on REPAIR don't do table-specific stuff for views
(because even if the view has a temp table opened for it,
it's not opened all the way down the engine. In particular,
Aria crashes in maria_status() because MARIA_HA* info - that is
table->table->file->file - is NULL)

The following FLUSH commands are now executed under total
order isolation:
* FLUSH DES_KEY_FILE
* FLUSH HOSTS
* FLUSH PRIVILEGES
* FLUSH QUERY CACHE
* FLUSH STATUS
* FLUSH USER_RESOURCES

sql/sql_parse.cc: In function 'bool do_command(THD*)':

sql/sql_parse.cc:758:20: error: 'packet_length' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

   if ((WSREP(thd)  && packet_length == packet_error) ||

Refs #25 - made sure signals that may be set to ignored in mysqld were set to default in the child process.

 * improves MySQL client version check making it no less than required as opposed to exactly as required.
 * adds event table copying to ensure same results as with rsync SST.

Going more MTR-friendly - for SST prefer to use mysql client, mysqldump and my_print_defaults from the local build tree.

Merge fix to xtradb.

MDEV-7987 Fatal error: Please read "Security" section of the manual to find out how to run mysqld as root!

update the error message to refer to the knowledge base
that (now) has an article about this use case

        Fixed by using POINT instead of ST_POINT in the item.
        Later need to fix that with proper ST_POINT implementation

Fixed by reverting incorrect fix of MDEC-7055 (reopened) and removing the
test case (because it now crashes).

Fixed overflow error that caused fewer bites to be allocated than
necessary on Windows 64 bit. This is due to ulong being 32 bit on
64 bit Windows and 64 bit on 64 bit Linux.

on disconnect THD must clean user_var_events array before
dropping temporary tables. Otherwise when binlogging a DROP,
it'll access user_var_events, but they were allocated
in the already freed memroot.

take into account that argc can be 0
(if there were no commands on the command line)

Don't use a fixed buffer for X509_NAME_oneline() in the client.
Do as the server does - allocate it dynamically.

For a test - regenerate certificates to have the server cert with
a long subject.

MDEV-7585 Assertion `thd->is_error() || kill_errno || thd->killed == ABORT_QUERY' failed in ha_rows filesort

if we clear the error status (in THD::clear_error())
make sure to clear the thd->killed == KILL_BAD_DATA too,
because it was caused by the error that we're clearing.

Remove the too restrictive bugfix for bug#67088.
FIFO can be used for general/slow logs, but lseek() and fsync() on
FIFO fail. And open() needs to be non-blocking, in case the other
end isn't reading.

because current_thd is NULL and ER() causes sigsegv

The double call of ref used tables fixed.
