Problem - The default port number shown in SHOW SLAVE HOSTS is always 3306
though the slave is actually listening on a different port number.
This is a problem as the user can not be sure whether this port
value can be trusted and so client trying to read replication
topology can get confused.
Fix - 3306 ceases to be the default value of report-port. Moreover report-port
does not have a static default any longer.
Instead we initialize report-port to 0 as the new default value and change
it based on two checks :
1) If report_port is not set, the slave reports the port number its listening
on. (i.e. if report-port is not set we get the actual value of the slave's
port number).
2) If report-port is set, we show the value report-port is set to, as the slave's
port number.
On shutdown(), Windows can drop traffic still queued for sending even if that
wasn't specifically requested. As a result, fatal errors (those after
signaling which the server will drop the connection) were sometimes only
seen as "connection lost" on the client side, because the server-side
shutdown() erraneously discarded the correct error message before sending
it.
If on Windows, we now use the Windows API to access the (non-broken) equivalent
of shutdown().

MEMORY LEAK.
Background:
- There are caches for stored functions and stored procedures (SP-cache);
- There is no similar cache for events;
- Triggers are cached together with TABLE objects;
- Those SP-caches are per-session (i.e. specific to each session);
- A stored routine is represented by a sp_head-instance internally;
- SP-cache basically contains sp_head-objects of stored routines, which
have been executed in a session;
- sp_head-object is added into the SP-cache before the corresponding
stored routine is executed;
- SP-cache is flushed in the end of the session.
The problem was that SP-cache might grow without any limit. Although this
was not a pure memory leak (the SP-cache is flushed when session is closed),
this is still a problem, because the user might take much memory by
executing many stored routines.
The patch fixes this problem in the least-intrusive way. A soft limit
(similar to the size of table definition cache) is introduced. To represent
such limit the new runtime configuration parameter 'stored_program_cache'
is introduced. The value of this parameter is stored in the new global
variable stored_program_cache_size that used to control the size of SP-cache
to overflow.
The parameter 'stored_program_cache' limits number of cached routines for
each thread. It has the following min/default/max values given from support:
min = 256, default = 256, max = 512 * 1024.
Also it should be noted that this parameter limits the size of
each cache (for stored procedures and for stored functions) separately.
The SP-cache size is checked after top-level statement is parsed.
If SP-cache size exceeds the limit specified by parameter
'stored_program_cache' then SP-cache is flushed and memory allocated for
cache objects is freed. Such approach allows to flush cache safely
when there are dependencies among stored routines.
Problem : The basic problem is the way the thread sleeps in mysql-5.5 and also in mysql-5.1
when we execute a stop slave on windows platform.
On windows platform if the stop slave is executed after the master dies, we have
this long wait before the stop slave return a value. This is because there is a
sleep of the thread. The sleep is uninterruptable in the two above version,
which was fixed by Davi patch for the BUG#11765860 for mysql-trunk. Backporting
his patch for mysql-5.5 fixes the problem.
Solution : A new pair of mutex and condition variable is introduced to synchronize thread
sleep and finalization. A new mutex is required because the slave threads are
terminated while holding the slave thread locks (run_lock), which can not be
relinquished during termination as this would affect the lock order.

The problem was that dlopen() related code was using just a subset
of the path normalization routines used in other places.
Fixed the expansion of the pre-dlopen() behavior for plugins and UDFs
to use a platform-dependent consistent encoding of the paths.
Fixed the error dlopen() error handling to take the correct error message
and strip off the trailing newline character(s).
Fixed tests to do a platform independent replace of directories and to
account for the traling slash.
Added a global read-only option slow-start-timeout to control the
Windows service control manager's service start timeout, that was
currently hard-coded to be 15 seconds.
The default of the new option is 15 seconds.
The timeout can also be set to 0 (to mean no timeout applicable).
BIN LOG HAS BEEN MOVED
When moving the binary/relay log files from one location to
another and restarting the server with a different log-bin or
relay-log paths, would cause the startup process to abort. The
root cause was that the server would not be able to find the log
files because it would consider old paths for entries in the
index file instead of the new location. What's even worse, the
relative paths would not be considered relative to the path
provided in log-bin and relay-log, but to mysql_data_dir.
We fix the cases where the server contains relative paths. When
the server is reading from the index file, it checks whether the
entry contains relative paths. If it does, we replace it with the
absolute path set in log-bin/relay-log option. Absolute paths
remain unchanged and the index must be manually edited to
consider the new log-bin and/or relay-log path (this should be
documented). This is a fix for a GA version, that does not break
behavior (that much).
For development versions, we should go with Zhenxing's approach
that removes paths altogether from index files.

# message:
# Fix for Bug 57094 (Copyright notice incorrect?).
#
# The fix is to:
# - introduce ORACLE_WELCOME_COPYRIGHT_NOTICE define to have a single place
# to specify copyright notice;
# - replace custom copyright notices with ORACLE_WELCOME_COPYRIGHT_NOTICE
# in programs.
GCC 4.6 has new -Wunused-but-set-variable flag, which is enabled
by -Wall, that causes GCC to emit a warning whenever a local variable
is assigned to, but otherwise unused (aside from its declaration).
Since the maintainer mode uses -Wall and -Werror, source code which
triggers these warnings will be rejected. That is, these warnings
become hard errors.
The solution is to fix the code which triggers these specific warnings.
In most of the cases, this is a welcome cleanup as code which triggers
this warning is probably dead anyway.
This is the 5.1 version of the fix.
Need to free the memory allocated by the option parsing code for empty
strings when resetting the pointer to NULL.
No test case needed, as the existing ones already cover this path.
FAIL IN EMBEDDED SERVER
FreeBSD 64 bit needs the FP_X_DNML to fpsetmask() to prevent exceptions from
propagating into mysql (as a threaded application).
However fpsetmask() itself is deprecated in favor of fedisableexcept().
1. Fixed the #ifdef to check for FP_X_DNML instead of i386.
2. Added a configure.in check for fedisableexcept() and, if present,
this function is called insted of the fpsetmask().
No need for new tests, as the existing tests cover this already.
Removed the affected tests from the experimental list.
Problem: MYSQL_BIN_LOG::reset_logs acquires mutexes in wrong order.
The correct order is first LOCK_thread_count and then LOCK_log. This function
does it the other way around. This leads to deadlock when run in parallel
with a thread that takes the two locks in correct order. For example, a thread
that disconnects will take the locks in the correct order.
Fix: change order of the locks in MYSQL_BIN_LOG::reset_logs:
first LOCK_thread_count and then LOCK_log.
USING '..' ON WINDOWS
Backport of the fix to 5.0 (to be null-merged to 5.1).
Moved the test into the main test suite.
Made mysql-test-run.pl to not use symlinks for sdtdata as the symlinks
are now properly recognized by secure_file_priv.
Made sure the paths in load_file(), LOAD DATA and SELECT .. INTO OUTFILE
that are checked against secure_file_priv in a correct way similarly to 5.1
by the extended is_secure_file_path() backport before the comparison.
Added an extensive test with all the variants of upper/lower case,
slash/backslash and case sensitivity.
Added few comments to the code.
ARE NOT BEING HONORED
max_allowed_packet works in conjunction with net_buffer_length.
max_allowed_packet is an upper bound of net_buffer_length.
So it doesn't make sense to set the upper limit lower than the value.
Added a warning (using ER_UNKNOWN_ERRROR and a specific message)
when this is done (in the log at startup and when setting either
max_allowed_packet or the net_buffer_length variables)
Added a test case.
Fixed several tests that broke the above rule.
The problem was that server didn't check resulting size of prepared
statement argument which was set using mysql_send_long_data() API.
By calling mysql_send_long_data() several times it was possible
to create overly big string and thus force server to allocate
memory for it. There was no way to limit this allocation.
The solution is to add check for size of result string against
value of max_long_data_size start-up parameter. When intermediate
string exceeds max_long_data_size value an appropriate error message
is emitted.
We can't use existing max_allowed_packet parameter for this purpose
since its value is limited by 1GB and therefore using it as a limit
for data set through mysql_send_long_data() API would have been an
incompatible change. Newly introduced max_long_data_size parameter
gets value from max_allowed_packet parameter unless its value is
specified explicitly. This new parameter is marked as deprecated
and will be eventually replaced by max_allowed_packet parameter.
Value of max_long_data_size parameter can be set only at server
startup.
