Marko Mäkelä f27e9c8947 MDEV-29694 Remove the InnoDB change buffer
The purpose of the change buffer was to reduce random disk access,
which could be useful on rotational storage, but maybe less so on
solid-state storage.
When we wished to
(1) insert a record into a non-unique secondary index,
(2) delete-mark a secondary index record,
(3) delete a secondary index record as part of purge (but not ROLLBACK),
and the B-tree leaf page where the record belongs to is not in the buffer
pool, we inserted a record into the change buffer B-tree, indexed by
the page identifier. When the page was eventually read into the buffer
pool, we looked up the change buffer B-tree for any modifications to the
page, applied these upon the completion of the read operation. This
was called the insert buffer merge.

We remove the change buffer, because it has been the source of
various hard-to-reproduce corruption bugs, including those fixed in
commit 5b9ee8d819 and
commit 165564d3c3 but not limited to them.

A downgrade will fail with a clear message starting with
commit db14eb16f9 (MDEV-30106).

buf_page_t::state: Merge IBUF_EXIST to UNFIXED and
WRITE_FIX_IBUF to WRITE_FIX.

buf_pool_t::watch[]: Remove.

trx_t: Move isolation_level, check_foreigns, check_unique_secondary,
bulk_insert into the same bit-field. The only purpose of
trx_t::check_unique_secondary is to enable bulk insert into an
empty table. It no longer enables insert buffering for UNIQUE INDEX.

btr_cur_t::thr: Remove. This field was originally needed for change
buffering. Later, its use was extended to cover SPATIAL INDEX.
Much of the time, rtr_info::thr holds this field. When it does not,
we will add parameters to SPATIAL INDEX specific functions.

ibuf_upgrade_needed(): Check if the change buffer needs to be updated.

ibuf_upgrade(): Merge and upgrade the change buffer after all redo log
has been applied. Free any pages consumed by the change buffer, and
zero out the change buffer root page to mark the upgrade completed,
and to prevent a downgrade to an earlier version.

dict_load_tablespaces(): Renamed from
dict_check_tablespaces_and_store_max_id(). This needs to be invoked
before ibuf_upgrade().

btr_cur_open_at_rnd_pos(): Specialize for use in persistent statistics.
The change buffer merge does not need this function anymore.

btr_page_alloc(): Renamed from btr_page_alloc_low(). We no longer
allocate any change buffer pages.

btr_cur_open_at_rnd_pos(): Specialize for use in persistent statistics.
The change buffer merge does not need this function anymore.

row_search_index_entry(), btr_lift_page_up(): Add a parameter thr
for the SPATIAL INDEX case.

rtr_page_split_and_insert(): Specialized from btr_page_split_and_insert().

rtr_root_raise_and_insert(): Specialized from btr_root_raise_and_insert().

Note: The support for upgrading from the MySQL 3.23 or MySQL 4.0
change buffer format that predates the MySQL 4.1 introduction of
the option innodb_file_per_table was removed in MySQL 5.6.5
as part of mysql/mysql-server@69b6241a79
and MariaDB 10.0.11 as part of 1d0f70c2f8.

In the tests innodb.log_upgrade and innodb.log_corruption, we create
valid (upgraded) change buffer pages.

/* The purpose of the change buffer was to reduce random disk access.
When we wished to

(2) delete-mark a secondary index record,
(3) delete a secondary index record as part of purge (but not ROLLBACK),
and the B-tree leaf page where the record belongs to is not in the buffer

the page identifier. When the page was eventually read into the buffer
pool, we looked up the change buffer B-tree for any modifications to the
page, applied these upon the completion of the read operation. This
was called the insert buffer merge.
There was a hash index of the change buffer B-tree, implemented as the
"change buffer bitmap". Bits in these bitmap pages indicated how full
the page roughly was, and whether any records for the page identifier
exist in the change buffer. The "free" bits had to be updated as part of
operations that modified secondary index leaf pages.
Because the change buffer has been removed, we will no longer update
any change buffer bitmap pages. Instead, on database startup, we will
check if an upgrade needs to be performed, and apply any buffered
changes if that is the case. Finally, the change buffer will be
transformed to a format that will not be recognized by earlier
versions of MariaDB Server, to prevent downgrades from causing
corruption (due to the removed updates of the bitmap pages) when the
change buffer might be enabled. */
