ROOT
DESCRIPTION
===========
If the .pid file is created at a world-writable location,
it can be compromised by replacing the server's pid with
another running server's (or some other non-mysql process)
PID causing abnormal behaviour.
ANALYSIS
========
In such a case, user should be warned that .pid file is
being created at a world-writable location.
FIX
===
A new function is_file_or_dir_world_writable() is defined
and it is called in create_pid_file() before .pid file
creation. If the location is world-writable, a relevant
warning is thrown.
NOTE
====
1. PID file is always created with permission bit 0664, so
for outside world its read-only.
2. Ignoring the case when permission is denied to get the
dir stats since the .pid file creation would fail anyway in
such a case.
This was done to get more information about where time is spent.
Now we can get proper timing for time spent in commit, rollback,
binlog write etc.
Following stages was added:
- Commit
- Commit_implicit
- Rollback
- Rollback implicit
- Binlog write
- Init for update
- This is used instead of "Init" for insert, update and delete.
- Staring cleanup
Following stages where changed:
- "Unlocking tables" stage reset stage to previous stage at end
- "binlog write" stage resets stage to previous stage at end
- "end" -> "end of update loop"
- "cleaning up" -> "Reset for next command"
- Added stage_searching_rows_for_update when searching for rows
to be deleted.
Other things:
- Renamed all stages to start with big letter (before there was no
consitency)
- Increased performance_schema_max_stage_classes from 150 to 160.
- Most of the test changes in performance schema comes from renaming of
stages.
- Removed duplicate output of variables and inital state in a lot of
performance schema tests.
This was done to make it easier to change a default value for a
performance variable without affecting all tests.
- Added start_server_variables.test to check configuration
- Removed some duplicate "closing tables" stages
- Updated position for "stage_init_update" and "stage_updating" for
delete, insert and update to be just before update loop (for more
exact timing).
- Don't set "Checking permissions" twice in a row.
- Remove stage_end stage from creating views (not done for create table
either).
- Updated default performance history size from 10 to 20 because of new
stages
- Ensure that ps_enabled is correct (to be used in a later patch)
The background is that one user had a lot of views and using some complex
queries on information schema temporary memory of more than 2G was used.
- Added new element 'total_alloc' to MEM_ROOT for easier debugging.
- Added MAX_MEMORY_USED to information_schema.processlist.
- Added new status variable "Memory_used_initial" that shows how much MariaDB
uses at startup. This gives the base value for "Memory_used".
- Reuse memory continuously for information schema queries instead of
only freeing memory at query end.
Other things
- Removed some not needed set_notnull() calls for not null columns.
'version' variables.
The warnings occur on Windows build, yet they are also are valid
on 32bit Unix.
Fix is to consistently use 64bit integer on all platforms.
- Fix win64 pointer truncation warnings
(usually coming from misusing 0x%lx and long cast in DBUG)
- Also fix printf-format warnings
Make the above mentioned warnings fatal.
- fix pthread_join on Windows to set return value.
- Added missing delete thd in bootstrap()
- Delete wrong 'delete thd' in start_wsrep_THD()
- Added missing 'delete thd' in case of SCHEDULER_ONE_THREAD_PER_CONNECTION
- Delete wrong dec_thread_running() in destroy_thd() as it caused thread_running
to be wrong.
- Moved reset_killed() to a normal function to make it easier to debug
- Added check of mutex in wsrep_aborting_thd... functions
full server recovery is performed .
We start "mysqld" with --bootstrap
and pass bootstrap script consisting of several FLUSH TABLES FOR export/
UNLOCK TABLES
Storage engine independent support for column compression.
TINYBLOB, BLOB, MEDIUMBLOB, LONGBLOB, TINYTEXT, TEXT, MEDIUMTEXT, LONGTEXT,
VARCHAR and VARBINARY columns can be compressed.
New COMPRESSED column attribute added:
COMPRESSED[=<compression_method>]
System variables added:
column_compression_threshold
column_compression_zlib_level
column_compression_zlib_strategy
column_compression_zlib_wrap
Status variables added:
Column_compressions
Column_decompressions
Limitations:
- the only supported method currently is zlib
- CSV storage engine stores data uncompressed on-disk even if COMPRESSED
attribute is present
- it is not possible to create indexes over compressed columns.
ATTRIBUTE_NORETURN is supported on all platforms (MSVS and GCC-like).
It declares that a function will not return; instead, the thread or
the whole process will terminate.
ATTRIBUTE_COLD is supported starting with GCC 4.3. It declares that
a function is supposed to be executed rarely. Rarely used error-handling
functions and functions that emit messages to the error log should be
tagged such.
For running the Galera tests, the variable my_disable_leak_check
was set to true in order to avoid assertions due to memory leaks
at shutdown.
Some adjustments due to MDEV-13625 (merge InnoDB tests from MySQL 5.6)
were performed. The most notable behaviour changes from 10.0 and 10.1
are the following:
* innodb.innodb-table-online: adjustments for the DROP COLUMN
behaviour change (MDEV-11114, MDEV-13613)
* innodb.innodb-index-online-fk: the removal of a (1,NULL) record
from the result; originally removed in MySQL 5.7 in the
Oracle Bug #16244691 fix
377774689b
* innodb.create-index-debug: disabled due to MDEV-13680
(the MySQL Bug #77497 fix was not merged from 5.6 to 5.7.10)
* innodb.innodb-alter-autoinc: MariaDB 10.2 behaves like MySQL 5.6/5.7,
while MariaDB 10.0 and 10.1 assign different values when
auto_increment_increment or auto_increment_offset are used.
Also MySQL 5.6/5.7 exhibit different behaviour between
LGORITHM=INPLACE and ALGORITHM=COPY, so something needs to be tested
and fixed in both MariaDB 10.0 and 10.2.
* innodb.innodb-wl5980-alter: disabled because it would trigger an
InnoDB assertion failure (MDEV-13668 may need additional effort in 10.2)
