BOGUS "THE TABLE MYSQL.PROC IS MISSING,..."

There was a race condition between loading a stored routine
(function/procedure/trigger) specified by fully qualified name
SCHEMA_NAME.PROC_NAME and dropping the stored routine database.

The problem was that there is a window for race condition when one server
thread tries to load a stored routine being executed and the other thread
tries to drop the stored routine schema.

This condition race window exists in implementation of function
mysql_change_db() called by db_load_routine() during loading of stored
routine to cache. Function mysql_change_db() calls check_db_dir_existence()
that might failed because specified database was dropped during concurrent
execution of DROP SCHEMA statement. db_load_routine() calls mysql_change_db()
with flag 'force_switch' set to 'true' value so when referenced db is not found
then my_error() is not called and function mysql_change_db() returns ok.
This shadows information about schema opening error in db_load_routine().
Then db_load_routine() makes attempt to parse stored routine that is failed.
This makes to return error to sp_cache_routines_and_add_tables_aux() but since
during error generation a call to my_error wasn't made and hence
THD::main_da wasn't set we set the generic "mysql.proc table corrupt" error
when running sp_cache_routines_and_add_tables_aux().

The fix is to install an error handler inside db_load_routine() for
the mysql_op_change_db() call, and check later if the ER_BAD_DB_ERROR
was caught.

This patch was already pushed to mysql-5.5 by Inaam Rana.

Fix a failure of the re-enabled innodb-index.test in the embedded server.
Apparently, the embedded server does not default to ENGINE=InnoDB when
copying an InnoDB table by CREATE TABLE t2 SELECT * FROM t1;

Coalescing of free buf_page_t descriptors can prove to be one severe
bottleneck in performance of compression. One such workload where it
hurts badly is DROP TABLE. This patch removes buf_page_t allocations
from buf_buddy and uses ut_malloc instead.
In order to further reduce overhead of colaescing we no longer attempt
to coalesce a block if the corresponding free_list is less than 16 in
size.

This patch fixes a typo in a YaSSL error message.

TO POSITION FIRST CAN CAUSE DATA TO BE CORRUPTED".
 
ALTER TABLE MODIFY/CHANGE ... FIRST did nothing except renaming
columns if new version of the table had exactly the same 
structure as the old one (i.e. as result of such statement, names 
of columns changed their order as specified but data in columns 
didn't). The same thing happened for ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN/ADD 
COLUMN statements which were supposed to produce new version of
table with exactly the same structure as the old version of table.
I.e. in the latter case the result was the same as if old column 
was renamed instead of being dropped and new column with default
as value being created.
 
Both these problems were caused by the fact that ALTER TABLE
implementation incorrectly interpreted both these situations as 
simple renaming of columns and assumed that in-place ALTER TABLE
algorithm could have been used for them.
 
This patch fixes this problem by ensuring that in cases when some
column is moved to the first position or some column is dropped
the default ALTER TABLE algorithm involving table copying is 
always used. This is achieved by detecting such situations in
mysql_prepare_alter_table() and setting Alter_info::change_level
to ALTER_TABLE_DATA_CHANGED for them.

There is an apparent problem with page_zip_clear_rec().
In btr_cur_optimistic_update() we do this:

	page_cur_delete_rec(page_cursor, index, offsets, mtr);
...
	rec = btr_cur_insert_if_possible(cursor, new_entry, 0/*n_ext*/, mtr);
	ut_a(rec); /* <- We calculated above the insert would fit */

The problem is that page_cur_delete_rec() could fill the modification
log while doing page_zip_clear_rec(), requiring recompression for the
btr_cur_insert_if_possible(). In a pathological case, the data could
fail to recompress.

page_zip_clear_rec(): Leave the page modification log alone. Only
clear the necessary fields.

Replace UNIV_BLOB_NULL_DEBUG with UNIV_DEBUG||UNIV_BLOB_LIGHT_DEBUG. 
Fix known bogus failures.

btr_cur_optimistic_update(): If rec_offs_any_null_extern(), assert that
the current transaction is an incomplete transaction that is being
rolled back in crash recovery.

row_build(): If rec_offs_any_null_extern(), assert that the transaction
that last updated the record was recovered during crash recovery
(and will soon be rolled back).

adjust. If adjust=TRUE, adjust the cursor position after compressing
the page.

btr_lift_page_up(): Return a pointer to the father page.

BTR_KEEP_POS_FLAG: A new flag for btr_cur_pessimistic_update().

btr_cur_pessimistic_update(): If *big_rec != NULL and flags &
BTR_KEEP_POS_FLAG, keep the cursor positioned on the updated record.
Also, do not release the index tree x-lock if *big_rec != NULL.

btr_cur_mtr_commit_and_start(): Commits and restarts a
mini-transaction so that it will retain an x-lock on index->lock and
the page of the cursor. This is invoked when
btr_cur_pessimistic_update() returns *big_rec != NULL.

In all callers of btr_cur_pessimistic_update() that do not pass
BTR_KEEP_POS_FLAG, assert that *big_rec == NULL.

btr_cur_compress(): Unused function [in the built-in MySQL 5.1], remove.

returns a big_rec, invoke btr_cur_mtr_commit_and_start() in order to
commit and start the mini-transaction without releasing the x-locks on
index->lock and the cursor page, and write the big_rec. Releasing the
page latch in mtr_commit() caused a race condition.

btr_cur_pessimistic_update(). If it returns a big_rec, invoke
btr_cur_mtr_commit_and_start() in order to commit and start the
mini-transaction without releasing the x-locks on index->lock and the

Some ut_a(!rec_offs_any_null_extern()) assertion failures are indicating
genuine BLOB bugs, others are bogus failures when rolling back incomplete
transactions at crash recovery. This needs more work, and until I get a
chance to work on it, other testing must not be disrupted by this.

SYNTAX TRIGGERS IN ANY WAY

Table with triggers which were using deprecated (5.0-only) syntax became
unavailable for any DML and DDL after upgrade to 5.1 version of server.
Attempt to execute any statement on such a table resulted in parsing
error reported. Since this included DROP TRIGGER and DROP TABLE
statements (actually, the latter was allowed but was not functioning
properly for such tables) it was impossible to fix the problem without
manual operations on .TRG and .TRN files in data directory.

The problem was that failure to parse trigger body (due to 5.0-only
syntax) when opening trigger file for a table prevented the table
from being open. This made all operations on the table impossible
(except DROP TABLE which due to peculiarity in its implementation
dropped the table but left trigger files around).

This patch solves this problem by silencing error which occurs when
we parse trigger body during table open. Error message is preserved
for the future use and table is marked as having a broken trigger.
We also try to analyze parse tree to recover trigger name, which
will be needed in order to drop the broken trigger. DML statements
which invoke triggers on the table marked as having broken trigger
are prohibited and emit saved error message. The same happens for
DDL which change triggers except DROP TRIGGER and DROP TABLE which
try their best to do what was requested. Table becomes no longer
marked as having broken trigger when last such trigger is dropped.

row_build(): The record may contain null BLOB pointers when the server
is rolling back an insert that was interrupted by a server crash.

THE EVENT STATUS.

Any ALTER EVENT statement on a disabled event enabled it back
(unless this ALTER EVENT statement explicitly disabled the event).

The problem was that during processing of an ALTER EVENT statement
value of status field was overwritten unconditionally even if new
value was not specified explicitly. As a consequence this field
was set to default value for status which corresponds to ENABLE.

The solution is to check if status field was explicitly specified in
ALTER EVENT statement before assigning new value to status field.

If UNIV_DEBUG or UNIV_BLOB_LIGHT_DEBUG is enabled, add
!rec_offs_any_null_extern() assertions, ensuring that records do not
contain null pointers to externally stored columns in inappropriate
places.

btr_cur_optimistic_update(): Assert !rec_offs_any_null_extern().
Incomplete records must never be updated or deleted. This assertion
will cover also the pessimistic route.

row_build(): Assert !rec_offs_any_null_extern(). Search tuples must
never be built from incomplete index entries.

row_rec_to_index_entry(): Assert !rec_offs_any_null_extern() unless
ROW_COPY_DATA is requested. ROW_COPY_DATA is used for
multi-versioning, and therefore it might be valid to copy the most
recent (uncommitted) version while it contains a null pointer to
off-page columns.

row_vers_build_for_consistent_read(),
row_vers_build_for_semi_consistent_read(): Assert !rec_offs_any_null_extern()
on all versions except the most recent one.

trx_undo_prev_version_build(): Assert !rec_offs_any_null_extern() on
the previous version.

Problem: in case of wrong data insert into indexed GEOMETRY fields 
(e.g. NULL value for a not NULL field) MyISAM reported 
"ERROR 126 (HY000): Incorrect key file for table; try to repair it"
due to misuse of the key deletion function.

Fix: always use R-tree key functions for R-tree based indexes
and B-tree key functions for B-tree based indexes.

WL#5914 remove option "--all" of the "perror" program.
In 5.5 we just give a deprecation warning; in trunk we remove the option.

Re-enable a test that was disabled as collateral damage.

Starting with MySQL 5.5, queries will acquire and hold a shared meta-data lock
(MDL) on tables they process, until the transaction is committed or
rolled back. This will prevent DDL operations on the tables, such as creating
an index.

innodb-index.test: Use a second table for creating the index. The index will
still be "too new" for the transaction that was started before the index
creation was started.

Bug 12635227 - 61188: DROP TABLE EXTREMELY SLOW

TO POSITION FIRST CAN CAUSE DATA TO BE CORRUPTED" into
mysql-5.5 tree.

Bug 12430414 - THE TEST PERFSCHEMA.SELECTS.TEST CAN AFFECT SUCCEEDING TESTS
Bug 12430599 - THE TEST PERFSCHEMA.ONE_THREAD_PER_CON. CAN AFFECT SUCCEEDING TESTS
Bug 12431153 - THE TEST PERFSCHEMA.PFS_UPGRADE CAN AFFECT SUCCEEDING TEST

GRADUALLY IF A TRIGGER EXISTS".

This bug manifested itself in two ways:

- Firstly execution of any data-changing statement which
  required prelocking (i.e. involved stored function or
  trigger) as part of transaction slowed down a bit all
  subsequent statements in this transaction. So performance
  in transaction which periodically involved such statements
  gradually degraded over time.
- Secondly execution of any data-changing statement which
  required prelocking as part of transaction prevented
  concurrent FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK from proceeding
  until the end of transaction instead of end of particular
  statement.
  
The problem was caused by incorrect handling of metadata lock
used in FTWRL implementation for statements requiring prelocked 
mode. 
Each statement which changes data acquires global IX lock
with STATEMENT duration. This lock is supposed to block 
concurrent FTWRL from proceeding until the statement ends.

When entering prelocked mode, durations of all metadata locks
acquired so far were changed to EXPLICIT, to prevent 
substatements from releasing these locks. When prelocked mode
was left, durations of metadata locks were changed to
TRANSACTIONAL (with a few exceptions) so they can be properly
released at the end of transaction. 
Unfortunately, this meant that the global IX lock blocking
FTWRL with STATEMENT duration was moved to TRANSACTIONAL
duration after execution of statement requiring prelocking.

Since each subsequent statement that required prelocking and
tried to acquire global IX lock with STATEMENT duration got
a new instance of MDL_ticket, which was later moved to
TRANSACTIONAL duration, this led to unwarranted growth of
number of tickets with TRANSACITONAL duration in this
connection's MDL_context. As result searching for other
tickets in it became slow and acquisition of other metadata
locks by this transaction started to hog CPU.

Moreover, this also meant that after execution of statement
requiring prelocking concurrent FTWRL was blocked
until the end of transaction instead of end of statement.

This patch solves this problem by not moving locks to EXPLICIT
duration when thread enters prelocked mode (unless it is a real 
LOCK TABLES mode). This step turned out to be not really 
necessary as substatements don't try to release metadata locks.
Consequently, the global IX lock blocking FTWRL keeps its
STATEMENT duration and is properly released at the end of
statement and the above issue goes away.

Issue:
------
New test case mysql_embedded.test was failing on pb2.

Description:
------------
To run this test case executable libmysqld/examples/mysql_embedded is required.
But as per /libmysqld/examples/cmake_install.cmake this executable doesn't get
copied to <install_dir> when mysql is installed at <install_dir>.That is the
reason it was passing in my local branch and failed on pb2 when pushed.

Solution;
---------
Added code in mysql-test-run.pl, which will try to see if this file exists.If
It doesn't exist, test case will be skipped with a skip message. New code in
mysql-test-run.pl looks only for directory libmysqld/examples/mysql_embedded
because this is the only place where this file could/does exist.

              UPDATED TWICE

For multi update it is not allowed to update a column
of a table if that table is accessed through multiple aliases
and either
1) the updated column is used as partitioning key
2) the updated column is part of the primary key 
   and the primary key is clustered

This check is done in unsafe_key_update().

The bug was that for case 2), it was checked whether
updated_column_number == table_share->primary_key 
However, the primary_key variable is the index number of the 
primary key, not a column number.

Prior to this bugfix, the first column was wrongly believed to be
the primary key. The columns covered by an index is found in
table->key_info[idx_number]->key_part. The bugfix is to check if
any of the columns in the keyparts of the primary key are
updated.

The user-visible effect is that for storage engines with
clustered primary key (e.g. InnoDB but not MyISAM) queries
like 
"UPDATE t1 AS A JOIN t2 AS B SET A.primkey=..."
will now error with 
"ERROR HY000: Primary key/partition key update is not allowed 
since the table is updated both as 'A' and 'B'." 
instead of 
"ERROR 1032 (HY000): Can't find record in 't1_tb'"
even if primkey is not the first column in the table. This 
was the intended behavior of bugfix 11764529.

can't parse relative paths "higher" than 3 levels up

When trying to LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE using a relative path with 3 or
more levels up in the directory hierarchy, mysqld wrongly parses 
the path and as a consequence, can't find the file.

This bug was introduced by patch for bug#58205.
The reason for bug is that implementaiton of function cleanup_dirname()
doesn't take into account the begin of buffer being processed during
handling of path to file.
