There were two newly enabled warnings:
1. cast for a function pointers. Affected sql_analyse.h, mi_write.c
and ma_write.cc, mf_iocache-t.cc, mysqlbinlog.cc, encryption.cc, etc
2. memcpy/memset of nontrivial structures. Fixed as:
* the warning disabled for InnoDB
* TABLE, TABLE_SHARE, and TABLE_LIST got a new method reset() which
does the bzero(), which is safe for these classes, but any other
bzero() will still cause a warning
* Table_scope_and_contents_source_st uses `TABLE_LIST *` (trivial)
instead of `SQL_I_List<TABLE_LIST>` (not trivial) so it's safe to
bzero now.
* added casts in debug_sync.cc and sql_select.cc (for JOIN)
* move assignment method for MDL_request instead of memcpy()
* PARTIAL_INDEX_INTERSECT_INFO::init() instead of bzero()
* remove constructor from READ_RECORD() to make it trivial
* replace some memcpy() with c++ copy assignments
The assertion failure was caused by an incorrectly set read_set for
functions in the ORDER BY clause in part of a union, when we are using
a mergeable view and the order by clause can be skipped (removed).
An order by clause can be skipped if it's part of one part of the UNION as
the result set is not meaningful when multiple SELECT queries are UNIONed. The
server is aware of this optimization and tries to remove the order by
clause before JOIN::prepare. The problem is that we need to throw an
error when the ORDER BY clause contains invalid columns. To do this, we
attempt resolving the ORDER BY expressions, then subsequently drop them
if resolution succeeded. However, ORDER BY resolution had the side
effect of adding the expressions to the all_fields list, which is used
to construct temporary tables to store the result. We may be ignoring
the ORDER BY statement, but the tmp table still tried to compute the
values for the expressions, even if the columns are never used.
The assertion only shows itself if the order by clause contains members
which were not previously in the select list, and are part of a
function.
There is an additional question as to why this only manifests when using
VIEWS and not when using a regular table. The difference lies with the
"reset" of the read_set for the temporary table during
SELECT_LEX::update_used_tables() in JOIN::optimize(). The changes
introduced in fdf789a7ea cleared the
read_set when a mergeable view is encountered in the TABLE_LIST
defintion.
Upon initial order_list resolution, the table's read_set is updated
correctly. JOIN::optimize() will only reset the read_set if it
encounters a VIEW. Since we no longer have ORDER BY clause in
JOIN::optimize() we never get to correctly update the read_set again.

resolution when we "can_skip_sort_order":

Solution:
Don't add the resolved ORDER BY elements to all_fields. We only resolve
them to check if an error should be returned for the query. Ignore them
completely otherwise.
If the optimizer chose an execution plan where
a semi-join nest were materialized and the
result of materialization was scanned to access
other tables by ref access it could build a key
over columns of the tables from the nest that
were actually inaccessible.
The patch performs a proper check whether a key
that uses columns of the tables from a materialized
semi-join nest can be employed to access outer tables.
Variant #4 of the fix.
Make ORDER BY optimization functions take into account multiple
equalities. This is done in several places:
- remove_const() checks whether we can sort the first table in the
join, or we need to put rows into temp.table and then sort.
- test_if_order_by_key() checks whether there are indexes that
can be used to produce the required ordering
- make_unireg_sortorder() constructs sort criteria for filesort.
This task is to allow storage engines that can execute GROUP BY or
summary queries efficiently to intercept a full query or sub query from
MariaDB and deliver the result either to the client or to a temporary
table for further processing.
- Added code in sql_select.cc to intercept GROUP BY queries.
Creation of group_by_handler is done after all optimizations to allow
storage engine to benefit of an optimized WHERE clause and suggested
indexes to use.
- Added group by handler to sequence engine and a group_by test suite as
a way to test the new interface.
- Intercept EXPLAIN with a message "Storage engine handles GROUP BY"

Added new group_by_handler files
sql/CMakeLists.txt:
Added new group_by_handler files
sql/group_by_handler.cc:
Implementation of group_by_handler functions
sql/group_by_handler.h:
Definition of group_by_handler class
sql/handler.h:
Added handlerton function to create a group_by_handler, if the storage
engine can intercept the query.
sql/item_cmpfunc.cc:
Allow one to evaluate item_equal any time.
sql/sql_select.cc:
Added code to intercept GROUP BY queries
- If all tables are from the same storage engine and the query is
using sum functions, call create_group_by() to check if the storage
engine can intercept the query.
- If yes:
- create a temporary table to hold a GROUP_BY row or result
- In do_select() intercept normal query execution by instead
calling the group_by_handler to get the result
- Intercept EXPLAIN
sql/sql_select.h:
Added handling of group_by_handler
Added caching of the original join tab (needed for cleanup after
group_by handler)

Test group_by_handler interface
storage/sequence/mysql-test/sequence/group_by.test:
Test group_by_handler interface
storage/sequence/sequence.cc:
Added simple group_by_engine for handling COUNT(*) and
SUM(primary_key). This was done as a test of the group_by_handler
interface
- Added mem_root to all calls to new Item
- Added private method operator new(size_t size) to Item to ensure that
we always use a mem_root when creating an item.
This saves use once call to current_thd per Item creation
Added mandatory thd parameter to Item (and all derivative classes) constructor.
Added thd parameter to all routines that may create items.
Also removed "current_thd" from Item::Item. This reduced number of
pthread_getspecific() calls from 290 to 177 per OLTP RO transaction.
- Make semi-join optimizer not to choose LooseScan
when 1) the index is not covered and 2) full index
scan will be required.
- Make sure that the code in make_join_select() that may change
full index scan into a range scan is not invoked when the table
uses full scan.
- Changed ER(ER_...) to ER_THD(thd, ER_...) when thd was known or if there was many calls to current_thd in the same function.
- Changed ER(ER_..) to ER_THD_OR_DEFAULT(current_thd, ER...) in some places where current_thd is not necessary defined.
- Removing calls to current_thd when we have access to thd
Part of this is optimization (not calling current_thd when not needed),
but part is bug fixing for error condition when current_thd is not defined
(For example on startup and end of mysqld)
Notable renames done as otherwise a lot of functions would have to be changed:
- In JOIN structure renamed:
examined_rows -> join_examined_rows
record_count -> join_record_count
- In Field, renamed new_field() to make_new_field()
Other things:
- Added DBUG_ASSERT(thd == tmp_thd) in Item_singlerow_subselect() just to be safe.
- Removed old 'tab' prefix in JOIN_TAB::save_explain_data() and use members directly
- Added 'thd' as argument to a few functions to avoid calling current_thd.
Fixed several optimizer issues relatied to GROUP BY:
a) Refering to a SELECT column in HAVING sometimes calculated it twice, which caused problems with non determinstic functions
b) Removing duplicate fields and constants from GROUP BY was done too late for "using index for group by" optimization to work
c) EXPLAIN SELECT ... GROUP BY did wrongly show 'Using filesort' in some cases involving "Using index for group-by"
a) was fixed by:
- Changed last argument to Item::split_sum_func2() from bool to int to allow more flags
- Added flag argument to Item::split_sum_func() to allow on to specify if the item was in the SELECT part
- Mark all split_sum_func() calls from SELECT with SPLIT_SUM_SELECT
- Changed split_sum_func2() to do nothing if called with an argument that is not a sum function and doesn't include sum functions, if we are not an argument to SELECT.
This ensures that in a case like
select a*sum(b) as f1 from t1 where a=1 group by c having f1 <= 10;
That 'a' in the SELECT part is stored as a reference in the temporary table togeher with sum(b) while the 'a' in having isn't (not needed as 'a' is already a reference to a column in the result)
b) was fixed by:
- Added an extra remove_const() pass for GROUP BY arguments before make_join_statistics() in case of one table SELECT.
This allowes get_best_group_min_max() to optimize things better.
c) was fixed by:
- Added test for group by optimization in JOIN::exec_inner for
select->quick->get_type() == QUICK_SELECT_I::QS_TYPE_GROUP_MIN_MAX
item.cc:
- Simplifed Item::split_sum_func2()
- Split test to make them faster and easier to read
- Changed last argument to Item::split_sum_func2() from bool to int to allow more flags
- Added flag argument to Item::split_sum_func() to allow on to specify if the item was in the SELECT part
- Changed split_sum_func2() to do nothing if called with an argument that is not a sum function and doesn't include sum functions, if we are not an argument to SELECT.
opt_range.cc:
- Simplified get_best_group_min_max() by calcuating first how many group_by elements.
- Use join->group instead of join->group_list to test if group by, as join->group_list may be NULL if everything was optimized away.
sql_select.cc:
- Added an extra remove_const() pass for GROUP BY arguments before make_join_statistics() in case of one table SELECT.
- Use group instead of group_list to test if group by, as group_list may be NULL if everything was optimized away.
- Moved printing of "Error in remove_const" to remove_const() instead of having it in caller.
- Simplified some if tests by re-ordering code.
- update_depend_map_for_order() and remove_const() fixed to handle the case where make_join_statistics() has not yet been called (join->join_tab is 0 in this case)
This is MDEV-7601, including it's sub tasks MDEV-7594, MDEV-7555, MDEV-7590, MDEV-7581, MDEV-7589
The problem was that select_lex->non_agg_fields was not properly reset for re-execution and this caused an overwrite of a random memory position.
The fix was move non_agg_fields from select_lext to JOIN, which is properly reset.
Split first_breadth_first_tab() into
JOIN::first_breadth_first_optimization_tab() and
JOIN::first_breadth_first_execution_tab().
This allows to eliminate function call and one condition. Adjusted callers
accordingly.
Overhead change:
first_breadth_first_tab() 0.07% -> out of radar
next_breadth_first_tab() 0.04% -> 0.04%
JOIN::cleanup() 0.15% -> 0.11%
JOIN::save_explain_data_intern() 0.28% -> 0.24%
Step#5: changing the function remove_eq_conds() into a virtual method in Item.
It removes 6 virtual calls for Item_func::type(), and adds only 2
virtual calls for Item***::remove_eq_conds().
sql_alloc() has additional costs compared to direct mem_root allocation:
- function call: it is defined in a separate translation unit and can't be
inlined
- it needs to call pthread_getspecific() to get THD::mem_root
It is called dozens of times implicitely at least by:
- List<>::push_back()
- List<>::push_front()
- new (for Sql_alloc derived classes)
- sql_memdup()
Replaced lots of implicit sql_alloc() calls with direct mem_root allocation,
passing through THD pointer whenever it is needed.
Number of sql_alloc() calls reduced 345 -> 41 per OLTP RO transaction.
pthread_getspecific() overhead dropped 0.76 -> 0.59
sql_alloc() overhed dropped 0.25 -> 0.06
- Remove ANALYZE's timing code off the the execution path of regular
SELECTs.
- Improve the tracker that tracks counts/execution times of SELECTs or
DML statements:
= regular execution just increments counters
= ANALYZE will also collect timings.
JOIN::cur_dups_producing_tables was not maintained correctly in
the cases of greedy optimization (search_depth < n_tables).
Moved it to POSITION structure where it will be maintained automatically.
Removed POSITION::prefix_dups_producing_tables since its value can now
be calculated.
Show total execution time (r_total_time_ms) for various parts of the
query:
1. time spent in SELECTs
2. time spent reading rows from storage engines
#2 currently gets the data from P_S.
Temporary table count fix. The number of temporary tables was increased
when the table is not actually created. (when do_not_open was passed
as TRUE to create_tmp_table).
