Added MAX_STATEMENT_TIME user variable to automaticly kill queries after a given time limit has expired.
- Added timer functions based on pthread_cond_timedwait
- Added kill_handlerton() to signal storage engines about kill/timeout
- Added support for GRANT ... MAX_STATEMENT_TIME=#
- Copy max_statement_time to current user, if stored in mysql.user
- Added status variable max_statement_time_exceeded
- Added KILL_TIMEOUT
- Removed digest hash from performance schema tests as they change all the time.
- Updated test results that changed because of the new user variables or new fields in mysql.user
This functionallity is inspired by work done by Davi Arnaut at twitter.
Test case is copied from Davi's work.

The reason for the failure was a bug in an include file on debian that causes 'struct stat'
to have different sized depending on the environment.
This patch fixes so that we always include my_global.h or my_config.h before we include any other files.
Other things:
- Removed #include <my_global.h> in some include files; Better to always do this at the top level to have as few
"always-include-this-file-first' files as possible.
- Removed usage of some include files that where already included by my_global.h or by other files.

Deadlock chain:

lock(LOCK_status) -> lock(LOCK_g_s_v) SHOW STATUS
lock(LOCK_g_s_) -> wrlock(LOCK_logger) SET @@global.log_output=DEFAULT
Fixed by removing relationship between LOCK_status and
LOCK_global_system_variables during SHOW STATUS: we don't really need
LOCK_global_system_variables when accessing status vars.
This was missing in my last commit for fixing possible lockups in SHOW STATUS.
sql/log.cc:
Fixed comment
sql/sql_show.cc:
Use LOCK_show_status when we add things to all_status_vars
sql/sql_test.cc:
Remove not needed mutex_lock
Fixed the bug itself.
Also, added "SET NAMES swe7" which was forgotten in the previous commit,
so latin1 was actually tested lati1 instead of swe7 in a mistake.
Now it tests swe7.
Instead we use LOCK_status only to protect summary of thread statistics and use a new mutex, LOCK_show_status
to protect concurrent SHOW STATUS.
sql/mysqld.cc:
Add LOCK_show_status
Don't free LOCK_status while calculating status variables.
sql/mysqld.h:
Add LOCK_show_status
sql/sql_show.cc:
Use LOCK_show_status to protect SHOW STATUS instead of LOCK_status.
SHOW COLUMNS and SHOW KEYS commands fill IS_table_read_plan
in a special way - they don't set or use lookup_field_vals
member.
Added a "trivial_show_command" flag that signals that
lookup_field_vals has no valid data, made EXPLAIN code honor it.
Merged lp:maria/maria-10.0-galera up to revision 3879.
Added a new functions to handler API to forcefully abort_transaction,
producing fake_trx_id, get_checkpoint and set_checkpoint for XA. These
were added for future possiblity to add more storage engines that
could use galera replication.

- When traversing JOIN_TABs with first_linear_tab/next_linear_tab(), don't forget
to enter the semi-join nest when it is the first table in the join order.
Failure to do so could cause e.g. I_S tables not to be filled.
- "ANALYZE $stmt" should discard select's output, but it should still
evaluate the output columns (otherwise, subqueries in select list
are not executed)
- SHOW EXPLAIN's code practice of calling JOIN::save_explain_data()
after JOIN::exec() is disastrous for ANALYZE, because it resets
all counters after the first execution. It is stopped

= Also, I had to rewrite I_S optimization to actually have optimization

MDEV-406: ANALYZE $stmt
- Ported the old patch to new explain code
- New SQL syntax (ANALYZE $stmt)
- ANALYZE UPDATE/DELETE is now supported (because EXPLAIN UPDATE/DELETE is supported)
- Basic counters are calculated for basic kinds of queries
(still need to see what happens with join buffer, ORDER BY...LIMIT queries, etc)
SHOW PROCESSLIST, SHOW BINLOGS
Problem: A deadlock was occurring when 4 threads were
involved in acquiring locks in the following way
Thread 1: Dump thread ( Slave is reconnecting, so on
Master, a new dump thread is trying kill
zombie dump threads. It acquired thread's
LOCK_thd_data and it is about to acquire
mysys_var->current_mutex ( which LOCK_log)
Thread 2: Application thread is executing show binlogs and
acquired LOCK_log and it is about to acquire
LOCK_index.
Thread 3: Application thread is executing Purge binary logs
and acquired LOCK_index and it is about to
acquire LOCK_thread_count.
Thread 4: Application thread is executing show processlist
and acquired LOCK_thread_count and it is
about to acquire zombie dump thread's
LOCK_thd_data.
Deadlock Cycle:
Thread 1 -> Thread 2 -> Thread 3-> Thread 4 ->Thread 1
The same above deadlock was observed even when thread 4 is
executing 'SELECT * FROM information_schema.processlist' command and
acquired LOCK_thread_count and it is about to acquire zombie
dump thread's LOCK_thd_data.
Analysis:
There are four locks involved in the deadlock. LOCK_log,
LOCK_thread_count, LOCK_index and LOCK_thd_data.
LOCK_log, LOCK_thread_count, LOCK_index are global mutexes
where as LOCK_thd_data is local to a thread.
We can divide these four locks in two groups.
Group 1 consists of LOCK_log and LOCK_index and the order
should be LOCK_log followed by LOCK_index.
Group 2 consists of other two mutexes
LOCK_thread_count, LOCK_thd_data and the order should
be LOCK_thread_count followed by LOCK_thd_data.
Unfortunately, there is no specific predefined lock order defined
to follow in the MySQL system when it comes to locks across these
two groups. In the above problematic example,
there is no problem in the way we are acquiring the locks
if you see each thread individually.
But If you combine all 4 threads, they end up in a deadlock.
Fix:
Since everything seems to be fine in the way threads are taking locks,
In this patch We are changing the duration of the locks in Thread 4
to break the deadlock. i.e., before the patch, Thread 4
('show processlist' command) mysqld_list_processes()
function acquires LOCK_thread_count for the complete duration
of the function and it also acquires/releases
each thread's LOCK_thd_data.
LOCK_thread_count is used to protect addition and
deletion of threads in global threads list. While show
process list is looping through all the existing threads,
it will be a problem if a thread is exited but there is no problem
if a new thread is added to the system. Hence a new mutex is
introduced "LOCK_thd_remove" which will protect deletion
of a thread from global threads list. All threads which are
getting exited should acquire LOCK_thd_remove
followed by LOCK_thread_count. (It should take LOCK_thread_count
also because other places of the code still thinks that exit thread
is protected with LOCK_thread_count. In this fix, we are changing
only 'show process list' query logic )
(Eg: unlink_thd logic will be protected with
LOCK_thd_remove).
Logic of mysqld_list_processes(or file_schema_processlist)
will now be protected with 'LOCK_thd_remove' instead of
'LOCK_thread_count'.
Now the new locking order after this patch is:
LOCK_thd_remove -> LOCK_thd_data -> LOCK_log ->
LOCK_index -> LOCK_thread_count
Problem: Uninstallation of semi sync plugin causes replication to
break.
Analysis: A semisync enabled replication is mutual agreement between
Master and Slave when the connection (I/O thread) is established.
Once I/O thread is started and if semisync is enabled on both
master and slave, master appends special magic header to events
using semisync plugin functions and sends it to slave. And slave
expects that each event will have that special magic header format
and reads those bytes using semisync plugin functions.
When semi sync replication is in use if users execute
uninstallation of the plugin on master, slave gets confused while
interpreting that event's content because it expects special
magic header at the beginning of the event. Slave SQL thread will
be stopped with "Missing magic number in the header" error.
Similar problem will happen if uninstallation of the plugin happens
on slave when semi sync replication is in in use. Master sends
the events with magic header and slave does not know about the
added magic header and thinks that it received a corrupted event.
Hence slave SQL thread stops with "Found corrupted event" error.
Fix: Uninstallation of semisync plugin will be blocked when semisync
replication is in use and will throw 'ER_UNKNOWN_ERROR' error.
To detect that semisync replication is in use, this patch uses
semisync status variable values.
> On Master, it checks for 'Rpl_semi_sync_master_status' to be OFF
before allowing the uninstallation of rpl_semi_sync_master plugin.
>> Rpl_semi_sync_master_status is OFF when
>>> there is no dump thread running
>>> there are no semisync slaves
> On Slave, it checks for 'Rpl_semi_sync_slave_status' to be OFF
before allowing the uninstallation of rpl_semi_sync_slave plugin.
>> Rpl_semi_sync_slave_status is OFF when
>>> there is no I/O thread running
>>> replication is asynchronous replication.
The fill_schema_table() function used to call get_table_share() for a table name in WHERE
then clear the error list. That way plugins receive the superfluous error notification if it
happens in it. Also the problem was that error handler didn't prevent the suppressed
error message from logging anyway as the logging happens in THD::raise_condition
before the handler call.
Trigger_error_handler is remade into Warnings_only_error_handler, so it stores the error
message in all cases in the thd->stmt_da.
Then later the stored error is raised.

Bug #3329 Incomplete lower_case_table_names=2 implementation
The problem was that check_db_name() converted database names to lower case also in case of lower_case_table_names=2.
Fixed by removing the conversion in check_db_name for lower_case_table_names = 2 and instead converting db name to
lower case at same places as table names are converted.
Fixed bug that SHOW CREATE DATABASE FOO showed information for database 'foo'.
I also removed some checks of lower_case_table_names when it was enough to use table_alias_charset.
mysql-test/mysql-test-run.pl:
Added --use-copy argument to force mysql-test-run to copy files instead of doing symlinks. This is needed when you run

Before this fix, specially crafted queries

The root cause was a buffer overflow,

With this fix, the buffer overflow condition is properly handled,
