Essentially, the problem is that safemalloc is excruciatingly
slow as it checks all allocated blocks for overrun at each
memory management primitive, yielding a almost exponential
slowdown for the memory management functions (malloc, realloc,
free). The overrun check basically consists of verifying some
bytes of a block for certain magic keys, which catches some
simple forms of overrun. Another minor problem is violation
of aliasing rules and that its own internal list of blocks
is prone to corruption.
Another issue with safemalloc is rather the maintenance cost
as the tool has a significant impact on the server code.
Given the magnitude of memory debuggers available nowadays,
especially those that are provided with the platform malloc
implementation, maintenance of a in-house and largely obsolete
memory debugger becomes a burden that is not worth the effort
due to its slowness and lack of support for detecting more
common forms of heap corruption.
Since there are third-party tools that can provide the same
functionality at a lower or comparable performance cost, the
solution is to simply remove safemalloc. Third-party tools
can provide the same functionality at a lower or comparable
performance cost.
The removal of safemalloc also allows a simplification of the
malloc wrappers, removing quite a bit of kludge: redefinition
of my_malloc, my_free and the removal of the unused second
argument of my_free. Since free() always check whether the
supplied pointer is null, redudant checks are also removed.
Also, this patch adds unit testing for my_malloc and moves
my_realloc implementation into the same file as the other
memory allocation primitives.
client/mysqldump.c:
Pass my_free directly as its signature is compatible with the
callback type -- which wasn't the case for free_table_ent.

In order to allow thread schedulers to be dynamically loaded,
it is necessary to make the following changes to the server:
- Two new service interfaces
- Modifications to InnoDB to inform the thread scheduler of state changes.
- Changes to the VIO subsystem for checking if data is available on a socket.
- Elimination of remains of the old thread pool implementation.
The two new service interfaces introduces are:
my_thread_scheduler
A service interface to register a thread
scheduler.
thd_wait
A service interface to inform thread scheduler
that the thread is about to start waiting.
In addition, the patch adds code that:
- Add a call to thd_wait for table locks in mysys
thd_lock.c by introducing a set function that
can be used to set a callback to be used when
waiting on a lock and resuming from waiting.
- Calling the mysys set function from the server
to set the callbacks correctly.

The thing is that on some platforms (e.g. Mac OS X) sockaddr_in / sockaddr_in6
contain a non-standard field (sin_len / sin6_len), that must be set.
The problem was that only standard fields were set, thus getnameinfo() returned
EAI_SYSTEM instead of EAI_NONAME.
The fix is to introduce configure-time checks (for GNU auto-tools and CMake) for
those additional fields and to set them if they are available.

(make relies GNU extentions). The patch was partially
backport from 6.0.
Original comment:
bug#30708: make relies GNU extensions. Now that we no longer use
BitKeeper we can safely remove the SCCS handling with no loss of
functionality.

Add some extra error output and code cleanup in an attempt to fix/debug
a rare random testsuite problem in check_warnings, where the exit code
from mysqltest is somehow corrupted inside mysql-test-run.pl.
include/my_global.h:
Fix compiler warnings on some platforms.
mysql-test/lib/My/SafeProcess.pm:
Move dereference of $? subprocess exit code closer to where it is generated,
to make the code more robust and on the chance that this will fix the
occasional problems in check_warnings we see in Buildbot.
mysql-test/mysql-test-run.pl:
When check_warnings failed, also log the mysqld server for which it failed.
sql/sql_lex.cc:
Fix compiler warning about possibly uninitialised value, by rewriting a for()
loop that is always executed at least once into a do .. while() loop with an
assert.
sql/table.cc:
Fix compiler warning about uninitialised value.
storage/federatedx/ha_federatedx.cc:
Fix uninitialised variable.
storage/maria/ma_delete.c:
Fix compiler warning about uninitialised value.
storage/maria/ma_loghandler.c:
Fix compiler warning about uninitialised value.
storage/myisam/ft_stopwords.c:
Fix compiler warning.
storage/myisam/mi_write.c:
Fix compiler warning about possibly uninitialised value, by rewriting a while()
loop that is always executed at least once into a do .. while() loop with an
assert.
storage/xtradb/btr/btr0cur.c:
Fix compiler warning about possibly uninitialised value.
support-files/compiler_warnings.supp:
Fix warning suppression to cover all cases in yassl.
vio/viossl.c:
Fix compiler warning.
Fixed bug in Yassle to get correct error messages in case of errors
Provide better error messages in case of ssl connect failure
Updated out-of-date ssl certificates to fix failing mysql-test-system (certificates now active for 10 years)
Fixed bug in query_cache that could cause asserts and hangs in DEBUG builds.
Fixed bug where one connection did not see changes done by another connection.
configure.in:
Changed version number from RC to stable
extra/yassl/src/yassl_error.cpp:
Fixed bug in Yassle to get correct error messages in case of errors
- 'error' is an enum that hold more error numbers than the enum was defined for
include/violite.h:
Added error output string for sslaccept() and sslconnect() to get reason for connect failure

Write failed test cases if mysql-test-run fails because of too many errors
mysql-test/r/grant.result:
Update results to reflect new certificates

Fixed compiler warnings
sql/slave.cc:
Give a better error message in logs if ssl connect fails
sql/sql_cache.cc:
debug_wait_for_kill() now removes the set watch variable after kill signal
This is needed as invalidate_table() may be called twice for one query.
Ensure that net->query_cache_query is reset after query. This fixes assert in
query_cache_end_of_result() if query_cache_query holds results from previous query.
Removed DBUG_ASSERT(0), as this code can be run by query_cache_debug.test
sql/sql_connect.cc:
Give a better error message if ssl connect fails
sql/sql_parse.cc:
Fixed bug where one connection did not see changes done by another connection.
For statements that changes tables, close_thread_tables() MUST be called before
sending OK as a table handler may not make the changes available for other connections
before unlock_tables().
vio/viossl.c:
Give a better error message if ssl connect fails
- Marked a couple of tests with --big
- Fixed xtradb/handler/ha_innodb.cc to call explain_filename()
