    [mysql] Clean-room auth handshake codec (scramble + handshake + packet, 
Stage 1a of #2093) (#3310)
    
    * feat(mysql): clean-room auth-handshake codec (scramble + handshake + 
packet)
    
    Picks up the connection-phase authentication layer of MySQL protocol
    support per the staged plan announced on [email protected] and
    PR #2093. Three modules under src/brpc/policy/mysql_auth/:
    
      - mysql_auth_scramble:  mysql_native_password (SHA1 XOR), plus
        caching_sha2_password fast path (SHA256 XOR) and slow path with
        both branches:
          - RSA-OAEP via OpenSSL EVP_PKEY_encrypt + PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING
          - TLS-cleartext (NUL-terminated password) selected at runtime
            via CachingSha2PasswordSlowPath(..., bool is_ssl = false).
            Default is_ssl=false preserves RSA behavior for callers not
            yet threaded with the connection's TLS state.
      - mysql_auth_packet:    length-encoded int/string, 4-byte packet
        header, NUL-terminated string.
      - mysql_auth_handshake: HandshakeV10 parse, HandshakeResponse41
        build, AuthSwitchRequest parse, AuthMoreData parse.
    
    All written clean-room from MySQL's public protocol documentation;
    no GPL-licensed source was consulted. SHA-256 and RSA paths use
    OpenSSL EVP -- works under both OpenSSL and BoringSSL.
    
    75 unit tests across three files under test/mysql_auth/:
      36 in brpc_mysql_auth_scramble_unittest.cpp
      19 in brpc_mysql_auth_handshake_unittest.cpp
      20 in brpc_mysql_auth_packet_unittest.cpp
    
    Mirrors every client-relevant case from mysql/mysql-server's
    GPLv2 unittest/gunit/sha2_password-t.cc + sha256_scramble_t.cc with
    independently re-derived hex vectors. Server-side cases (cache,
    storage format, *_verification_*) are out of scope for a client
    library; full mapping table linked from the PR description.
    
    Scope limits in this CL: auth codec only. No PROTOCOL_MYSQL
    registration, no Socket integration, no compressed packets, no
    prepared statements, no transactions. All land in the follow-up CL.
    TLS state plumbing in Stage 1c flows the dispatcher's
    Socket::is_ssl() into the trailing argument here -- no further API
    change.
    
    Replaces the earlier src/brpc/policy/mysql_auth_hash.{h,cpp} +
    test/brpc_mysql_auth_hash_unittest.cpp; those files are moved into
    the new mysql_auth/ subdirectory and renamed.
    
    * fix(mysql): handle lenenc NULL (0xFB) and reject oversize auth_response
    
    Address review findings on the Stage-1a auth codec (#3310):
    
    - DecodeLengthEncodedInt/String: 0xFB is the protocol NULL marker, not an
      error. Decode it as NULL (1 byte consumed) via a new optional bool*
      is_null out-param instead of folding it into the failure path, so the
      shared codec can faithfully parse resultsets containing NULL. Define
      *out/*is_null on every path and use an overflow-safe bounds check.
    
    - BuildHandshakeResponse41: the CLIENT_SECURE_CONNECTION 1-byte length
      prefix cannot represent an auth_response >255 bytes. Fail hard (return
      bool false, write nothing, LOG(ERROR)) instead of silently truncating,
      which produced an invalid response and desynchronized the packet stream.
      Callers with larger payloads must negotiate
      CLIENT_PLUGIN_AUTH_LENENC_CLIENT_DATA.
    
    Adds unit tests for the NULL marker (int + string) and for the oversize
    reject / 255-byte boundary cases.

    * chore(mysql): add diagnostic error logs on auth-codec failure paths
    
    Per review (chenBright on #3310): the handshake/packet parsers returned
    false/0 silently on malformed, truncated, or unsupported input, giving no
    clue why a connection failed. Add a LOG(ERROR) at each failure path naming
    the function and the concrete cause (truncated <field>, pre-4.1 server,
    reserved 0xFF marker, length mismatch, etc.). Logic unchanged — only logs
    inserted; the lenenc NULL (0xFB) success path is intentionally not logged.
    
    Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <[email protected]>
    
    * chore(mysql): demote lenenc-codec diagnostic logs to LOG(WARNING)
    
    The length-encoded int/string/header decode failures fire during normal
    resultset parsing and are not catastrophic, so log them at WARNING rather
    than ERROR. Handshake-parse failures stay at LOG(ERROR) (a malformed
    handshake is a fatal connection-setup failure). Severity-only change.
    
    Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <[email protected]>
    
    * fix(mysql): build and run mysql/ unittests in Makefile CI path
    
    test/Makefile and test/run_tests.sh drive the make-based CI lane
    (clang-unittest: `cd test && make` then `sh ./run_tests.sh`). Both used
    non-recursive globs anchored at test/, so the new tests under test/mysql/
    were neither compiled nor executed there — only the CMake and Bazel lanes
    picked them up. The make lane was silently green without running them.
    
    - Makefile: add `$(wildcard mysql/brpc_*unittest.cpp)` to TEST_BRPC_SOURCES,
      plus a `mysql/brpc_%_unittest:` link rule (the existing `brpc_%_unittest:`
      pattern anchors on a literal `brpc_` prefix and won't match a `mysql/`
      target).
    - run_tests.sh: add `mysql/brpc*unittest` to the executed set and enable
      `nullglob` so a missing subdir expands to nothing instead of a bogus name.
    
    Addresses @chenBright's review note that test/Makefile is used by CI and
    must be updated for the new MySQL tests.

    * fix(test): make AuthCase a C++11 aggregate so push_back{...} compiles
    
    CI compiles the unittests with -std=c++0x (C++11). The test helper struct
    AuthCase had a default member initializer (bool use_ssl = false), which
    makes a class a non-aggregate under C++11 (the rule was only relaxed in
    C++14). That broke every g_auth_cases.push_back({label,user,password,ssl})
    with "no matching member function for call to 'push_back'", failing the
    clang-unittest and clang-unittest-asan compile-tests step.
    
    Drop the default member initializer; all five init sites already pass
    use_ssl explicitly, so behavior is unchanged and the struct is again an
    aggregate that accepts braced-init under C++11.

    * fix(build): compile src/brpc/policy/mysql into libbrpc in the Makefile
    
    The Makefile builds libbrpc by globbing $(d)/* over BRPC_DIRS, and the
    glob is non-recursive, so src/brpc/policy/mysql/*.cpp was never compiled
    into the library. The make-based CI lanes (clang-unittest,
    clang-unittest-asan) therefore failed to link the mysql unittests with
    "undefined reference to brpc::policy::mysql::*" for every codec symbol.
    CMake (file(GLOB_RECURSE src/brpc/*.cpp)) and Bazel already pick the
    directory up, which is why only the make lanes broke once the mysql tests
    were wired into that lane.
    
    Add src/brpc/policy/mysql to BRPC_DIRS so the codec sources land in
    libbrpc.

    * test(mysql): move auth unittests from mysql/ subdir into test/
    
    Move the three clean-room auth unittests (handshake, packet, scramble)
    and their test-plan doc out of test/mysql/ into test/, per review on
    apache/brpc#3310. The existing brpc_*_unittest glob in the Makefile,
    CMakeLists.txt and BUILD.bazel now picks them up, so all three build
    scripts revert to master with no mysql-specific additions.
    
    Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <[email protected]>
    
    * test(mysql): drop run_tests.sh mysql/ subdir entry after move
    
    The auth unittests now live in test/ and match the existing
    brpc*unittest glob in run_tests.sh, so revert the script to master. The
    removed mysql/brpc*unittest entry needed `shopt -s nullglob` to skip a
    missing subdir, but CI runs the script under `sh` (dash), where shopt is
    absent; nullglob stayed off and the now-empty glob was executed as a
    literal path, exiting 127.

+# MySQL auth handshake — end-to-end test plan
+
+The server integration tests in `brpc_mysql_auth_handshake_unittest.cpp`
+(`MysqlHandshakeServerTest.*`) run in one of two modes, selected by the
+`-mysql_use_running_server` gflag.
+
+There are four server tests:
+
+| Test | What it checks |
+|---|---|
+| `ParsesRealServerGreeting` | HandshakeV10 parse of a real greeting |
+| `GeneratesScramblesFromRealSalt` | scramble from a real salt, parameterized 
on password length (zero → empty response; non-zero → 20B native / 32B 
caching_sha2) |
+| `PerformsFullAuthentication` | uncached login takes the **full-auth** path; 
asserts the response carries `AuthMoreData 0x04` (perform_full_authentication) 
and the RSA exchange yields `OK` |
+| `CachesCredentialOnSecondLogin` | logs in twice; the **second** login must 
reuse the cache (fast-auth), never `0x04` |
+
+## Mode 1 — self-spawned server (default; CI)
+
+When `-mysql_use_running_server` is **not** set, the fixture brings up its
+own throwaway `mysqld` (the `which`-then-spawn pattern from
+`brpc_redis_unittest.cpp`) with an empty-password root, and tears it down
+on exit. `caching_sha2_password` then completes via its empty-password
+fast path. `PerformsFullAuthentication` skips here (an empty password
+never triggers full auth); the other three run. Tests self-skip entirely
+when `mysqld` is absent.
+
+```sh
+cd test && ./brpc_mysql_auth_handshake_unittest
+```
+
+## Mode 2 — already-running server (recommended for development & future CLs)
+
+You start a `mysqld` yourself, with verbose logging so you can watch the
+handshake, and point the tests at it with flags. The test neither starts
+nor stops it. Reuse this workflow as more of the MySQL protocol lands
+(text protocol, prepared statements, transactions).
+
+### 1. Initialize a data directory (one time per fresh instance)
+
+```sh
+export MYSQL_DATA=/tmp/brpc_mysql_e2e
+export MYSQL_PORT=13306
+rm -rf "$MYSQL_DATA" && mkdir -p "$MYSQL_DATA"
+mysqld --initialize-insecure --datadir="$MYSQL_DATA" 
--log-error="$MYSQL_DATA/init.err"
+```
+
+### 2. Start the server in your terminal (verbose, foreground)
+
+```sh
+mysqld --datadir="$MYSQL_DATA" --port="$MYSQL_PORT" \
+       --socket="$MYSQL_DATA/mysqld.sock" --bind-address=127.0.0.1 \
+       --mysqlx=OFF --log-error-verbosity=3 \
+       --general-log=1 --general-log-file="$MYSQL_DATA/general.log"
+```
+
+### 3. Create the `root` / `root` account reachable over TCP
+
+```sh
+mysql --socket="$MYSQL_DATA/mysqld.sock" -u root <<'SQL'
+ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH caching_sha2_password BY 'root';
+CREATE USER IF NOT EXISTS 'root'@'%' IDENTIFIED WITH caching_sha2_password BY 
'root';
+GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'@'%' WITH GRANT OPTION;
+DELETE FROM mysql.user WHERE user='';
+FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
+SQL
+```
+
+### 4. Run the tests against that server
+
+```sh
+cd test && ./brpc_mysql_auth_handshake_unittest \
+    -mysql_use_running_server \
+    -mysql_host=127.0.0.1 -mysql_port=13306 \
+    -mysql_user=root -mysql_password=root
+```
+
+`PerformsFullAuthentication` requires a **cold** caching_sha2 cache — i.e.
+a credential that has not authenticated since the server started. It is
+the first authenticating test, so against a **freshly started** server it
+sees the full-auth path. If you re-run without restarting the server, the
+credential is already cached and that test will report fast-auth; restart
+the server (or use a never-authenticated account) to exercise full auth
+again.
+
+## Flags
+
+| Flag | Default | Meaning |
+|---|---|---|
+| `-mysql_use_running_server` | `false` | `true` → use an already-running 
server (no spawn/teardown); `false` → self-spawn |
+| `-mysql_host` | `127.0.0.1` | running-server host |
+| `-mysql_port` | `13306` | server TCP port (running server, and the port the 
spawned server binds) |
+| `-mysql_user` | `root` | login user |
+| `-mysql_password` | (empty) | login password |
