    Description

      I am not setting it to critical 10.10v1 to avoid it blocking the release, but it would be good to look into this. Not only does it cause an untidy output with a long list of duplicate warnings, but also my concern is that it may indicate some redundancy in the way the function is executed.

      MariaDB [test]> select random_bytes(cast('x' as unsigned)+1);

      The CAST alone only produces one warning, as expected:

      MariaDB [test]> select cast('x' as unsigned);
      +-----------------------+
      | cast('x' as unsigned) |
      +-----------------------+
      |                     0 |
      +-----------------------+
      1 row in set, 1 warning (0.000 sec)
       
      MariaDB [test]> show warnings;
      +---------+------+----------------------------------------+
      | Level   | Code | Message                                |
      +---------+------+----------------------------------------+
      | Warning | 1292 | Truncated incorrect INTEGER value: 'x' |
      +---------+------+----------------------------------------+
      1 row in set (0.000 sec)
      

      If random_bytes is replaced by another function, no extra warnings are produced (although I didn't try all functions, so maybe random_bytes is not unique in this sense):

      MariaDB [test]> select ceil(cast('x' as unsigned)+1);
      +-------------------------------+
      | ceil(cast('x' as unsigned)+1) |
      +-------------------------------+
      |                             1 |
      +-------------------------------+
      1 row in set, 1 warning (0.000 sec)
       
      MariaDB [test]> show warnings;
      +---------+------+----------------------------------------+

      | Warning | 1292 | Truncated incorrect INTEGER value: 'x' |
