The problem was that the scheduler function used to handle a
new user connection could use the ER() macro without having a
THD object bound to the current thread. The crash would happen
whenever the function failed to create a new thread to handle a
user connection. Thread creation can fail due to lack or limit
of available resources.
The solution is to simply use the ER_THD() macro instead and pass
to it the THD object which would be bound to the connection.
Fix was tested manually. In a test case, it is too cumbersome to
inject a error in this context.
sql/mysqld.cc:
Use ER_THD and pass the object.
Quoting from the bug report:
The pstack library has been included in MySQL since version
4.0.0. It's useless and should be removed.
Details: According to its own documentation, pstack only works
on Linux on x86 in 32 bit mode and requires LinuxThreads and a
statically linked binary. It doesn't really support any Linux
from 2003 or later and doesn't work on any other OS.
The --enable-pstack option is thus deprecated and has no effect.
After the WL#2687, the binlog_cache_size and max_binlog_cache_size affect both the
stmt-cache and the trx-cache. This means that the resource used is twice the amount
expected/defined by the user.
The binlog_cache_use is incremented when the stmt-cache or the trx-cache is used
and binlog_cache_disk_use is incremented when the disk space from the stmt-cache or the
trx-cache is used. This behavior does not allow to distinguish which cache may be harming
performance due to the extra disk accesses and needs to have its in-memory cache
increased.
To fix the problem, we introduced two new options and status variables related to the
stmt-cache:
Options:
. binlog_stmt_cache_size
. max_binlog_stmt_cache_size
Status Variables:
. binlog_stmt_cache_use
. binlog_stmt_cache_disk_use
So there are
. binlog_cache_size that defines the size of the transactional cache for
updates to transactional engines for the binary log.
. binlog_stmt_cache_size that defines the size of the statement cache for
updates to non-transactional engines for the binary log.
. max_binlog_cache_size that sets the total size of the transactional
cache.
. max_binlog_stmt_cache_size that sets the total size of the statement
cache.
. binlog_cache_use that identifies the number of transactions that used the
temporary transactional binary log cache.
. binlog_cache_disk_use that identifies the number of transactions that used
the temporary transactional binary log cache but that exceeded the value of
binlog_cache_size.
. binlog_stmt_cache_use that identifies the number of statements that used the
temporary non-transactional binary log cache.
. binlog_stmt_cache_disk_use that identifies the number of statements that used
the temporary non-transactional binary log cache but that exceeded the value of
binlog_stmt_cache_size.

Quoting from the bug report:
The pstack library has been included in MySQL since version

Details: According to its own documentation, pstack only works

Before this fix, the server could crash during shutdown,
due to race conditions, that occured when killing the server.
In particular, the performance schema instrumentation handle,
PSI_server, and the performance schema itself would be cleaned up
too soon, causing race conditions with a running kill server thread.
The specifics of the race condition found are that:
the main thread executing "PSI_server= NULL" can cause crashes in
other threads still running, which are executing
"if (PSI_server != NULL) PSI_server->xxx()"
as part of the performance schema instrumentation.
While the bug was reported for the kill server thread,
in theory the same crash could happen with the signal thread,
as found by code analysis.
The correct fix would be to only shutdown the performance schema
and set PSI_server to NULL after every other thread is guaranteed
to be completed, including the kill_server_thread.
However, due to the existing mysqld server design, this is not the case.
See in particular bug number 56666.
The work around used to fix this race condition is to simply not
perform the call to shutdown_performance_schema() when the server exits,
and to keep the PSI_server pointer unchanged.
This will cause memory leaks to be reported by tools like valgrind,
but no memory leak actually happen because the process is about to exit().
As a result, the file mysql-test/valgrind.supp has been updated
to filter out these false positive messages.
This code has been tested with running in a loop the following
tests in parallel, which have been known to fail with race conditions
in the past:
- rpl_change_master
- binlog_max_extension
- events_restart
- rpl_heartbeat_basic
and no crash of test failure has been seen with the changed code.
thread-specific variables weren't set when we load error message files.

temp table
This patch introduces two key changes in the replication's behavior.
Firstly, it reverts part of BUG#51894 which puts any update to temporary tables
into the trx-cache. Now, updates to temporary tables are handled according to
the type of their engines as a regular table.
Secondly, an unsafe mixed statement, (i.e. a statement that access transactional
table as well non-transactional or temporary table, and writes to any of them),
are written into the trx-cache in order to minimize errors in the execution when
the statement logging format is in use.
Such changes has a direct impact on which statements are classified as unsafe
statements and thus part of BUG#53259 is reverted.
TABLES <list> WITH READ LOCK are incompatible".
The problem was that FLUSH TABLES <list> WITH READ LOCK
which was issued when other connection has acquired global
read lock using FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK was blocked
and has to wait until global read lock is released.
This issue stemmed from the fact that FLUSH TABLES <list>
WITH READ LOCK implementation has acquired X metadata locks
on tables to be flushed. Since these locks required acquiring
of global IX lock this statement was incompatible with global
read lock.
This patch addresses problem by using SNW metadata type of
lock for tables to be flushed by FLUSH TABLES <list> WITH
READ LOCK. It is OK to acquire them without global IX lock
as long as we won't try to upgrade those locks. Since SNW
locks allow concurrent statements using same table FLUSH
TABLE <list> WITH READ LOCK now has to wait until old
versions of tables to be flushed go away after acquiring
metadata locks. Since such waiting can lead to deadlock
MDL deadlock detector was extended to take into account
waits for flush and resolve such deadlocks.
As a bonus code in open_tables() which was responsible for
waiting old versions of tables to go away was refactored.
Now when we encounter old version of table in open_table()
we don't back-off and wait for all old version to go away,
but instead wait for this particular table to be flushed.
Such approach supported by deadlock detection should reduce
number of scenarios in which FLUSH TABLES aborts concurrent
multi-statement transactions.
Note that active FLUSH TABLES <list> WITH READ LOCK still
blocks concurrent FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK statement
as the former keeps tables open and thus prevents the
latter statement from doing flush.
mysql-test/include/handler.inc:
Adjusted test case after changing status which is set
when FLUSH TABLES waits for tables to be flushed from
"Flushing tables" to "Waiting for table".
mysql-test/r/flush.result:
Added test which checks that "flush tables <list> with

bug #52044 "FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK and FLUSH TABLES

sql/lock.cc:
Removed COND_refresh condition variable. See comment
for sql_base.cc for details.
sql/mdl.cc:
Now MDL deadlock detector takes into account information
about waits for table flushes when searching for deadlock.
To implement this change:
- Declaration of enum_deadlock_weight and
Deadlock_detection_visitor were moved to mdl.h header
to make them available to the code in table.cc which
implements deadlock detector traversal through edges
of waiters graph representing waiting for flush.
- Since now MDL_context may wait not only for metadata
lock but also for table to be flushed an abstract
Wait_for_edge class was introduced. Its descendants
MDL_ticket and Flush_ticket incapsulate specifics
of inspecting waiters graph when following through
edge representing wait of particular type.
We no longer require global IX metadata lock when acquiring
SNW or SNRW locks. Such locks are needed only when metadata
locks of these types are upgraded to X locks. This allows
to use SNW locks in FLUSH TABLES <list> WITH READ LOCK
implementation and keep the latter compatible with global
read lock.
sql/mdl.h:
Now MDL deadlock detector takes into account information
about waits for table flushes when searching for deadlock.
To implement this change:
- Declaration of enum_deadlock_weight and
Deadlock_detection_visitor were moved to mdl.h header

lock but also for table to be flushed an abstract
Wait_for_edge class was introduced. Its descendants
MDL_ticket and Flush_ticket incapsulate specifics
of inspecting waiters graph when following through
edge representing wait of particular type.
- Deadlock_detection_visitor now has m_table_shares_visited
member which allows to support recursive locking for
LOCK_open. This is required when deadlock detector
inspects waiters graph which contains several edges
representing waits for flushes or needs to come through
the such edge more than once.
sql/mysqld.cc:
Removed COND_refresh condition variable. See comment
for sql_base.cc for details.
sql/mysqld.h:
Removed COND_refresh condition variable. See comment
for sql_base.cc for details.
sql/sql_base.cc:
Changed approach to how threads are waiting for table
to be flushed. Now thread that wants to wait for old
table to go away subscribes for notification by adding
Flush_ticket to table's share and waits using
MDL_context::m_wait object. Once table gets flushed
(i.e. all tables are closed and table share is ready
to be destroyed) all such waiters are notified
individually.
Thanks to this change MDL deadlock detector can take
such waits into account.
To implement this/as result of this change:
- tdc_wait_for_old_versions() was replaced with
tdc_wait_for_old_version() which waits for individual
old share to go away and which is called by open_table()
after finding out that share is outdated. We don't
need to perform back-off before such waiting thanks
to the fact that deadlock detector now sees such waits.
- As result Open_table_ctx::m_mdl_requests became
unnecessary and was removed. We no longer allocate
copies of MDL_request objects on MEM_ROOT when
MYSQL_OPEN_FORCE_SHARED/SHARED_HIGH_PRIO flags are
in effect.
- close_cached_tables() and tdc_wait_for_old_version()
share code which implements waiting for share to be
flushed - the both use TABLE_SHARE::wait_until_flush()
method. Thanks to this close_cached_tables() supports
timeouts and has extra parameter for this.
- Open_table_context::OT_MDL_CONFLICT enum element was
renamed to OT_CONFLICT as it is now also used in cases
when back-off is required to resolve deadlock caused
by waiting for flush and not metadata lock.
- In cases when we discover that current connection tries
to open tables from different generation we now simply
back-off and restart process of opening tables. To
support this Open_table_context::OT_REOPEN_TABLES enum
element was added.
- COND_refresh condition variable became unnecessary and
was removed.
- mysql_notify_thread_having_shared_lock() no longer wakes
up connections waiting for flush as all such connections
can be waken up by deadlock detector if necessary.
sql/sql_base.h:
- close_cached_tables() now has one more parameter -
timeout for waiting for table to be flushed.
- Open_table_context::OT_MDL_CONFLICT enum element was
renamed to OT_CONFLICT as it is now also used in cases
when back-off is required to resolve deadlock caused
by waiting for flush and not metadata lock.
Added new OT_REOPEN_TABLES enum element to be used in
cases when we need to restart open tables process even
in the middle of transaction.
- Open_table_ctx::m_mdl_requests became unnecessary and
was removed.
sql/sql_class.h:
Added assert ensuring that we won't use LOCK_open mutex
with THD::enter_cond(). Otherwise deadlocks can arise in
MDL deadlock detector.
sql/sql_parse.cc:
Changed FLUSH TABLES <list> WITH READ LOCK to take SNW
metadata locks instead of X locks on tables to be flushed.
Since we no longer require global IX lock to be taken
when SNW locks are taken this makes this statement
compatible with FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK statement.
Since SNW locks allow other connections to have table
opened FLUSH TABLES <list> WITH READ LOCK now has to
wait during open_tables() for old version to go away.
Such waits can lead to deadlocks which will be detected
by MDL deadlock detector which now takes waits for table
to be flushed into account.
Also adjusted code after adding one more parameter for
close_cached_tables() call - timeout for waiting for
table to be flushed.
sql/sql_yacc.yy:
FLUSH TABLES <list> WITH READ LOCK now needs only SNW
metadata locks on tables.
sql/sys_vars.cc:
Adjusted code after adding one more parameter for
close_cached_tables() call - timeout for waiting for
table to be flushed.
sql/table.cc:
Implemented new approach to how threads are waiting for
table to be flushed. Now thread that wants to wait for
old table to go away subscribes for notification by
adding Flush_ticket to table's share and waits using
MDL_context::m_wait object. Once table gets flushed
(i.e. all tables are closed and table share is ready
to be destroyed) all such waiters are notified
individually. This change allows to make such waits
visible inside of MDL deadlock detector.
To do it:
- Added list of waiters/Flush_tickets to TABLE_SHARE
class.
- Changed free_table_share() to postpone freeing of
share memory until last waiter goes away and to
wake up subscribed waiters.
- Added TABLE_SHARE::wait_until_flushed() method which
implements subscription to the list of waiters for
table to be flushed and waiting for this event.
Implemented interface which allows to expose waits for
flushes to MDL deadlock detector:
- Introduced Flush_ticket class a descendant of
Wait_for_edge class.
- Added TABLE_SHARE::find_deadlock() method which allows
deadlock detector to find out what contexts are still
using old version of table in question (i.e. to find
out what contexts are waited for by owner of
Flush_ticket).
sql/table.h:
In order to support new strategy of waiting for table flush

compiler problem
GCC-style inline assembly is not supported by the Sun Studio
compilers prior to version 12.
Added a check for the Sun Studio version to avoid using
_FPU_GETCW() / _FPU_SETCW() when inline assembly is
unsupported. This can lead to some differences in floating
point calculations on Solaris 8/x86 which, however, is not worth
bothering with Sun-style assembly .il templates.
Essentially, the problem is that safemalloc is excruciatingly
slow as it checks all allocated blocks for overrun at each
memory management primitive, yielding a almost exponential
slowdown for the memory management functions (malloc, realloc,
free). The overrun check basically consists of verifying some
bytes of a block for certain magic keys, which catches some
simple forms of overrun. Another minor problem is violation
of aliasing rules and that its own internal list of blocks
is prone to corruption.
Another issue with safemalloc is rather the maintenance cost
as the tool has a significant impact on the server code.
Given the magnitude of memory debuggers available nowadays,
especially those that are provided with the platform malloc
implementation, maintenance of a in-house and largely obsolete
memory debugger becomes a burden that is not worth the effort
due to its slowness and lack of support for detecting more
common forms of heap corruption.
Since there are third-party tools that can provide the same
functionality at a lower or comparable performance cost, the
solution is to simply remove safemalloc. Third-party tools
can provide the same functionality at a lower or comparable
performance cost.
The removal of safemalloc also allows a simplification of the
malloc wrappers, removing quite a bit of kludge: redefinition
of my_malloc, my_free and the removal of the unused second
argument of my_free. Since free() always check whether the
supplied pointer is null, redudant checks are also removed.
Also, this patch adds unit testing for my_malloc and moves
my_realloc implementation into the same file as the other
memory allocation primitives.
client/mysqldump.c:
Pass my_free directly as its signature is compatible with the
callback type -- which wasn't the case for free_table_ent.
