Description:
http://www.mysqlperformanceblog.com/2006/07/19/stack-trace-for-x86_64-boxes/

This is a patch from Vadim to automatically resolve stack during a crash on x86_64 (currently MySQL only does this on x86).

How to repeat:
look at a crash on amd64

Suggested fix:
apply the patch.

[7 Sep 2006 17:07] Timothy Smith
Note: this patch has been back-ported into 4.1.

Queued in the -maint team tree, will be merged into global 4.1 and available in next 4.1 release (4.1.22).

this patch doesn't seem to work in 99% of the cases.
we're not getting any stack traces on 64-bit binaries.
in about 50% of cases the query is printed, but stack trace always contains only a single line with what appears to be ascii characters.

setting back to verified status.
[29 Jul 2008 5:51] MySQL Verification Team
please also fix the thd->query output. 99% of the time this not even a valid pointer.  there are some cases where it makes sense, such as replication thread/rbr, or background threads, but we've seen this value corrupted alot even on normal queries.

related to this bug is bug #35987 which applies to windows binaries.
[10 Sep 2008 6:49] MySQL Verification Team
Noted, 5.1.28 seems to work but 5.0.68 doesn't work in this case:

login to ndbsup-1 and run the following two testcases
against the mysql-enterprise-gpl-5.1.28-rc-linux-x86_64-glibc23

create table t (t timestamp) engine=innodb;
select * from t where t>'2008-01-01' and t='0000-00-00';

prepare s from 'select 1 from dual where (@@new)';
execute s;

Here's the error log!

This could be because you hit a bug. It is also possible that this binary
or one of the libraries it was linked against is corrupt, improperly built,
or misconfigured. This error can also be caused by malfunctioning hardware.
We will try our best to scrape up some info that will hopefully help diagnose
the problem, but since we have already crashed, something is definitely wrong
and this may fail.

Hope that's ok; if not, decrease some variables in the equation.

removing 5.1 from the versions affected until I see more recent 5.1 error logs without stack trace on systems that support it.
[26 Sep 2008 15:49] Paul DuBois
Amended changelog entry:

MySQL did not properly do stack dumps on x86_64 and i386/NPTL
systems. (Note that the initial fix for this problem was discovered
not to be correct. Further work on the problem was undertaken only
for MySQL 5.1 and up. See Bug#31891.)
