concurrent SHOW CREATE

The problem was that a SHOW CREATE TABLE statement issued inside
a transaction did not release its metadata locks at the end of the
statement execution. This happened even if SHOW CREATE TABLE is an
information statement. 

The consequence was that SHOW CREATE TABLE was able to block other
connections from accessing the table (e.g. using ALTER TABLE).

This patch fixes the problem by explicitly releasing any metadata
locks taken by SHOW CREATE TABLE after the statement completes.

Test case added to show_check.test.

The problem was that a statement could cause an assert if it was aborted by
KILL QUERY while it waited on a metadata lock. This assert checks that a
statement either sends OK or an error to the client. If the bug was triggered
on release builds, it caused OK to be sent to the client instead of
ER_QUERY_INTERRUPTED.

The root cause of the problem was that there are two separate ways to tell if a
statement is killed: thd->killed and mysys_var->abort. KILL QUERY causes both
to be set, thd->killed before mysys_var->abort. Also, both values are reset
at the end of statement execution. This means that it is possible for
KILL QUERY to first set thd->killed, then have the killed statement reset
both thd->killed and mysys_var->abort and finally have KILL QUERY set
mysys_var->abort. This means that the connection with the killed statement
will start executing the next statement with the two values out of sync - i.e.
thd->killed not set but mysys_var->abort set.

Since mysys_var->abort is used to check if a wait for a metadata lock should
be aborted, the next statement would immediately abort any such waiting.
When waiting is aborted, no OK message is sent and thd->killed is checked to
see if ER_QUERY_INTERRUPTED should be sent to the client. But since
the->killed had been reset, neither OK nor an error message was sent to the
client. This then triggered the assert.

This patch fixes the problem by changing the metadata lock waiting code to
check thd->killed.

No test case added as reproducing the assert is dependent on very exact timing
of two (or more) threads. The patch has been checked using RQG and the grammar
posted on the bug report.

of the "embedded" server

Problem: mysqltest_embedded failed to load ha_innodb_plugin library
on some platforms (due to some unresolved references).

Fix: on FreeBSD use -export-dynamic flag building mysqltest_embedded.
That allows to use its global symbols to resolve references in the
dynamically loaded plugin library.


libmysqld/examples/Makefile.am:
  Fix for bug #50667: The InnoDB plugin prevents initialization
  of the "embedded" server
    - use -export-dynamic (on FreeBSD/DragonFly) building
  mysqltest_embedded to allow using its global symbols 
  to resolve references in the dynamically loaded plugin libraries.

This fix is for cleanup, to resolve a remaining code review item.
Backport from mysql-next-mr (5.6) to mysql-trunk (5.5).

Fixed minor merge issues with #includes

Post-merge fix: adjust line numbers in pfs_upgrade test case
result given that mysql_system_tables_fix.sql was modified.

mysql_config. Those are mainly warning options intended
to monitor the server code and shouldn't be leaked to
client code.

Silence bogus aliasing warning through a pointer indirection. Also,
no need to check the return of a placement new.

Restore hack necessary to setup a libmysqld archive.

Fix compiler warnings due to: a mismatch in the prototypes for
check_access and implicit conversions from double to ulonglong
and vice-versa.

mysys/my_getopt.c:
  Explicit conversion from ulonglong to double. Might need to
  be tweaked in the future.
sql/sql_parse.h:
  Make prototype equal to the case when not compiling under embedded.
sql/sys_vars.cc:
  Explicit conversion from ulonglong to double. Destination var
  is a ulonglong.
sql/sys_vars.h:
  Explicit conversion from ulonglong to double. Might need to
  be tweaked in the future.

Remove OS/2 specific code.

Remove QNX specific code.

Remove VMS specific code.
