DESCRIPTION: Valgrind (the memcheck tool) has some very useful APIs that can be used in mysqld when testing with Valgrind to improve testing and/or debugging: file:///usr/share/doc/valgrind/html/mc-manual.html#mc-manual.clientreqs file:///usr/share/doc/valgrind/html/mc-manual.html#mc-manual.mempools This worklog is about adding configure checks and headers to allow to use these in a way that continues to work on machines where the Valgrind headers or functionality is missing. It also includes adding some basic Valgrind enhancements: - Adding Valgrind annotations to custom memory allocators so that Valgrind can detect leaks, use-before-init, and use-after-free problems also for these allocators. - Adding checks for definedness in appropriate places (eg. when calling libz). HIGH-LEVEL SPECIFICATION: With custom memory allocators, using the Valgrind APIs we can tell Valgrind when a memory block is allocated (so that data read from memory is marked as undefined instead of being defined or not at random depending on prior use); and when a memory block is freed (so that use after freeing can be reported as an error). In some cases cheking for leaks may also be appropriate. Another possibility is to add an explicit check for whether memory is defined. One place this would be useful is when calling libz. Due to the design of that library, Valgrind produces lots of false alarms about using undefined values (I think the issue is that it runs a few bytes off of initialized memory to reduce boundary checks in each loop iteration, then after the loop has checks to avoid using the undefined part of the result). This means we have lots of libz Valgrind suppressions and continue to add more as new warnings surface. So we might easily miss a real problem in this area. This could be improved by adding explicit checks at the call to libz functions that the passed memory is properly defined. Another use is to improve debugging. It is often the case when debugging a warning about using un-initialised memory that the detection happens long after the real problem, the un-initialized value being passed along through the code for a long time before being detected. This makes debugging the problem slow. By adding in strategic places code that asserts that a specific value must be initialised, it is possible to detect problems earlier, speeding up debugging. Such code can be added in more places over time as development and debugging goes on. See also a patch here: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=44582 LOW-LEVEL DESIGN: Two places where we call into libz, and where checking for defined parameters would be good: - mysys/my_compress.c - sql/item_strfunc.cc (Item_func_compress). Another good place is in the TRASH_MEM macro. ESTIMATED WORK TIME ESTIMATED COMPLETION DATE ----------------------------------------------------------------------- WorkLog (v3.5.9)

DESCRIPTION: Valgrind (the memcheck tool) has some very useful APIs that can be used in mysqld when testing with Valgrind to improve testing and/or debugging: file:///usr/share/doc/valgrind/html/mc-manual.html#mc-manual.clientreqs file:///usr/share/doc/valgrind/html/mc-manual.html#mc-manual.mempools This worklog is about adding configure checks and headers to allow to use these in a way that continues to work on machines where the Valgrind headers or functionality is missing. It also includes adding some basic Valgrind enhancements: - Adding Valgrind annotations to custom memory allocators so that Valgrind can detect leaks, use-before-init, and use-after-free problems also for these allocators. - Adding checks for definedness in appropriate places (eg. when calling libz). HIGH-LEVEL SPECIFICATION: With custom memory allocators, using the Valgrind APIs we can tell Valgrind when a memory block is allocated (so that data read from memory is marked as undefined instead of being defined or not at random depending on prior use); and when a memory block is freed (so that use after freeing can be reported as an error). In some cases cheking for leaks may also be appropriate. Another possibility is to add an explicit check for whether memory is defined. One place this would be useful is when calling libz. Due to the design of that library, Valgrind produces lots of false alarms about using undefined values (I think the issue is that it runs a few bytes off of initialized memory to reduce boundary checks in each loop iteration, then after the loop has checks to avoid using the undefined part of the result). This means we have lots of libz Valgrind suppressions and continue to add more as new warnings surface. So we might easily miss a real problem in this area. This could be improved by adding explicit checks at the call to libz functions that the passed memory is properly defined. Another use is to improve debugging. It is often the case when debugging a warning about using un-initialised memory that the detection happens long after the real problem, the un-initialized value being passed along through the code for a long time before being detected. This makes debugging the problem slow. By adding in strategic places code that asserts that a specific value must be initialised, it is possible to detect problems earlier, speeding up debugging. Such code can be added in more places over time as development and debugging goes on. See also a patch here: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=44582 LOW-LEVEL DESIGN: Two places where we call into libz, and where checking for defined parameters would be good: - mysys/my_compress.c - sql/item_strfunc.cc (Item_func_compress). Another good place is in the TRASH_MEM macro. ESTIMATED WORK TIME ESTIMATED COMPLETION DATE ----------------------------------------------------------------------- WorkLog (v3.5.9)

If one is using statement-based replication, he can achieve this by grepping out "USE dbname" statements out of the output of mysqlbinlog(*). With row-based replication this is no longer possible, as database name is encoded within the the BINLOG '....' statement. This task is about adding an option to mysqlbinlog that would allow to change the names of used databases in both RBR and SBR events. (*) this implies that all statements refer to tables in the current database, doesn't catch updates made inside stored functions and so forth, but still works for a practially-important subset of cases. HIGH-LEVEL SPECIFICATION: Context ------- At the moment, the server has a replication slave option --replicate-rewrite-db="from->to" the option affects - Table_map_log_event (all RBR events) - Load_log_event (LOAD DATA) - Query_log_event (SBR-based updates, with the usual assumption that the statement refers to tables in current database, so that changing the current database will make the statement to work on a table in a different database). What we could do ---------------- Option1: make mysqlbinlog accept --replicate-rewrite-db option ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Make mysqlbinlog accept --replicate-rewrite-db options and process them to the same extent as replication slave would process --replicate-rewrite-db option. Option2: Add database-agnostic RBR events and --strip-db option ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Right now RBR events require a databasename. It is not possible to have RBR event stream that won't mention which database the events are for. When I tried to use debugger and specify empty database name, attempt to apply the binlog resulted in this error: 090809 17:38:44 [ERROR] Slave SQL: Error 'Table '.tablename' doesn't exist' on opening tables, We could do as follows: - Make the server interpret empty database name in RBR event (i.e. in a Table_map_log_event) as "use current database". Binlog slave thread probably should not allow such events as it doesn't have a natural current database. - Add a mysqlbinlog --strip-db option that would = not produce any "USE dbname" statements = change databasename for all RBR events to be empty That way, mysqlbinlog output will be database-agnostic and apply to the current database. (this will have the usual limitations that we assume that all statements in the binlog refer to the current database). Option3: Enhance database rewrite ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If there is a need to support database change for statements that use dbname.tablename notation and are replicated as statements (i.e. are DDL statements and/or DML statements that are binlogged as statements), then that could be supported as follows: - Make the server's parser recognize special form of comments /* !database-alias(oldname,newname) */ and save the mapping somewhere - Put the hooks in table open and name resolution code to use the saved mapping. Once we've done the above, it will be easy to perform a complete, no-compromise or restrictions database name change in binary log. It will be possible to do the rewrites either on the slave ( --replicate-rewrite-db will work for all kinds of statements), or in mysqlbinlog (adding a comment is easy and doesn't require use to parse the statement).
