but broken.

Before this patch, it was allowed to use stored functions in
HANDLER ... READ statements. The problem was that this functionality
was not really supported by the code. Proper locking would for example
not be performed, and it was also possible to break replication by
having stored functions that performed updates.

This patch disallows the use of stored functions in HANDLER ... READ.
Any such statement will now give an ER_NOT_SUPPORTED_YET error.
This is an incompatible change and should be reflected in the
documentation.

Test case added to handler_myisam/handler_innodb.test.

                       reports corruption along with timeout

This patch updates the result file for the
parts.partition_special_innodb test case which was, by mistake,
not updated in the original patch.

           REPAIR of merge table
Bug #56422 CHECK TABLE run when the table is locked reports
           corruption along with timeout

The crash happened if a table maintenance statement (ANALYZE TABLE,
REPAIR TABLE, etc.) was executed on a MERGE table and opening and 
locking a child table failed. This could for example happen if a child
table did not exist or if a lock timeout happened while waiting for
a conflicting metadata lock to disappear.

Since opening and locking the MERGE table and its children failed,
the tables would be closed and the metadata locks released.
However, TABLE_LIST::table for the MERGE table would still be set,
with its value invalid since the tables had been closed.
This caused the table maintenance statement to try to continue
and upgrade the metadata lock on the MERGE table. But since the lock
already had been released, this caused a segfault.

This patch fixes the problem by setting TABLE_LIST::table to NULL 
if open_and_lock_tables() fails. This prevents maintenance
statements from continuing and trying to upgrade the metadata lock.

The patch includes a 5.5 version of the fix for
Bug #46339 crash on REPAIR TABLE merge table USE_FRM.
This bug caused REPAIR TABLE ... USE_FRM to give an assert 
when used on merge tables.

The patch also enables the CHECK TABLE statement for log tables.
Before, CHECK TABLE for log tables gave ER_CANT_LOCK_LOG_TABLE,
yet still counted the statement as successfully executed.
With the changes to table maintenance statement error handling
in this patch, CHECK TABLE would no longer be considered as
successful in this case. This would have caused upgrade scripts
to mistakenly think that the general and slow logs are corrupted
and have to be repaired. Enabling CHECK TABLES for log tables
prevents this from happening.

Finally, the patch changes the error message from "Corrupt" to
"Operation failed" for a number of issues not related to table
corruption. For example "Lock wait timeout exceeded" and 
"Deadlock found trying to get lock".

Test cases added to merge.test and check.test.

CHECKSUM TABLE for performance schema tables could cause uninitialized
memory reads.

The root cause is a design flaw in the implementation of
mysql_checksum_table(), which do not honor null fields.

However, fixing this bug in CHECKSUM TABLE is risky, as it can cause the
checksum value to change.

This fix implements a work around, to systematically reset fields values
even for null fields, so that the field memory representation is always
initialized with a known value.

Before this fix, the test output for perfschema.server_init would
vary between executions, because some of the objects tested were
not guaranteed to exist in all configurations / code paths.

This fix removes these weak tests.

Also, comments referring to abandonned code have been cleaned up.

tree for embedded server

Test case for bug #56251 "Deadlock with INSERT
DELAYED and MERGE tables" can't be run against
embedded server. Embedded server converts all
DELAYED INSERTs into ordinary INSERTs and this
test can't work properly if such conversion
happens.

Moved this test from merge.test to delayed.test
which is skipped if test suite is run with
--embedded-server option.

The problem was that RENAME TABLE caused an assert if the system variable
lower_case_table_names was 2 (default on Mac OS X) and the old table name
was given in upper case. This caused lowercase_table2.test to fail.

The assert checks that an exclusive metadata lock is held by the connection
trying to do RENAME TABLE - specificially during updates of table triggers.
The assert was triggered since the check is case sensitive and the lock
was held on the normalized (lower case) version of the table name.

This patch fixes the problem by making sure a normalized version of the
table name is used for the metadata lock check, while using a non-normalized
version of the table name for the rename of trigger files. The same is done
for ALTER TABLE ... RENAME.

Regression testing for the bug itself is already covered by
lowercase_table2.test. Additional coverage added to lowercase_fs_off.test.

Before this fix, the server could crash inside a memcpy when reading data
from the EVENTS_WAITS_CURRENT / HISTORY / HISTORY_LONG  tables.

The root cause is that the length used in a memcpy could be corrupted,
when another thread writes data in the wait record being read.
Reading unsafe data is ok, per design choice, and the code does sanitize
the data in general, but did not sanitize the length given to memcpy.

The fix is to also sanitize the schema name / object name / file name
length when extracting the data to produce a row.

tables".

Attempting to issue an INSERT DELAYED statement for a MERGE
table might have caused a deadlock if it happened as part of
a transaction or under LOCK TABLES, and there was a concurrent
DDL or LOCK TABLES ... WRITE statement which tried to lock one
of its underlying tables.

The problem occurred when a delayed insert handler thread tried
to open a MERGE table and discovered that to do this it had also
to open all underlying tables and hence acquire metadata
locks on them. Since metadata locks on the underlying tables were
not pre-acquired by the connection thread executing INSERT DELAYED,
attempts to do so might lead to waiting. In this case the
connection thread had to wait for the delayed insert thread.
If the thread which was preventing the lock on the underlying table
from being acquired had to wait for the connection thread (due to
this or other metadata locks), a deadlock occurred. 
This deadlock was not detected by the MDL deadlock detector since 
waiting for the handler thread by the connection thread is not
represented in the wait-for graph.

This patch solves the problem by ensuring that the delayed
insert handler thread never tries to open underlying tables 
of a MERGE table. Instead open_tables() is aborted right after
the parent table is opened and a ER_DELAYED_NOT_SUPPORTED 
error is emitted (which is passed to the connection thread and
ultimately to the user).

      
The crash during boot was caused by a DBUG_PRINT statement in fill_schema_schemata() (in
sql_show.cc). This DBUG_PRINT statement contained several instances of %s in the format 
string and for one of these we gave a NULL pointer as the argument. This caused the
call to vsnprintf() to crash when running on Solaris.
      
The fix for this problem is to replace the call to vsnprintf() with my_vsnprintf()
which handles that a NULL pointer is passed as argumens for %s.

This patch also extends my_vsnprintf() to support %i in the format string.

Implemented post review comments.

Added --force to the mysql_upgrade command in the test scripts,
so that the test output does not depends on whether other tests involving an
upgrade have been executed or not in the same test suite execution.

The problem was that issuing XA END when the XA transaction was
already ended, caused an assertion. This assertion tests that 
the server does not try to send OK to the client if there has
already been an error reported. The bug was only noticeable on
debug versions of the server.

The reason for the problem was that the trans_xa_end() function
reported success if the transaction was at XA_IDLE state at the
end regardless of any errors occured during processing of
trans_xa_end(). So if the transaction state was XA_IDLE already,
reported errors would be ignored.

This patch fixes the problem by having trans_xa_end() take into
consideration any reported errors. The patch also fixes a similar
bug with XA PREPARE.

Test case added to xa.test.

Before this fix, the server could crash during shutdown,
due to race conditions, that occured when killing the server.

In particular, the performance schema instrumentation handle,
PSI_server, and the performance schema itself would be cleaned up
too soon, causing race conditions with a running kill server thread.

The specifics of the race condition found are that:
the main thread executing "PSI_server= NULL" can cause crashes in
other threads still running, which are executing
"if (PSI_server != NULL) PSI_server->xxx()"
as part of the performance schema instrumentation.

While the bug was reported for the kill server thread,
in theory the same crash could happen with the signal thread,
as found by code analysis.

The correct fix would be to only shutdown the performance schema
and set PSI_server to NULL after every other thread is guaranteed
to be completed, including the kill_server_thread.

However, due to the existing mysqld server design, this is not the case.
See in particular bug number 56666.

The work around used to fix this race condition is to simply not
perform the call to shutdown_performance_schema() when the server exits,
and to keep the PSI_server pointer unchanged.

This will cause memory leaks to be reported by tools like valgrind,
but no memory leak actually happen because the process is about to exit().

As a result, the file mysql-test/valgrind.supp has been updated
to filter out these false positive messages.

This code has been tested with running in a loop the following
tests in parallel, which have been known to fail with race conditions
in the past:
- rpl_change_master
- binlog_max_extension
- events_restart
- rpl_heartbeat_basic
and no crash of test failure has been seen with the changed code.

Before this fix, it was possible to build the server:
- with the performance schema
- with a dummy implementation of my_atomic (MY_ATOMIC_MODE_DUMMY).

In this case, the resulting binary will just crash,
as this configuration is not supported.

This fix enforces that the build will fail with a compilation error in this
configuration, instead of resulting in a broken binary.

table causes assert failure".

Attempting to use FLUSH TABLE table_list WITH READ LOCK
statement for a MERGE table led to an assertion failure if
one of its children was not present in the list of tables
to be flushed. The problem was not visible in non-debug builds.

The assertion failure was caused by the fact that in such
situations FLUSH TABLES table_list WITH READ LOCK implementation
tried to use (e.g. lock) such child tables without acquiring
metadata lock on them. This happened because when opening tables
we assumed metadata locks on all tables were already acquired
earlier during statement execution and a such assumption was
false for MERGE children.

This patch fixes the problem by ensuring at open_tables() time
that we try to acquire metadata locks on all tables to be opened. 
For normal tables such requests are satisfied instantly since
locks are already acquired for them. For MERGE children metadata
locks are acquired in normal fashion.

Note that FLUSH TABLES merge_table WITH READ LOCK will lock for
read both the MERGE table and its children but will flush only 
the MERGE table. To flush children one has to mention them in table
list explicitly. This is expected behavior and it is consistent with
usage patterns for this statement (e.g. in mysqlhotcopy script).

Add a virtual destructor. Class has virtual functions.

With recent changes in the performance schema default sizing parameters,
the memory used by a mysqld binary increased accordingly.

This negatively affects the MTR test suite,
because running several tests in parallel now consumes more ressources.

The fix is to leave the default production values unchanged,
and to configure the MTR environment to limit memory
used when running tests in the test suite, which is ok
because only a few objects are typically used within a test script.

This fix:
- changed the default configuration in MTR to use less memory
- adjusted the performance schema tests accordingly

Note that 1,000 mutex instances was too short and caused test failures
in the past in team trees, so the default used is now 10,000 in MTR.

The amount of memory used by the performance schema itself
can be observed with the statement SHOW ENGINE PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA STATUS

ALTER TABLE on a MERGE table could cause a deadlock with two
other connections if we reached a situation where:

1) A connection doing ALTER TABLE can't upgrade to MDL_EXCLUSIVE on the
parent table, but holds TL_READ_NO_INSERT on the child tables.
2) A connection doing DELETE on a child table can't get TL_WRITE on it
since ALTER TABLE holds TL_READ_NO_INSERT.
3) A connection doing SELECT on the parent table can't get TL_READ on 
the child tables since TL_WRITE is ahead in the lock queue, but holds
MDL_SHARED_READ on the parent table preventing ALTER TABLE from upgrading.

For regular tables, this deadlock is avoided by having ALTER TABLE
take a MDL_SHARED_NO_WRITE metadata lock on the table. This prevents
DELETE from acquiring MDL_SHARED_WRITE on the table before ALTER TABLE
tries to upgrade to MDL_EXCLUSIVE. In the example above, SELECT would
therefore not be blocked by the pending DELETE as DELETE would not be
able to enter TL_WRITE in the table lock queue.

This patch fixes the problem for merge tables by using the same metadata
lock type for child tables as for the parent table. The child tables will
in this case therefore be locked with MDL_SHARED_NO_WRITE, preventing
DELETE from acquiring a metadata lock and enter into the table lock queue.

Change in behavior: By taking the same metadata lock for child tables
as for the parent table, LOCK TABLE on the parent table will now also
implicitly lock the child tables. Since LOCK TABLE on the parent table
now takes more than one metadata lock, it is possible for LOCK TABLE
... WRITE on the parent table or child tables to give ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK
error.

Test case added to mdl_sync.test.
Merge.test/.result has been updated to reflect the change to LOCK TABLE.

The Item_func_str_to_date class wasn't providing correct integer DATETIME
representation as expected. This led to wrong comparison result and didn't
allowed the STR_TO_DATE function to be used with indexes.
Also, STR_TO_DATE function was inconsisted on throwing warnings/errors.
Fixed now.

val_int and result_as_longlong methods were added to the Item_func_str_to_date
class. 

      
In sql/log.c, member function wait_for_update_bin_log, a condition is entered with
THD::enter_cond but is not exited. This might leave dangling references to the
mutex/condition in the per-thread information area.
      
To fix the problem, we call exit_cond to properly remove references to the mutex,
LOCK_log.

On Solaris with version 3.4.6, the ha_example.so shared library is built
with DTrace and the server is built without DTrace support. This occurs
because dtrace.cmake disables DTrace support for 3.4.6, but still set
HAVE_DTRACE, which causes probes_mysql.h to include probes_mysql_dtrace.h
instead of probes_mysql_nodtrace.h.

This patch fixes this by not setting HAVE_DTRACE on Solaris for GCC 3.4.6.
