HOST WHEN IT CONTAINS WILDCARD

Description :- Incorrect access privileges are provided to a
user due to wrong sorting of users when wildcard characters
is present in the hostname.

Analysis :- Function "get_sorts()" is used to sort the
strings of user name, hostname, database name. It is used
to arrange the users in the access privilege matching order.
When a user connects, it checks in the sorted user access
privilege list and finds a corresponding matching entry for
the user. Algorithm used in "get_sort()" sorts the strings
inappropriately. As a result, when a user connects to the
server, it is mapped to incorrect user access privileges.
Algorithm used in "get_sort()" counts the number of
characters before the first occurence of any one of the
wildcard characters (single-wildcard character '_' or
multi-wildcard character '%') and sorts in that order.
As a result of inconnect sorting it treats hostname "%" and
"%.mysql.com" as equally-specific values and therefore
the order is indeterminate.

Fix:- The "get_sort()" algorithm has been modified to treat
"%" seperately. Now "get_sort()" returns a number which, if
sorted in descending order, puts strings in the following
order:-
* strings with no wildcards
* strings containg wildcards and non-wildcard characters
* single muilt-wildcard character('%')
* empty string.

Description: On an example MySQL instance with 28k empty
InnoDB tables, a specific query to information_schema.tables
and information_schema.columns leads to memory consumption
over 38GB RSS.

Analysis: In get_all_tables() call, we fill the I_S tables
from frm files and storage engine. As part of that process
we call make_table_name_list() and allocate memory for all
the 28k frm file names in the THD mem_root through
make_lex_string_root(). Since it has been called around
28k * 28k times there is a huge memory getting hogged in
THD mem_root. This causes the RSS to grow to 38GB.

Fix: As part of fix we are creating a temporary mem_root
in get_all_tables and passing it to fill_fiels(). There we
replace the THD mem_root with the temporary mem_root and
allocates the file names in temporary mem_root and frees
it once we fill the I_S tables in get_all_tables and
re-assign the original mem_root back to THD mem_root.

Note: Checked the massif out put with the fix now the memory growth is just around 580MB at peak.

Restrict when user table hashes can be viewed. Require SUPER privileges.

Description:- There is a possibility of negative array index
write associated with the function "terminal_writec()". This
is due to the assumption that there is a possibility of
getting -1 return value from the function call
"ct_visual_char()".

Analysis:- The function "terminal_writec()" is called only
from "em_delete_or_list()" and "vi_list_or_eof()" and both
these functions deal with the "^D" (ctrl+D) signal. So the
"size_t len" and "Char c" passed to "ct_visual_char()" (when
called from "terminal_writec()") is always 8 (macro
VISUAL_WIDTH_MAX is passed whose value is 8) and 4 (ASCII
value for "^D"/"ctrl+D") respectively.
Since the value of "c" is 4, "ct_chr_class()" returns -1
(macro CHTYPE_ASCIICTL is associated with -1 value). And
since value of "len" is 8, "ct_visual_char()" will always
return 2 when it is called from "terminal_writec()".
So there is no possible case so that we encounter a negative
array index write in "terminal_writec()". But since there is
a rare posibility of using "terminal_writec()" in future
enhancements, it is good handle the error case as well.

Fix:- A condition is added in "terminal_writec()" to check
whether "ct_visual_char()" is returning -1 or not. If the
return value is -1, then value 0 is returned to its calling
function "em_delete_or_list()" or "vi_list_or_eof()", which
in turn will return CC_ERROR.

NOTE:- No testcase is added since currently there is no
possible scenario to encounter this error case.

post push change: fixing valgrind failures

post push change: missed the change in mysql-5.5
(Fixing compiler warning/error)

Description:
Can't build mysql-5.5 latest source with openssl 0.9.8e.

Analysis:
Older OpenSSL versions(prior to openssl 1.0) doesn't have 'SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION' defined.
Hence the build is failing with SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION undeclared.

Fix:
Added a conditonal compilation for 'SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION'.
i.e if 'SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION' is defined then have the SSL_set_options call for OpenSSL 1.0 versions.
Have sk_SSL_COMP_zero() call for OpenSSL 0.9.8 version

One can not see in PB2 test logs which unit tests have been run
and passed.

This patchs adds an option --unit-tests-report to mtr which
include the ctest report in mtr output.  It will also turn on unit
testing if not explicitly turned off with --no-unit-tests or
equivalent.

In manual runs one can always look in the ctest.log file in mtr
vardir.

--unit-tests are replaced with --unit-tests-report in files under
mysql-test/collections/ to activate report in PB2.

PROBLEM

Create time is calculated as last status change time of .frm file.
The first problem was that innodb was passing file name as
"table_name#po#p0.frm" to the stat() call which calculates the create time.
Since there is no frm file with this name create_time will be stored as NULL.
The second problem is ha_partition::info() updates stats for create time
when HA_STATUS_CONST flag was set ,where as innodb calculates this statistic
when HA_STATUS_TIME is set,which causes create_time to be set as NULL.

Fix
Pass proper .frm name to stat() call and calculate create time when
HA_STATUS_CONST flag is set.

Description: SSL tests are failing in mysql-5.1 pb2

Bug# 19699237: UNINITIALIZED VARIABLE IN
               ITEM_FIELD::STR_RESULT LEADS TO INCORRECT
               BEHAVIOR

ISSUE:
------
When the following conditions are satisfied in a query, a
server crash occurs:
a) Two rows are compared using a NULL-safe equal-to operator.
b) Each of these rows belong to different charsets.

SOLUTION:
---------
When one charset is converted to another for comparision,
the constructor of "Item_func_conv_charset" is called.
This will attempt to use the Item_cache if the string is a
constant. This check succeeds because the "used_table_map"
of the Item_cache class is never set to the correct value.
Since it is mistakenly assumed to be a constant, it tries
to fetch the relevant null value related fields which are
yet to be initialized. This results in valgrind issues
and wrong results.

The fix is to update the "used_table_map" of "Item_cache".
This will allow "Item_func_conv_charset" to realise that
this is not a constant.

Problem: UDF doesn't handle the arguments properly when they
         are of string type due to a misplaced break.
         The length of arguments is also not set properly
         when the argument is NULL.

Solution: Fixed the code by putting the break at right place
          and setting the argument length to zero when the
          argument is NULL.

			TO USE A SECOND WATCH PAGE PER INSTANCE

Description:
	BUF_POOL_WATCH_SIZE is also initialized to number of purge threads.
so BUF_POOL_WATCH_SIZE will never be lesser than number of purge threads.
From the code, there is no scope for purge thread to skip buf_pool_watch_unset.
So there can be at most one buffer pool watch active per purge thread.
In other words, there is no chance for purge thread instance to hold a watch
when setting another watch.

Solution:
	Adding code comments to clarify the issue.

Problem:
While getting the temp table field for a REF_ITEM
make_sortorder is using the real_item. As a result

Solution:
Do not use real_item to get the temp table field.
Instead use the REF_ITEM itself as temp table fields
are created for REF_ITEM not the real_item.

               MYISAM TABLE CAUSES THE SERVER TO CRASH

Issue:
-----
During index maintanence, R-tree node might need a split.
In some cases the square of mbr could be calculated to
infinite (as in this case) or to NaN. This is currently
not handled. This is specific to MyISAM.

SOLUTION:
---------
If the calculated value in "mbr_join_square" is infinite or
NaN, set it to max double value.

Initialization of output parameters of "pick_seeds" is
required if calculation is infinite (or negative infinite).

Similar to the fix made for INNODB as part of Bug#19533996.

Bug19770858: MYSQLD CAN BE DRIVEN TO OOM WITH TWO SIMPLE SESSION VARS

The problem was that the maximum value of the transaction_prealloc_size
session system variable was ULONG_MAX which meant that it was possible
to cause the server to allocate excessive amounts of memory.

This patch fixes the problem by reducing the maxmimum value of
transaction_prealloc_size and transaction_alloc_block_size down
to 128K.

Note that transactions will still be able to allocate more than
128K if needed, this patch just reduces the amount that can be
preallocated - as well as the maximum size of the incremental
allocation blocks.
