Details of BUG#11746142: CALLING MYSQLD WHILE ANOTHER
INSTANCE IS RUNNING, REMOVES PID FILE
Fix: Before removing the pid file, ensure it was created
by the same process, leave it intact otherwise.
Some shell interpreters do not support '-e' test
primary to construct conditions.
man test 1 (on S10)
...skip...
-e file True if file exists. (Not available in sh.)
...skip...
Hence, check for the existence of a file using
'-e' might result in a syntax error on such
shell programs.
Fixed by replacing it by '-f'.
DOS ATTACKS
Problem:
For detailed description, see Bug#42502. This bug is a duplicate
of Bug#42502. The complete fix for Bug#42502 was not made as
proposed. Hence the bug still persists.
Fix:
Make the changes as proposed originally for the bugfix of 42502.
Which is to remove the allocation of the memory before we actually
check for any errors.
TO SIGNED
Problem:
When we are joining types (of fields) in case of a union, we usually
upgrade the datatypes to the largest present in the query.
In case of mediumint, it is not happening.
Analysis:
When joined with types LONG and LONGLONG, mediumint should get
upgraded to LONG and LONGLONG respectively.
W.r.t the given query, constant '1' will be created as a LONGLONG
internally and SIGNED flag is enabled. As a result, while combining
types for the field, LONGLONG along with MEDIUMINT gets converted
to LONG first. LONG with MEDIUMINT(of the third select) gets converted
to MEDIUMINT. SIGNED FLAG would be that of the first field's.
As a result, the final result would be SIGNED MEDIUMINT.
Fix:
While joining types, MEDIUMINT with LONGLONG and MEDIUMINT with LONG
is converted to LONGLONG and LONG respectively. Also, made some
changes for FLOAT and DOUBLE.
The problem is a shift operation that is not 64-bit safe.
The consequence is that used tables information for a join with 32 tables
or more will be incorrect.
Fixed by adding a type cast in Item_sum::update_used_tables().
Also used the opportunity to fix some other potential bugs by adding an
explicit type-cast to an integer in a left-shift operation.
Some of them were quite harmless, but was fixed in order to get the same
signed-ness as the other operand of the operation it was used in.
sql/item_cmpfunc.cc
Adjusted signed-ness for some integers in left-shift.
sql/item_subselect.cc
Added type-cast to nesting_map (which is a 32/64 bit type, so
potential bug for deeply nested queries).
sql/item_sum.cc
Added type-cast to nesting_map (32/64-bit type) and table_map
(64-bit type).
sql/opt_range.cc
Added type-cast to ulonglong (which is a 64-bit type).
sql/sql_base.cc
Added type-cast to nesting_map (which is a 32/64-bit type).
sql/sql_select.cc
Added type-cast to nesting_map (32/64-bit type) and key_part_map
(64-bit type).
sql/strfunc.cc
Changed type-cast from longlong to ulonglong, to preserve signed-ness.
Analysis:
When thread cache is enabled, it does not properly initialize
thd->start_utime when a thread is picked from the thread cache.
This breaks the quota management mechanism.
THD::time_out_user_resource_limits() resets
m_user_connect->conn_per_hour to 0 based on thd->start_utime
Fix:
Initialize start_utime when cached thread is reused.
Notes:
Enabled back tests which were disabled because of this issue.
ON "DROP TABLE"

HANG
Problem Statement:
When the operation RENAME TABLE is about rename the tablespace of the
table, it will stop all i/o operations on the tablespace temporarily.
For this the fil_space_t::stop_ios member is used.
Once the fil_space_t::stop_ios member is set to TRUE in the RENAME
TABLE operation, it is expected that no new i/o operation will be done
on the tablespace and all pending i/o operation can be completed on
the tablespace.
If the pending i/o operations initiate any new i/o operations then
there will be deadlock. The RENAME TABLE operation will be waiting
for pending i/o on the tablespace to be completed, and the pending i/o
operations will be waiting on the RENAME TABLE operation to set the
file_space_t::stop_ios flag to be set to FALSE.
But in the given scenario the pending i/o operations did not initiate
new i/o. But they where still unnecessarily checking the
fil_space_t::stop_ios flag. This resulted in deadlock.
Solution:
I noticed that this deadlock happens in fil_space_get_size() and
fil_space_get_zip_size() in the i/o threads. These functions check
the stop_ios flag even when no i/o will be initiated. I modified
these functions to ensure that they check the stop_ios flag only when
they will be initiating an i/o operation. This solves the problem.

IN QUERY CACHE CODE
DESCRIPTION:
MySQL Server crashes sporadically when Query Caching is on and
the server has high contention among clients.
ANALYSIS :
Scenario 1:
In Query_cache::move_by_type() when handling RESULT or its related blocks,
Write Lock is acquired on its parent Query block. However the next and prev
pointers are cached in local variables before lock acquisition. In an extremely
high contention scenario there exists a possibility that
Query_cache::append_result_data() is operating on the same query block
and as a consequence might append a new Result block to the end of Result
blocks Linked List of the Query. This would manipulate the next, prev pointers
of the Block being processed in move_by_type(), however the local pointers
still point to previous nodes there by causing Data Corruption leading to crash.
Scenario 2:
In Windows SDK "BOOL" is typedefed as "int" and BOOLEAN is typedefed as
"usigned char". The function pointer definition "srw_bool_func" mistakenly uses
BOOL instead of BOOLEAN thereby virtually making the function
my_TryAcquireSRWLockExclusive() always succeed because only the LSB of EAX
has the actual result of the call, however due to type mismatch all bytes of EAX
are used for evaluation. Again during high contention scenarios in
Query_cache::free_old_query() calls try_lock_writing() on a Query, this call
always succeeds and the query is freed, even though it is used by some other
thread, in this case Query_cache::send_result_to_client() was using it and the
code causes a crash because it accessed free or reallocated memory.
FIX :
Scenario 1:
The next, prev pointers are now accessed only after Lock acquisition in
Query_cache::move_by_type().
Scenario 2:
In the definition of "srw_bool_func" BOOL has been replaced with "BOOLEAN"

SAME VERSION NUMBER 1.0.17
Now that InnoDB/InnoDB Plugin is no longer separately developed and
distributed from the MySQL server it does not need its own version number.
Thus use the MySQL version instead.
"Removing" the version altogether is not feasible because the config
variable 'innodb_version' cannot be removed in GA branches.

BUF_PAGE_GET_GEN REDUNDANT?
rb://1711
approved by: Marko Makela
When decompressing a compressed page that had already been accessed
in the buffer pool, do not attempt to merge buffered changes.
File names with colon are being disallowed because of the Alternate Data
Stream (ADS) feature of NTFS that could be misused. ADS allows data to be
written to alternate streams of a normal file. The data in alternate
streams cannot be seen by normal tools on Windows (explorer, cmd.exe). As
a result someone can use this feature to hide large amount of data in
alternate streams and admins will have no easy way of figuring out the
files that are using that disk space. The fix also disallows ADS in the
scenarios where file name is passed as some dynamic variable.
An important thing about the fix is that it DOES NOT disallow ADS file
names if they are not dynamic (i.e. if the file is created by using some
option that needs local access to the MySQL server, for example error log
file). The reasoning is that if some MySQL option related to files
requires access to the local machine (it is not dynamic), then user can very
well create data in ADS by some other means. This fixes only those scenarios
which can allow users to create data in ADS over the wire.
File names with colon are being disallowed only on Windows. UNIX
(Linux in particular) supports NTFS, but it will not be a common
scenario for someone to configure a NTFS file system to store MySQL
data on Linux.
Changes in file bug11761752-master.opt are needed due to
bug number 15937938.

DOPROCESSREPLY()
Description: Function DoProcessReply() calls function
decrypt_message() in a while loop without
performing a check on available buffer
space. This can cause buffer overflow and
crash the server. This patch is fix provided
by Sawtooth to resolve the issue.
ROBUST AGAINST BUGS IN CALLERS".
Both MDL subsystems and Table Definition Cache code assume
that callers ensure that names of objects passed to them are
not longer than NAME_LEN bytes. Unfortunately due to bugs in
callers this assumption might be broken in some cases. As
result we get nasty bugs causing buffer overruns when we
construct MDL key or TDC key from object names.
This patch makes TDC code more robust against such bugs by
ensuring that we always checking size of result buffer when
constructing TDC keys. This doesn't free its callers from
ensuring that both db and table names are shorter than
NAME_LEN bytes. But at least this steps prevents buffer
overruns in case of bug in caller, replacing them with less
harmful behavior.
This is 5.1-only version of patch.
This patch introduces new version of create_table_def_key()
helper function which constructs TDC key without risk of
result buffer overrun. Places in code that construct TDC keys
were changed to use this function.
Also changed rm_temporary_table() and open_new_frm() functions
to avoid use of "unsafe" strmov() and strxmov() functions and
use safer strnxmov() instead.
Problem:
Before the ALTER TABLE statement, the array
dict_index_t::stat_n_diff_key_vals had proper values calculated
and updated. But after the ALTER TABLE statement, all the values
of this array is 0.
Because of this statistics returned by innodb_rec_per_key() is
different before and after the ALTER TABLE statement. Running the
ANALYZE TABLE command populates the statistics correctly.
Solution:
After ALTER TABLE statement, set the flag dict_table_t::stat_initialized
correctly so that the table statistics will be recalculated properly when
the table is next loaded. But note that we still don't choose the loose
index scans. This fix only ensures that an ALTER TABLE does not change
the optimizer plan.
