Reason for the bug was an optimization for higher connect speed where we moved when global status was updated,
but forgot to update states when slave thread dies.
Fixed by adding thd->add_status_to_global() before deleting slave thread's thd.


mysys/my_delete.c:
  Added missing newline
sql/mysqld.cc:
  Use add_status_to_global()
sql/slave.cc:
  Added missing add_status_to_global()
sql/sql_class.cc:
  Use add_status_to_global()
sql/sql_class.h:
  Simplify adding local status to global by adding add_status_to_global()

Pre-MDL versions had direct relationship between LOCK_open and
LOCK_global_system_variables, e.g.:
  intern_sys_var_ptr // locks LOCK_global_system_variable
  mysql_sys_var_char
  create_options_are_valid
  ha_innobase::create
  handler::ha_create
  ha_create_table
  rea_create_table
  mysql_create_table_no_lock // locks LOCK_open
  mysql_create_table

With MDL this relationship was removed, but mutex order was still
recorded. In fact there is indirect relationship between LOCK_open
and LOCK_global_system_variables via rwlocks in reverse order.

Removed LOCK_open and LOCK_global_system_variables order recording,
instead assert that LOCK_open is never held in intern_sys_var_ptr().

This solves only one of many problems detected with MDEV-5089.

- There was List<N>::nth_element() but it didn't work because linker removed it. 
- Now, removal by linker is prevented for important values of T, and function is renamed. 

(This is attempt at fix #2) (re-commit with fixed typo)
- Moved the testcase from partition_test to partition_innodb.test where it can really work.
- Made ordered index scans over ha_partition tables to satisfy ROR property for 
  the case where underlying table uses extended keys.

Fixed MDEV-5724 "Server crashes on SQL select containing more group by and left join statements using innodb tables"
  
The problem was that a big record was allocated on the stack, which casued stack to run out.
  
Fixed by using my_safe_alloca() instead of my_alloca() when allocating records.
Now only records <= 16384 are allocated on the stack.

mysql-test/r/stack-crash.result:
  Added test case

  Added MARIA_MAX_RECORD_ON_STACK

Patch from Tomas Matejicek

Add missing error code to is_networ_error(), to allow slave to
automatically attempt reconnection also in this case.

- MariaDB-5.5 part of the fix: since we can't easily fix query optimization for I_S tables, 
  run the affected-tablespaces query with semijoin=off. It happens to have a good query plan
  with that setting.

   That error 'Can't open the pid file' leads to mysqld crash signal 11 in mysql_audit_general() called
   with the 'thd' parameter set to NULL. That wasn't checked when the thd->db and thd->db_length
   were accessed. Fixed by checking for the NULL thd.

file storage.

Analysis: posix_fallocate was called using 0 as offset and len as
desired size. This is not optimal for SSDs.

Fix: Call posix_fallocate with correct offset i.e. current file size
and extend the file from there len bytes.

on debug build when innodb_use_fallocate=1

Analysis: There was merge error that caused additional call to 
fil_node_complete_io.

Fixed by removing incorrect call and fixed calculation of extended
file size.

update_used_tables for the the where condition to update cached
indicators of constant subexpressions. It should be done before further
possible simplification of the where condition.

This change caused simplification of the executed where conditions 
in many test cases.

In ::position() federated needs to know an element before the
current ("data_cursor") in the single-linked list. Replace list
traversal for every ::position() call (which is O(n^2)) with remembering
the current element before it's advanced by mysql_fetch_row().

Use 20-year ssl certificates for mysql-test from RedHat patch

On fedora:
1. provide/obsoleve mariadb-* packages
2. MariaDB-common conflicts with mariadb-libs (on filesystem level),

An attempt to introduce libmysqlclient.so symbol versioning that is
compatible both with Debian and Fedora all versions: put all symbols into
libmysqlclient_18 version node (as on Debian), but also put aliases of
old symbols into libmysqlclient_16 version node (as on Fedora).

Also use a linker script to create aliases of exported symbols, not
rpm_support.cc source file.

MDEV-4556 Server crashes in SEL_ARG::rb_insert with index_merge+index_merge_sort_union, FORCE INDEX
- merge_same_index_scans() may put the same SEL_ARG tree in multiple result plans.
  make it call incr_refs() on the SEL_ARG trees that it does key_or() on, because 
  key_or(sel_arg_tree_1, sel_arg_tree_2) call may invalidate SEL_ARG trees pointed 
  by sel_arg_tree_1 and sel_arg_tree_2.

- Item_direct_view_ref didn't clear its pointer to item_equal in ::cleanup.
- Some Item_direct_view_ref objects have statement lifetime (i.e. they
  survive across multiple EXECUTE commands). Item_equal objects live only for
  the duration of one EXECUTE. This caused Item_direct_view_ref to have a stale pointer,
  which could cause all sorts of effects. (In this bug's testcase it was pointing to
  the wrong Item_equal, causing wrong query result)
- Fixed by doing what Item_field::cleanup() does - don't keep item_equal pointer value.
- There is no testcase because the only testcase I've got is highly fragile (e.g. the
  bug will not show up if @@datadir is of the wrong length).

Fixed so the MYSQL_TYPE_GEOMETRY is treated as BLOB.

The result is EMPTY for a buffer(line, -1), but we still
need one FALSE operation to be stored in the condition.
And we actually add it but forgot to alloc memory to store it.

Wait until the server starts accepting connections, not until the pid file appears

daemon plugin: join the thread to make sure it exits before the plugin is unloaded

It helps to interpret valgrind/safemalloc memory-related warnings that are
printed when a plugin is unloaded (and thus cannot resolve addresses automatically)
