Description:
There is no stack trace printed to error log on solaris after a crash.
In this regard our own operating system is not supported properly, and crash analysis/and bug identification without a corefile is impossible.

How to repeat:
crash mysqld on solaris without corefile enabled and try determine why it crashed.

Suggested fix:
we need stack traces in the mysqld error log.
we also need correct value for thd->query to be printed.

Embarrassing, and a huge problem for troubleshooting customers crashes that
happen very intermittently.  Do you remember linux x64 problems with no stacks?

This should only be considered a feature request if Sun/MySQL is NOT committed to identifying and fixing serious product defects on our own 'supported' platform with alacritous fervency.  All customers that had crashes on solaris that were NOT innodb assertions, are affected. There are quite a few of them, I'm not going to list them all.

      Bug #47391 no stack trace printed to error log on 
      solaris after a crash
      
      This patch adds a Solaris-specific version of
      print_stacktrace() which uses printstack(2). The symbol
      names are mangled, so use of c++filt may be required as
      described in the MySQL documentation.

      Bug #47391 no stack trace printed to error log on 
      solaris after a crash
            
      This patch adds a Solaris-specific version of
      print_stacktrace() which uses printstack(2), available on all
      Solaris versions since Solaris 9. (While Solaris 11 adds
      support for the glibc functions backtrace_*() as of
      PSARC/2007/162, printstack() is used for consistency over all
      Solaris versions.)
      
      The symbol names are mangled, so use of c++filt may be
      required as described in the MySQL documentation.
     @ sql/stacktrace.c
        Added Solaris-specific print_stacktrace().
