The autotools-based build system has been superseded and
is being removed in order to ease the maintenance burden on
developers tweaking and maintaining the build system.
In order to support tools that need to extract the server
version, a new file that (only) contains the server version,
called VERSION, is introduced. The file contents are human
and machine-readable. The format is:
MYSQL_VERSION_MAJOR=5
MYSQL_VERSION_MINOR=5
MYSQL_VERSION_PATCH=8
MYSQL_VERSION_EXTRA=-rc
The CMake based version extraction in cmake/mysql_version.cmake
is changed to extract the version from this file. The configure
to CMake wrapper is retained for backwards compatibility and to
support the BUILD/ scripts. Also, a new a makefile target
show-dist-name that prints the server version is introduced.
Use __builtin_stpcpy only if the system supports stpcpy.
This is necessary as in some cases a call to stpcpy will
be emitted if the built-in can not optimized.

When a query is slow, sent a special flag to the client
indicating this fact.

Quoting from the bug report:
The pstack library has been included in MySQL since version
4.0.0. It's useless and should be removed.
Details: According to its own documentation, pstack only works
on Linux on x86 in 32 bit mode and requires LinuxThreads and a
statically linked binary. It doesn't really support any Linux
from 2003 or later and doesn't work on any other OS.
The --enable-pstack option is thus deprecated and has no effect.
If a relative path is supplied to option --defaults-file or
--defaults-extra-file, the server will crash when executing
an INSTALL PLUGIN command. The reason is that the defaults
file is initially read relative the current working directory
when the server is started, but when INSTALL PLUGIN is executed,
the server has changed working directory to the data directory.
Since there is no check that the call to my_load_defaults()
inside mysql_install_plugin(), the subsequence call to
free_defaults() will crash the server.
This patch fixes the problem by:
- Prepending the current working directory to the file name when
a relative path is given to the --defaults-file or --defaults-
extra-file option the first time my_load_defaults() is called,
which is just after the server has started in main().
- Adding a check of the return value of my_load_defaults() inside
mysql_install_plugin() and aborting command (with an error) if
an error is returned.
- It also adds a check of the return value for load_defaults in
lib_sql.cc for the embedded server since that was missing.
To test that the relative files for the options --defaults-file and
--defaults-extra-file is handled properly, mysql-test-run.pl is also
changed to not add a --defaults-file option if one is provided in the
tests *.opt file.
Boolean options cause parsing failures when they are given
with prefix loose- and an argument, either in the command
line or in configuration file.
The reason was a faulty logic which forced the parsing
to throw an error when an argument of type NO_ARG was
used together with an argument which has been identified
as a key-value pair. Despite the attribute NO_ARG these
options actually take arguments if they are of type
BOOL.
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.
For crash testing: kill the server without generating core file.
include/my_dbug.h
Use kill(getpid(), SIGKILL) which cannot be caught by signal handlers.
All DBUG_XXX macros should be no-ops in optimized mode, do that for DBUG_ABORT as well.
sql/handler.cc
Kill server without generating core.
sql/log.cc
Kill server without generating core.
For crash testing: kill the server without generating core file.

The fix is to:
- introduce ORACLE_WELCOME_COPYRIGHT_NOTICE define to have a single place
to specify copyright notice;
- replace custom copyright notices with ORACLE_WELCOME_COPYRIGHT_NOTICE
in programs.
- fix ~20 warnings about redefinition of HAVE_DLOPEN
This was caused by new ADD_DEFINITIONS(-DHAVE_DLOPEN) inside client library CMakeLists.txt
- fix dlerror() message which ("static build?" ) which is only confusing on Windows,
there is no "static build"
connectors plugins
Implemented changes needed to keep the client plugin API compatible with
the existing plugins :
1. Provided an options() client plugin API to let the application pass
options to the plugin after loading it
2. Added "License" (const char *) to specify the client plugin's license
3. Added "mysql_api" as a placeholder that the client library can use
to pass function pointers to the plugin so that the plugin can call the
C lib back.
4. Updated the existing client plugins to comply with the API change.
5. Added more detailed error message generation for Windows.

detector". This patch addresses performance regression in OLTP_RO/MyISAM
test on Windows introduced by the fix for bug #56405. Thus it makes
original patch acceptable as a solution for bug #56585 "Slowdown of
readonly sysbench benchmarks (e.g point_select) on Windows 5.5".
With this patch, MySQL will use native Windows condition variables and
reader-writer locks if they are supported by the OS.
This speeds up MyISAM and the effect comes mostly from using native
rwlocks. Native conditions improve scalability with higher number of
concurrent users in other situations, e.g for prlocks.
Benchmark numbers for this patch as measured on Win2008R2 quad
core machine are attached to the bug report.
( direct link http://bugs.mysql.com/file.php?id=15883 )
Note that currently we require at least Windows7/WS2008R2 for
reader-writer locks, even though native rwlock is available also on Vista.
Reason is that "trylock" APIs are missing on Vista, and trylock is used in
the server (in a single place in query cache).
While this patch could have been written differently, to enable the native
rwlock optimization also on Vista/WS2008 (e.g using native locks everywhere
but portable implementation in query cache), this would come at the
expense of the code clarity, as it would introduce a new "try-able" rwlock
type, to handle Vista case.
Another way to improve performance for the special case
(OLTP_RO/MYISAM/Vista) would be to eliminate "trylock" usage from server,
but this is outside of the scope here.
Native conditions variables are used beginning with Vista though the effect
of using condition variables alone is not measurable in this benchmark.
But when used together with native rwlocks on Win7, native conditions improve
performance in high-concurrency OLTP_RO/MyISAM (128 and more sysbench
users).
detector" that doesn't introduce bug #56715 "Concurrent
transactions + FLUSH result in sporadical unwarranted
deadlock errors".
Deadlock could have occurred when workload containing a mix
of DML, DDL and FLUSH TABLES statements affecting the same
set of tables was executed in a heavily concurrent environment.
This deadlock occurred when several connections tried to
perform deadlock detection in the metadata locking subsystem.
The first connection started traversing wait-for graph,
encountered a sub-graph representing a wait for flush, acquired
LOCK_open and dived into sub-graph inspection. Then it
encountered sub-graph corresponding to wait for metadata lock
and blocked while trying to acquire a rd-lock on
MDL_lock::m_rwlock, since some,other thread had a wr-lock on it.
When this wr-lock was released it could have happened (if there
was another pending wr-lock against this rwlock) that the rd-lock
from the first connection was left unsatisfied but at the same
time the new rd-lock request from the second connection sneaked
in and was satisfied (for this to be possible the second
rd-request should come exactly after the wr-lock is released but
before pending the wr-lock manages to grab rwlock, which is
possible both on Linux and in our own rwlock implementation).
If this second connection continued traversing the wait-for graph
and encountered a sub-graph representing a wait for flush it tried
to acquire LOCK_open and thus the deadlock was created.
The previous patch tried to workaround this problem by not
allowing the deadlock detector to lock LOCK_open mutex if
some other thread doing deadlock detection already owns it
and current search depth is greater than 0. Instead deadlock
was reported. As a result it has introduced bug #56715.
This patch solves this problem in a different way.
It introduces a new rw_pr_lock_t implementation to be used
by MDL subsystem instead of one based on Linux rwlocks or
our own rwlock implementation. This new implementation
never allows situation in which an rwlock is rd-locked and
there is a blocked pending rd-lock. Thus the situation which
has caused this bug becomes impossible with this implementation.
Due to fact that this implementation is optimized for
wr-lock/unlock scenario which is most common in the MDL
subsystem it doesn't introduce noticeable performance
regressions in sysbench tests. Moreover it significantly
improves situation for POINT_SELECT test when many
connections are used.
No test case is provided as this bug is very hard to repeat
in MTR environment but is repeatable with the help of RQG
tests.
This patch also doesn't include a test for bug #56715
"Concurrent transactions + FLUSH result in sporadical
unwarranted deadlock errors" as it takes too much time to
be run as part of normal test-suite runs.
The problem was that the x86 assembly based atomic CAS
(compare and swap) implementation could copy the wrong
value to the ebx register, where the cmpxchg8b expects
to see part of the "comparand" value. Since the original
value in the ebx register is saved in the stack (that is,
the push instruction causes the stack pointer to change),
a wrong offset could be used if the compiler decides to
put the source of the comparand value in the stack.
The solution is to copy the comparand value directly from
memory. Since the comparand value is 64-bits wide, it is
copied in two steps over to the ebx and ecx registers.
The crash during boot was caused by a DBUG_PRINT statement in fill_schema_schemata() (in
sql_show.cc). This DBUG_PRINT statement contained several instances of %s in the format
string and for one of these we gave a NULL pointer as the argument. This caused the
call to vsnprintf() to crash when running on Solaris.
The fix for this problem is to replace the call to vsnprintf() with my_vsnprintf()
which handles that a NULL pointer is passed as argumens for %s.
This patch also extends my_vsnprintf() to support %i in the format string.
