Currently SHOW MASTER LOGS and SHOW BINARY LOGS require the SUPER
privilege. Monitoring tools (such as MEM) often want to check this
output - for instance MEM generates the SUM of the sizes of the logs
reported here, and puts that in the Replication overview within the MEM
Dashboard.
However, because of the SUPER requirement, these tools often have an
account that holds open the connection whilst monitoring, and can lock
out administrators when the server gets overloaded and reaches
max_connections - there is already another SUPER privileged account
connected, the "monitor".
As SHOW MASTER STATUS, and all other replication related statements,
return with either REPLICATION CLIENT or SUPER privileges, this worklog
is to make SHOW MASTER LOGS and SHOW BINARY LOGS be consistent with this
as well, and allow both of these commands with either SUPER or
REPLICATION CLIENT.
This allows monitoring tools to not require a SUPER privilege any more,
so is safer in overloaded situations, as well as being more secure, as
lighter privileges can be given to users of such tools or scripts.

PROBLEM:
With respect to problem in the bug description, we
exhibit different behaviors for the two tables
presented, because innodb statistics (rec_per_key
in this case) are updated for the first table
and not so for the second one. As a result the
query plan gets changed in test_if_skip_sort_order
to use 'index' scan. Hence the difference in the
explain output. (NOTE: We can reproduce the problem
with first table by reducing the number of tuples
and changing the table structure)
The varied output w.r.t the query on the second table
is because of the result in the query plan change.
When a query plan is changed to use 'index' scan,
after the call to test_if_skip_sort_order, we set
keyread to TRUE immedietly. If for some reason
we drop this index scan for a filesort later on,
we fetch only the keys not the entire tuple.
As a result we would see junk values in the result set.
Following is the code flow:
Call test_if_skip_sort_order
-Choose an index to give sorted output
-If this is a covering index, set_keyread to TRUE
-Set the scan to INDEX scan
Call test_if_skip_sort_order second time
-Index is not chosen (note that we do not pass the
actual limit value second time. Hence we do not choose
index scan second time which in itself is a bug fixed
in 5.6 with WL#5558)
-goto filesort
Call filesort
-Create quick range on a different index
-Since keyread is set to TRUE, we fetch only the columns of
the index
-results in the required columns are not fetched
FIX:
Remove the call to set_keyread(TRUE) from
test_if_skip_sort_order. The access function which is
'join_read_first' or 'join_read_last' calls set_keyread anyways.
Background :
In mysql-5.1, in a fix for bug#47485, code has been changed for
mysql client (libmysql/libmysql.c) but corresponding code was not
changed for embedded mysql. In that code change, after execution
of a statement, mysql_stmt_store_result() checks for mysql->state
to be MYSQL_STATUS_STATEMENT_GET_RESULT, instead of
MYSQL_STATUS_GET_RESULT (earlier).
Reason:
In embedded mysql code, after execution, mysql->state was not
set to MYSQL_STATUS_STATEMENT_GET_RESULT, so it was throwing
OUT_OF_SYNC error.
Fix:
Fixed the code in libmysqld/lib_sql.cc to have mysql->state
to be set to MYSQL_STATUS_STATEMENT_GET_RESULT after execution.
Bug#13639204 64111: CRASH ON SELECT SUBQUERY WITH NON UNIQUE INDEX
The crash happened due to wrong calculation
of key length during creation of reference for
sort order index. The problem is that
keyuse->used_tables can have OUTER_REF_TABLE_BIT enabled
but used_tables parameter(create_ref_for_key() func) does
not have it. So key parts which have OUTER_REF_TABLE_BIT
are ommited and it could lead to incorrect key length
calculation(zero key length).
Analysis:
-------------------------------
According to the Manual
(http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/identifier-case-sensitivity.html):
"Column, index, stored routine, and event names are not case sensitive on any
platform, nor are column aliases."
In other words, 'lower_case_table_names' does not affect the behaviour of
those identifiers.
On the other hand, trigger names are case sensitive on some platforms,
and case insensitive on others. 'lower_case_table_names' does not affect
the behaviour of trigger names either.
The bug was that SHOW statements did case sensitive comparison
for stored procedure / stored function / event names.
Fix:
Modified the code so that comparison in case insensitive for routines
and events for "SHOW" operation.
As part of this commit, only fixing the test failures due to the actual code fix.
Change the type of purge_sys_t::n_pages_handled and purge_sys_t::handle_limit
to ulonglong from ulint. On a 32 bit system doing ~700 deletes per second the
counters can overflow in ~3.5 months, if they are 32 bit.

There is a race in lock_validate() where we try to access a page
without ensuring that the tablespace stays valid during the operation
i.e.: it is not deleted. This patch tries to fix that by using an
existing flag (the flag is renamed to make it's name more generic
in line with it's new use).

rw_lock::writer_thread field contains the thread id of current x-holder
or wait-x thread. This field is un-initialized at lock creation and is
written to for the first time when an attempt is made to x-lock.
Current code considers ::writer_thread as valid memory region only when
the lock is held in x-mode (or there is an x-waiter). This is an
overkill and it generates valgrind warnings.
The fix is to consider ::writer_thread as valid memory region once it
has been written to.
Reasoning:
==========
The ::writer_thread can be safely considered valid because:
* We only ever do comparison with current calling threads id.
* We only ever do comparison when ::recursive flag is set
* We always unset ::recursive flag in x-unlock
* Same thread cannot be unlocking and attempting to lock at the same
time
* thread_id recycling is not an issue because before an id is recycled
the thread must leave innodb meaning it must release all locks meaning
it must unset ::recursive flag.
BUG#64503: mysql frequently ignores --relay-log-space-limit
When the SQL thread goes to sleep, waiting for more events, it sets
the flag ignore_log_space_limit to true. This gives the IO thread a
chance to queue some more events and ultimately the SQL thread will be
able to purge the log once it is rotated. By then the SQL thread
resets the ignore_log_space_limit to false. However, between the time
the SQL thread has set the ignore flag and the time it resets it, the
IO thread will be queuing events in the relay log, possibly going way
over the limit.
This patch makes the IO and SQL thread to synchronize when they reach
the space limit and only ask for one event at a time. Thus the SQL
thread sets ignore_log_space_limit flag and the IO thread resets it to
false everytime it processes one more event. In addition, everytime
the SQL thread processes the next event, and the limit has been
reached, it checks if the IO thread should rotate. If it should, it
instructs the IO thread to rotate, giving the SQL thread a chance to
purge the logs (freeing space). Finally, this patch removes the
resetting of the ignore_log_space_limit flag from purge_first_log,
because this is now reset by the IO thread every time it processes the
next event when the limit has been reached.
If the SQL thread is in a transaction, it cannot purge so, there is no
point in asking the IO thread to rotate. The only thing it can do is
to ask for more events until the transaction is over (then it can ask
the IO to rotate and purge the log right away). Otherwise, there would
be a deadlock (SQL would not be able to purge and IO thread would not
be able to queue events so that the SQL would finish the transaction).
Problem: Grouping results by VALUES(alias for string literal) causes
the server to crash.
Item_insert_values is not constructed to handle other types of
arguments than field and reference to field. In this case, the
argument is an Item_string, and this causes
Item_insert_values::fix_fields() to crash.
Fix: Issue an error message when the argument to Item_insert_values is
not a field or a reference to a field.
This is slightly in breach with documentation, which states that
VALUES should return NULL, but the error message is only issued in
cases where the server otherwise would crash, so there is no change in
behavior for queries that already work. Future versions will restrict
syntax so that using VALUES in this way is illegal.

This bug has been there at least since MySQL 4.0.9. (Before 4.0.9, the
code probably was even more severely broken.)
btr_pcur_restore_position(): When cursor restoration fails, before
invoking btr_pcur_store_position() move to the previous or next record
unless cursor->rel_pos==BTR_PCUR_ON or the record was not a user
record.
This bug can cause skipped records when btr_pcur_store_position() is
called on the last record of a page. A symptom would be record count
mismatch in CHECK TABLE, or failure to find a record to delete-mark or
update or purge. The following operations should be affected by the
bug:
* row_search_for_mysql(): SELECT, UPDATE, REPLACE, CHECK TABLE,
(almost anything else than INSERT)
* foreign key CASCADE operations
* row_merge_read_clustered_index(): index creation (since MySQL 5.1
InnoDB Plugin)
* multi-threaded purge (after MySQL 5.5): not sure, but it might fail
to purge some records
Not all callers of btr_pcur_restore_position() should be affected.
Anything that asserts or checks that restoration succeeds is
unaffected. For example, cursor restoration on the change buffer tree
should always succeed, because access is being protected by additional
latches. Likewise, rollback, or any code accesses data dictionary
tables while holding dict_sys->mutex should be safe.

A defect in the subquery substitution code may lead to a server crash:
setting substitution's name should be followed by setting its length
(to keep them in sync).
Problem:
lack of incoming geometry data validation may
lead to a server crash when ISCLOSED() function called.
Solution:
necessary incoming data check added.
There are two threads. In one thread, dml operation is going on
involving cascaded update operation. In another thread, alter
table add foreign key constraint is happening. Under these
circumstances, it is possible for the dml thread to access a
dict_foreign_t object that has been freed by the ddl thread.
The debug sync test case provides the sequence of operations.
Without fix, the test case will crash the server (because of
newly added assert). With fix, the alter table stmt will return
an error message.

sql_mode "NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES": When user want to use backslash as character input,
instead of escape character in a string literal then sql_mode can be set to
"NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES". With this mode enabled, backslash becomes an ordinary
character like any other.
SQL_MODE set applies to the current client session. And while creating the stored
procedure, MySQL stores the current sql_mode and always executes the stored
procedure in sql_mode stored with the Procedure, regardless of the server SQL
mode in effect when the routine is invoked.
In the scenario (for which bug is reported), the routine is created with
sql_mode=NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES. And routine is executed with the invoker sql_mode
is "" (NOT SET) by executing statement "call testp('Axel\'s')".
Since invoker sql_mode is "" (NOT_SET), the '\' in 'Axel\'s'(argument to function)
is considered as escape character and column "a" (of table "t1") values are
updated with "Axel's". The binary log generated for above update operation is as below,
set sql_mode=XXXXXX (for no_backslash_escapes)
update test.t1 set a= NAME_CONST('var',_latin1'Axel\'s' COLLATE 'latin1_swedish_ci');
While logging stored procedure statements, the local variables (params) used in
statements are replaced with the NAME_CONST(var_name, var_value) (Internal function)
(http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/miscellaneous-functions.html#function_name-const)
On slave, these logs are applied. NAME_CONST is parsed to get the variable and its
value. Since, stored procedure is created with sql_mode="NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES", the sql_mode
is also logged in. So that at slave this sql_mode is set before executing the statements
of routine. So at slave, sql_mode is set to "NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES" and then while
parsing NAME_CONST of string variable, '\' is considered as NON ESCAPE character
and parsing reported error for "'" (as we have only one "'" no backslash).
At slave, parsing was proper with sql_mode "NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES".
But above error reported while writing bin log, "'" (of Axel's) is escaped with
"\" character. Actually, all special characters (n, r, ', ", \, 0...) are escaped
while writing NAME_CONST for string variable(param, local variable) in bin log
irrespective of "NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES" sql_mode. So, basically, the problem is
that logging string parameter does not take into account sql_mode value.
Fix:
========================
So when sql_mode is set to "NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES", escaping characters as
(n, r, ', ", \, 0...) should be avoided. To do so, added a check to not to
escape such characters while writing NAME_CONST for string variables in bin
log.
And when sql_mode is set to NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES, quote character "'" is
represented as ''.
