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.
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.
BUILD/SETUP.sh:
Remove flags that are implied by -Wall and -Wextra.
Do not warn about unused parameters in C++.
BUILD/check-cpu:
Print only the compiler version instead of verbose banner.
Although the option is gcc specific, the check was only
being used for GCC specific checks anyway.

bcmp is no longer defined.
client/mysqltest.cc:
Pass a string to function expecting a format string.
Replace use of bcmp with memcmp.

position if fgets succeed -- if it fails, the function will

Use a single array instead of accessing positions of the sbox_
through a subscript to pbox_.

Avoid potentially ambiguous conditions.
extra/yassl/taocrypt/src/integer.cpp:
Do not define type within a anonymous union.
Use a variable to return a value instead of
leaving the result in a register -- compiler
does not know the logic inside the asm.

Define handler for pure virtual functions.
Remove unused code.
extra/yassl/taocrypt/src/twofish.cpp:
Avoid potentially ambiguous conditions.
extra/yassl/testsuite/test.hpp:
Function must have C language linkage.

being used as bcmp is only visible when _BSD_SOURCE is defined.
include/my_bitmap.h:
Remove bogus helpers which were used only in a few files and
were causing warnings about dead code.
include/my_global.h:
Due to G++ bug, always silence false-positive uninitialized

Replace use of bmove_align with memcpy.

The slave crashed while two threads: IO thread and user thread
raced for the same mutex (the append_buffer_lock protecting the
relay log's IO_CACHE). The IO thread was trying to flush the
cache, and for that was grabbing the append_buffer_lock.
However, the other thread was closing and reopening the relay log
when the IO thread tried to lock. Closing and reopening the log
includes destroying and reinitialising the IO_CACHE
mutex. Therefore, the IO thread tried to lock a destroyed mutex.

DBUG_SYNC_POINT has at least one strong limitation that it's not defined
on all platforms. It has issues cooperating with @@debug.
All in all its functionality is superseded by DEBUG_SYNC facility and
there is no reason to maintain the old less flexible one.
Fixed with adding debug_sync_set_action() function as a facility to set up
a sync-action in the server sources code and re-writing existing simulations
(found 3) to use it.
Couple of tests have been reworked as well.

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.

There was an erroneous parameter when calling flush_master_info
from write_ignored_events_info_to_relay_log which could lead to a
server crash. This happens because the I/O thread releases the
log_lock before calling the flush_master_info.
Set the function to call flush_master_info with third parameter
to true, so that the mutex is properly taken.

The IO thread can concurrently access the relay log IO_CACHE
while another thread is performing an FLUSH LOGS procedure.
FLUSH LOGS closes and reopens the relay log and while doing so it
(re)initializes its IO_CACHE. During this procedure the IO_CACHE
mutex is also reinitialized, which can cause problems if some
other thread (namely the IO THREAD) is concurrently accessing it
at the time .
This patch fixes the problem by extending the interface of the
flush_master_info function to also include a second paramater,
"need_relay_log_lock", stating whether the thread should grab the
relay log lock or not before actually flushing the relay log.
Also, IO thread now calls flush_master_info with this flag set
when it flushes master info with in the event read_event loop.
Finally, we also increase loop time in rpl_heartbeat_basic test
case, so that the number of calls to flush logs doubles, stressing
this part of the code a little more.
