Fixing the code adding MySQL _0900_ collations as _uca1400_ aliases
not to perform deep initialization of the corresponding _uca1400_
collations.
Only basic initialization is now performed which allows to watch
these collations (both _0900_ and _uca1400_) in queries to
INFORMATION_SCHEMA tables COLLATIONS and
COLLATION_CHARACTER_SET_APPLICABILITY,
as well as in SHOW COLLATION statements.
Deep initialization is now performed only when a collation
(either the _0900_ alias or the corresponding _uca1400_ collation)
is used for the very first time after the server startup.
Refactoring was done to maintain the code easier:
- most of the _uca1400_ code was moved from ctype-uca.c
to a new file ctype-uca1400.c
- most of the _0900_ code was moved from type-uca.c
to a new file ctype-uca0900.c
Change details:
- The original function add_alias_for_collation() added by the patch for
"MDEV-20912 Add support for utf8mb4_0900_* collations in MariaDB Server"
was removed from mysys/charset.c, as it had two two problems:
a. it forced deep initialization of the _uca1400_ collations
when adding _0900_ aliases for them at the server startup
(the main reported problem)
b. the collation initialization code in add_alias_for_collation()
was related more to collations rather than to memory management,
so /strings should be a better place for it than /mysys.
The code from add_alias_for_collation() was split into separate functions.
Cyclic dependency was removed. `#include <my_sys.h>` was removed
from /strings/ctype-uca.c. Collations are now added using a callback
function MY_CHARSET_LOADED::add_collation, like it is done for
user collations defined in Index.xml. The code in /mysys sets
MY_CHARSET_LOADED::add_collation to add_compiled_collation().
- The function compare_collations() was removed.
A new virtual function was added into my_collation_handler_st instead:
my_bool (*eq_collation)(CHARSET_INFO *self, CHARSET_INFO *other);
because it is the collation handler who knows how to detect equal
collations by comparing only some of CHARSET_INFO members without
their deep initialization.
Three implementations were added:
- my_ci_eq_collation_uca() for UCA collations, it compares
_0900_ collations as equal to their corresponding _uca1400_ collations.
- my_ci_eq_collation_utf8mb4_bin(), it compares
utf8mb4_nopad_bin and utf8mb4_0900_bin as equal.
- my_ci_eq_collation_generic() - the default implementation,
which compares all collations as not equal.
A C++ wrapper CHARSET_INFO::eq_collations() was added.
The code in /sql was changes to use the wrapper instead of
the former calls for the removed function compare_collations().
- A part of add_alias_for_collation() was moved into a new function
my_ci_alloc(). It allocates a memory for a new charset_info_st
instance together with the collation name and the comment using a single
MY_CHARSET_LOADER::once_alloc call, which points to my_once_alloc()
in the server.
- A part of add_alias_for_collation() was moved into a new function
my_ci_make_comment_for_alias(). It makes an "Alias for xxx" string,
e.g. "Alias for utf8mb4_uca1400_swedish_ai_ci" in case of
utf8mb4_sv_0900_ai_ci.
- A part of the code in create_tailoring() was moved to
a new function my_uca1400_collation_get_initialized_shared_uca(),
to reuse the code between _uca1400_ and _0900_ collations.
- A new function my_collation_id_is_mysql_uca0900() was added
in addition to my_collation_id_is_mysql_uca1400().
- Functions to build collation names were added:
my_uca0900_collation_build_name()
my_uca1400_collation_build_name()
- A shared function function was added:
my_bool
my_uca1400_collation_alloc_and_init(MY_CHARSET_LOADER *loader,
LEX_CSTRING name,
LEX_CSTRING comment,
const uca_collation_def_param_t *param,
uint id)
It's reused to add _uca1400_ and _0900_ collations, with basic
initialization (without deep initialization).
- The function add_compiled_collation() changed its return type from
void to int, to make it compatible with MY_CHARSET_LOADER::add_collation.
- Functions mysql_uca0900_collation_definition_add(),
mysql_uca0900_utf8mb4_collation_definitions_add(),
mysql_utf8mb4_0900_bin_add() were added into ctype-uca0900.c.
They get MY_CHARSET_LOADER as a parameter.
- Functions my_uca1400_collation_definition_add(),
my_uca1400_collation_definitions_add() were moved from
charset-def.c to strings/ctype-uca1400.c.
The latter now accepts MY_CHARSET_LOADER as the first parameter
instead of initializing a MY_CHARSET_LOADER inside.
- init_compiled_charsets() now initializes a MY_CHARSET_LOADER
variable and passes it to all functions adding collations:
- mysql_utf8mb4_0900_collation_definitions_add()
- mysql_uca0900_utf8mb4_collation_definitions_add()
- mysql_utf8mb4_0900_bin_add()
- A new structure was added into ctype-uca.h:
typedef struct uca_collation_def_param
{
my_cs_encoding_t cs_id;
uint tailoring_id;
uint nopad_flags;
uint level_flags;
} uca_collation_def_param_t;
It simplifies reusing the code for _uca1400_ and _0900_ collations.
- The definition of MY_UCA1400_COLLATION_DEFINITION was
moved from ctype-uca.c to ctype-uca1400.h, to reuse
the code for _uca1400_ and _0900_ collations.
- The definitions of "MY_UCA_INFO my_uca_v1400" and
"MY_UCA_INFO my_uca1400_info_tailored[][]" were moved from
ctype-uca.c to ctype-uca1400.c.
- The definitions/declarations of:
- mysql_0900_collation_start,
- struct mysql_0900_to_mariadb_1400_mapping
- mysql_0900_to_mariadb_1400_mapping
- mysql_utf8mb4_0900_collation_definitions_add()
were moved from ctype-uca.c to ctype-uca0900.c
- Functions
my_uca1400_make_builtin_collation_id()
my_uca1400_collation_definition_init()
my_uca1400_collation_id_uca400_compat()
my_ci_get_collation_name_uca1400_context()
were moved from ctype-uca.c to ctype-uca1400.c and ctype-uca1400.h
- A part of my_uca1400_collation_definition_init()
was moved into my_uca0520_builtin_collation_by_id(),
to make functions smaller.
in _ma_unique_hash, skip_trailing_space, my_hash_sort_mb_nopad_bin and my_strnncollsp_utf8mb4_bin
UBSAN detected the nullptr-with-offset in a few places
when handling empty blobs.
Fix:
- Adding DBUG_ASSERT(source_string) into all hash_sort() implementations
to catch this problem in non-UBSAN debug builds.
- Fixing mi_unique_hash(), mi_unique_comp(),
_ma_unique_hash(), _ma_unique_comp() to replace NULL pointer to
an empty string ponter..
Note, we should also add DBUG_ASSERT(source_string != NULL) into
all implementations of strnncoll*(). But I'm afraid the patch
is going to be too long and too dangerous for 10.5.
The functions MY_CHARSET_HANDLER::caseup() and MY_CHARSET_HANDLER::casedn()
in their virtual imlementations do "const char *end= src + srclen"
in the very beginning. Therefore src cannot be NULL to avoid
"UBSAN: SUMMARY: UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer: nullptr-with-offset".
Adding DBUG_ASSERT(src != NULL) into all virtual implementations,
to catch this problem in regular Debug builds (without UBSAN).
Fixing Master_info_index::get_master_info() to check connection_name->str.
If it is NULL then passing empty_clex_str into IdentBufferCasedn
instead of *connection_name.
(Variant#3: Allow cross-charset comparisons, use a special
CHARSET_INFO to create lookup keys. Review input addressed.)
Equalities that compare utf8mb{3,4}_general_ci strings, like:
WHERE ... utf8mb3_key_col=utf8mb4_value (MB3-4-CMP)
can now be used to construct ref[const] access and also participate
in multiple-equalities.
This means that utf8mb3_key_col can be used for key-lookups when
compared with an utf8mb4 constant, field or expression using '=' or
'<=>' comparison operators.
This is controlled by optimizer_switch='cset_narrowing=on', which is
OFF by default.
IMPLEMENTATION
Item value comparison in (MB3-4-CMP) is done using utf8mb4_general_ci.
This is valid as any utf8mb3 value is also an utf8mb4 value.
When making index lookup value for utf8mb3_key_col, we do "Charset
Narrowing": characters that are in the Basic Multilingual Plane (=BMP) are
copied as-is, as they can be represented in utf8mb3. Characters that are
outside the BMP cannot be represented in utf8mb3 and are replaced
with U+FFFD, the "Replacement Character".
In utf8mb4_general_ci, the Replacement Character compares as equal to any
character that's not in BMP. Because of this, the constructed lookup value
will find all index records that would be considered equal by the original
condition (MB3-4-CMP).

In the hexlo function, the element type of the array hex_lo_digit is not
explicitly declared as signed char, causing elements with a value of -1
to be converted to 255 on Arm64. The problem occurs because "char" is
unsigned by default on Arm64 compiler, but signed on x86 compiler. This
problem can be seen in https://godbolt.org/z/rT775xshj
The above issue causes "use-after-poison" exception in my_mb_wc_filename
function. The code snippet where the error occurred is shown below,
copied from below link.
5fc19e7137/strings/ctype-utf8.c (L2728)
2728 if ((byte1= hexlo(byte1)) >= 0 &&
2729 (byte2= hexlo(byte2)) >= 0)
{
2731 int byte3= hexlo(s[3]);
…
}
At line 2729, when byte2 is 0, which indicates the end of the string s.
(1) On x86, hexlo(0) return -1 and line 2731 is skipped, as expected.
(2) On Arm64, hexlo(0) return 255 and line 2731 is executed, not as
expected, accessing s[3] after the null character of string s, thus
raising the "user-after-poison" error.
The problem was discovered when executing the main.mysqlcheck test.

(Added handling of UPDATE/DELETE and partitioning w/o index)
If the properties of the used collation allow, do the following
equivalent rewrites:
1. UPPER(key_col)=expr -> key_col=expr
expr=UPPER(key_col) -> expr=key_col
(also rewrite both sides of the equality at the same time)
2. UPPER(key_col) IN (constant-list) -> key_col IN (constant-list)
- Mark utf8mb{3,4}_general_ci as collations that allow this.
- Add optimizer_switch='sargable_casefold=ON' to control this.
(ON by default in this patch)
- Cover the rewrite in Optimizer Trace, rewrite name is
"sargable_casefold_removal".
This is a non-functional change. It changes the way how case folding data
and weight data (for simple Unicode collations) are stored:
- Removing data types MY_UNICASE_CHARACTER, MY_UNICASE_INFO
- Using data types MY_CASEFOLD_CHARACTER, MY_CASEFOLD_INFO instead.
This patch changes simple Unicode collations in a similar way
how MDEV-30695 previously changed Asian collations.
No new MTR tests are needed. The underlying code is thoroughly
covered by a number of ctype_*_ws.test and ctype_*_casefold.test
files, which were added recently as a preparation
for this change.
Old and new Unicode data layout
-------------------------------
Case folding data is now stored in separate tables
consisting of MY_CASEFOLD_CHARACTER elements with two members:
typedef struct casefold_info_char_t
{
uint32 toupper;
uint32 tolower;
} MY_CASEFOLD_CHARACTER;
while weight data (for simple non-UCA collations xxx_general_ci
and xxx_general_mysql500_ci) is stored in separate arrays of
uint16 elements.
Before this change case folding data and simple weight data were
stored together, in tables of the following elements with three members:
typedef struct unicase_info_char_st
{
uint32 toupper;
uint32 tolower;
uint32 sort; /* weights for simple collations */
} MY_UNICASE_CHARACTER;
This data format was redundant, because weights (the "sort" member) were
needed only for these two simple Unicode collations:
- xxx_general_ci
- xxx_general_mysql500_ci
Adding case folding information for Unicode-14.0.0 using the old
format would waste memory without purpose.
Detailed changes
----------------
- Changing the underlying data types as described above
- Including unidata-dump.c into the sources.
This program was earlier used to dump UnicodeData.txt
(e.g. https://www.unicode.org/Public/14.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt)
into MySQL / MariaDB source files.
It was originally written in 2002, but has not been distributed yet
together with MySQL / MariaDB sources.
- Removing the old format Unicode data earlier dumped from UnicodeData.txt
(versions 3.0.0 and 5.2.0) from ctype-utf8.c.
Adding Unicode data in the new format into separate header files,
to maintain the code easier:
- ctype-unicode300-casefold.h
- ctype-unicode300-casefold-tr.h
- ctype-unicode300-general_ci.h
- ctype-unicode300-general_mysql500_ci.h
- ctype-unicode520-casefold.h
- Adding a new file ctype-unidata.c as an aggregator for
the header files listed above.
Removing similar functions from ctype-utf8.c and ctype-ucs2.c
- my_tosort_utf16()
- my_tosort_utf32()
- my_tosort_ucs2()
- my_tosort_unicode()
Adding new shared functions into ctype-unidata.h:
- my_tosort_unicode_bmp() - reused for utf8mb3, ucs2
- my_tosort_unicode() - reused for utf8mb4, utf16, utf32
For simplicity, the new version of my_tosort_unicode*()
does not include the code handling the MY_CS_LOWER_SORT flag because:
- it affects performance negatively
- we don't have any collations with this flag yet anyway
(This code was most likely earlier erroneously merged from
MySQL's utf8_tolower_ci at some point.)
1. Adding a separate MY_COLLATION_HANDLER
my_collation_ucs2_general_mysql500_ci_handler
implementing a proper order for ucs2_general_mysql500_ci
The problem happened because ucs2_general_mysql500_ci
erroneously used my_collation_ucs2_general_ci_handler.
2. Cosmetic changes: Renaming:
- plane00_mysql500 to my_unicase_mysql500_page00
- my_unicase_pages_mysql500 to my_unicase_mysql500_pages
to use the same naming style with:
- my_unicase_default_page00
- my_unicase_defaul_pages
3. Moving code fragments from
- handler::check_collation_compatibility() in handler.cc
- upgrade_collation() in table.cc
into new methods in class Charset, to reuse the code easier.
This is a non-functional change and should not change the server behavior.
Casefolding information is now stored in items of a new data type MY_CASEFOLD_CHARACTER:
typedef struct casefold_info_char_t
{
uint32 toupper;
uint32 tolower;
} MY_CASEFOLD_CHARACTER;
Before this change, casefolding tables for Asian collations were stored in:
typedef struct unicase_info_char_st
{
uint32 toupper;
uint32 tolower;
uint32 sort;
} MY_UNICASE_CHARACTER;
The "sort" member was not used in the code handling Asian collations,
it only wasted space.
(it's only used by Unicode _general_ci and _general_mysql500_ci collations).
Unicode collations (at least UCA and _bin) should also be refactored later,
but under terms of a separate task.
String length growth during upper/lower conversion
in Unicode collations depends only on the underlying MY_UNICASE_INFO
used in the collation.
Maintaining a separate member CHARSET_INFO::caseup_multiply and
CHARSET_INFO::casedn_multiply duplicated this information
and caused bugs like this (when MY_UNICASE_INFO and case??_multiply
when out of sync because of incomplete CHARSET_INFO initialization).
Fix:
Changing CHARSET_INFO::caseup_multiply and CHARSET_INFO::casedn_multiply
from members to virtual functions.
The virtual functions in Unicode collations calculate case conversion
growth factors from the MY_UNICASE_INFO. This guarantees that the growth
factors are always in sync with the MY_UNICASE_INFO.
- Added one neutral and 22 tailored (language specific) collations based on
Unicode Collation Algorithm version 14.0.0.
Collations were added for Unicode character sets
utf8mb3, utf8mb4, ucs2, utf16, utf32.
Every tailoring was added with four accent and case
sensitivity flag combinations, e.g:
* utf8mb4_uca1400_swedish_as_cs
* utf8mb4_uca1400_swedish_as_ci
* utf8mb4_uca1400_swedish_ai_cs
* utf8mb4_uca1400_swedish_ai_ci
and their _nopad_ variants:
* utf8mb4_uca1400_swedish_nopad_as_cs
* utf8mb4_uca1400_swedish_nopad_as_ci
* utf8mb4_uca1400_swedish_nopad_ai_cs
* utf8mb4_uca1400_swedish_nopad_ai_ci
- Introducing a conception of contextually typed named collations:
CREATE DATABASE db1 CHARACTER SET utf8mb4;
CREATE TABLE db1.t1 (a CHAR(10) COLLATE uca1400_as_ci);
The idea is that there is no a need to specify the character set prefix
in the new collation names. It's enough to type just the suffix
"uca1400_as_ci". The character set is taken from the context.
In the above example script the context character set is utf8mb4.
So the CREATE TABLE will make a column with the collation
utf8mb4_uca1400_as_ci.
Short collations names can be used in any parts of the SQL syntax
where the COLLATE clause is understood.
- New collations are displayed only one time
(without character set combinations) by these statements:
SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLLATIONS;
SHOW COLLATION;
For example, all these collations:
- utf8mb3_uca1400_swedish_as_ci
- utf8mb4_uca1400_swedish_as_ci
- ucs2_uca1400_swedish_as_ci
- utf16_uca1400_swedish_as_ci
- utf32_uca1400_swedish_as_ci
have just one entry in INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLLATIONS and SHOW COLLATION,
with COLLATION_NAME equal to "uca1400_swedish_as_ci", which is the suffix
without the character set name:
SELECT COLLATION_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLLATIONS
WHERE COLLATION_NAME LIKE '%uca1400_swedish_as_ci';
+-----------------------+
| COLLATION_NAME |
+-----------------------+
| uca1400_swedish_as_ci |
+-----------------------+
Note, the behaviour of old collations did not change.
Non-unicode collations (e.g. latin1_swedish_ci) and
old UCA-4.0.0 collations (e.g. utf8mb4_unicode_ci)
are still displayed with the character set prefix, as before.
- The structure of the table INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLLATIONS was changed.
The NOT NULL constraint was removed from these columns:
- CHARACTER_SET_NAME
- ID
- IS_DEFAULT
and from the corresponding columns in SHOW COLLATION.
For example:
SELECT COLLATION_NAME, CHARACTER_SET_NAME, ID, IS_DEFAULT
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLLATIONS
WHERE COLLATION_NAME LIKE '%uca1400_swedish_as_ci';
+-----------------------+--------------------+------+------------+
| COLLATION_NAME | CHARACTER_SET_NAME | ID | IS_DEFAULT |
+-----------------------+--------------------+------+------------+
| uca1400_swedish_as_ci | NULL | NULL | NULL |
+-----------------------+--------------------+------+------------+
The NULL value in these columns now means that the collation
is applicable to multiple character sets.
The behavioir of old collations did not change.
Make sure your client programs can handle NULL values in these columns.
- The structure of the table
INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLLATION_CHARACTER_SET_APPLICABILITY was changed.
Three new NOT NULL columns were added:
- FULL_COLLATION_NAME
- ID
- IS_DEFAULT
New collations have multiple entries in COLLATION_CHARACTER_SET_APPLICABILITY.
The column COLLATION_NAME contains the collation name without the character
set prefix. The column FULL_COLLATION_NAME contains the collation name with
the character set prefix.
Old collations have full collation name in both FULL_COLLATION_NAME and
COLLATION_NAME.
SELECT COLLATION_NAME, FULL_COLLATION_NAME, CHARACTER_SET_NAME, ID, IS_DEFAULT
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLLATION_CHARACTER_SET_APPLICABILITY
WHERE FULL_COLLATION_NAME RLIKE '^(utf8mb4|latin1).*swedish.*ci$';
+-----------------------------+-------------------------------------+--------------------+------+------------+
| COLLATION_NAME | FULL_COLLATION_NAME | CHARACTER_SET_NAME | ID | IS_DEFAULT |
+-----------------------------+-------------------------------------+--------------------+------+------------+
| latin1_swedish_ci | latin1_swedish_ci | latin1 | 8 | Yes |
| latin1_swedish_nopad_ci | latin1_swedish_nopad_ci | latin1 | 1032 | |
| utf8mb4_swedish_ci | utf8mb4_swedish_ci | utf8mb4 | 232 | |
| uca1400_swedish_ai_ci | utf8mb4_uca1400_swedish_ai_ci | utf8mb4 | 2368 | |
| uca1400_swedish_as_ci | utf8mb4_uca1400_swedish_as_ci | utf8mb4 | 2370 | |
| uca1400_swedish_nopad_ai_ci | utf8mb4_uca1400_swedish_nopad_ai_ci | utf8mb4 | 2372 | |
| uca1400_swedish_nopad_as_ci | utf8mb4_uca1400_swedish_nopad_as_ci | utf8mb4 | 2374 | |
+-----------------------------+-------------------------------------+--------------------+------+------------+
- Other INFORMATION_SCHEMA queries:
SELECT COLLATION_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS;
SELECT COLLATION_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PARAMETERS;
SELECT TABLE_COLLATION FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES;
SELECT DEFAULT_COLLATION_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.SCHEMATA;
SELECT COLLATION_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINES;
SELECT COLLATION_CONNECTION FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.EVENTS;
SELECT DATABASE_COLLATION FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.EVENTS;
SELECT COLLATION_CONNECTION FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINES;
SELECT DATABASE_COLLATION FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINES;
SELECT COLLATION_CONNECTION FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TRIGGERS;
SELECT DATABASE_COLLATION FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TRIGGERS;
SELECT COLLATION_CONNECTION FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.VIEWS;
display full collation names, including character sets prefix,
for all collations, including new collations.
Corresponding SHOW commands also display full collation names
in collation related columns:
SHOW CREATE TABLE t1;
SHOW CREATE DATABASE db1;
SHOW TABLE STATUS;
SHOW CREATE FUNCTION f1;
SHOW CREATE PROCEDURE p1;
SHOW CREATE EVENT ev1;
SHOW CREATE TRIGGER tr1;
SHOW CREATE VIEW;
These INFORMATION_SCHEMA queries and SHOW statements may change in
the future, to display show collation names.
This change removed 68 explict strlen() calls from the code.
The following renames was done to ensure we don't use the old names
when merging code from earlier releases, as using the new variables
for print function could result in crashes:
- charset->csname renamed to charset->cs_name
- charset->name renamed to charset->coll_name
Almost everything where mechanical changes except:
- Changed to use the new Protocol::store(LEX_CSTRING..) when possible
- Changed to use field->store(LEX_CSTRING*, CHARSET_INFO*) when possible
- Changed to use String->append(LEX_CSTRING&) when possible
Other things:
- There where compiler issues with ensuring that all character set names
points to the same string: gcc doesn't allow one to use integer constants
when defining global structures (constant char * pointers works fine).
To get around this, I declared defines for each character set name
length.
This patch changes the main name of 3 byte character set from utf8 to
utf8mb3. New old_mode UTF8_IS_UTF8MB3 is added and set TRUE by default,
so that utf8 would mean utf8mb3. If not set, utf8 would mean utf8mb4.
This patch ensures that all identical character sets shares the same
cs->csname.
This allows us to replace strcmp() in my_charset_same() with comparisons
of pointers. This fixes a long standing performance issue that could cause
as strcmp() for every item sent trough the protocol class to the end user.
One consequence of this patch is that we don't allow one to add a character
definition in the Index.xml file that changes the csname of an existing
character set. This is by design as changing character set names of existing
ones is extremely dangerous, especially as some storage engines just records
character set numbers.
As we now have a hash over character set's csname, we can in the future
use that for faster access to a specific character set. This could be done
by changing the hash to non unique and use the hash to find the next
character set with same csname.
Replacing the slow loop in my_hash_sort_utf8mbX() to the fast
skip_trailing_spaces(), which consumes 8 bytes in one iteration,
and is around 8 times faster on long data.
Also, renaming:
- my_hash_sort_utf8() to my_hash_sort_utf8mb3()
- my_hash_sort_utf8_nopad() to my_hash_sort_utf8mb3_nopad()
to merge to 10.5 easier (automatically?).
The code did not take into account that:
- U+005C (backslash) can occupy more than mbminlen characters (e.g. in sjis)
- Some character sets do not have a code for U+005C (e.g. swe7)
Adding a new function my_wc_to_printable into MY_CHARSET_HANDLER to
cover all special cases easier.
