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.

bug #51263 "Deadlock between transactional SELECT and ALTER
TABLE ... REBUILD PARTITION" and has been causing compilation
error when server was built with NDB support.
transactional SELECT and ALTER TABLE ... REBUILD PARTITION".
The goal of this patch is to decouple type of metadata
lock acquired for table by open_tables() from type of
table-level lock to be acquired on it.
To achieve this we change approach to how we determine what
type of metadata lock should be acquired on table to be open.
Now instead of inferring it at open_tables() time from flags
and type of table-level lock we rely on that type of metadata
lock is properly set at parsing time and is not changed
further.
This patch:
- Moves all definitions from the mysql_priv.h file into
header files for the component where the variable is
defined
- Creates header files if the component lacks one
- Eliminates all include directives from mysql_priv.h
- Eliminates all circular include cycles
- Rename time.cc to sql_time.cc
- Rename mysql_priv.h to sql_priv.h
into partitioned MyISAM table
Problem was that the ha_data structure was introduced in 5.1
and only used for partitioning first, but with the intention
of be of use for others engines as well, and when used by other
engines it would clash if it also was partitioned.
Solution is to move the partitioning specific data to a separate
structure, with its own mutex (which is used for auto_increment).
Also did rename PARTITION_INFO to PARTITION_STATS since there
already exist a class named partition_info, also cleaned up
some related variables.
This patch prevents system threads and system table accesses from
using user-specified values for "lock_wait_timeout". Instead all
such accesses are done using the default value (1 year).
This prevents background tasks (such as replication, events,
accessing stored function definitions, logging, reading time-zone
information, etc.) from failing in cases where the global value
of "lock_wait_timeout" is set very low.
The patch also simplifies the open tables API. Rather than adding
another convenience function for opening and locking system tables,
this patch removes most of the existing convenience functions for
open_and_lock_tables_derived(). Before, open_and_lock_tables() was
a convenience function that enforced derived tables handling, while
open_and_lock_tables_derived() was the main function where derived
tables handling was optional. Now, this convencience function is
gone and the main function is renamed to open_and_lock_tables().
No test case added as it would have required the use of --sleep to
check that system threads and system tables have a different timeout
value from the user-specified "lock_wait_timeout" system variable.
condition variable per context instead of one mutex and one conditional
variable for the whole subsystem.
This should increase concurrency in this subsystem.
It also opens the way for further changes which are necessary to solve
such bugs as bug #46272 "MySQL 5.4.4, new MDL: unnecessary deadlock"
and bug #37346 "innodb does not detect deadlock between update and alter
table".
Two other notable changes done by this patch:
- MDL subsystem no longer implicitly acquires global intention exclusive
metadata lock when per-object metadata lock is acquired. Now this has
to be done by explicit calls outside of MDL subsystem.
- Instead of using separate MDL_context for opening system tables/tables
for purposes of I_S we now create MDL savepoint in the main context
before opening tables and rollback to this savepoint after closing
them. This means that it is now possible to get ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK error
even not inside a transaction. This might happen in unlikely case when
one runs DDL on one of system tables while also running DDL on some
other tables. Cases when this ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK error is not justified
will be addressed by advanced deadlock detector for MDL subsystem which
we plan to implement.

WL#3726 "DDL locking for all metadata objects".
After review fixes in progress.
------------------------------------------------------------
This is the first patch in series. It transforms the metadata
locking subsystem to use a dedicated module (mdl.h,cc). No
significant changes in the locking protocol.
The import passes the test suite with the exception of
deprecated/removed 6.0 features, and MERGE tables. The latter
are subject to a fix by WL#4144.
Unfortunately, the original changeset comments got lost in a merge,
thus this import has its own (largely insufficient) comments.
This patch fixes Bug#25144 "replication / binlog with view breaks".
Warning: this patch introduces an incompatible change:
Under LOCK TABLES, it's no longer possible to FLUSH a table that
was not locked for WRITE.
Under LOCK TABLES, it's no longer possible to DROP a table or
VIEW that was not locked for WRITE.

message:
WL#3726 "DDL locking for all metadata objects".
Fix for assert failures in kill.test which occured when one
tried to kill ALTER TABLE statement on merge table while it
was waiting in wait_while_table_is_used() for other connections
to close this table.
These assert failures stemmed from the fact that cleanup code
in this case assumed that temporary table representing new
version of table was open with adding to THD::temporary_tables
list while code which were opening this temporary table wasn't
always fulfilling this.
This patch changes code that opens new version of table to
always do this linking in. It also streamlines cleanup process
for cases when error occurs while we have new version of table
open.

Bug#32082 : definition of VOID in my_global.h conflicts with Windows
SDK headers
VOID macro is now removed. Its usage is replaced with void cast.
In some cases, where cast does not make much sense (pthread_*, printf,
hash_delete, my_seek), cast is ommited.

Bug#32115, remove now obsolete lex_start calls
Implemented the server infrastructure for the fix:
1. Added a function LEX_STRING *thd_query_string(THD) to return
a LEX_STRING structure instead of char *.
This is the function that must be called in innodb instead of
thd_query()
2. Did some encapsulation in THD : aggregated thd_query and
thd_query_length into a LEX_STRING and made accessor and mutator
methods for easy code updating.
3. Updated the server code to use the new methods where applicable.
when compiled with Sun Studio compiler).
The thing is that Sun Studio compiler calls destructor of stack
objects when pthread_exit() is called. That triggered an assertion
in DBUG_ENTER()/DBUG_RETURN() validation logic (if DBUG_ENTER() is
used in the beginning of function, all returns should be replaced
by DBUG_RETURN/DBUG_VOID_RETURN macros).
A fix is to explicitly use DBUG_LEAVE macro.
