Davi Arnaut eb58939395 Bug#42054: SELECT CURDATE() is returning bad value
The problem from a user point of view was that on Solaris the
time related functions (e.g. NOW(), SYSDATE(), etc) would always
return a fixed time.

This bug was happening due to a logic in the time retrieving
wrapper function which would only call the time() function every
half second. This interval between calls would be calculated
using the gethrtime() and the logic relied on the fact that time
returned by it is monotonic.

Unfortunately, due to bugs in the gethrtime() implementation,
there are some cases where the time returned by it can drift
(See Solaris bug id 6600939), potentially causing the interval
calculation logic to fail.

Since newer versions of Solaris (10+) have alleviated the
performance degradation associated with time(2), the solution is
to simply directly rely on time() at each invocation.

This simplification has an upside that it allows us to eliminate
a lock which was used to control access to the variables used
to track the half second interval, thus improving the overall
scalability of timekeeping related functions (e.g. NOW()).

Benchmarks runs have shown no significant degradation associated
with this change. With this, there are actually improvements in
performance for cases involving many connections.

In summary, the changes introduced by this patch are:

a) my_time() and my_micro_time_and_time() no longer use gethrtime().
   Instead, time() and gettimeofdate() are used correspondingly.

b) my_micro_time() is changed to not use gethrtime() so as to
   have the same time source as my_micro_time_and_time().
   There shouldn't be any performance impact from this change
   since this function is used only a few times during statement
   execution and, on Solaris, gettimeofday() shows acceptable
   performance.

mysys/my_getsystime.c:
  Use time() even if gethrtime() is available. Remove logic which
  relied on gethrtime() to only call time() every half second.
  Since gethrtime() is not used anymore, also remove it from
  my_micro_time() to keep a common time source.
  
  Also, function comments are cleaned up (fixed typos and wrong
  information) and converted to doxygen.
mysys/my_thr_init.c:
  Remove mutex which is no longer used.
mysys/mysys_priv.h:
  Remove mutex which is no longer used.
