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

BUG#46364 MyISAM transbuffer problems (NTM problem)
It is well-known that due to concurrency issues, a slave can become
inconsistent when a transaction contains updates to both transaction and
non-transactional tables.
In a nutshell, the current code-base tries to preserve causality among the
statements by writing non-transactional statements to the txn-cache which
is flushed upon commit. However, modifications done to non-transactional
tables on behalf of a transaction become immediately visible to other
connections but may not immediately get into the binary log and therefore
consistency may be broken.
In general, it is impossible to automatically detect causality/dependency
among statements by just analyzing the statements sent to the server. This
happen because dependency may be hidden in the application code and it is
necessary to know a priori all the statements processed in the context of
a transaction such as in a procedure. Moreover, even for the few cases that
we could automatically address in the server, the computation effort
required could make the approach infeasible.
So, in this patch we introduce the option
- "--binlog-direct-non-transactional-updates" that can be used to bypass
the current behavior in order to write directly to binary log statements
that change non-transactional tables.
Besides, it is used to enable the WL#2687 which is disabled by default.
