The problem was in the validation of the input data for blob types.
When assigned binary data, the character blob types were only checking if 
the length of these data is a multiple of the minimum char length for the 
destination charset. 
And since e.g. UTF-8's minimum character length is 1 (becuase it's 
variable length) even byte sequences that are invalid utf-8 strings (e.g. 
wrong leading byte etc) were copied verbatim into utf-8 columns when
coming from binary strings or fields.
Storing invalid data into string columns was having all kinds of ill effects 
on code that assumed that the encoding data are valid to begin with.

Fixed by additionally checking the incoming binary string for validity when 
assigning it to a non-binary string column.
Made sure the conversions to charsets with no known "invalid" ranges 
are not covered by the extra check.
Removed trailing spaces.

Test case added.

Bug #18065452 "PREPARING" STATE HOGS CPU WITH ARCHIVE
               + SUBQUERY

Analysis: This happens because the server is trapped inside
an infinite loop in the function,
"subselect_indexsubquery_engine::exec()". This function
resolves the correlated suquery by doing an index lookup
for the appropriate engine. In  case of archive engine,
after reaching the end of records, "table->status" is not
set to STATUS_NOT_FOUND. As a result the loop is not 
terminated.

Fix: The "table->status" is set to STATUS_NOT_FOUND when
the end of records is reached.

		THE PERFORMANCE UNDER HEAVY INSERT
	Fixing the build problem in 5.5.

		THE PERFORMANCE UNDER HEAVY INSERT
Problem:
	There are three memset call to allocate memory for system fields
in each insert.

Solution:
	Instead of calling it in 3 times, we can combine it into
one memset call. It will reduce the CPU usage under heavy insert.

               LOCAL AND IMPORT ERRORS

Description:
-----------
This bug happens due to the fact that current algorithm is designed
that in the case of LOCAL load of data, in case of the error, the
remaining part of the file is read in order to return the proper
error message to the client side.

But, the problem with current implementation is that data stream
for the client side is cleared only in the case where line delimiters
exist, which is not a case with, for example fixed width
fields.

Fix:
----
Ported patch provided by Sinisa Milivojevic n bug report for this
issue to 5.5+ versions.

As part of this patch code is changed to clear the data stream
by calling new member function "READ_INFO::skip_data_till_eof".

Before this fix, specially crafted queries
using the INFORMATION_SCHEMA could crash the server.

The root cause was a buffer overflow,
see the (private) bug comments for details.

With this fix, the buffer overflow condition is properly handled,
and the queries involved do return the expected result.

                  FAILING ASSERTION: FLEN == LEN

Problem:
       Broken invariant triggered when building a unique index on a
binary column and the input data contains duplicate keys. This was broken
in debug builds only.

Fix:
       Fixed length of the binary datatype can be greater than length of
the shorter prefix on which index is being created.

Problem: While printing the Server version, mysql client
         doesn't check for the buffer overflow in a
         String variable.

Solution: Used a different print function which checks the
          allocated length before writing into the string.

	       ACCEPTED BUT PARSED INCORRECTLY

When we are setting the value in a system variable, 
We can set it like 

set sys_var="Iden1.Iden2";		//1
set sys_var='Iden1.Iden2';		//2
set sys_var=Iden1.Iden2;		//3
set sys_var=.ident1.ident2; 		//4
set sys_var=`Iden1.Iden2`;		//5


While parsing, for case 1(when ANSI_QUOTES is enable) and 2,
we will take as string literal(we will make item of type Item_string).
for case 3 & 4, taken as Item_field, where Iden1 is a table name and
iden2 is a field name.
for case 5, again Item_field type, where iden1.iden2 is taken as
field name.


Now in case 1, when we are assigning some value to system variable
(which can take string or enumerate type data), we are setting only 
field part.
This means only iden2 value will be set for system variable. This 
result in wrong result.

Solution:

(for string type) We need to Document that we are not allowed to set 
system variable which takes string as identifier, otherwise result 
in unexpected behaviour.

(for enumerate type)
if we pass iden1.iden2, we will give an error ER_WRONG_TYPE_FOR_VAR
(Incorrect argument type to variable).

Problem:

In the clustered index, when an update operation is done the overall
scenario (after rb#4479) is as follows:

1.  Delete mark the old record that is to be updated.
2.  The old record disowns the blobs.
3.  Insert the new record into clustered index.
4.  For non-updated blobs, new record must own it. Verified by assert.
5.  For non-updated blobs, in new record marked as inherited.

Scenario involving DB_LOCK_WAIT:

If step 3 times out, then we will skip 1 and 2 and will continue from
step 3.  This skipping is achieved by the UPD_NODE_INSERT_BLOB state.
In this case, step 4 is not correct.  Because of step 1, the new
record need not own the blobs.  Hence the assert failure.

Solution:

The assert in step 4 is removed.  Instead code is added to ensure that
the record owns the blob.  

Note:

This is a regression caused by rb#4479.

Problem:
=======
When auto_increment_increment system variable decreases,
immediate next value of auto increment column is not affected.

Solution:
========
	Get the previous inserted value of auto increment column by
subtracting the previous auto_increment_increment from next
auto increment value. After that calculate the current autoinc value
using newly changed auto_increment_increment variable.

Problem:
It was reported that on Debian and KFreeBSD platforms, i386 architecture 
machines certain SSL tests are failing. main.ssl_connect  rpl.rpl_heartbeat_ssl
rpl.rpl_ssl1 rpl.rpl_ssl main.ssl_cipher, main.func_encrypt were the tests that
 were reportedly failing (crashing). The reason for the crashes are said to be
due to the assembly code of yaSSL.

Solution:
There was initially a workaround suggested i.e., to enable 
-DTAOCRYPT_DISABLE_X86ASM flag which would prevent the crash, but at an expense
 of 4X reduction of speed. Since this was unacceptable, the fix was the 
functions using assembly, now input variables from the function call using 
extended inline assembly on GCC instead of relying on direct assembly code.

               CONFIG FILES CAUSES TEST

Utility as "mysql_upgrade" forks "mysql"/"mysqlcheck". Attaching
"mysql_upgrade" shows following calls after forking "mysql" or
"mysql_check" when configuration file information is passed as
first argument to "mysql_upgrade".

strace -f ./mysql_upgrade --defaults-file=../pdb/my.cnf --socket=../pdb/mysql.sock -f

[pid  6254] stat("/etc/my.cnf", 0x7fff8e772680) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
[pid  6254] stat("/etc/mysql/my.cnf", 0x7fff8e772680) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
[pid  6254] stat("/usr/local/mysql/etc/my.cnf", 0x7fff8e772680) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
[pid  6254] stat("/home/user_name/.my.cnf", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0664, st_size=19, ...}) = 0
[pid  6254] open("/home/user_name/.my.cnf", O_RDONLY) = 3


But when tool forks "mysqlcheck"/"mysql", "--no-defaults" is passed
as first argument. Before forking, in function "find_tool" of
"mysql_upgrade", check is made to verify whether tool can be
executable or not by calling "mysqlcheck --help" and "mysql --help".
But argument "--no-defaults", "--defaults-file" or
"defaults-extra-file" is not passed to "mysql" and "mysqlcheck".
So my.cnf is searched in default paths.

Fix:
------
Modified code to pass "--no-defaults" as first argument to "mysql"
and "mysqlcheck" while checking tool can be executed or not.

  Performance schema tables are local to a server and they should not
  be allowed to be executed by the slave from the relay log.
  From 5.6.10, P_S events are not written into the binary log.
  But prior to that, from mysql 5.5 onwards, P_S events are written 
  to the binary log by master.
  The following are problematic scenarios:
      
  1. Master 5.5 -> Slave 5.5
     ========================
    A) RBR: Slave crashes
    B) SBR: P_S statements are replicated.
      
  2.Master 5.5 -> Slave 5.6
    ========================
    A) RBR: SQL thd generates error
    B) SBR : P_S statements are replicated
      
  3. 5.5 binlog executed on a server 5.5 using mysqlbinlog|mysql
     =================================================================
     A) RBR: Server crash  (because of BINLOG'... statement)
     B) SBR: P_S statements are executed
      
  4. 5.5 binlog executed on server 5.6 using mysqlbinlog|mysql
     ================================================================
     A) RBR: SQL error (because of BINLOG'... statement)
     B) SBR: P_S statements are executed.
      
      
    The generalized behaviour should be:
    a) Slave SQL thread should certainly ignore P_S events read from
       the relay log.
    b) mysqlbinlog|mysql should replay the binlog succesfully.
      

Problem:

The function row_upd_changes_ord_field_binary() is used to decide whether to
use row_upd_clust_rec_by_insert() or row_upd_clust_rec().  The function
row_upd_changes_ord_field_binary() does not make use of charset information.
Based on binary comparison it decides that r1 and r2 differ in their ordering
fields.

In the function row_upd_clust_rec_by_insert(), an update is done by delete +
insert.  These operations internally make use of cmp_dtuple_rec_with_match()
to compare records r1 and r2.  This comparison takes place with the use of
charset information.

This means that it is possible for the deleted record to be reused in the
subsequent insert.  In the given scenario, the characters 'a' and 'A' are
considered equal in the my_charset_latin1.  When this happens, the ownership
information of externally stored blobs are not correctly handled.

Solution:

When an update is done by delete followed by insert, disown the relevant
externally stored fields during the delete marking itself (within the same
mtr).  If the insert succeeds, then nothing with respect to blob ownership
needs to be done.  If the insert fails, then the disown done earlier will be
removed when the operation is rolled back.

The maximum value for innodb_thread_sleep_delay is 4294967295 (32-bit) or
18446744073709551615 (64-bit) microseconds. This is way too big, since
the max value of innodb_thread_sleep_delay is limited by
innodb_adaptive_max_sleep_delay if that value is set to non-zero value
(its default is 150,000).

Solution
The maximum value of innodb_thread_sleep_delay should be the same as
the maximum value of innodb_adaptive_max_sleep_delay, which is 1000000.
