Version "5.1.42 SUSE MySQL RPM"
When a query was using a DATE or DATETIME value formatted
using different formatting than "yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM:SS", a
query with a greater-or-equal '>=' condition matched only
greater values in an indexed TIMESTAMP column.
The problem was introduced by the fix for the bug 46362
and partially solved (for DATE and DATETIME columns only)
by the fix for the bug 47925.
The stored_field_cmp_to_item function has been modified
to take into account TIMESTAMP columns like we do for
DATE and DATETIME columns.
Before this fix, the server could crash during shutdown,
due to race conditions, that occured when killing the server.
In particular, the performance schema instrumentation handle,
PSI_server, and the performance schema itself would be cleaned up
too soon, causing race conditions with a running kill server thread.
The specifics of the race condition found are that:
the main thread executing "PSI_server= NULL" can cause crashes in
other threads still running, which are executing
"if (PSI_server != NULL) PSI_server->xxx()"
as part of the performance schema instrumentation.
While the bug was reported for the kill server thread,
in theory the same crash could happen with the signal thread,
as found by code analysis.
The correct fix would be to only shutdown the performance schema
and set PSI_server to NULL after every other thread is guaranteed
to be completed, including the kill_server_thread.
However, due to the existing mysqld server design, this is not the case.
See in particular bug number 56666.
The work around used to fix this race condition is to simply not
perform the call to shutdown_performance_schema() when the server exits,
and to keep the PSI_server pointer unchanged.
This will cause memory leaks to be reported by tools like valgrind,
but no memory leak actually happen because the process is about to exit().
As a result, the file mysql-test/valgrind.supp has been updated
to filter out these false positive messages.
This code has been tested with running in a loop the following
tests in parallel, which have been known to fail with race conditions
in the past:
- rpl_change_master
- binlog_max_extension
- events_restart
- rpl_heartbeat_basic
and no crash of test failure has been seen with the changed code.
Before this fix, it was possible to build the server:
- with the performance schema
- with a dummy implementation of my_atomic (MY_ATOMIC_MODE_DUMMY).
In this case, the resulting binary will just crash,
as this configuration is not supported.
This fix enforces that the build will fail with a compilation error in this
configuration, instead of resulting in a broken binary.
The patch caused some test failures when merged to 5.5 because,
unlike 5.1, it utilizes Item_cache_row to actually cache row
values. The problem was that Item_cache_row::bring_value()
essentially did nothing. In particular, it did not update its
null_value, so all Item_cache_row objects were always having
their null_values set to TRUE. This went unnoticed previously,
but now when Arg_comparator::compare_row() actually depends on
the row's null_value to evaluate the comparison, the problem
has surfaced.
Fixed by calling the underlying item's bring_value() and
updating null_value in Item_cache_row::bring_value().
Since the problem also exists in 5.1 code (albeit hidden, since
the relevant code is not used anywhere), the addendum patch is
against 5.1.
result
Row subqueries producing no rows were not handled as UNKNOWN
values in row comparison expressions.
That was a result of the following two problems:
1. Item_singlerow_subselect did not mark the resulting row
value as NULL/UNKNOWN when no rows were produced.
2. Arg_comparator::compare_row() did not take into account that
a whole argument may be NULL rather than just individual scalar
values.
Before bug#34384 was fixed, the above problems were hidden
because an uninitialized (i.e. without any stored value) cached
object would appear as NULL for scalar values in a row subquery
returning an empty result. After the fix
Arg_comparator::compare_row() would try to evaluate
uninitialized cached objects.
Fixed by removing the aforementioned problems.
With recent changes in the performance schema default sizing parameters,
the memory used by a mysqld binary increased accordingly.
This negatively affects the MTR test suite,
because running several tests in parallel now consumes more ressources.
The fix is to leave the default production values unchanged,
and to configure the MTR environment to limit memory
used when running tests in the test suite, which is ok
because only a few objects are typically used within a test script.
This fix:
- changed the default configuration in MTR to use less memory
- adjusted the performance schema tests accordingly
Note that 1,000 mutex instances was too short and caused test failures
in the past in team trees, so the default used is now 10,000 in MTR.
The amount of memory used by the performance schema itself
can be observed with the statement SHOW ENGINE PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA STATUS
After installation from RPM, server is run under root, not mysql user
The problem was that in the cmake way of building
the variable "MYSQLD_USER" was not set and propagated.
In the script "mysqld_safe" its value is used as the
name of the user who should run the server process.
The fix is to explicitly set this variable to "mysql"
and propagate it in the build process.
It was analyzed and proposed by Jonathan Perkin.
The EXISTS transformation has additional switches to catch the known corner
cases that appear when transforming an IN predicate into EXISTS. Guarded
conditions are used which are deactivated when a NULL value is seen in the
outer expression's row. When the inner query block supplies NULL values,
however, they are filtered out because no distinction is made between the
guarded conditions; guarded NOT x IS NULL conditions in the HAVING clause that
filter out NULL values cannot be de-activated in isolation from those that
match values or from the outer expression or NULL's.
The above problem is handled by making the guarded conditions remember whether
they have rejected a NULL value or not, and index access methods are taking
this into account as well.
The bug consisted of
1) Not resetting the property for every nested loop iteration on the inner
query's result.
2) Not propagating the NULL result properly from inner query to IN optimizer.
3) A hack that may or may not have been needed at some point. According to a
comment it was aimed to fix#2 by returning NULL when FALSE was actually
the result. This caused failures when #2 was properly fixed. The hack is
now removed.
The fix resolves all three points.
multi-table UPDATE IGNORE.
The problem was that if there was an active SELECT statement
during trigger execution, an error risen during the execution
may cause a crash. The fix is to temporary reset LEX::current_select
before trigger execution and restore it afterwards. This way
errors risen during the trigger execution are processed as
if there was no active SELECT.
inited==INDEX
When an error occurs while sending the data in a temporary table there was no
cleanup performed. This caused a failed assertion in the case when different
access methods were used for populating the table vs. retrieving the data from
the table if IGNORE was specified and sql_safe_updates = 0. In this case
execution continues, but the handler expects to continue with the access
method used for row retrieval.
Fixed by doing the cleanup even if errors occur.
The Item_func_str_to_date class wasn't providing correct integer DATETIME
representation as expected. This led to wrong comparison result and didn't
allowed the STR_TO_DATE function to be used with indexes.
Also, STR_TO_DATE function was inconsisted on throwing warnings/errors.
Fixed now.
val_int and result_as_longlong methods were added to the Item_func_str_to_date
class.
MDL deadlock detector".
Deadlock could have occurred when workload containing mix
of DML, DDL and FLUSH TABLES statements affecting same
set of tables was executed in heavily concurrent environment.
This deadlock occurred when several connections tried to
perform deadlock detection in metadata locking subsystem.
The first connection started traversing wait-for graph,
encountered sub-graph representing wait for flush, acquired
LOCK_open and dived into sub-graph inspection. When it has
encounterd sub-graph corresponding to wait for metadata lock
and blocked while trying to acquire rd-lock on
MDL_lock::m_rwlock (*) protecting this subgraph, since some
other thread had wr-lock on it. When this wr-lock was released
it could have happened (if there was other pending wr-lock
against this rwlock) that rd-lock from the first connection
was left unsatisfied but at the same time new rd-lock request
from the second connection sneaked in and was satisfied (for
this to be possible second rd- request should come exactly
after wr-lock is released but before pending wr-lock manages
to grab rwlock, which is possible both on Linux and in our
own rwlock implementation). If this second connection
continued traversing wait-for graph and encountered sub-graph
representing wait for flush it tried to acquire LOCK_open
and thus deadlock was created.
This patch tries to workaround this problem but not allowing
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 is reported.
Other possible solutions are either known to have negative
effects on performance or require much more time for proper
implementation and testing.
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.
In sql/log.c, member function wait_for_update_bin_log, a condition is entered with
THD::enter_cond but is not exited. This might leave dangling references to the
mutex/condition in the per-thread information area.
To fix the problem, we call exit_cond to properly remove references to the mutex,
LOCK_log.
On Solaris with version 3.4.6, the ha_example.so shared library is built
with DTrace and the server is built without DTrace support. This occurs
because dtrace.cmake disables DTrace support for 3.4.6, but still set
HAVE_DTRACE, which causes probes_mysql.h to include probes_mysql_dtrace.h
instead of probes_mysql_nodtrace.h.
This patch fixes this by not setting HAVE_DTRACE on Solaris for GCC 3.4.6.
The problem was not caused by a change in the client,
rather by the tests using the Windows built-in "echo"
and not the one built by MySQL.
This again happened because the binary was missing in the package,
caused by the wrong macro being used to build it in "cmake".

Server was unable to find existing or explicitly created supporting
index for foreign key if corresponding statement clause used field
names in case different than one used in key specification and created
yet another supporting index.
In cases when name of constraint (and thus name of generated index)
was the same as name of existing/explicitly created index this led
to duplicate key name error.
The problem was that unlike all other code Key_part_spec::operator==()
compared field names in case sensitive fashion. As result routines
responsible for getting rid of redundant generated supporting indexes
for foreign key were not working properly for versions of field names
using different cases.
