Issue:
-----
When a varchar column is used to fill the record in an
internal temporary table, the length of the string stored
in the column is not taken into account. Instead the
default length of packed data is used to copy with memmove.
This will cause valgrind issues since some bytes are
uninitialized.

SOLUTION:
---------
The solution is to take into account the length of the
string stored in the column while filling the record.

This fix is a backport of BUG#13389854.

Issue
-----
This problem occurs when varchar columns are used in a
internal temporary table. The type of the field is set
incorrectly to the generic FIELD_NORMAL type. This in turn
results in an inaccurate calculation of the record length.
Valgrind issues will occur since initialization has not
happend for some bytes.

Fix
----
While creating the temporary table, the type of the field
needs to be to set FIELD_VARCHAR. This will allow myisam
to calculate the record length accurately.

This fix is a backport of BUG#13350136.

               2ND EXECUTION OF PS

Description:
------------
When MySQL calls 'EXECUTE stmt' firstly to deal with ORDER BY clause which is
similar with 'ORDER BY 1,(t2a.f2+1)' in find_order_in_list(), it believes the
first expression is a position, the function replaces the pointer of the first
expression with Item_field object associated with a temporary table field,
then releases it after the end of the execution, that behavior destroys the
pointer of first expression.

After that, when MySQL calls 'EXECUTE stmt' once more, the first expression
points to an invalid pointer, so it crashed.

Fix:
----
If an item of ORDER clause is a location, reset 'args' with a original value.

===========
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.

 Issue: main.events_1 will fail after 10-10-2015 due
         to hardcoded dates specified with events.
 Fix: Replace harcoded dates with current dates and offset.

Issue:
======
While re-preparing the statement in
Prepared_statement::swap_prepared_statement for swapping
the database of PS we only swapped the db string but not
its length. This resulted in mismatch between the actual
string and its length. In one particular case where db
of PS was dropped, we have db as null pointer and length
as non-zero. strdup which used above values resulted in
invalid memory access.

Solution:
=========
In Prepared_statement::swap_prepared_statement also swap
db_length along with db variable. Also, remove
DBUG_ASSERT(db_length == copy->db_length) as this have
no meaning if they are 2 different entities.

Move date 10 years forward to let test pass for some more years.

                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.

                CRASHES IN WILD_CASE_COMPARE!

Description:- Executing FLUSH PRIVILEGES and REVOKE/
GRANT concurrently crashes the server.

Analysis:- Concurrent FLUSH PRIVILEGES and REVOKE/GRANT
might trigger a small time frame in which REVOKE/GRANT
fetches the "acl_proxy_user" information as a part of
"acl_check_proxy_grant_access()". Meanwhile FLUSH PRIVILEGES
deletes the old acl structures as a part of "acl_reload()".
After which REVOKE/GRANT tries to access the hostname in
"wild_case_compare()" which leads to a crash because of the
invalid memory access.

Fix:- Mutex lock on "acl_cache" is acquired before fetching
"acl_proxy_user" information in
"acl_check_proxy_grant_access()".

Issue:
======
The fulltext predicate is inside a subquery and involves
an outer reference; it thus cannot be used for FT index look-up,
but MySQL does not see it, which causes a illegal access.

Solution:
=========
Solution is backported from bug#21140088. Outer reference can
not be used as argument of the MATCH function. Added check for
outer reference.

               CONVERT_CHARSET_PARTITION_CONSTANT:
               SQL/SQL_PARTITION..CC:202

Issue:
-----
This problem happens under the following conditions:
1) A table partitioned with a character column as the key.
2) The expressions specified in the partition definition
   requires a charset conversion. This can happen when the
   server's default collation is different from the
   expression's collation.
3) INSERT DELAYED is used to insert data into the table.

SOLUTION:
---------
While creating the delayed_insert object, initialize it
with the relevant select_lex.

               UPDATE VIEW USING OUTER SUBQUERY

Issue:
-----
While resolving a column which refers to a table/view in an
outer query, it's respecitve item object is marked with the
outer query's select_lex object. But when the column refers
to a view or if the column is part of a subquery in the
HAVING clause, an Item_ref object is created. While the
reference to the outer query is stored by the Item_ref
object, the same is not stored in it's real_item.

This creates a problem with the IN-TO-EXISTS optmization.
When there is an index over the column in the inner query,
it will be considered since the column's real_item object
will be mistaken for a local field. This will lead to a
crash.

SOLUTION:
---------
Under the current design, the only way to fix this issue is
to check the reginfo.join_tab for a NULL value. If yes, the
query should not be worrying about the key use.

The testcase and comments added as part of the fix for
Bug#17766653 have been backported.

    As MySQL Connector C 6.1 is end of life, added conflict with mysql-connector-c-shared dependencies

                FILE

PROBLEM

In 5.5 when doing doing a rename of a column ,we ignore the case between
old and new column names while comparing them,so if the change is just
the case then we don't even mark the field FIELD_IS_RENAMED ,we just update
the frm file ,but don't recreate the table as is the norm when alter is
used.This leads to inconsistency in the innodb data dictionary which causes
index creation to fail.

FIX

According to the documentation any innodb column rename should trigger
rebuild of the table. Therefore for innodb tables we will do a strcmp()
between the column names and if there is case change in column name
we will trigger a rebuild.

Description: The command FLUSH DES_KEY_FILE is expected to
reload the DES keys from the file that was specified with
the "--des-key-file" option at server startup. But it is not
behaving as expected.

Analysis: The des file reload is defined within a wrong
conditional directive, rendering the command ineffective.
Macro "OPENSSL" was used instead of "HAVE_OPENSSL" macro.

Fix: "OPENSSL" macro is changed to "HAVE_OPENSSL".

Note: Backporting the patch from mysql-5.6.

Problem:

A CREATE TABLE with an invalid table name is detected
at SQL layer. So the table name is reset to an empty
string.  But the storage engine is called with this
empty table name.  The table name is specified as
"database/table".  So, in the given scenario we get
only "database/".

Solution:

Within InnoDB, detect this error and report it to
higher layer.

Issue:
-----
While using row comparators, the store_value functions call
val_xxx functions in the prepare phase. This can cause
valgrind issues.

SOLUTION:
---------
Setting up of the comparators should be done by
alloc_comparators in the prepare phase. Also, make sure
store_value will be called only during execute phase.

DESCRIPTION
===========
Crash occurs when daemon_example plugin is uninstalled
immediately after its installed. This can be reproduced
by installing and uninstalling the plugin repeatedly.

ANALYSIS
========
The daemon_example_plugin_deinit() function of the daemon
example plugin calls pthread_cancel() but doesn't wait for
the worker thread to actually complete before deallocating
the data buffer and closing the file that it writes to.
This is causing SEGFAULT!

FIX
===
Added a pthread_join() to wait for the thread to complete
before doing the cleanup work.

Removed a stray 'x' variable from the example code.

NOTE
====
Have made an entry in .opt file as given below:
--plugin-dir=$DAEMONEXAMPLE_DIR

This is done so that the program takes plugin directory as
../<dbg>/plugin/daemon_example/ instead of
../lib/plugin/

recv_find_max_checkpoint(): Amend the error message to give advice
about downgrading. The 5.7.9 redo log format was intentionally changed
so that older MySQL versions will not find a valid redo log checkpoint.

                PID_FILE CHECK LEADS TO OOM SIG 11

Description:- A server started with 'query_alloc_block_size'
option set to a certain range of negative values on a
machine without enough memory may lead to OOM.

Analysis:- Server uses 'strtoull()' to convert server
variable values of type 'GET_UINT', 'GET_ULONG' or 'GET_ULL'
from string to unsigned long long. According to the man
page, 'strtoull()' function returns either the result of the
conversion or, if there was a leading minus sign, the
negation of the result of the conversion represented as an
unsigned value, unless the original(nonnegated) value would
overflow; in the latter case, strtoull() returns ULLONG_MAX
and sets errno to ERANGE. So 'strtoull()' converts a small
negative value to a larger postive value. For example string
'-1125899906842624' will be converted to an unsigned value,
'18445618173802708992' (ulonglong typecast of
'-1125899906842624'). So a
server started with 'query_alloc_block_size' set to
"-1125899906842624" on a machine without enough memory will
lead to OOM since server allocates '18445618173802708992'
bytes(17178820608 GB) for query allocation block.

Fix:- When server is started with any server variable, of
type "GET_UINT", "GET_ULONG" or "GET_ULL", set to a negative
value, a warning, "option xxx: value -yyy adjusted to zzz"
is thrown and the value is adjusted to the lowest possible
value for that variable. The dynamic server variable which
is configured through the client exhibit the same behavior
as fix made for variables configured during the server
start up.

              FIELD_ITERATOR_TABLE::END_OF_FIELDS

Note: This a backport of the patch for bug#19894987
      to MySQL-5.5

               PROBLEMS

Description:- Server variable "--lower_case_tables_names"
when set to "0" on windows platform which does not support
case sensitive file operations leads to problems. A warning
message is printed in the error log while starting the
server with "--lower_case_tables_names=0". Also according to
the documentation, seting "lower_case_tables_names" to "0"
on a case-insensitive filesystem might lead to index
corruption.

Analysis:- The problem reported in the bug is:-
Creating an INNODB table 'a' and executing a query, "INSERT
INTO a SELECT a FROM A;" on a server started with
"--lower_case_tables_names=0" and running on a
case-insensitive filesystem leads innodb to flat spin.
Optimizer thinks that "a" and "A" are two different tables
as the variable "lower_case_table_names" is set to "0". As a
result, optimizer comes up with a plan which does not need a
temporary table. If the same table is used in select and
insert, a temporary table is needed. This incorrect
optimizer plan leads to infinite insertions.

Fix:- If the server is started with
"--lower_case_tables_names" set to 0 on a case-insensitive
filesystem, an error, "The server option
'lower_case_table_names'is configured to use case sensitive
table names but the data directory is on a case-insensitive
file system which is an unsupported combination. Please
consider either using a case sensitive file system for your
data directory or switching to a case-insensitive table name
mode.", is printed in the server error log and the server
exits.

Syncs "official" and our own Docker images

DESCRIPTION
===========
Inability of mysql LOAD XML command to handle empty XML
tags i.e. <row><tag/></row>. Also the behaviour is wrong
and (different than above) when there is a space in empty
tag i.e. <row><tag /></row>

ANALYSIS
========
In read_xml() the case where we encounter a close tag ('/')
we're decreasing the 'level' blindly which is wrong.
Actually when its an without-space-empty-tag (succeeding
char is '>'), we need to skip the decrement. In other words
whenever we hit a close tag ('/'), decrease the 'level'
only when (i) It's not an (without space) empty tag i.e.
<tag/> or, (ii) It is of format <row col="val" .../>

FIX
===
The switch case for '/' is modified. We've removed the
blind decrement of 'level'. We do it only when its not an
without-space-empty-tag. Also we are setting 'in_tag' to
false to let program know that we're done reading current
tag (required in the case of format <row col="val" .../>)

              VIEW


It appears that the code refactoring done as part of the
patch for the MySQL BUG#11749859 fixed this issue. This
issue is not reproducible on MySQL 5.5+ versions now.
As part of this patch, the test file "mysqldump.test" has
been updated to remove the comment which was referring to
the bug and also the line which suppresses the warning.

Analysis :
==========
During JOIN::prepare of sub-query which creates the
derived tables we call setup_procedure. Here we call
fix_fields for parameters of procedure clause. Calling
setup_procedure at this point may cause issue. If
sub-query is one of parameter being fixed it might
lead to complicated dependencies on derived tables
being prepared.

SOLUTION :
==========
In 5.6 with WL#6242, we have made procedure clause
parameters can only be NUM, so sub-queries are not
allowed as parameters. So in 5.5 we can block
sub-queries in procedure clause parameters.
This eliminates above conflicting dependencies.

PROBLEM

Whenever we insert in unique secondary index we take shared
locks on all possible duplicate record present in the table.
But while during a replace on the unique secondary index ,
we take exclusive and locks on the all duplicate record.
When the records are deleted, they are first delete marked
and later purged by the purge thread. While purging the
record we call the lock_update_delete() which in turn calls
lock_rec_inherit_to_gap() to inherit locks of the deleted
records. In repeatable read mode we inherit all the locks
from the record to the next record  but in the read commited
mode we skip inherting them as gap type locks. We make a
exception here if the lock on the records is  in shared mode
,we assume that it is set during insert for unique secondary
index and needs to be inherited to stop constraint violation.
We didnt handle the case when exclusive locks are set during
replace, we skip inheriting locks of these records and hence
causing constraint violation.

FIX

While inheriting the locks,check whether the transaction is
allowed to do TRX_DUP_REPLACE/TRX_DUP_IGNORE, if true
inherit the locks.

[ Revewied by Jimmy #rb9709]

The root cause is that x86 has a stronger memory model than the ARM
processors. And the GCC builtins didn't issue the correct fences when
setting/unsetting the lock word. In particular during the mutex release.

The solution is rewriting atomic TAS operations: replace '__sync_' by
'__atomic_' if possible.
