    Description

      We have several aliases among system variables (when the same variable has more than one name), for backward compatibility or external compatibility purposes.

      When such a variable is set at runtime via one name, the value is naturally updated for both, but the source of the value isn't:

      set @val= @@global.default_storage_engine;
       
      select variable_name, global_value, global_value_origin from information_schema.system_variables where variable_name in ('storage_engine','default_storage_engine');
      set global storage_engine= Aria;
      select variable_name, global_value, global_value_origin from information_schema.system_variables where variable_name in ('storage_engine','default_storage_engine');
       
      # Cleanup
      set global default_storage_engine= @val;
      

      10.4 87a5d16911bb94d383480fdd49e20876ed1400f2

      set global storage_engine= Aria;
      select variable_name, global_value, global_value_origin from information_schema.system_variables where variable_name in ('storage_engine','default_storage_engine');
      variable_name	global_value	global_value_origin
      DEFAULT_STORAGE_ENGINE	Aria	COMPILE-TIME
      STORAGE_ENGINE	Aria	SQL
      

      In the output above, for both variables global_value_origin should now be SQL, but it's only set for the variable which was actually used in the statement.
