c deadlock avoidance algorithm
  that used to ensure absence of deadlocks between LOCK TABLES
  WRITE and other statements is no longer sufficient, even for
  MyISAM. The wait-for graph based deadlock detector of MDL
  subsystem may sometimes be necessary and is involved. This may
  lead to ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK error produced for multi-statement
  transactions even if these only use MyISAM:

  session 1:         session 2:
  begin;

  update t1 ...      lock table t2 write, t1 write;
                     -- gets a lock on t2, blocks on t1

  update t2 ...
  (ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK)

- Finally,  support of LOW_PRIORITY option for LOCK TABLES ... WRITE
  was abandoned.
  LOCK TABLE ... LOW_PRIORITY WRITE from now on has the same
  priority as the usual LOCK TABLE ... WRITE.
  SELECT HIGH PRIORITY no longer trumps LOCK TABLE ... WRITE  in
  the wait queue.

- We do not take upgradable metadata locks on implicitly
  locked tables. So if one has, say, a view v1 that uses
  table t1, and issues:
  LOCK TABLE v1 WRITE;
  FLUSH TABLE t1; -- (or just 'FLUSH TABLES'),
  an error is produced.
  In order to be able to perform DDL on a table under LOCK TABLES,
  the table must be locked explicitly in the LOCK TABLES list.
