Bug19770858: MYSQLD CAN BE DRIVEN TO OOM WITH TWO SIMPLE SESSION VARS
The problem was that the maximum value of the transaction_prealloc_size
session system variable was ULONG_MAX which meant that it was possible
to cause the server to allocate excessive amounts of memory.
This patch fixes the problem by reducing the maxmimum value of
transaction_prealloc_size and transaction_alloc_block_size down
to 128K.
Note that transactions will still be able to allocate more than
128K if needed, this patch just reduces the amount that can be
preallocated - as well as the maximum size of the incremental
allocation blocks.

Normally, SET SESSION SQL_LOG_BIN is used by DBAs to run a
non-conflicting command locally only, ensuring it does not
get replicated.
Setting GLOBAL SQL_LOG_BIN would not require all sessions to
disconnect. When SQL_LOG_BIN is changed globally, it does not
immediately take effect for any sessions. It takes effect by
becoming the session-level default inherited at the start of
each new session, and this setting is kept and cached for the
duration of that session. Setting it intentionally is unlikely
to have a useful effect under any circumstance; setting it
unintentionally, such as while intending to use SET [SESSION]
is potentially disastrous. Accidentally using SET GLOBAL
SQL_LOG_BIN will not show an immediate effect to the user,
instead not having the desired session-level effect, and thus
causing other potential problems with local-only maintenance
being binlogged and executed on slaves; And transactions from
new sessions (after SQL_LOG_BIN is changed globally) are not
binlogged and replicated, which would result in irrecoverable
or difficult data loss.
This is the regular GLOBAL variables way to work, but in
replication context it does not look right on a working server
(with connected sessions) 'set global sql_log_bin' and none of
that connections is affected. Unexperienced DBA after noticing
that the command did "nothing" will change the session var and
most probably won't unset the global var, causing new sessions
to not be binlog.
Setting GLOBAL SQL_LOG_BIN allows DBA to stop binlogging on all
new sessions, which can be used to make a server "replication
read-only" without restarting the server. But this has such big
requirements, stop all existing connections, that it is more
likely to make a mess, it is too risky to allow the GLOBAL variable.
The statement 'SET GLOBAL SQL_LOG_BIN=N' will produce an error
in 5.5, 5.6 and 5.7. Reading the GLOBAL SQL_LOG_BIN will produce
a deprecation warning in 5.7.
ACCEPTED BUT PARSED INCORRECTLY
When we are setting the value in a system variable,
We can set it like
set sys_var="Iden1.Iden2"; //1
set sys_var='Iden1.Iden2'; //2
set sys_var=Iden1.Iden2; //3
set sys_var=.ident1.ident2; //4
set sys_var=`Iden1.Iden2`; //5
While parsing, for case 1(when ANSI_QUOTES is enable) and 2,
we will take as string literal(we will make item of type Item_string).
for case 3 & 4, taken as Item_field, where Iden1 is a table name and
iden2 is a field name.
for case 5, again Item_field type, where iden1.iden2 is taken as
field name.
Now in case 1, when we are assigning some value to system variable
(which can take string or enumerate type data), we are setting only
field part.
This means only iden2 value will be set for system variable. This
result in wrong result.
Solution:
(for string type) We need to Document that we are not allowed to set
system variable which takes string as identifier, otherwise result
in unexpected behaviour.
(for enumerate type)
if we pass iden1.iden2, we will give an error ER_WRONG_TYPE_FOR_VAR
(Incorrect argument type to variable).
The maximum value for innodb_thread_sleep_delay is 4294967295 (32-bit) or
18446744073709551615 (64-bit) microseconds. This is way too big, since
the max value of innodb_thread_sleep_delay is limited by
innodb_adaptive_max_sleep_delay if that value is set to non-zero value
(its default is 150,000).
Solution
The maximum value of innodb_thread_sleep_delay should be the same as
the maximum value of innodb_adaptive_max_sleep_delay, which is 1000000.

When a binlog is replayed into a server, e.g.:
$ mysqlbinlog binlog.000001 | mysql
it sets a pseudo slave mode on the client connection in order to server
be able to read binlog events, there is, a format description event is
needed to correctly read following events.
Also this pseudo slave mode applies to the current connection
replication rules that are needed to correctly apply binlog events.
If a binlog dump is sourced on a connection, this pseudo slave mode will
remains after it, what will apply unexpected rules from customer
perspective to following commands.
Added a new SET statement to binlog dump that will unset pseudo slave
mode at the end of dump file.
- no need to use --skip-ndb in collections files anymore, since long but
more clear logic after recent mtr.pl fixes. ndb tests are never run in MySQL Server
unless explicitly requested
- remove sys_vars.ndb_log_update_as_write_basic.test and sys_vars.ndb_log_updated_only_basic.result since MySQL Server does not have those
options.
- Only sys_vars.have_ndbcluster_basic left since MySQL Server has that variable hardcoded.
btr_lift_page_up() writes wrong page number (different by -1) for upper than father page.
But in almost all of the cases, the father page should be root page, no upper
pages. It is very rare path.
In addition the leaf page should not be lifted unless the father page is root.
Because the branch pages should not become the leaf pages.

Problem
========
Replication breaks in the cases if the event length exceeds
the size of master Dump thread's max_allowed_packet.
The reason why this failure is occuring is because the event length is
more than the total size of the max_allowed_packet, on addition of the
max_event_header length exceeds the max_allowed_packet of the DUMP thread.
This causes the Dump thread to break replication and throw an error.
That can happen e.g with row-based replication in Update_rows event.
Fix
====
The problem is fixed in 2 steps:
1.) The Dump thread limit to read event is increased to the upper limit
i.e. Dump thread reads whatever gets logged in the binary log.
2.) On the slave side we increase the the max_allowed_packet for the
slave's threads (IO/SQL) by increasing it to 1GB.
This is done using the new server option (slave_max_allowed_packet)
included, is used to regulate the max_allowed_packet of the
slave thread (IO/SQL) by the DBA, and facilitates the sending of
large packets from the master to the slave.
This causes the large packets to be received by the slave and apply
it successfully.
Problem
========
SQL statements close to the size of max_allowed_packet produce binary
log events larger than max_allowed_packet.
The reason why this failure is occuring is because the event length is
more than the total size of the max_allowed_packet + max_event_header
length. Now since the event length exceeds this size master Dump
thread is unable to send the packet on to the slave.
That can happen e.g with row-based replication in Update_rows event.
Fix
====
The problem was fixed by increasing the max_allowed_packet for the
slave's threads (IO/SQL) by increasing it to 1GB.
This is done using the new server option included which is used to
regulate the max_allowed_packet of the slave thread (IO/SQL).
This causes the large packets to be received by the slave and apply
it successfully.
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.
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.
and cryptic error 1126 message
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.
Setting query_cache_size to larger values might fail depending on the memory
pressure being put on the system. This can be seen on pushbuild as the test
case query_cache_size_basic tries to allocate a +3GB query cache, which
succeeds in some machines and fails in others.
So this part of the code where the test case tries to allocate +3GB query cache has been
disabled for now to get the test running on pb2.
BY CACHING OR REDUCING CREATEEVENT CALLS".
5.5 versions of MySQL server performed worse than 5.1 versions
under single-connection workload in autocommit mode on Windows XP.
Part of this slowdown can be attributed to overhead associated
with constant creation/destruction of MDL_lock objects in the MDL
subsystem. The problem is that creation/destruction of these
objects causes creation and destruction of associated
synchronization primitives, which are expensive on Windows XP.
This patch tries to alleviate this problem by introducing a cache
of unused MDL_object_lock objects. Instead of destroying such
objects we put them into the cache and then reuse with a new
key when creation of a new object is requested.
To limit the size of this cache, a new --metadata-locks-cache-size
start-up parameter was introduced.
If we meet DB_TOO_MANY_CONCURRENT_TRXS during the execution tab_create_graph from row_create_table_for_mysql(), .ibd file for the table should be created already but was not deleted for the error handling.

This is a redo for 5.5
Added 'innodb_file_format_max' as variable to ignore change to.
Tests that had to restore this amended
Two tests assumed it to be Antelope, make sure these run on a freshly
started server
Undo previous fix, it is not reliable
Drop setting $MYSQL_LIBDIR, mtr can't be sure anyway
Test is set to override plugin-dir to some known existing dir
"set optimizer_switch to e or d causes invalid memory writes/valgrind warnings":
due to prefix support, the argument "e" was overwritten with its full value
"engine_condition_pushdown", which caused a buffer overrun.
This was wrong usage of find_type(); other wrong usages are fixed here too.
Please start reading with the comment of typelib.c.
