- Use native memcmp() supplied with C runtime instead of hand-unrolled loop ptr_compare_N loop
Prior to fix  ptr_compare_0()  has  3.7% samples in OLTP-RO in-memory. 
Fix brings this down to 1.8% (all memcmp samples)

- Innodb : fix UT_RELAX_CPU to  be defined  as YieldProcessor, as  was also originally intended 
(but intention was lost in the #ifdef maze

This reduces number of ut_delay() samples in profile from 1.5% to 0.5%

Improve filesort performance for small sorts: Don't write pointers to records that we will never use.

        modified for MySQL 5.5. Logger service moved to the
        plugin/sql_errlog directory to be properly used later.

plugin/sql_errlog/sql_errlog.c:
  Fixes for bugs #956427 (SQL_ERROR_LOG plugin produces bogus warnings about sql-error-log-size-limit value) and #956463 (Server crashes if SQL_ERROR_LOG fails to initialize) they're also MDEV-184 and MDEV-183
    
  The sql_error_log_deinit() should be prepared for the logger_file to be NULL.
  The logger_file_size_limit upper limit wasn't properly set.

it makes "./mtr --debug" unusable

revert the mysql fix for bug#46165.
implement shared FILE's with reference counting

suppress these harmless but confusing warnings.
fix the program name (MY_INIT) in mysqldump

client/mysqldump.c:
  for backward compatibility, prefix mysqldump error messages with "mysqldump", not with the full path of the executable

If the first component of a ref key happened to be a constant appeared
after constant row substitution then no store_key element should be
created for such a component. Yet create_ref_for_key() erroneously could
create such an element that caused construction of invalid ref keys and
wrong results for some joins.

Do not use Valgrind client requests in a normal release build, they have a small but noticable performance impact.

lp:933959 Assertion `0' failed in net_end_statement(THD*) on concurrent SELECT FROM I_S.INNODB_SYS_INDEXES and ALTER TABLE

Workaround: report a generic error if an I_S plugin failed silently.

mark the corresponding I_S table as OPTIMIZE_I_S_TABLE, to let the I_S optimizer
figure out whether files need to be opened, and don't open the tables unless
I_S optimizer says so.

This bug in the constructor SEL_IMERGE::SEL_IMERGE could 
cause huge excessive memory requests.

Make the slave options --replicate-* dynamic variables so that these
options can be changed dynamically while the server is running,
which enables users to modify replication filtering rules without
having to stop and restart the server.

This is accomplished by just requiring that the slave threads are
stopped when these options are set dynamically. Since filtering
rules are only used by the SQL slave thread, setting them while the
thread is not running avoids the need for locking.

Fix race condition in rpl_stop_start_slave. after kill connection, wait until it is gone in processlist

 - Avoid needless load/stores in my_hash_sort_simple due to possible aliasing
 - Avoid expensive Join_plan_state constructor in choose_subquery_plan when no subquery
 - Avoid calling update_virtual_fields for every row when no virtual fields.

- Take into account that there may exist Item_field objects with context==NULL.

BUG#952372: Server crashes on 2nd execution of PS in find_field_in_tables with semijoin+materialization
- The problem was that convert_subq_to_jtbm() attached the semi-join
  TABLE_LIST object into the wrong list: they used to attach it to the 
  end of parent_lex->leaf_tables.head()->next_local->...->next_local.
  This was apparently inccorect, as one can construct an example where 
  JTBM nest is attached to a table that is inside some mergeable VIEW, which
  breaks (causes crash) for name resolution on the subsequent statement
  re-execution.
- Solution: Attach to the "right" list. The "wording" was copied from
  st_select_lex::handle_derived.

- Mark test components, plugins etc with COMPONENT Test, to get them excluded from the MSI
- Only include debug symbols for client and embedded libs and also
  mysqld.exe and server plugins (so we can still can get a callstack in case of crash)

The rest (all *.pdbs, test components, MTR) can be obtained from the big ZIP distribution, if required.

- do not attempt loading federatedx dynamically - does not work on Windows embedded
- race condition in rpl_start_stop_slave
- fix exclusion rule to catch warning in partition test
