mysqldump/mysql_install_db.exe fail
The bug is described in
https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/Feedback/Details/1902345
When reading from a pipe in text mode, using CRT function such as fread(),
some newlines may be lost. Workaround is to use binary mode on reading side
and if necessary, replace \r\n with \n.
a correct fix:
* store properly quoted table names in tables4repair/etc lists
* tell handle_request_for_tables whether the name is aalready properly quoted
* test cases for all uses of fix_table_name()
`--help` is a perfectly valid parameter and both `mysqladmin` and
`mysql_waitpid` should exit with success (zero errror code).

Fix test whether process is alive in mysqltest.
Also fix SHUT_RD definition on Windows to be SD_RECEIVE.
SD_BOTH was used instead prior to this patch, and this would
occasionally make mysql_shutdown() fail - when the socket for the current connection
is not able send the COM_SHUTDOWN response anymore.
ERROR MESSAGE
Description:- Mtr test, "main.mysqldump" is failing with an
assert when "mysqlimport" client utility is executed with
the option "--use_threads".
Analysis:- "mysqlimport" uses the option, "--use_threads",
to spawn worker threads to complete its job in parallel. But
currently the main thread is not waiting for the worker
threads to complete its cleanup, rather just wait for the
worker threads to say its done doing its job. So the cleanup
is done in a race between the worker threads and the main
thread. This lead to an assertion failure.
Fix:- "my_thread_join()" is introduced in the main thread to
join all the worker threads it have spawned. This will let
the main thread to wait for all the worker threads to
complete its cleanup before calling "my_end()".
DESCRIPTION
===========
Buffer overflow is reported in a lot of code sections
spanning across server, client programs, Regex libraries
etc. If not handled appropriately, they can cause abnormal
behaviour.
ANALYSIS
========
The reported casea are the ones which are likely to result
in SEGFAULT, MEMORY LEAK etc.
FIX
===
- sprintf() has been replaced by my_snprintf() to avoid
buffer overflow.
- my_free() is done after checking if the pointer isn't
NULL already and setting it to NULL thereafter at few
places.
- Buffer is ensured to be large enough to hold the data.
- 'unsigned int' (aka 'uint') is replaced with 'size_t'
to avoid wraparound.
- Memory is freed (if not done so) after its alloced and
used.
- Inserted assert() for size check in InnoDb memcached
code (from 5.6 onwards)
- Other minor changes
(cherry picked from commit 3487e20959c940cbd24429afa795ebfc8a01e94f)

cherry-pick f1daf9ce from 10.0 branch
-------------------------------------
Fix build failures caused by new C runtime library
- isnan, snprintf, struct timespec are now defined, attempt to
redefine them leads
- P_tmpdir, tzname are no more defined
- lfind() and lsearch() in lf_hash.c had to be renamed, declaration
conflicts with some C runtime functions with the same name declared in
a header included by stdlib.h
Also fix couple of annoying warnings :
- remove #define NOMINMAX from config.h to avoid "redefined" compiler
warnings(NOMINMAX is already in compile flags)
- disable incremental linker in Debug as well (feature not used much
and compiler crashes often)
Also simplify package building with Wix, require Wix 3.9 or later
(VS2015 is not compatible with old Wix 3.5/3.6)
mysqldump --routine fails to dump databases containing backslash ("\")
character. This happened because escaped database name was being used as an
identifier while changing current database. Such identifers are not supposed
to be escaped, they must be properly quoted instead.
===========
When doing an upgrade, you execute mysql_upgrade. If
mysql_upgrade fails to connect or it connects with a user
without the proper privileges, it will return the error:
FATAL ERROR: Upgrade failed
which is not very informative.
ANALYSIS
========
In main() and check_version_match(), the condition for
errors are clubbed together and throw the same error msg.
The functions need to be splitted up and the corresponding
error msgs have to be displayed.
FIX
===
Splitted the functions and added the specific error msg.
IMPLEMENTED IN ALL CLIENT PROGRAMS
Description: Option "enable-cleartext-plugin" is not
available for the following client utilities:-
mysqldump
mysqlimport
mysqlshow
mysqlcheck
Analysis: The unavailability of this option limits the
features like PAM authentication from using the above
mentioned utilities.
Fix: Option "enable-cleartext-plugin" is implemented in the
above mentioned client utilities.
MYSQLADMIN -U ROOT -P
DESCRIPTION
===========
Crash occurs when no command is given while executing
mysqladmin utility.
ANALYSIS
========
In mask_password() the final write to array 'temp_argv'
is done without checking if corresponding index 'argc'
is valid (non-negative) or not. In case its negative
(would happen when this function is called with 'argc'=0),
it may cause a SEGFAULT. Logically in such a case,
mask_password() should not have been called as it would do
no valid thing.
FIX
===
mask_password() is now called after checking 'argc'. This
function is now called only when 'argc' is positive
otherwise the process terminates
MULTIPLE THREADS
Description:- The utility "mysqlimport" does not use
multiple threads for the execution with option
"--use-threads". "mysqlimport" while importing multiple
files and multiple tables, uses a single thread even if the
number of threads are specified with "--use-threads" option.
Analysis:- This utility uses ifdef HAVE_LIBPTHREAD to check
for libpthread library and if defined uses libpthread
library for mutlithreaing. Since HAVE_LIBPTHREAD is not
defined anywhere in the source, "--use-threads" option is
silently ignored.
Fix:- "-DTHREADS" is set to the COMPILE_FLAGS which will
enable pthreads. HAVE_LIBPTHREAD macro is removed.
Description:- mysqlslap is a diagnostic utility designed to
emulate client load for a MySQL server and to report the
timing of each stage. This utility crashes when invalid
values are passed to the options 'num_int_cols_opt' or
'num_chars_cols_opt' or 'engine'.
Analysis:- mysqlslap uses "parse_option()" to parse the
values specified to the options 'num_int_cols_opt',
'num_chars_cols_opt' and 'engine'. These options takes
values separated by commas. In "parse_option()", the comma
separated values are separated and copied into a buffer
without checking the length of the string to be copied. The
size of the buffer is defined by a macro HUGE_STRING_LENGTH
whose value is 8196. So if the length of the any of the
comma separated value exceeds HUGE_STRING_LENGTH, will
result in a buffer overflow.
Fix:- A check is introduced in "parse_option()" to check
whether the size of the string to be copied is more than
HUGE_STRING_LENGTH. If it is more, an error, "Invalid value
specified for the option 'xxx'" is thrown.
Option length was incorrectly calculated for the last comma
separated value. So fixed that as well.
Change mysqlcheck option to upgrade-views={NO,YES,FROM_MYSQL}
mysql_upgrade now runs upgrade-views=yes to perform a checksum of all
views and add mariadb-version by default. upgrade-views=from_mysql if
MySQL is detected as teh origin version.
