table and view...

Invalid memory reads after a query referencing MyISAM table
multiple times with write lock. Invalid memory reads may
lead to server crash, valgrind warnings, incorrect values
in INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES.{TABLE_ROWS, DATA_LENGTH,
INDEX_LENGTH, ...}.

This may happen when one of the table instances gets closed
after a query, e.g. out of slots in open tables cache. UNION,
MERGE and VIEW are irrelevant.

The problem was that MyISAM didn't restore state info
pointer to default value.

Updated the certs to expire on 2015. 
Made sure they work with both yassl and openssl.

column is used for ORDER BY

Problem: filesort isn't meant for null length sort data
(e.g. char(0)), that leads to a server crash.

Fix: disregard sort order if sort data record length is 0 (nothing
to sort).

  Define env. vars for both timeout settings
  This patch is for 5.0 (mtr v1) and should replaces for 5.1 up

printstack() being present

When Bug#47391 was fixed, no assumption was made that support
for Solaris 8 was needed. Solaris 8 lacks printstack(), and 
the build breaks because of this.

This patch adds a test for the presence of printstack() to
configure.in for 5.0, and uses HAVE_PRINTSTACK to make
decisions rather than the __sun define.

Problem: copying issuer's (or subject's) name tags into an internal
buffer from incoming stream we didn't check the buffer overflow. 
That may lead to memory overrun, crash etc.

Fix: ensure we don't overrun the buffer.

Note: there's no simple test case (exploit needed).

- "release" starts from 1
- "level" ("m2", "rc", ...) is included in the RPM version.

but don't take the "tree name" change.

32bit builds with the --enable-assembler flag (enabled by default)
fail with an error message: undefined reference to `strmov_overlapp'.

Since the fix for bug 48866 we use a home-grown strmov function
instead of the ctpcpy function, but the source file for this
function was missed in the Makefile.am.

The strings/Makefile.am file has been modified to include strmov.c
file into ASSEMBLER_x86 and ASSEMBLER_sparc32 sections.

Fixed valgrind failure on PB2.

Fixed valgrind failure on PB2.

      
In statement-based or mixed-mode replication, use DROP TEMPORARY TABLE
to drop multiple tables causes different errors on master and slave, 
when one or more of these tables do not exist. Because when executed
on slave, it would automatically add IF EXISTS to the query to ignore
all ER_BAD_TABLE_ERROR errors.

To fix the problem, do not add IF EXISTS when executing DROP TEMPORARY
TABLE on the slave, and clear the ER_BAD_TABLE_ERROR error after
execution if the query does not expect any errors.

           to make the test run gracefully on windows.

There was also a syntax error in windows part of the test.

on re-execution of prepared statement

Problem: some (see eq_ref_table()) ORDER BY/GROUP BY optimization
is called before each PS execution. However, we don't properly 
initialize its stucture every time before the call.

Fix: properly initialize the sturture used.

The problem is a somewhat common misusage of the strmake function.
The strmake(dst, src, len) function writes at most /len/ bytes to
the string pointed to by src, not including the trailing null byte.
Hence, if /len/ is the exact length of the destination buffer, a
one byte buffer overflow can occur if the length of the source
string is equal to or greater than /len/.

The test allowed random coincidence of connection ids for two concurrent
sessions performing CREATE/DROP temp tables.

Fixed with correcting the test. The sessions connection ids are not changed
from their defaults anymore.

                  
When compressed myisam files are opened, they are always memory mapped
sometimes causing memory swapping problems.

When we mmap the myisam compressed tables of size greater than the memory 
available, the kswapd0 process utilization is very high consuming 30-40% of 
the cpu. This happens only with linux kernels older than 2.6.9

With newer linux kernels, we don't have this problem of high cpu consumption
and this option may not be required.
 
The option 'myisam_mmap_size' is added to limit the amount of memory used for
memory mapping of myisam files. This option is not dynamic.

The default value on 32 bit system is 4294967295 bytes and on 64 bit system it
is 18446744073709547520 bytes.

Note: Testcase only tests the option variable. The actual bug has be to 
tested manually.

Problem: inserting a record we don't set unused null bits in the
record buffer if no default field values used.
That may lead to wrong live checksum calculation.

Fix: set unused null bits in the record buffer in such cases.

strmov() is not guaranteed to work correctly on overlapping
source and destination buffers. On some OSes it may work,
but Fedora 12 has a stpcpy() that's not working correctly 
on overlapping buffers.
Fixed to use the overlap-safe version of strmov instead.
Re-vitalized the overlap-safe version of strmov. 

the declaration of THR_LOCK_myisam_mmap in mi_static 
is redundant as it accessible via the extern declaration 
in include/myisam.h

At the end of execution top level join execution
we cleanup this join with true argument.
It leads to underlying join cleanup(subquery) with true argument too
and to tmp_table_param->field array cleanup which is required later.
The problem is that Item_func_set_user_var does not set
result_filed which leads to unnecessary repeated excution of subquery
on final stage.
The fix is to set result_field for Item_func_set_user_var.

 int join_read_key(JOIN_TAB*)

The eq_ref access method TABLE_REF (accessed through 
JOIN_TAB) to save state and to track if this is the 
first row it finds or not.
This state was not reset on subquery re-execution
causing an assert.

Fixed by resetting the state before the subquery 
re-execution.

5.0 buffer overflow for ER_UPDATE_INFO, or truncated info message in 5.1
      
5.0.86 has a buffer overflow/crash, and 5.1.40 has a truncated message.
      
errmsg.txt contains this:
      
ER_UPDATE_INFO
rum "Linii identificate (matched): %ld  Schimbate: %ld  Atentionari 
(warnings): %ld"
When that is sprintf'd into a buffer of STRING_BUFFER_USUAL_SIZE size,
a buffer overflow can happen.
      
The solution to this is to use MYSQL_ERRMSG_SIZE for the buffer size, 
instead of STRING_BUFFER_USUAL_SIZE. This will allow longer strings. 
To avoid potential crashes, we will also use my_snprintf instead of
sprintf.

Windows 2000.
      
      Visual Studio 2003 and 2005 require
        _WIN32_WINNT >= 0x0500 (Win2000)  for TryEnterCriticalSection.

The help text for --init-slave=name:
"Command(s) that are executed when a slave connects to this master".
This text indicate that the --init-slave option is set on a  master 
server, and the master server passes the option's argument to slave 
which connects to it. This is wrong. Actually the --init-slave option 
just can be set on a slave server, and then the slave server executes 
the argument each time the SQL thread starts.

Correct the help text for --init-slave option as following:
"Command(s) that are executed by a slave server each time the SQL thread starts."

SPATIAL and FULLTEXT indexes don't support algorithm
selection. 
Disabled by creating a special grammar rule for these
in the parser.
Added some encasulation of duplicate parser code.

Part 2 : 
There was a special optimization on the ref access method for 
ORDER BY ... DESC that was set without actually looking on the type of the 
selected index for ORDER BY.
Fixed the SELECT ... ORDER BY .. DESC (it uses a different code path compared
to the ASC that has been fixed with the previous fix).
