The cause for this bug is that the method JOIN::get_examined_rows iterates over all
JOIN_TABs of the join assuming they are just a sequence. In the query above, the
innermost subquery is merged into its parent query. When we call
JOIN::get_examined_rows for the second-level subquery, the iteration that
assumes sequential order of join tabs goes outside the join_tab array and calls
the method JOIN_TAB::get_examined_rows on uninitialized memory.
The fix is to iterate over JOIN_TABs in a way that takes into account the nested
semi-join structure of JOIN_TABs. In particular iterate as select_describe.
The patch enables back constant subquery execution during
query optimization after it was disabled during the development
of MWL#89 (cost-based choice of IN-TO-EXISTS vs MATERIALIZATION).
The main idea is that constant subqueries are allowed to be executed
during optimization if their execution is not expensive.
The approach is as follows:
- Constant subqueries are recursively optimized in the beginning of
JOIN::optimize of the outer query. This is done by the new method
JOIN::optimize_constant_subqueries(). This is done so that the cost
of executing these queries can be estimated.
- Optimization of the outer query proceeds normally. During this phase
the optimizer may request execution of non-expensive constant subqueries.
Each place where the optimizer may potentially execute an expensive
expression is guarded with the predicate Item::is_expensive().
- The implementation of Item_subselect::is_expensive has been extended
to use the number of examined rows (estimated by the optimizer) as a
way to determine whether the subquery is expensive or not.
- The new system variable "expensive_subquery_limit" controls how many
examined rows are considered to be not expensive. The default is 100.
In addition, multiple changes were needed to make this solution work
in the light of the changes made by MWL#89. These changes were needed
to fix various crashes and wrong results, and legacy bugs discovered
during development.
- It turns out, there is a case where the join is degenerate, but
join->table_count!= && join->tables_list!=NULL. Need to also check
if join->zero_result_cause!=NULL, too.
- There is a slight problem: The code sets
zero_result_cause= "no matching row in const table"
when NOT running EXPLAIN. The result is that SHOW EXPLAIN will show this line while
regular EXPLAIN will not.
This will contune the test case even if there was an error
and makes it easier to run a test that contains many sub tests against one engine.

If we did nothing in resolving unique table conflict we should not retry (it leed to infinite loop).
Now we retry (recheck) unique table check only in case if we materialized a table.
- Let fix_semijoin_strategies_for_picked_join_order() set
POSITION::prefix_record_count for POSITION records that it copies from
SJ_MATERIALIZATION_INFO::tables.
(These records do not have prefix_record_count set, because they are optimized
as joins-inside-semijoin-nests, without full advance_sj_state() processing).
The not_null_tables() of Item_func_not_all and Item_in_optimizer was inherited from
Item_func by mistake. It made the optimizer think that subquery
predicates with ALL/ANY/IN were null-rejecting. This could trigger invalid
conversions of outer joins into inner joins.
Make SHOW EXPLAIN work for queries that do "Using temporary" and/or "Using filesort"
- Patch#1: Don't lose "Using temporary/filesort" in the SHOW EXPLAIN output.
The failures are missing entries in the slow query log. The reason for the failure are sleep() calls with short duration 10ms, which is less than the default system timer resolution for various WaitForXXXObject functions (15.6 ms) and thus can't work reliably.
The fix is to make sleeps tiny bit longer (20ms from 10ms) in the test.

Merging the fix from mysql-5.1 to mysql-5.5
mysql-test/t/mysqldump.test:
There is a difference in the testcase which is added as
part of this fix, when compared with mysql-5.1. In mysql-5.5
and mysql-5.6, "DROP mysql database" fails by enabling
logging, hence removed those lines.

Problem Statement:
------------------
mysqldump is not having the dump stmts for general_log and slow_log
tables. That is because of the fix for Bug#26121. Hence, after
dropping the mysql database, and applying the dump by enabling the
logging, "'general_log' table not found" errors are logged into the
server log file.
Analysis:
---------
As part of the fix for Bug#26121, we skipped the dumping of tables
for general_log and slow_log, because the data dump of those tables
are taking LOCKS, which is not allowed for log tables.
Fix:
----
We came up with an approach that instead of taking both meta data
and data dump information for those tables, take only the meta data
dump which doesn't need LOCKS.
As part of fixing the issue we came up with below algorithm.
Design before fix:
1) mysql database is having tables like db, event,... general_log,
... slow_log...
2) Skip general_log and slow_log while preparing the tables list
3) Take the TL_READ lock on tables which are present in the table
list and do 'show create table'.
4) Release the lock.
Design with the fix:
1) mysql database is having tables like db, event,... general_log,
... slow_log...
2) Skip general_log and slow_log while preparing the tables list
3) Explicitly call the 'show create table' for general_log and
slow_log
3) Take the TL_READ lock on tables which are present in the table
list and do 'show create table'.
4) Release the lock.
While taking the meta data dump for general_log and slow_log the
"CREATE TABLE" is replaced with "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS".
This is because we skipped "DROP TABLE" for those tables,
"DROP TABLE" fails for these tables if logging is enabled.
Customer is applying the dump by enabling logging so, if the dump
has "DROP TABLE" it will fail. Hence, removed the "DROP TABLE"
stmts for those tables.
After the fix we could observe "Table 'mysql.general_log'
doesn't exist" errors initially that is because in the customer
scenario they are dropping the mysql database by enabling the
logging, Hence, those errors are expected. Once we apply the
dump which is taken before the "drop database mysql", the errors
will not be there.
client/mysqldump.c:
In get_table_structure() added code to skip the DROP TABLE stmts for general_log
and slow_log tables, because when logging is enabled those stmts will fail. And
replaced CREATE TABLE with CREATE IF NOT EXISTS for those tables, just to make
sure CREATE stmt for those tables doesn't fail since we removed DROP stmts for
those tables.
In dump_all_tables_in_db() added code to call get_table_structure() for
general_log and slow_log tables.

Original comment:

BUG#12640437 - USING SQL_BUFFER_RESULT RESULTS IN A DIFFERENT
QUERY OUTPUT
For all but simple grouped queries, temporary tables are used to
resolve grouping. In these cases, the list of grouping fields is
stored in the temporary table and grouping is resolved
there (e.g. by adding a unique constraint on the involved
fields). Because of this, grouping is already done when the rows
are read from the temporary table.
In the case where a group clause may be optimized away, grouping
does not have to be resolved using a temporary table. However, if
a temporary table is explicitly requested (e.g. because the
SQL_BUFFER_RESULT hint is used, or the statement is
INSERT...SELECT), a temporary table is used anyway. In this case,
the temporary table is created with an empty group list (because
the group clause was optimized away) and it will therefore not
create groups. Since the temporary table does not take care of
grouping, JOIN::group shall not be set to false in
make_simple_join(). This was fixed in bug 12578908.
However, there is an exception where make_simple_join() should
set JOIN::group to false even if the query uses a temporary table
that was explicitly requested but is not strictly needed. That
exception is if the loose index scan access method (explain
says "Using index for group-by") is used to read into the
temporary table. With loose index scan, grouping is resolved
by the access method. This is exactly what happens in this bug.

Original comment:
The crash is caused by arbitrary memory area owerwriting in case of
BLOB fields during attempt to copy BLOB field key image into record
buffer(record buffer is too small to get BLOB key part image).
note:
QUICK_GROUP_MIN_MAX_SELECT can not work with BLOB fields
because it uses record buffer as temporary buffer for key values
however this case is filtered out by covering_keys() check
in get_best_group_min_max() as BLOBs always require key length
modificator in the key declaration and if the key has a BLOB
then it can not be covered key.
The fix is to use 'max_used_key_length' key length instead of 0.
Analysis:
Spcifically the crash in this bug was a result of the call to key_copy()
that copied the whole key, inlcuding the BLOB field which is not used
for index access. Copying the blob field overwrote memory as far as the
function parameter 'key_info'. As a result the contents of key_info was
all 0, which resulted in a crash when this key_info was accessed few
lines below in key_cmp().
The problem was increment of aborted_threads variable due to thd->killed which was set when threadpool connection was terminated . The fix is not to set thd->killed anymore, there is no real reason for doing it..
Added a test that checks that status variable aborted_clients does not grow for ordinary disconnects, and that successful KILL increments this variable.
The problem was in the code (update_const_equal_items()) which marked
index parts constant independently of the place where the equality was used.
In the test suite it marked t2_1.c part constant despite the fact that
it connected by OR with other expression.
Solution is to mark constant only top equalities connected with AND.
