Description:
The release notes for 5.7.1 state

"The new tablespace, ibtmp1, is located in the /tmp directory by default. A newly added configuration file option, --innodb_temp_data_file_path, allows for a user-defined temporary data file path." 

However, the implemented default is DATADIR.

How to repeat:
Take a look at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/mysql/5.7/en/news-5-7-1.html
