MDEV-7951 - sql_alloc() takes 0.25% in OLTP RO
sql_alloc() has additional costs compared to direct mem_root allocation: - function call: it is defined in a separate translation unit and can't be inlined - it needs to call pthread_getspecific() to get THD::mem_root
It is called dozens of times implicitely at least by: - List<>::push_back() - List<>::push_front() - new (for Sql_alloc derived classes) - sql_memdup()
Replaced lots of implicit sql_alloc() calls with direct mem_root allocation, passing through THD pointer whenever it is needed.
Number of sql_alloc() calls reduced 345 -> 41 per OLTP RO transaction. pthread_getspecific() overhead dropped 0.76 -> 0.59 sql_alloc() overhed dropped 0.25 -> 0.06
ok to push Regards, Sergei
