NOTE: Backporting the patch to next-mr.
      
The fix proposed in BUG#35542 and BUG#31665 introduces a performance issue
when fsyncing the master.info, relay.info and relay-log.bin* after #th events.
Although such solution has been proposed to reduce the probability of corrupted
files due to a slave-crash, the performance penalty introduced by it has
made the approach impractical for highly intensive workloads.
      
In a nutshell, the option --syn-relay-log proposed in BUG#35542 and BUG#31665
simultaneously fsyncs master.info, relay-log.info and relay-log.bin* and
this is the main source of performance issues.
      
This patch introduces new options that give more control to the user on
what should be fsynced and how often:
      
   1) (--sync-master-info, integer) which syncs the master.info after #th event;
   2) (--sync-relay-log, integer) which syncs the relay-log.bin* after #th
   events.
   3) (--sync-relay-log-info, integer) which syncs the relay.info after #th
   transactions.
      
   To provide both performance and increased reliability, we recommend the following
   setup:
      
   1) --sync-master-info = 0 eventually the operating system will fsync it;
   2) --sync-relay-log = 0 eventually the operating system will fsync it;
   3) --sync-relay-log-info = 1 fsyncs it after every transaction;
      
Notice, that the previous setup does not reduce the probability of
corrupted master.info and relay-log.bin*. To overcome the issue, this patch also
introduces a recovery mechanism that right after restart throws away relay-log.bin*
retrieved from a master and updates the master.info based on the relay.info:
      
      
   4) (--relay-log-recovery, boolean) which enables a recovery mechanism that
   throws away relay-log.bin* after a crash.
      
However, it can only recover the incorrect binlog file and position in master.info,
if other informations (host, port password, etc) are corrupted or incorrect,
then this recovery mechanism will fail to work.

BUG#31665 sync_binlog should cause relay logs to be synchronized

NOTE: Backporting the patch to next-mr.
      
Add sync_relay_log option to server, this option works for relay log 
the same as option sync_binlog for binlog. This option also synchronize
master info to disk when set to non-zero value.

          vs not null

The replication was generating corrupted data, warning messages on Valgrind
and aborting on debug mode while replicating a "null" to "not null" field.
Specifically the unpack_row routine, was considering the slave's table
definition and trying to retrieve a field value, where there was nothing to be
retrieved, ignoring the fact that the value was defined as "null" by the master.
                        
To fix the problem, we proceed as follows:
                        
1 - If it is not STRICT sql_mode, implicit default values are used, regardless
if it is multi-row or single-row statement.
                        
2 - However, if it is STRICT mode, then a we do what follows:
                        
2.1 If it is a transactional engine, we do a rollback on the first NULL that is
to be set into a NOT NULL column and return an error.
                        
2.2 If it is a non-transactional engine and it is the first row to be inserted
with multi-row, we also return the error. Otherwise, we proceed with the
execution, use implicit default values and print out warning messages.
                  
Unfortunately, the current patch cannot mimic the behavior showed by the master
for updates on multi-tables and multi-row inserts. This happens because such
statements are unfolded in different row events. For instance, considering the
following updates and strict mode:
                  
(master)
create table t1 (a int);
create table t2 (a int not null);
insert into t1 values (1);
insert into t2 values (2);
update t1, t2 SET t1.a=10, t2.a=NULL;
                  
t1 would have (10) and t2 would have (0) as this would be handled as a
multi-row update. On the other hand, if we had the following updates:
                  
(master)
create table t1 (a int);
create table t2 (a int);
                  
(slave)
create table t1 (a int);
create table t2 (a int not null);
                  
(master)
insert into t1 values (1);
insert into t2 values (2);
update t1, t2 SET t1.a=10, t2.a=NULL;
                  
On the master t1 would have (10) and t2 would have (NULL). On
the slave, t1 would have (10) but the update on t1 would fail.

NOTE: Backporting the patch to next-mr.
      
The reason of  the bug was incompatibile with the master side behaviour.
INSERT query on the master is allowed to insert into a table without specifying
values of DEFAULT-less fields if sql_mode is not strict.
            
Fixed with checking sql_mode by the sql thread to decide how to react.
Non-strict sql_mode should allow Write_rows event to complete.
            
todo: warnings can be shown via show slave status, still this is a 
separate rather general issue how to show warnings for the slave threads.

WL#4828 Augment DBUG_ENTER/DBUG_EXIT to crash MySQL in different functions
-------

The assessment of the replication code in the presence of faults is extremely
import to increase reliability. In particular, one needs to know if servers
will either correctly recovery or print out appropriate error messages thus
avoiding unexpected problems in a production environment.

In order to accomplish this, the current patch refactories the debug macros
already provided in the source code and introduces three new macros that
allows to inject faults, specifically crashes, while entering or exiting a
function or method. For instance, to crash a server while returning from
the init_slave function (see module sql/slave.cc), one needs to do what
follows:

1 - Modify the source replacing DBUG_RETURN by DBUG_CRASH_RETURN;

  DBUG_CRASH_RETURN(0);

2 - Use the debug variable to activate dbug instructions:

  SET SESSION debug="+d,init_slave_crash_return";

The new macros are briefly described below:

DBUG_CRASH_ENTER (function) is equivalent to DBUG_ENTER which registers the
beginning of a function but in addition to it allows for crashing the server
while entering the function if the appropriate dbug instruction is activate.
In this case, the dbug instruction should be "+d,function_crash_enter".

DBUG_CRASH_RETURN (value) is equivalent to DBUG_RETURN which notifies the
end of a function but in addition to it allows for crashing the server
while returning from the function if the appropriate dbug instruction is
activate. In this case, the dbug instruction should be
"+d,function_crash_return". Note that "function" should be the same string
used by either the DBUG_ENTER or DBUG_CRASH_ENTER.

DBUG_CRASH_VOID_RETURN (value) is equivalent to DBUG_VOID_RETURN which
notifies the end of a function but in addition to it allows for crashing
the server while returning from the function if the appropriate dbug
instruction is activate. In this case, the dbug instruction should be
"+d,function_crash_return". Note that "function" should be the same string
used by either the DBUG_ENTER or DBUG_CRASH_ENTER.

To inject other faults, for instance, wrong return values, one should rely
on the macros already available. The current patch also removes a set of
macros that were either not being used or were redundant as other macros
could be used to provide the same feature. In the future, we also consider
dynamic instrumentation of the code.


BUG#45747 DBUG_CRASH_* is not setting the strict option
---------
      
When combining DBUG_CRASH_* with "--debug=d:t:i:A,file" the server crashes
due to a call to the abort function in the DBUG_CRASH_* macro althought the
appropriate keyword has not been set.

NOTE: Backporting the patch to next-mr.
            
The use of option log_slave_updates without log_bin was preventing the server
from starting. To fix the problem, we replaced the error message and the exit
call by a warning message.

SHOW BINLOG EVENTS does not work with relay log files. If issuing
"SHOW BINLOG EVENTS IN 'relay-log.000001'" in a non-empty relay
log file (relay-log.000001), mysql reports empty set.
            
This patch addresses this issue by extending the SHOW command
with RELAYLOG. Events in relay log files can now be inspected by
issuing SHOW RELAYLOG EVENTS [IN 'log_name'] [FROM pos] [LIMIT
[offset,] row_count].

when WL#2867 or associated fixes for 5.1 is added to solve the problem.

There is a missing check for memory allocation failure when allocating
memory for the handlerton structure. If the handlerton init function
tries to de-reference the pointer, it will cause a segmentation fault
and crash the server.

This patch fixes the problem by not calling the init function if memory
allocation failed, and instead prints an informative error message and
reports the error to the caller.

            
Adding header include file guards to files that are missing such.

When setting AUTOCOMMIT=1 after starting a transaction, the binary log
did not commit the outstanding transaction. The reason was that the binary
log commit function saw the values of the new settings, deciding that there
were nothing to commit.

Fixed the problem by moving the implicit commit to before the thread option
flags were changed, so that the binary log sees the old values of the flags
instead of the values they will take after the statement.

slave leaves slave unstable

Problem: when replicating from non-transactional to
transactional engine with autocommit off, no BEGIN/COMMIT
is written to the binlog. When the slave replicates, it
will start a transaction that never ends.

Fix: Force autocommit=on on slave by always replicating
autocommit=1 from the master.
