c711ce6726 Bug #36022 please log more information about "Sort aborted" queries
Write an additional warning message to the server log, 
explaining why a sort operation is aborted.

The output in mysqld.err will look something like:
110127 15:07:54 [ERROR] mysqld: Sort aborted: Out of memory (Needed 24 bytes)
110127 15:07:54 [ERROR] mysqld: Out of sort memory, consider increasing server sort buffer size
110127 15:07:54 [ERROR] mysqld: Sort aborted: Out of sort memory, consider increasing server sort buffer size
110127 15:07:54 [ERROR] mysqld: Sort aborted: Incorrect number of arguments for FUNCTION test.f1; expected 0, got 1

If --log-warn=2 is enabled, we output information about host/user/query as well.


include/my_sys.h:
  Update comment for ME_NOREFRESH
mysql-test/include/mtr_warnings.sql:
  Remove global filtering of "Out of sort memory", let each individual test set it instead.
mysql-test/r/filesort_debug.result:
  New test case.
mysql-test/r/order_by.result:
  Ignore "Out of memory" for this test.
mysql-test/t/filesort_debug.test:

sql/filesort.cc:
  Output an explanation using the error message from the THD Diagnostics_area.
sql/protocol.cc:
  Do not DBUG_RETURN(function_call_with DBUG_RETURN)
  as it messes up the call stack in the debug output.
sql/share/errmsg-utf8.txt:
  Change error message for "Out of sort memory"
sql/unireg.h:

8ede0759c3 Remove configuration preprocessor symbols 'THREAD'
and 'THREAD_SAFE_CLIENT'.
  
As of MySQL 5.5, we no longer support non-threaded
builds.   This patch removes all references to the
obsolete THREAD and THREAD_SAFE_CLIENT preprocessor
symbols.  These were used to distinguish between
threaded and non-threaded builds.

998065c3a6 Bug#51023: Mysql server crashes on SIGHUP and destroys InnoDB files
From a user perspective, the problem is that a FLUSH LOGS or SIGHUP
signal could end up associating the stdout and stderr to random
files. In the case of this bug report, the streams would end up
associated to InnoDB ibd files.

The freopen(3) function is not thread-safe on FreeBSD. What this
means is that if another thread calls open(2) during freopen()
is executing that another thread's fd returned by open(2) may get
re-associated with the file being passed to freopen(3). See FreeBSD
PR number 79887 for reference:

  http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=79887

This problem is worked around by substituting a internal hook within
the FILE structure. This avoids the loss of atomicity by not having
the original fd closed before its duplicated.

Patch based on the original work by Vasil Dimov.

include/my_sys.h:
  Export my_freopen.
mysys/my_fopen.c:
  Add a my_freopen abstraction to workaround bugs in specific OSes.
  Add a prototype for getosreldate() as older FreeBSD versions did
  not define one.
sql/log.cc:
  Move freopen abstraction code over to mysys.
  The streams are now only reopened for writing.

c5aa3313aa BUG#57953 my_load_defaults return junk argument ----args-separator---- to caller
After fix of bug#25192, load_defaults() will add an args separator
to distinguish options loaded from configure files from that provided
in the command line. One problem of this is that the args separator
would be added no matter the application need it or not.

Fixed the problem by adding an option:
  bool my_getopt_use_args_separator;
to control whether the separator will be added or not. And also
added functions:
  bool my_getopt_is_args_separator(const char* arg);
to check if the argument is the separator or not.

3f5a9c7ea0 BUG#57275 binlog_cache_size affects trx- and stmt-cache and gets twice the expected memory
After the WL#2687, the binlog_cache_size and max_binlog_cache_size affect both the
stmt-cache and the trx-cache. This means that the resource used is twice the amount
expected/defined by the user.
      
The binlog_cache_use is incremented when the stmt-cache or the trx-cache is used
and binlog_cache_disk_use is incremented when the disk space from the stmt-cache or the
trx-cache is used. This behavior does not allow to distinguish which cache may be harming
performance due to the extra disk accesses and needs to have its in-memory cache
increased.
      
To fix the problem, we introduced two new options and status variables related to the
stmt-cache:
      
  Options:
      
    . binlog_stmt_cache_size
    . max_binlog_stmt_cache_size
      
    Status Variables:
      
    . binlog_stmt_cache_use
    . binlog_stmt_cache_disk_use

So there are

  . binlog_cache_size that defines the size of the transactional cache for
  updates to transactional engines for the binary log.

  . binlog_stmt_cache_size that defines the size of the statement cache for
  updates to non-transactional engines for the binary log.

  . max_binlog_cache_size that sets the total size of the transactional
  cache.

  . max_binlog_stmt_cache_size that sets the total size of the statement
  cache.

  . binlog_cache_use that identifies the number of transactions that used the
  temporary transactional binary log cache.

  . binlog_cache_disk_use that identifies the number of transactions that used
  the temporary transactional binary log cache but that exceeded the value of
  binlog_cache_size.

  . binlog_stmt_cache_use that identifies the number of statements that used the
  temporary non-transactional binary log cache.

  . binlog_stmt_cache_disk_use that identifies the number of statements that used
  the temporary non-transactional binary log cache but that exceeded the value of
  binlog_stmt_cache_size.

include/my_sys.h:
  Updated message on disk_writes' usage.
mysql-test/extra/binlog_tests/binlog_cache_stat.test:
  Updated the test case and added code to check the new status variables
  binlog_stmt_cache_use and binlog_stmt_cache_disk_use.
mysql-test/extra/rpl_tests/rpl_binlog_max_cache_size.test:
  Updated the test case to use the new system variables max_binlog_stmt_cache_size and binlog_stmt_cache_size.
mysql-test/r/mysqld--help-notwin.result:
  Updated the result file.
mysql-test/suite/binlog/r/binlog_mixed_cache_stat.result:
  Updated the result file.
mysql-test/suite/binlog/r/binlog_row_cache_stat.result:
  Updated the result file.
mysql-test/suite/binlog/r/binlog_stm_cache_stat.result:
  Updated the result file.
mysql-test/suite/rpl/r/rpl_mixed_binlog_max_cache_size.result:
  Update the result file.
mysql-test/suite/rpl/r/rpl_row_binlog_max_cache_size.result:
  Update the result file.
mysql-test/suite/rpl/r/rpl_stm_binlog_max_cache_size.result:
  Updated the result file.
mysql-test/suite/sys_vars/inc/binlog_stmt_cache_size_basic.inc:
  Added a test case to check the binlog_stmt_cache_size.
mysql-test/suite/sys_vars/r/binlog_stmt_cache_size_basic_32.result:
  Updated the result file.
mysql-test/suite/sys_vars/r/binlog_stmt_cache_size_basic_64.result:
  Updated the result file.
mysql-test/suite/sys_vars/r/max_binlog_stmt_cache_size_basic.result:
  Updated the result file.
mysql-test/suite/sys_vars/t/binlog_stmt_cache_size_basic_32.test:
  Added a test case to check the binlog_stmt_cache_size.
mysql-test/suite/sys_vars/t/binlog_stmt_cache_size_basic_64.test:
  Added a test case to check the binlog_stmt_cache_size.
mysql-test/suite/sys_vars/t/max_binlog_cache_size_func-master.opt:
  Removed because there is no test case max_binlog_cache_size_func.
mysql-test/suite/sys_vars/t/max_binlog_stmt_cache_size_basic.test:
  Added a test case to check the system variable max_binlog_stmt_cache_size.
sql/log.cc:
  There two main changes in here:
  
    . Changed the set_write_error() as an error message is set according
    to the type of the cache.
  
    . Created the function set_binlog_cache_info where references to the
    appropriate status and system variables are set and the server can
    smoothly compute statistics and set the maximum size for each cache.
sql/log.h:
  Changed the signature of the function in order to identify the error message
  to be printed out as there is a different error code for each type of cache.
sql/mysqld.cc:
  Added new status variables binlog_stmt_cache_use and binlog_stmt_cache_disk_use.
sql/mysqld.h:
  Added new system variables max_binlog_stmt_cache_size and binlog_stmt_cache_size.
sql/share/errmsg-utf8.txt:
  Added new error message related to the statement cache.
sql/sys_vars.cc:
  Added new system variables max_binlog_stmt_cache_size and binlog_stmt_cache_size.

f8d2154c30 BUG#57108: mysqld crashes when I attempt to install plugin
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.

f56dd32bf7 Bug#34043: Server loops excessively in _checkchunk() when safemalloc is enabled
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.
