Bug #36569: UPDATE ... WHERE ... ORDER BY... always does a
filesort even if not required
Also two bugs reported after QA review (before the commit
of bugs above to public trees, no documentation needed):
Bug #53737: Performance regressions after applying patch
for bug 36569
Bug #53742: UPDATEs have no effect after applying patch
for bug 36569
Execution of single-table UPDATE and DELETE statements did not use the
same optimizer as was used in the compilation of SELECT statements.
Instead, it had an optimizer of its own that did not take into account
that you can omit sorting by retrieving rows using an index.
Extra optimization has been added: when applicable, single-table
UPDATE/DELETE statements use an existing index instead of filesort. A
corresponding SELECT query would do the former.
Also handling of the DESC ordering expression has been added when
reverse index scan is applicable.
From now on most single table UPDATE and DELETE statements show the
same disk access patterns as the corresponding SELECT query. We verify
this by comparing the result of SHOW STATUS LIKE 'Sort%
Currently the get_index_for_order function
a) checks quick select index (if any) for compatibility with the
ORDER expression list or
b) chooses the cheapest available compatible index, but only if
the index scan is cheaper than filesort.
Second way is implemented by the new test_if_cheaper_ordering
function (extracted part the test_if_skip_sort_order()).
Incorrect handling of NULL arguments could lead to a crash on
the IN or CASE operations when either NULL arguments were
passed explicitly as arguments (IN) or implicitly generated by
the WITH ROLLUP modifier (both IN and CASE).
Item_func_case::find_item() assumed all necessary comparators
to be instantiated in fix_length_and_dec(). However, in the
presence of WITH ROLLUP modifier, arguments could be
substituted with an Item_null leading to an "unexpected"
STRING_RESULT comparator being invoked.
In addition to the problem identical to the above,
Item_func_in::val_int() could crash even with explicitly passed
NULL arguments due to an optimization in fix_length_and_dec()
leading to NULL arguments being ignored during comparators
creation.
In process of record search it is not taken into account
that inital quick->file->ref value could be inapplicable
to range interval. After proper row is found this value is
stored into the record buffer and later the record is
filtered out at condition evaluation stage.
The fix is store a refernce of found row to the handler ref field.
Problem: a flaw (derefencing a NULL pointer) in the LIKE optimization
code may lead to a server crash in some rare cases.
Fix: check the pointer before its dereferencing.

Problem: server may read from unassigned memory performing
"wrong" BINLOG queries.
Fix: never read from unassigned memory.
The default storage engine is changed from MyISAM to
InnoDB, in all builds except for the embedded server.
In addition, the following system variables are
changed:
* innodb_file_per_table is enabled
* innodb_strict_mode is enabled
* innodb_file_format_name_update is changed
to 'Barracuda'
The test suite is changed so that tests that do not
explicitly include the have_innodb.inc are run with
--default-storage-engine=MyISAM. This is to ease the
transition, so that most regression tests are run
with the same engine as before.
Some tests are disabled for the embedded server
regression test, as the output of certain statements
will be different that for the regular server
(i.e SELECT @@default_storage_engine). This is to
ease transition.
and innodb_file_format_max two system variables. And this also fixes
bug #53654 after 2nd shutdown innodb_file_format_check attains strange
values.
rb://366 approved by Marko
On [Open]Solaris/x86 the FPU was not switched to 64-bit double
precision mode when the server binary was built with Sun
Studio. That caused GIS test failures due to differences in
expected and actual results.

sporadically".
Races in truncate_coverage.test have caused its sporadical
failures.
In the test case we have tried to kill truncate statement
being executed in the first connection which was waiting
for X metadata lock on table being locked by the second
connection. Since we have released metadata lock held by
the second connection right after issuing KILL statement
sometimes TRUNCATE TABLE managed to acquire X lock before
it has noticed that it was killed. In this case TRUNCATE
TABLE was successfully executed till its end and this fact
has caused test failure since this statement didn't return
expected error in such case.
This patch addresses the problem by not releasing metadata
locks in the second connections prematurely.
