The problem from a user point of view was that on Solaris the
time related functions (e.g. NOW(), SYSDATE(), etc) would always
return a fixed time.
This bug was happening due to a logic in the time retrieving
wrapper function which would only call the time() function every
half second. This interval between calls would be calculated
using the gethrtime() and the logic relied on the fact that time
returned by it is monotonic.
Unfortunately, due to bugs in the gethrtime() implementation,
there are some cases where the time returned by it can drift
(See Solaris bug id 6600939), potentially causing the interval
calculation logic to fail.
The solution is to retrieve the correct time whenever a drift in
the time returned by gethrtime() is detected. That is, do not
use the cached time whenever the values (previous and current)
returned by gethrtime() are not monotonically increasing.
Fixed compiler warnings, errors and link errors
Fixed new bug on Solaris with gethrtime()
Added --debug-check option to all mysql clients to print errors and memory leaks
Added --debug-info to all clients. This now works as --debug-check but also prints memory and cpu usage
--long-query-time is now given in seconds with microseconds as decimals
--min_examined_row_limit added for slow query log
long_query_time user variable is now double with 6 decimals
Added functions to get time in microseconds
Added faster time() functions for system that has gethrtime() (Solaris)
We now do less time() calls.
Added field->in_read_set() and field->in_write_set() for easier field manipulation by handlers
set_var.cc and my_getopt() can now handle DOUBLE variables.
All time() calls changed to my_time()
my_time() now does retry's if time() call fails.
Added debug function for stopping in mysql_admin_table() when tables are locked
Some trivial function and struct variable renames to avoid merge errors.
Fixed compiler warnings
Initialization of some time variables on windows moved to my_init()
