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.
sql/mysqld.cc:
Added global variable stored_program_cache_size to store value of
configuration parameter 'stored-program-cache'.
sql/mysqld.h:
Added declaration of global variable stored_program_cache_size.
sql/sp_cache.cc:
Extended interface for sp_cache by adding helper routine
sp_cache_enforce_limit to control size of stored routines cache for
overflow. Also added method enforce_limit into class sp_cache that
implements control of cache size for overflow.
sql/sp_cache.h:
Extended interface for sp_cache by adding standalone routine
sp_cache_enforce_limit to control size of stored routines cache
for overflow.
sql/sql_parse.cc:
Added flush of sp_cache after processing of next sql-statement
received from a client.
sql/sql_prepare.cc:
Added flush of sp_cache after preparation/execution of next prepared
sql-statement received from a client.
sql/sys_vars.cc:
Added support for configuration parameter stored-program-cache.

sql/share/errmsg-utf8.txt:
correct the error message, as query_cache_type variable is not read-ony anymore
sql/sql_cache.cc:
the caller should verify that query cache resize
is possible, before trying it
sql/sys_vars.cc:
* test if qc resize is possible in the sysvar on_check() funntion,
not in the on_update() function.
* use the error message that better describes the problem
To allow it, change minimum of thread_pool_stall_limit to be 10 milliseconds.
Also introduce a new parameter to oversubscribe a group . Number of threads running in parallel would be higher than it normally should, leading to thrashing, but it may improving preemptiveness, which is useful for the described corner case.
* rename all debugging related command-line options
and variables to start from "debug-", and made them all
OFF by default.
* replace "MySQL" with "MariaDB" in error messages
* "Cast ... converted ... integer to it's ... complement"
is now a note, not a warning
* @@query_cache_strip_comments now has a session scope,
not global.

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.

sql/mdl.cc:
Introduced caching of unused MDL_object_lock objects, in order to
avoid costs associated with constant creation and destruction of
such objects in single-connection workloads run in autocommit mode.
Such costs can be pretty high on systems where creation and
destruction of synchronization primitives require a system call
(e.g. Windows XP).
To implement this cache,a list of unused MDL_object_lock instances
was added to MDL_map object. Instead of being destroyed
MDL_object_lock instances are put into this list and re-used later
when creation of a new instance is required. Also added
MDL_lock::m_version counter to allow threads having outstanding
references to an MDL_object_lock instance to notice that it has
been moved to the unused objects list.
Added a global variable for a start-up parameter that limits
the size of the unused objects list.
Note that we don't cache MDL_scoped_lock objects since they
are supposed to be created only during execution of DDL
statements and therefore should not affect performance much.
sql/mdl.h:
Added a global variable for start-up parameter that limits the
size of the unused MDL_object_lock objects list and constant
for its default value.
sql/sql_plist.h:
Added I_P_List<>::pop_front() function.
sql/sys_vars.cc:
Introduced --metadata-locks-cache-size start-up parameter

objects.
