and cryptic error 1126 message

The problem was that dlopen() related code was using just a subset 
of the path normalization routines used in other places.
Fixed the expansion of the pre-dlopen() behavior for plugins and UDFs
to use a platform-dependent consistent encoding of the paths.
Fixed the error dlopen() error handling to take the correct error message
and strip off the trailing newline character(s).
Fixed tests to do a platform independent replace of directories and to 
account for the traling slash.

Automerged against latest mysql-5.5.

  
When passing an empty user to the connect function will cause
valgrind warnings. Seems that the client code is not prepared 
to handle empty users. On 5.6 this can even be triggered by 
START SLAVE PASSWORD='...'; i.e., without setting USER='...' on
the START SLAVE command (see WL#4143 for details on the new
additional START SLAVE commands).
  
To fix this, we disallow empty users when configuring the slave
connection parameters (this decision might be revisited if the 
client code accepts empty users in the future).

                      AND HANG IN SHOW TABLE STATUS.

ISSUE: Table corruption due to concurrent queries.
       Different threads running insert and check
       query leads to table corruption. Not properly locked,
       rows are inserted in between check query.

SOLUTION: In check query mutex lock is acquired
          for a longer time to handle concurrent
          insert and check query.

NOTE: Additionally we backported the fix for CHECKSUM
      issue(bug#11758979).

innodb_change_buffering_debug prevents creating the Dup Key scenario on
windows

sporadically on 5.1. See Bug#12584161.

Test runs successfully on 5.5/trunk, so this changeset will
be null-merged.

Fix merge issues after discussing with Marko.

Remove btr_cur_t::ibuf_cnt. The only dependence on cursor->ibuf_cnt
was ibuf_set_entry_counter(). That code path was removed in the
original bug fix (marko.makela@oracle.com-20111107072802-dgwagejlpub0rjkd).

A patch for alter_table-big.test has been committed earlier.
This is a patch for create-big.test:
The test used to time-out after 900 seconds. 
It relied on debug sleeps that are no longer present in the 
code. Since the sleeps are long gone, fixing the problem didn't 
involve just updating the result file or using macro 
"show_binlog_events2.inc" instead of "show binlog events" 
statement. The test needed to be rewritten using debug sync 
points, and result then needed to be updated.
So, the sleeps have been replaced by debug_sync points and the test execution time has 
been reduced significantly.

  Disable federated_plugin test for embedded, like other federated tests
  Also removed redundant include/not_embedded.inc from federated.test

Setting query_cache_size to larger values might fail depending on the memory 
pressure being put on the system. This can be seen on pushbuild as the test 
case query_cache_size_basic tries to allocate a +3GB query cache, which 
succeeds in some machines and fails in others.

So this part of the code where the test case tries to allocate +3GB query cache has been 
disabled for now to get the test running on pb2.

The title is misleading. This bug was actually introduced by
bug 12635227 and was unearthed by a later optimization.
We need to free buf_page_t structs that we are allocating using
malloc() at shutdown.

I manually checked that all the conflicting InnoDB changes are in 5.5 already.
Two things I am not sure about - I commented them with XXX in this patch.
I will further check with the authors of the changesets whether these things
should be present or not.

Problem was that built-in client-side support for Windows Native Authentication (WNA) was included only in the client library, but not into the server code (which also uses some of the sources from the client library).

This is fixed by modyfying sql/CMakeLists.txt to include the client-side WNA plugin library and enable WNA related code by defining AUTHENTICATION_WIN macro.

Also, the logic of libmysql/CMakeLists.txt is simplified a bit.

Follow-up patch to fix valgrind warnings.

BY CACHING OR REDUCING CREATEEVENT CALLS".
 
5.5 versions of MySQL server performed worse than 5.1 versions 
under single-connection workload in autocommit mode on Windows XP.
 
Part of this slowdown can be attributed to overhead associated
with constant creation/destruction of MDL_lock objects in the MDL
subsystem. The problem is that creation/destruction of these
objects causes creation and destruction of associated
synchronization primitives, which are expensive on Windows XP.
 
This patch tries to alleviate this problem by introducing a cache
of unused MDL_object_lock objects. Instead of destroying such
objects we put them into the cache and then reuse with a new
key when creation of a new object is requested.

To limit the size of this cache, a new --metadata-locks-cache-size
start-up parameter was introduced.

Follow up to fix freebsd compile issue.

                    OPTION SKIP-WRITE-BINLOG

System tables were not getting upgraded when
mysql_upgrade was run with --skip-write-binlog
option. (Same for --write-binlog.) Also, with
this option, mysql_upgrade_info file was not
getting created after the upgrade.

mysql_upgrade makes use of mysql client tool in
order to run upgrade scripts, while doing so it
passes some of the command line options (used to
start mysql_upgrade) directly to mysql client.
The reason behind this bug being, some options
like skip-write-binlog and upgrade-system-tables
were being passed to mysql tool along with other
options, and hence mysql execution failed due
presence of these invalid options.

Fixed this issue by filtering out the above mentioned
options from the list of options that will be passed to
mysql and mysqlcheck tools. However, since --write-binlog
is supported by mysqlcheck, this option would be used
explicitly while running mysqlcheck. (not part of patch,
already there)

Checking the contents of general log after the upgrade
is not doable via an mtr test. So performed manual test.
Added a test to verify the creation of mysql_upgrade_info.

my_double_round(DBL_MAX, -12, ....)
should return 'inf' rather than DBL_MAX

The problem is that floor(value/tmp) * tmp
is inlined, and optimized away.

The solution seems to be to prevent inlining by pre-computing value/tmp and
storing it in a variable.

No new test case: main.type_float fails without this patch.

This patch corrects a defect whereby the --mysqld, --my-print-defaults, 
and --plugin-ini were required. These options are not required and the
code has been fixed accordingly.

              SCAN/CPU) => SLAVE FAILURE

When a statement containing a large amount of ROWs to be applied on
the slave, and the slave's table does not contain a PK, it can take a
considerable amount of time to find and change all the rows that are
to be changed.

The proper slave enhancement will be implemented in WL 5597. However,
in this bug we are making it clear to the user what the problem is, by
printing a message to the error log if the execution time, for a given
statement in RBR, takes more than LONG_FIND_ROW_THRESHOLD (set to 60
seconds). This shall help the DBA to diagnose what's happening when
facing a slave server that is quiet for no apparent reason...

The note is only printed to the error log if log_warnings is set to be
greater than 1.

A change has been made in the sql/sql_table.cc file to include debug_sync.

The bug was accidentally fixed by fixing
Bug#11759688 52020: InnoDB can still deadlock on just INSERT...ON DUPLICATE KEY
a.k.a. the reintroduction of
Bug#7975 deadlock without any locking, simple select and update

Added a trottling mechanism to mysqld_safe.
On every 5 sub-second restarts it will wait for a second before attempting again.
Note that this requires 'sleep' and 'date' command line utilities.
The code would adjust and will do nothing if any of them is not present.
