"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.

privileges".
The first problem was that DROP USER didn't properly remove privileges
on stored functions from in-memory structures. So the dropped user
could have called stored functions on which he had privileges before
being dropped while his connection was still around.
Even worse if a new user with the same name was created he would
inherit privileges on stored functions from the dropped user.
Similar thing happened with old user name and function privileges
during RENAME USER.
This problem stemmed from the fact that the handle_grant_data() function
which handled DROP/RENAME USER didn't take any measures to update
in-memory hash with information about function privileges after
updating them on disk.
This patch solves this problem by adding code doing just that.
The second problem was that RENAME USER didn't properly update in-memory
structures describing table-level privileges and privileges on stored
procedures. As result such privileges could have been lost after a rename
(i.e. not associated with the new name of user) and inherited by a new
user with the same name as the old name of the original user.
This problem was caused by code handling RENAME USER in
handle_grant_struct() which [sic!]:
a) tried to update wrong (tables) hash when updating stored procedure
privileges for new user name.
b) passed wrong arguments to function performing the hash update and
didn't take into account the way in which such update could have
changed the order of the hash elements.
This patch solves this problem by ensuring that a) the correct hash
is updated, b) correct arguments are used for the hash_update()
function and c) we take into account possible changes in the order
of hash elements.
There is one part of the test case that needs to break
and re-establish the circular topology. For this the test
stops the slave threads on a couple of servers and restarts
them with START SLAVE. However, no check is done on the
status of the IO or SQL threads before proceeding with
the subsequent commands.
Because rpl_only_running_threads is set to 1 this can lead
to silently not syncing all slave threads as expected,
ultimately resulting in unexpected results (and consequently
on a failing test run).
We fix this by replacing the START SLAVE instructions with
calls to --source include/start_slave.inc, which will wait
for the slave threads to be running (show 'Yes' in
Slave_IO|SQL_Running fields of SHOW SLAVE STATUS) before
proceeding. Additionally, we change rpl_sync.inc to make the
IO thread report that it is running when its running status
is any other than 'No'.
primary_key_no == 0".
Attempt to create InnoDB table with non-nullable column of
geometry type having an unique key with length 12 on it and
with some other candidate key led to server crash due to
assertion failure in both non-debug and debug builds.
The problem was that such a non-candidate key could have
been sorted as the first key in table/.FRM, before any legit
candidate keys. This resulted in assertion failure in InnoDB
engine which assumes that primary key should either be the
first key in table/.FRM or should not exist at all.
The reason behind such an incorrect sorting was an wrong
value of Create_field::key_length member for geometry field
(which was set to its pack_length == 12) which confused code
in mysql_prepare_create_table(), so it would skip marking
such key as a key with partial segments.
This patch fixes the problem by ensuring that this member
gets the same value of Create_field::key_length member as
for other blob fields (from which geometry field class is
inherited), and as result unique keys on geometry fields
are correctly marked as having partial segments.
In SBR, if a statement does not fail, it is always written to the binary
log, regardless if rows are changed or not. If there is a failure, a
statement is only written to the binary log if a non-transactional (.e.g.
MyIsam) engine is updated.
INSERT ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE and INSERT IGNORE were not following the
rule above and were not written to the binary log, if then engine was
Innodb.
There are two calls to read_log_event() on master in mysql_binlog_send().
Each call reads 19 bytes in this test case and the error of the second
read_log_event() is reported to the slave.
The second read_log_event() starts from position 94 (75 + 19) to 113
(75 + 19 + 19). Usually, there are two events in the binary log:
. 0 - 3 - Header
. 4 - 105 - Format Descriptor Event
. 106 - 304 - Query Event
and both reads fail because operations are reading from invalid positions
as expected.
However, mysql_binlog_send() does not use the same IO_CACHE that is used to
write into binary log (i.e. mysql_bin_log.log_file) for the hot binary log.
It opens the binary log file directly by calling open_binlog() and creates a
separated IO_CACHE. So there is a possibly that after a master has flushed
the binary log file, the content has been cached by the filesystem, and has
not updated the disk file. If this happens, then a slave will only see part
of the file, and thus the second read_log_event() will report event truncated
error.
To fix the problem, if the first read_log_event() has failed, we ensure that
the second one will try to read from the same position.
The test were using external tools not available for embedded.
Fixed by rewriting the test to not rely on external tools like the mysql-client
Also fixed some non portable --exec commands and replaced #p# to #P# to pass
on windows.
rpl_packet got a timeout failure sporadically on PB when stopping
slave. The real reason of this bug is that STOP SLAVE stopped
IO thread first and then stopped SQL thread. It was
possible that IO thread stopped after replicating part of a
transaction which SQL thread was executing. SQL thread would
be hung if the transaction could not be rolled back safely.
After this patch, STOP SLAVE will stop SQL thread first and then stop IO
thread, which guarantees that IO thread will fetch the reset of the
events of the transaction that SQL thread is executing, so that SQL
thread can finish the transaction if it cannot be rolled back safely.
Added below auxiliary files to make the test code neater.

The problem from a user point of view was that on Solaris the
time related functions (e.g. NOW(), SYSDATE(), etc) would always
return a fixed time.
This bug was happening due to a logic in the time retrieving
wrapper function which would only call the time() function every
half second. This interval between calls would be calculated
using the gethrtime() and the logic relied on the fact that time
returned by it is monotonic.
Unfortunately, due to bugs in the gethrtime() implementation,
there are some cases where the time returned by it can drift
(See Solaris bug id 6600939), potentially causing the interval
calculation logic to fail.
Since newer versions of Solaris (10+) have alleviated the
performance degradation associated with time(2), the solution is
to simply directly rely on time() at each invocation.
This simplification has an upside that it allows us to eliminate
a lock which was used to control access to the variables used
to track the half second interval, thus improving the overall
scalability of timekeeping related functions (e.g. NOW()).
Benchmarks runs have shown no significant degradation associated
with this change. With this, there are actually improvements in
performance for cases involving many connections.
In summary, the changes introduced by this patch are:
a) my_time() and my_micro_time_and_time() no longer use gethrtime().
Instead, time() and gettimeofdate() are used correspondingly.
b) my_micro_time() is changed to not use gethrtime() so as to
have the same time source as my_micro_time_and_time().
There shouldn't be any performance impact from this change
since this function is used only a few times during statement
execution and, on Solaris, gettimeofday() shows acceptable
performance.
