mtr detects a forced combination if the command line for a test already
includes all options from this combination. options are stored in a perl
hash as (key,value) pairs.
this breaks if the command line has two options with the same name,
like --plugin-load-add=foo --plugin-load-add=bar, and the combination
forces plugin foo.
In particular, this resulted in warnings when running
federated.federatedx_versioning test
There is a server startup option --gdb a.k.a. --debug-gdb that requests
signals to be set for more convenient debugging. Most notably, SIGINT
(ctrl-c) will not be ignored, and you will be able to interrupt the
execution of the server while GDB is attached to it.
When we are debugging, the signal handlers that would normally display
a terse stack trace are useless.
When we are debugging with rr, the signal handlers may interfere with
a SIGKILL that could be sent to the process by the environment, and ruin
the rr replay trace, due to a Linux kernel bug
https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/10/31/311
To be able to diagnose bugs in kill+restart tests, we may really need
both a trace before the SIGKILL and a trace of the failure after a
subsequent server startup. So, we had better avoid hitting the problem
by simply not installing those signal handlers.
Create minidump when server fails to shutdown. If process is being
debugged, cause a debug break.
Moves some code which is part of safe_kill into mysys, as both safe_kill,
and mysqltest produce minidumps on different timeouts.
Small cleanup in wait_until_dead() - replace inefficient loop with a single
wait.
if all options from a combination from the combinations file are already
present in the server's list of options, then don't try to run tests
in other combinations from this file.
old behavior was: if at least one option from a combination is
already present in the list...
part II
need to tell SafeProcess not to collect the exited mysqld
in sleep_until_file_created(), so that it would be found in the
later wait_any_timeout() in run_testcase()
Removed a strange condition in SafeProcess::wait_one()
that treated return value of -1 from waitpid() as "process exists"
instead of as "no such child process" (see `perldoc -f waitpid`)
use _RR_TRACE_DIR=dir instead of -o dir, as the former can store
multiple traces in dir (if, e.g., the test restarts mysqld)
suppress uninitialized warning when $exe is undefined (--manual-XXX)
add a new "debugger" to mtr, that runs the executable
under valgrind in gdb. valgrind pid is auto-detected,
but the delay (sleep) and vgdb path are hard-coded for now
"debugger" is anything that wraps execution of a target
binary (mysqld or mysqltest). Currently the list includes:
gdb, ddd, dbx, lldb, valgrind, strace, ktrace, rr,
devenv, windbg, vsjitdebugger.
for every debugger xxx, mtr will recognize four options:
--xxx, --boot-xxx, --manual-xxx, --client-xxx.
They all support an optional "=string" argument. String
being a semicolon-separated list of commands (e.g. for gdb)
or one (not semicolon-separated) command line of options
(e.g. for valgrind). Or both (e.g. --gdb='-quiet -nh;info files'
In embedded both --xxx and --client-xxx work.
Functionality changed/removed:
* --rr-args is gone
* --rr-dir is gone
* --manual-debug is gone
* --debugger={devenv|vc|windbg|vc_express|vsjitdebugger} is gone
* --strace-option is gone
* --stracer={strace|ktrace} is gone
* --valgrind only enables it for the server, not for everything
* --valgrind-all is gone
* --valgrind-mysqltest is gone
* --valgrind-mysqld is gone
* --valgrind-options is gone
* --valgrind-option is gone
* --valgrind-path is gone
* --callgrind is gone
* one cannot combine --valgrind --gdb anymore
* valgrind report doesn't add a fake test line to the output
* vc and vcexpress on windows are no longer supported
A new parameter has been added called xml-report, with which the
filename of the XML file is given to which the XML result is
written. There is also xml-package for adding a package value in
the XML output. Example usage:
./mysql-test-run.pl main.events_bugs innodb.count_distinct
main.explain_json innodb.file_format_defaults json.json_no_table
--suite=main,innodb,json --force --xml-report=build123456789.xml
--xml-package=simpletestrun
The test fails because it reuses mysqltest perl code to copy directory
tree, and this code contains Windows-specific piece which outputs some
diagnostic information.
The patch introduces new parameter for that Windows-specific perl code to
have the ability to suppress diagnostic output on the corresponding
mysqltest perl module initialization.
Currently, running mtr with an incorrect (for example, new or
obsolete) version of wsrep_provider (for example, with the 26
version of libgalera_smm.so) leads to the failure of tests in
several suites with vague error diagnostics.
As for the galera_3nodes suite, the mtr also does not effectively
check all the prerequisites after merge with MDEV-18426 fixes.
For example, tests that using mariabackup do not check for presence
of ss and socat/nc. This is due to improper handling of relative
paths in mtr scripts.
In addition, some tests in different suites can be run without
setting the environment variables such as MTR_GALERA_TFMT, XBSTREAM,
and so on.
To eliminate all these issues, this patch makes the following changes:
1. Added auxiliary wsrep_mtr_check utility (which located in the
mysql-test/lib/My/SafeProcess subdirectory), which compares the
versions of the wsrep API that used by the server and by the wsrep
provider library, and it does this comparison safely, without
accessing the API if the versions do not match.
2. All checks related to the presence of mariabackup and utilities
that necessary for its operation transferred from the local directories
of different mtr suites (from the suite.pm files) to the main suite.pm
file. This not only reduces the amount of code and eliminates duplication
of identical code fragments, but also avoids problems due to the inability
of mtr to consider relative paths to include files when checking skip
combinations.
3. Setting the values of auxiliary environment variables that
are necessary for Galera, SST scripts and mariabackup (to work
properly) is moved to the main mysql-test-run.pl script, so as
not to duplicate this code in different suites, and to avoid
partial corrections of the same errors for different suites
(while other suites remain uncorrected).
4. Fixed duplication of the have_file_key_management.inc and
have_filekeymanagement.inc files between different suites,
these checks are also transferred to the top level.
5. Added garbd presence check and garbd path variable.
