CONSTRAINT.

Analysis
=======

INSERT and UPDATE operations using the IGNORE keyword which
causes FOREIGN KEY constraint violations reports an error
despite using the IGNORE keyword.

Foreign key violation errors were not ignored and reported
as errors instead of warnings even when IGNORE was set.

Fix
===
Added code to ignore the foreign key violation errors and
report them as warnings when the IGNORE keyword is used.

Fix the following two build warnings so that 5.5 can be compiled
with GCC5.

               ITEM_PARAM::SAFE_CHARSET_CONVERTER

ISSUE:
------
Charset conversion on a null parameter is not handled
correctly.

SOLUTION:
---------
Item_param's charset converter does not handle the case
where it might have to deal with a null value. This is
fine for other charset converters since the value is not
supplied to them at runtime.

The fix is to check if the parameter is now set to null and
return an Item_null object. Also, there is no need to
initialize Item_param's cnvitem in the constructor to a
string. This can be done in
ITEM_PARAM::SAFE_CHARSET_CONVERTER itself.

Members of Item_param, cnvbuf and cnvstr, have been removed
and cnvitem has been made a local variable in
ITEM_PARAM::SAFE_CHARSET_CONVERTER.

'SYSTEM LOCK' IN PROCESSLIST

Analysis
=========
Show processlist shows 'System Lock' in 'State' field while
LOAD DATA INFILE is running.

thd->proc_info update is missing in LOAD DATA INFILE path.
Thus any request will get last unpdated status from lock_table()
during open_table().

Fix:
=======
Update state information from LOAD DATA INFILE path.

Patch is reviewed by Sunny over IM.

Post-push fix: The problem was that condition variable
timeouts could in some cases (slow machines and/or short
timeouts) be infinite.

When the number of milliseconds to wait is computed, the
end time is computed before the now() time. This can result
in the now() time being later than the end time, leading to
negative timeout. Which after conversion to unsigned becomes
~infinite.

This patch fixes the problem by explicitly checking if we
get negative timeout and then using 0 if this is the case.

Post push fix for 5.5 and 5.6.Disabled the test code due to Bug#22587377

              GENERATED BY THE EXP() FUNCTION

When generating the error message for numeric overflow, pass a flag to
Item::print() that prevents it from expanding constant expressions and
parameters to the values they evaluate to.

For consistency, also pass the flag to Item::print() when
Item_func_spatial_collection::fix_length_and_dec() generates an error
message. It doesn't make any difference at the moment, since constant
expressions haven't been evaluated yet when this function is called.

we can see from the hang stacktrace, srv_monitor_thread is blocked
when getting log_sys::mutex, so that sync_arr_wake_threads_if_sema_free
cannot get a change to break the mutex deadlock.

The fix is simply removing any mutex wait in srv_monitor_thread.

Test Fix

               PROCEDURE RESULTS IN GARBAGE BYTES

Issue:
-----
This problem occurs under the following conditions:

a) Stored procedure has a variable is declared as TEXT/BLOB.
b) Data is copied into the the variable using the
   SELECT...INTO syntax from a TEXT/BLOB column.

Data corruption can occur in such cases.

SOLUTION:
---------
The blob type does not allocate space for the string to be
stored. Instead it contains a pointer to the source string.
Since the source is deallocated immediately after the
select statement, this can cause data corruption.

As part of the fix for Bug #21143080, when the source was
part of the table's write-set, blob would allocate the
neccessary space. But this fix missed the possibility that,
as in the above case, the target might be a variable.

The fix will add the copy_blobs check that was removed by
the earlier fix.

Problem Statement
=========
Fix various issues when building MySQL with Visual Studio 2015.

Fix:
=======
- Visual Studio 2015 adds support for timespec. Add check and
  related code to use this and only use our replacement if
  timespec is not defined.
- Rename lfind/lsearch to my* to avoid redefinition problems.
- Set default value for TMPDIR to "" on Windows as P_tmpdir
  no longer exists.
- using VS definition of snprintf if available
- tzname are now renamed to _tzname.

There is about 1 in 50,000 connections to fail
when using DHE cipher suites.  The second problem was the
case where a server would send a public value shorter than
the prime value, causing about 1 in 128 client connections
to fail, and also caused the yaSSL client to read off the
end of memory.
All client side DHE cipher suite users should update.
Note: The patch is received from YaSSL people

               UNIX_TIMESTAMP(STR_TO_DATE('201506', "%Y%M"

Issue:
-----
When an invalid date is supplied to the UNIX_TIMESTAMP
function from STR_TO_DATE, no check is performed before
converting it to a timestamp value.

SOLUTION:
---------
Add the check_date function and only if it succeeds,
proceed to the timestamp conversion.

No warning will be returned for dates having zero in
month/date, since partial dates are allowed. UNIX_TIMESTAMP
will return only a zero for such values.

The problem has been handled in 5.6+ with WL#946.

               COLUMNS

ANALYSIS:
=========
A valgrind error is reported when CREATE TABLE .. SELECT
involving BIT columns triggers a column type redefinition.

In general the pack_flag is set for BIT columns in
'mysql_prepare_create_table()'. However, during the above
operation, redefined column types was handled after the
special handling for BIT columns and thus pack_flag ended
up not being set correctly triggering the valgrind error.

FIX:
====
The patch fixes this problem by setting pack_flag correctly
for BIT columns in the case of column type redefinition.

Analysis and fix:
=================
This issue was fixed as part of Bug#20459363 fix in 5.6 and
above. Hence backporting the fix to MySQL-5.5.

    Problem:
    ========
    1) Drop table queries are re-generated by server
    before writing the events(queries) into binlog
    for various reasons. If table name/db name contains
    a non regular characters (like latin characters),
    the generated query is wrong. Hence it breaks the
    replication.
    2) In the edge case, when table name/db name contains
    64 characters, server is throwing an assert
    assert(M_TBLLEN < 128)
    3) In the edge case, when db name contains 64 latin
    characters, binlog content is interpreted badly
    which is leading replication failure.

    Analysis & Fix :
    ================
    1) Parser reads the table name from the query and converts
    it to standard charset(utf8) and stores it in table_name variable.
    When drop table query is regenerated with the same table_name
    variable, it should be converted back to the original charset
    from standard charset(utf8).

    2) Latin character takes two bytes for each character. Limit
    of the identifier is 64. SYSTEM_CHARSET_MBMAXLEN is set to '3'.
    So there is a possiblity that tablename/dbname contains 3 * 64.
    Hence assert is changed to
    (M_TBLLEN <= NAME_CHAR_LEN*SYSTEM_CHARSET_MBMAXLEN)

    3) db_len in the binlog event header is taking 1 byte.
       db_len is ranged from 0 to 192 bytes (3 * 64).
       While reading the db_len from the event, server
       is casting to uint instead of uchar which is leading
       to bad db_len. This problem is fixed by changing the
       cast type to uchar.

Fixing pb2 valgrind failure
Missed a 'if condition' check while moving the logic
from one place to another place.

Problem:
At the end of first execution select_lex->prep_where is pointing to
a runtime created object (temporary table field). As a result
server exits trying to access a invalid pointer during second
execution.

Analysis:
While optimizing the join conditions for the query, after the
permanent transformation, optimizer makes a copy of the new
where conditions in select_lex->prep_where. "prep_where" is what
is used as the "where condition" for the query at the start of execution.
W.r.t the query in question, "where" condition is actually pointing
to a field in the temporary table. As a result, for the  second
execution the pointer is no more valid resulting in server exit.

Fix:
At the end of the first execution, select_lex->where will have the
original item of the where condition.
Make prep_where the new place where the original item of select->where
has to be rolled back.
Fixed in 5.7 with the wl#7082 - Move permanent transformations from
JOIN::optimize to JOIN::prepare

Patch for 5.5 includes the following backports from 5.6:

Bugfix for Bug12603141 - This makes the first execute statement in the testcase
pass in 5.5

However it was noted later in in Bug16163596 that the above bugfix needed to
be modified. Although Bug16163596 is reproducible only with changes done for
Bug12582849, we have decided include the fix.

Considering that Bug12582849 is related to Bug12603141, the fix is
also included here. However this results in Bug16317817, Bug16317685,
Bug16739050. So fix for the above three bugs is also part of this patch.

               WITH NEW VALGRIND

Issue:
------
Function signature in valgrind.supp requires a change with
valgrind 3.11. Static function is replaced with wild card.

    Problem & Analysis: If DML invokes a trigger or a
    stored function that inserts into an AUTO_INCREMENT column,
    that DML has to be marked as 'unsafe' statement. If the
    tables are locked in the transaction prior to DML statement
    (using LOCK TABLES), then the same statement is not marked as
    'unsafe' statement. The logic of checking whether unsafeness
    is protected with if (!thd->locked_tables_mode). Hence if
    we lock the tables prior to DML statement, it is *not* entering
    into this if condition. Hence the statement is not marked
    as unsafe statement.

    Fix: Irrespective of locked_tables_mode value, the unsafeness
    check should be done. Now with this patch, the code is moved
    out to 'decide_logging_format()' function where all these checks
    are happening and also with out 'if(!thd->locked_tables_mode)'.
    Along with the specified test case in the bug scenario
    (BINLOG_STMT_UNSAFE_AUTOINC_COLUMNS), we also identified that
    other cases BINLOG_STMT_UNSAFE_AUTOINC_NOT_FIRST,
    BINLOG_STMT_UNSAFE_WRITE_AUTOINC_SELECT, BINLOG_STMT_UNSAFE_INSERT_TWO_KEYS
    are also protected with thd->locked_tables_mode which is not right. All
    of those checks also moved to 'decide_logging_format()' function.

               FAILURE WITH VALGRIND FOR RELEASE BUILD

Issue:
------
Initialization of variable with UNINIT_VAR is flagged by
valgrind 3.11.

SOLUTION:
---------

This is a backport of Bug# 14580121.

HA_MYISAMMRG.CC:631

Analysis
========
Any attempt to open a temporary MyISAM merge table consisting
of a view in its list of tables (not the last table in the list)
under LOCK TABLES causes the server to exit.

Current implementation doesn't perform sanity checks during
merge table creation. This allows merge table to be created
with incompatible tables (table with non-myisam engine),
views or even with table doesn't exist in the system.

During view open, check to verify whether requested view
is part of a merge table is missing under LOCK TABLES path
in open_table(). This leads to opening of underlying table
with parent_l having NULL value. Later when attaching child
tables to parent, this hits an ASSERT as all child tables
should have parent_l pointing to merge parent. If the operation
does not happen under LOCK TABLES mode, open_table() checks
for view's parent_l and returns error.

Fix:
======
Check added before opening view Under LOCK TABLES in open_table()
to verify whether it is part of merge table. Error is returned
if the view is part of a merge table.

DOING BAD DDL IN PREPARED STATEMENT

Analysis
========
A repeat execution of the prepared statement 'ALTER TABLE v1
CHECK PARTITION' where v1 is a view leads to server exit.

ALTER TABLE ... CHECK PARTITION is not applicable for views
and check for the same check is missing. This leads to
further execution and creation of derived table for the view
(Allocated under temp_table mem_root). Any reference to open
 view or related pointers from second execution leads to
server exit as the same was freed at previous execution closure.

Fix:
======
Added check for view in mysql_admin_table() on PARTITION
operation. This will prevent mysql_admin_table() from
going ahead and creating temp table and related issues.
Changed message on admin table view operation error to
be more appropriate.

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.
