SUPER privilege used to allow various actions that were alternatively
allowed by one of BINLOG ADMIN, BINLOG MONITOR, BINLOG REPLAY,
CONNECTION ADMIN, FEDERATED ADMIN, REPL MASTER ADMIN, REPL SLAVE ADMIN,
SET USER, SLAVE MONITOR.
Now SUPER no longer does that, one has to grant one of the fine-grained
privileges above to be to perform corresponding actions.
On upgrade from MariaDB versions 10.11 and below all the privileges
above are granted automatically if the user has SUPER.
As a side-effect, such an upgrade will allow SUPER-user to run SHOW
BINLOG EVENTS, SHOW RELAYLOG EVENTS, SHOW SLAVE HOSTS, even if he wasn't
able to do it before the upgrade.
This was done after discussions with Igor, Sanja and Bar.
The main reason for removing the deprication was to ensure that MariaDB
is always backward compatible whenever possible.
Other things:
- Added statistics counters, mainly for the feedback plugin.
- INTO OUTFILE
- INTO variable
- If INTO is using the old syntax (end of query)
To prevent ASAN heap-use-after-poison in the MDEV-16549 part of
./mtr --repeat=6 main.derived
the initialization of Name_resolution_context was cleaned up.
=========== Problem =============
- `show columns` is not working for temporary tables, even though there
is enough privilege `create temporary tables`.
=========== Solution =============
- Append `TMP_TABLE_ACLS` privilege when running `show columns` for temp
tables.
- Additionally `check_access()` for database only once, not for each
field
=========== Additionally =============
- Update comments for function `check_table_access` arguments

This feature adds the functionality of ignorability for indexes.
Indexes are not ignored be default.
To control index ignorability explicitly for a new index,
use IGNORE or NOT IGNORE as part of the index definition for
CREATE TABLE, CREATE INDEX, or ALTER TABLE.
Primary keys (explicit or implicit) cannot be made ignorable.
The table INFORMATION_SCHEMA.STATISTICS get a new column named IGNORED that
would store whether an index needs to be ignored or not.
Also fixes:
MDEV-21487: Implement option for mysql_upgrade that allows root@localhost to be replaced
MDEV-21486: Implement option for mysql_install_db that allows root@localhost to be replaced
Add user mariadb.sys to be definer of user view
(and has right on underlying table global_priv for
required operation over global_priv
(SELECT,UPDATE,DELETE))
Also changed definer of gis functions in case of creation,
but they work with any definer so upgrade script do not try
to push this change.
Support SET PASSWORD for authentication plugins.
Authentication plugin API is extended with two optional methods:
* hash_password() is used to compute a password hash (or digest)
from the plain-text password. This digest will be stored in mysql.user
table
* preprocess_hash() is used to convert this digest into some memory
representation that can be later used to authenticate a user.
Build-in plugins convert the hash from hexadecimal or base64 to binary,
to avoid doing it on every authentication attempt.
Note a change in behavior: when loading privileges (on startup or on
FLUSH PRIVILEGES) an account with an unknown plugin was loaded with a
warning (e.g. "Plugin 'foo' is not loaded"). But such an account could
not be used for authentication until the plugin is installed. Now an
account like that will not be loaded at all (with a warning, still).
Indeed, without plugin's preprocess_hash() method the server cannot know
how to load an account. Thus, if a new authentication plugin is
installed run-time, one might need FLUSH PRIVILEGES to activate all
existing accounts that were using this new plugin.
Don't distinguish between a "password hash" and "authentication string"
anymore. Now both are stored in mysql.user.authentication_string, both
are handled identically internally. A "password hash" is just how some
particular plugins interpret authentication string.
Set mysql.user.plugin even if there is no password. The server will use
mysql_native_password plugin in these cases, let's make it expicit.
Remove LEX_USER::pwhash.
