    Reducing memory when using information schema · 9ec19b9b
    Monty authored
    The background is that one user had a lot of views and using some complex
    queries on information schema temporary memory of more than 2G was used.
    
    - Added new element 'total_alloc' to MEM_ROOT for easier debugging.
    - Added MAX_MEMORY_USED to information_schema.processlist.
    - Added new status variable "Memory_used_initial" that shows how much MariaDB
      uses at startup. This gives the base value for "Memory_used".
    - Reuse memory continuously for information schema queries instead of
      only freeing memory at query end.
    
    Other things
    - Removed some not needed set_notnull() calls for not null columns.
