This bug affected queries containing degenerated single-value subqueries
with window functions. The bug led mostly to wrong results for such
queries.
A subquery is called degenerated if it is of the form (SELECT <expr>...).
For degenerated subqueries of the form (SELECT <expr>) the transformation
(SELECT <expr>) => <expr>
usually is applied. However if <expr> contains set functions or window
functions such rewriting is not valid for an obvious reason. The code
before this patch erroneously applied the transformation when <expr>
contained window functions and did not contain set functions.

When there is no bounds on the upper or lower part of the window,
it doesn't matter if the type is numeric.
It also doesn't matter how many ORDER BY items there are in the
query.

This bug could affect queries containing a join of derived tables over
grouping views such that one of the derived tables contains a window
function while another uses view V with dependent subquery DSQ containing
a set function aggregated outside of the subquery in the view V. The
subquery also refers to the fields from the group clause of the view.Due to
this bug execution of such queries could produce wrong result sets.
When the fix_fields() method performs context analysis of a set function AF
first, at the very beginning the function Item_sum::init_sum_func_check()
is called. The function copies the pointer to the embedding set function,
if any, stored in THD::LEX::in_sum_func into the corresponding field of the
set function AF simultaneously changing the value of THD::LEX::in_sum_func
to point to AF. When at the very end of the fix_fields() method the function
Item_sum::check_sum_func() is called it is supposed to restore the value
of THD::LEX::in_sum_func to point to the embedding set function. And in
fact Item_sum::check_sum_func() did it, but only for regular set functions,
not for those used in window functions. As a result after the context
analysis of AF had finished THD::LEX::in_sum_func still pointed to AF.
It confused the further context analysis. In particular it led to wrong
resolution of Item_outer_ref objects in the fix_inner_refs() function.
This wrong resolution forced reading the values of grouping fields referred
in DSQ not from the temporary table used for aggregation from which they
were supposed to be read, but from the table used as the source table for
aggregation.
This patch guarantees that the value of THD::LEX::in_sum_func is properly
restored after the call of fix_fields() for any set function.
Crash was caused by referencing a null pointer on getting
the number of the nesting levels of the set function for the current
select_lex at the method Item_field::fix_fields.
The current select for processing is taken from Name_resolution_context
that filled in at the function set_new_item_local_context() and
where initialization of the data member Name_resolution_context
was mistakenly removed by the commit
d6ee351bbb
(Revert "MDEV-24454 Crash at change_item_tree")
To fix the issue, correct initialization of data member
Name_resolution_context::select_lex
that was removed by the commit d6ee351bbb
is restored.
ANALYZE FORMAT=JSON output now includes table.r_engine_stats which
has the engine statistics. Only non-zero members are printed.
Internally: EXPLAIN data structures Explain_table_acccess and
Explain_update now have handler* handler_for_stats pointer.
It is used to read statistics from handler_for_stats->handler_stats.
The following applies only to 10.9+, backport doesn't use it:
Explain data structures exist after the tables are closed. We avoid
walking invalid pointers using this:
- SQL layer calls Explain_query::notify_tables_are_closed() before
closing tables.
- After that call, printing of JSON output is disabled. Non-JSON output
can be printed but we don't access handler_for_stats when doing that.
(Initial patch by Varun Gupta. Amended and added comments).
When the query has both
1. Aggregate functions that require sorting data by group, and
2. Window functions
we need to use two temporary tables. The first temp.table will hold the
join output. Then it is passed to filesort(). Reading it in sorted
order allows to compute the aggregate functions.
Then, we need to write their values into the second temp. table. Then,
Window Function computation step can pass that to filesort() and read
them in the order it needs.
Failure to create the second temp. table would cause an assertion
failure: window function could would not find where to get the values
of the aggregate functions.
(Edits by SergeiP: fix encryption.tempfiles_encrypted, re-word comment)
Global ORDER BY clause of a UNION may not refer to 1) aggregate functions
or 2) window functions. setup_order() checked for #1 but not for #2.
(Backport Varun Gupta's patch + edit the commit comment)
Name resolution code produced errors for valid queries with window
functions (but not for queries which used aggregate functions as
window functions).
Name resolution code worked incorrectly, because window function
objects had is_window_func_sum_expr()=false. This was so, because
mark_as_window_func_sum_expr() was only called for aggregate functions
used as window functions.
The fix is to call it for any window function.
* Make Item_in_optimizer::fix_fields inherit the with_window_func
attribute of the subquery's left expression (the subquery itself
cannot have window functions that are aggregated in this select)
* Make Item_cache_wrapper::Item_cache_wrapper() inherit
with_window_func attribute of the item it is caching.
row_number() over () window function can be used without any column in the OVER
clause. Additionally, the item doesn't reference any tables, as it's not
effectively referencing any table. Rather it is specifically built based
on the end temporary table used for window function computation.
This caused remove_const function to wrongly drop it from the ORDER
list. Effectively, we shouldn't be dropping any window function from the
ORDER clause, so adjust remove_const to account for that.

There are 2 issues here:
Issue #1: memory allocation.
An IO_CACHE that uses encryption uses a larger buffer (it needs space for the encrypted data,
decrypted data, IO_CACHE_CRYPT struct to describe encryption parameters etc).
Issue #2: IO_CACHE::seek_not_done
When IO_CACHE objects are cloned, they still share the file descriptor.
This means, operation on one IO_CACHE may change the file read position
which will confuse other IO_CACHEs using it.
The fix of these issues would be:
Allocate the buffer to also include the extra size needed for encryption.
Perform seek again after one IO_CACHE reads the file.
The issue here is that end_of_file for encrypted temporary IO_CACHE (used by filesort) is updated
using lseek.
Encryption adds storage overhead and hides it from the caller by recalculating offsets and lengths.
Two different IO_CACHE cannot possibly modify the same file
because the encryption key is randomly generated and stored in the IO_CACHE.
So when the tempfiles are encrypted DO NOT use lseek to change end_of_file.
Further observations about updating end_of_file using lseek
1) The end_of_file update is only used for binlog index files
2) The whole point is to update file length when the file was modified via a different file descriptor.
3) The temporary IO_CACHE files can never be modified via a different file descriptor.
4) For encrypted temporary IO_CACHE, end_of_file should not be updated with lseek
