Analysis:
Constant table optimization of the outer query finds that
the right side of the equality is a constant that can
be used for an eq_ref access to fetch one row from t1,
and substitute t1 with a constant. Thus constant optimization
triggers evaluation of the subquery during the optimize
phase of the outer query.
The innermost subquery requires a plan with a temporary
table because with InnoDB tables the exact count of rows
is not known, and the empty tables cannot be optimzied
way. JOIN::exec for the innermost subquery substitutes
the subquery tables with a temporary table.
When EXPLAIN gets to print the tables in the innermost
subquery, EXPLAIN needs to print the name of each table
through the corresponding TABLE_LIST object. However,
the temporary table created during execution doesn't
have a corresponding TABLE_LIST, so we get a null
pointer exception.
Solution:
The solution is to forbid using expensive constant
expressions for eq_ref access for contant table
optimization. Notice that eq_ref with a subquery
providing the value is still possible during regular
execution.
When the WHERE/HAVING condition of a subquery has been transformed
by the optimizer the pointer stored the 'where'/'having' field
of the SELECT_LEX structure used for the subquery must be updated
accordingly. Otherwise the pointer may refer to an invalid item.
This can lead to the reported assertion failure for some queries
with correlated subqueries
The bug is a duplicate of MySQL's Bug#11764086,
however MySQL's fix is incomplete for MariaDB, so
this fix is slightly different.
In addition, this patch renames
Item_func_not_all::top_level() to is_top_level_item()
to make it in line with the analogous methods of
Item_in_optimizer, and Item_subselect.
Analysis:
It is possible to determine whether a predicate is
NULL-rejecting only if it is a top-level one. However,
this was not taken into account for Item_in_optimizer.
As a result, a NOT IN predicate was erroneously
considered as NULL-rejecting, and the NULL-complemented
rows generated by the outer join were rejected before
being checked by the NOT IN predicate.
Solution:
Change Item_in_optimizer to be considered as
NULL-rejecting only if it a top-level predicate.
This bug is a special case of lp:813447.
Analysis:
Constant optimization finds that the condition t2.a = 1
can be used to access the primary key of table 't2'. As
a result both outer table t1,t2 are considered as constant
when we reach the execution phase. At the same time, during
constant optimization, the IN predicate is not evaluated
because it is expensive.
When execution of the outer query reaches do_select(),
control flow enter the branch:
if (join->table_count == join->const_tables)
{ ... }
This branch checks only the WHERE and HAVING clauses,
but doesn't check the ON clauses of the query. Since the
IN predicate was not evaluated during optimization, it is
not evaluated at all, thus execution doesn't detect that
the ON clause is FALSE.
Solution:
Similar to the patch for bug lp:813447, exclude system
tables from constant substitution based on unique key
lookups if there is an expensive ON condition on the
inner table.
ALL subquery should return TRUE if subquery rowa set is empty independently
of left part. The problem was that Item_func_(eq,ne,gt,ge,lt,le) do not
call execution of second argument if first is NULL no in this case subquery
will not be executed and when Item_func_not_all calls any_value() of the
subquery or aggregation function which report that there was rows. So for
NULL < ALL (SELECT...) result was FALSE instead of TRUE.
Fix is just swapping of arguments of Item_func_(eq,ne,gt,ge,lt,le) (with
changing the operation if it is needed) so that result will be the same
(for examole a < b is equal to b > a). This fix exploit the fact that
first argument will be executed in any case.

The problem was that optimizer removes some outer references (it they are
constant for example) and the list of outer items built during prepare phase is
not actual during execution phase when we need it as the cache parameters.
First solution was use pointer on pointer on outer reference Item and
initialize temporary table on demand. This solved most problem except case
when optimiser also reduce Item which contains outer references ('OR' in
this bug test suite).
The solution is to build the list of outer reference items on execution
phase (after optimization) on demand (just before temporary table creation)
by walking Item tree and finding outer references among Item_ident
(Item_field/Item_ref) and Item_sum items.
Removed depends_on list (because it is not neede any mnore for the cache, in the place where it was used it replaced with upper_refs).
