Bug#55794: ulonglong options of mysqld show wrong values.
Port the few remaining system variables to the correct mechanism --
range-check in check-stage (and throw error or warning at that point
as needed and depending on STRICTness), update in update stage.
Fix some signedness errors when retrieving sysvar values for display.
Fix assorted warnings that are generated in optimized builds.
Most of it is silencing variables that are set but unused.
This patch also introduces the MY_ASSERT_UNREACHABLE macro
which helps the compiler to deduce that a certain piece of
code is unreachable.
Apart strict-aliasing warnings, fix the remaining warnings
generated by GCC 4.4.4 -Wall and -Wextra flags.
One major source of warnings was the in-house function my_bcmp
which (unconventionally) took pointers to unsigned characters
as the byte sequences to be compared. Since my_bcmp and bcmp
are deprecated functions whose only difference with memcmp is
the return value, every use of the function is replaced with
memcmp as the special return value wasn't actually being used
by any caller.
There were also various other warnings, mostly due to type
mismatches, missing return values, missing prototypes, dead
code (unreachable) and ignored return values.
Some of the server implementations don't support dates later
than 2038 due to the internal time type being 32 bit.
Added checks so that the server will refuse dates that cannot
be handled by either throwing an error when setting date at
runtime or by refusing to start or shutting down the server if
the system date cannot be stored in my_time_t.
Server crashes on 64bit linux with 'double free or corruption'
message, on 32bit mysql-test-run silently fails on bootstrap
stage. The problem is that FreeState() is called twice
for init_settings struct in _db_end_ function.
The fix is to remove superfluous FreeState() call.
Additional fix:
fixed discrepancy of result file when
debug & valgrind options are enabled
for MTR.
SET autocommit=1 while XA transaction is active may
cause various side effects, including memory corruption
and server crash.
The problem is that SET autocommit=1 and further queries
attempt to commit local transaction, whereas XA transaction
is still active.
As local and XA transactions are mutually exclusive, this
patch forbids enabling autocommit mode while XA transaction
is active.
Several items said to be deprecated in the 4.1 manual
have never been removed. This worklog adds deprecation
warnings when these items are used, and warns the user
that the items will be removed in MySQL 5.6.
A couple of previously deprecation decision have been
reversed (see single file comments)
It is well-known that due to concurrency issues, a slave can become
inconsistent when a transaction contains updates to both transaction and
non-transactional tables in statement and mixed modes.
In a nutshell, the current code-base tries to preserve causality among the
statements by writing non-transactional statements to the txn-cache which
is flushed upon commit. However, modifications done to non-transactional
tables on behalf of a transaction become immediately visible to other
connections but may not immediately get into the binary log and therefore
consistency may be broken.
In general, it is impossible to automatically detect causality/dependency
among statements by just analyzing the statements sent to the server. This
happen because dependency may be hidden in the application code and it is
necessary to know a priori all the statements processed in the context of
a transaction such as in a procedure. Moreover, even for the few cases that
we could automatically address in the server, the computation effort
required could make the approach infeasible.
So, in this patch we introduce the option
- "--binlog-direct-non-transactional-updates" that can be used to bypass
the current behavior in order to write directly to binary log statements
that change non-transactional tables.
When compressed myisam files are opened, they are always memory mapped
sometimes causing memory swapping problems.
When we mmap the myisam compressed tables of size greater than the memory
available, the kswapd0 process utilization is very high consuming 30-40% of
the cpu. This happens only with linux kernels older than 2.6.9
With newer linux kernels, we don't have this problem of high cpu consumption
and this option may not be required.
The option 'myisam_mmap_size' is added to limit the amount of memory used for
memory mapping of myisam files. This option is not dynamic.
The default value on 32 bit system is 4294967295 bytes and on 64 bit system it
is 18446744073709547520 bytes.
Note: Testcase only tests the option variable. The actual bug has be to
tested manually.
Backport from 6.0 to 5.1.
Only those sync points are included, which are used in debug_sync.test.
The Debug Sync Facility allows to place synchronization points
in the code:
open_tables(...)
DEBUG_SYNC(thd, "after_open_tables");
lock_tables(...)
When activated, a sync point can
- Send a signal and/or
- Wait for a signal
Nomenclature:
- signal: A value of a global variable that persists
until overwritten by a new signal. The global
variable can also be seen as a "signal post"
or "flag mast". Then the signal is what is
attached to the "signal post" or "flag mast".
- send a signal: Assign the value (the signal) to the global
variable ("set a flag") and broadcast a
global condition to wake those waiting for
a signal.
- wait for a signal: Loop over waiting for the global condition until
the global value matches the wait-for signal.
Please find more information in the top comment in debug_sync.cc
or in the worklog entry.
The "socket" variable is not available on Windows even though
the --socket option can be used to specify the pipe name for
local connections that use a named pipe.
The solution is to ensure that the variable is always defined.
Inconsistent behavior of session variable max_allowed_packet
(and net_buffer_length); only assignment to the global variable
has any effect, without this being obvious to the user.
The patch for Bug#22891 is backported to 5.0, making the two
session variables read-only. As this is a backport to GA
software, the error used when trying to assign to the read-
only variable is ER_UNKNOWN_ERROR. The error message is the
same as in 5.1+.
always rollsback.
The global variable max_binlog_cache_size cannot be set more than 4GB on
32 bit systems, limiting transactions of all storage engines to 4G of changes.
The problem is max_binlog_cache_size is declared as ulong which is 4 bytes
on 32 bit and 8 bytes on 64 bit machines.
Fixed by using ulonglong for max_binlog_cache_size which is 8bytes on 32
and 64 bit machines.The range for max_binlog_cache_size on 32 bit and 64 bit
systems is 4096-18446744073709547520 bytes.
for indexes of InnoDB table
Fixes by replacing the PRNG that is used to pick random pages with a
better one.
Also adds a configuration option "innodb_use_legacy_cardinality_algorithm"
to enable the fix only when the option is set.

- Fix valgrind warning on attempt to run a "SET optimizer_switch=number" statement.
Need to call c_ptr_safe() as strings returned by non-string items are not
necessarily null-terminated.
When binlog_format is STATEMENT and the statement is unsafe before,
the unsafe warning/error message was issued without checking
whether the SQL_LOG_BIN was turned on or not.
Fixed with adding a sql_log_bin_toplevel flag in THD to check
whether SQL_LOG_BIN is ON in current session whatever the current is in sp or not.
In STRICT mode, out-of-bounds values caused an error message
to be queued (rather than just a warning), without any further
error-like processing happening. (The error is queued during
update, at which time it's too late. For it to be processed
properly, it would need to be queued during check-stage.)
The assertion rightfully complains that we're trying to send
an OK while having an error queued.
Changeset breaks a lot of tests out into check-stage. This also
allows us to send more correct warnings/error messages.

- Add support for setting it as a server commandline argument
- Add support for those switches:
= no_index_merge
= no_index_merge_union
= no_index_merge_sort_union
= no_index_merge_intersection
- Remove bothersome warning messages. This change focuses on the warnings
that are covered by the ignore file: support-files/compiler_warnings.supp.
- Strings are guaranteed to be max uint in length

The binlog_innodb test was sensitive to what tests ran before it. Now run
FLUSH STATUS before performing operations that need to be checked.
sys_var_thd_ulong::update() was improperly casting an option value from
ulonglong to ulong before comparing it to the max allowed value. On systems
where ulong and ulonglong are of different size, this caused values greater
than ULONG_MAX to wrap around (not be truncated to ULONG_MAX, which appears to
have been the intention of the original coder), and caused some checks to work
incorrectly. This wasn't generally visible to the user, because later checks
would prevent the wrapped-around value from being used. But it caused warning
messages to differ between 32- and 64-bit platforms. Fix is to just remove the
cast. Also added a DBUG_ASSERT to ensure that the value really is capped
properly before finally stuffing it into the ulong.
