MDEV-7618 introduced configuration parameter innodb_instrument_semaphores
in MariaDB Server 10.1. The parameter seems to only affect the rw-lock
X-latch acquisition. Extra fields are added to rw_lock_t to remember one
X-latch holder or waiter. These fields are not being consulted or reported
anywhere. This is basically only adding code bloat.
If the intention is to debug hangs or deadlocks, we have better tools for
that in the debug server, and for the non-debug server, core dumps can
reveal a lot. For example, the mini-transaction memo records the
currently held buffer block or index rw-locks, to be released at
mtr_t::commit().
The configuration parameter innodb_instrument_semaphores will be
deprecated in 10.2.5 and removed in 10.3.0.
rw_lock_t: Remove the members lock_name, file_name, line, thread_id
which did not affect any output.
MDEV-7399: Add support for INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_MUTEXES
MDEV-7618: Improve semaphore instrumentation
Introduced two new information schema tables to monitor mutex waits
and semaphore waits. Added a new configuration variable
innodb_intrument_semaphores to add thread_id, file name and
line of current holder of mutex/rw_lock.
