The problem was introduced in 5.5.20 by Bug 13116225.  It tried to
protect against downgrading from a version 5.6.4 database that was
created with a page size other than 16k.  Version 5.6.4 supports
page sizes 4k and 8k and stamps that page size into the header page
of each tablespace file.  Version 5.5.20 attempts to read that page
size in the file header.

But it turns out that only the first system tablespace file has a
reliable flags field in the header. So only ibdata1 can be or needs
to be tested for another page size. Extra system tablespace files
like ibdata2, ibdata3, etc do not and should not be tested since the
flags field is unreliable.

During FIC error handling the trx->error_state was not being set to DB_SUCCESS
after failure, before attempting the next DDL SQL operation. This reset to
DB_SUCCESS is somewhat of a requirement though not explicitly stated anywhere.
The fix is to reset it to DB_SUCCESS in row0merge.cc if row_merge_rename_indexes
or row_merge_drop_index functions fail, also reset to DB_SUCCESS at trx commit.

Problem: Statements that write to tables with auto_increment columns
         based on the selection from another table, may lead to master
         and slave going out of sync, as the order in which the rows
         are retrieved from the table may differ on master and slave.
            
Solution: We mark writing to a table with auto_increment table
          based on the rows selected from another table as unsafe. This
          will cause the execution of such statements to throw a warning
          and forces the statement to be logged in ROW if the logging
          format is mixed. 
            
Changes:
       1. All the statements that writes to a table with auto_increment 
          column(s) based on the rows fetched from another table, will now
          be unsafe.
       2. CREATE TABLE with SELECT will now be unsafe.

The actual Bug#11754376 does not exist in MySQL 5.5 because at startup
we drop entries for temporary tables from InnoDB dictionary cache (only
if ROW_FORMAT is not REDUNDANT). But nevertheless the bug in
normalize_table_name_low() is present so we fix it.

GRACEFUL SHUTDOWN

During startup mysql picks up .frm files from the tmpdir directory and
tries to drop those tables in the storage engine.

The problem is that when tmpdir ends in / then ha_innobase::delete_table()
is passed a string like "/var/tmp//#sql123", then it wrongly normalizes it
to "/#sql123" and calls row_drop_table_for_mysql() which of course fails
to delete the table entry from the InnoDB dictionary cache.
ha_innobase::delete_table() returns an error but nevertheless mysql wipes
away the .frm file and the entry in the InnoDB dictionary cache remains
orphaned with no easy way to remove it.

The "no easy" way to remove it is to create a similar temporary table again,
copy its .frm file to tmpdir under "#sql123.frm" and restart mysqld with
tmpdir=/var/tmp (no trailing slash) - this way mysql will pick the .frm file
after restart and will try to issue drop table for "/var/tmp/#sql123"
(notice do double slash), ha_innobase::delete_table() will normalize it to
"tmp/#sql123" and row_drop_table_for_mysql() will successfully remove the
table entry from the dictionary cache.

The solution is to fix normalize_table_name_low() to normalize things like
"/var/tmp//table" correctly to "tmp/table".

This patch also adds a test function which invokes
normalize_table_name_low() with various inputs to make sure it works
correctly and a mtr test that calls this test function.
