due to name_const substitution

Problem:
"In general, statements executed within a stored procedure
are written to the binary log using the same rules that
would apply were the statements to be executed in standalone
fashion. Some special care is taken when logging procedure
statements because statement execution within procedures
is not quite the same as in non-procedure context".

For example, each reference to a local variable in SP's
statements is replaced by NAME_CONST(var_name, var_value).
Queries like
"CREATE TABLE ... SELECT FUNC(local_var ..."
are logged as
"CREATE TABLE ... SELECT FUNC(NAME_CONST("local_var", var_value) ..."
that leads to differrent field names and
might result in "Incorrect column name" if var_value is long enough.

Fix: in 5.x we'll issue a warning in such a case.
In 6.0 we should get rid of NAME_CONST().

Note: this issue and change should be described in the documentation
("Binary Logging of Stored Programs").

suggestion of Davi. Clarified comments. Reverting
test-case which I find too brittle; proper test
case in 5.1+.

We allow security-contexts with NULL users (for
system-threads and for unauthenticated users).
If a non-SUPER-user tried to KILL such a thread,
we tried to compare the user-fields to see whether
they owned that thread. Comparing against NULL was
not a good idea.
      
If KILLer does not have SUPER-privilege, we
specifically check whether both KILLer and KILLee
have a non-NULL user before testing for string-
equality. If either is NULL, we reject the KILL.

When do 'insert delayed' operation, the time_zone info doesn't be keeped in the row info.
So when we do insert sometime later, time_zone didn't write into binlog.
This will cause wrong result for timestamp column in slave.

Our solution is that adding time_zone info with the delayed-row and
restoring time_zone from row-info when execute that row in the furture by another thread.
So we can write correct time_zone info into binlog and got correct result in slave.

   Details for Bug#43015 main.lock_multi: Weak code (sleeps etc.)
   -------------------------------------------------------------
   - The fix for bug 42003 already removed a lot of the weaknesses mentioned.
   - Tests showed that there are unfortunately no improvements of this tests
     in MySQL 5.1 which could be ported back to 5.0.
   - Remove a superfluous "--sleep 1" around line 195

When asking what database is selected, client expected
to *always* get an answer from the server.

We now handle failure more gracefully.

See comments in ticket for a discussion of what happens,
and how things interlock.


client/mysql.cc:
  Handle empty result-sets gracefully, as opposed
  to just result sets with n>0 items that may themselves
  be empty.

Don't compare string literals as it results in unspecified behavior.

   "my_global.h"

Unknown timezone specifications are properly rejected
by the server, but are copied into tz_storage before
rejection, and hence is retained until end of server 
life. With sufficiently large bogus timezone specs, 
it is easy to exhaust system memory.
      
Allocation of memory for a copy of the timezone
name is delayed until after verification of validity,
at the cost of a memcpy of the timezone info. This 
only happens once, future lookups will hit the cached
structure.

for bug #41486. Session max_allowed_packet is read-only
as of MySQL 5.1.31. In addition, the global variable
now has no effect on the current session.

When loading dump created by mysqldump tool an error is
thrown saying storage engine for the table doesn't have 
an option.
                        
mysqldump tries to re-insert the data into the federated
table which causes the error. Since the data is already
available on the remote server, mysqldump shouldn't try
to dump the data again for FEDERATED tables.
                        
As stated in the bug page, it can be considered similar
to the MERGE ENGINE with "view only" nature.
                        
Fixed by adding the "FEDERATED ENGINE" to the exception
list to ignore the data.

  Fixed check_if_ignore_table() to ignore FEDERATED engine
  when dumping the table data.

When the input string exceeds the maximum allowed size for the 
internal buffer, batch_readline() returns a truncated string. 
Since there was no way for a caller to determine whether the 
string was truncated or not, the command line client assumed 
batch_readline() to always return the whole input string and 
appended a newline character. This resulted in garbled data 
when importing dumps containing strings longer than the 
maximum input buffer size. 
  
Fixed by adding a flag to the batch_readline() interface to 
signal a truncated string to the caller. 
  
Other minor problems fixed during patch implementation: 
 
- The maximum allowed buffer size for batch_readline() was set 
up depending on the client's max_allowed_packet value. It does 
not actully make any sense, as those variables are not 
related. The input buffer size limit is now always set to 1 
MB. 
  
- fill_buffer() did not always set the EOF flag. 
 
- The input buffer could actually grow twice as the specified 
limit due to insufficient checks in intern_read_line(). 

client/my_readline.h:
  Changed the interface of batch_readline().
client/mysql.cc:
  Honor the truncated flag returned by batch_readline() and do  
  not append the newline character if it was set. Since we can't 
  change the interfaces for readline()/fgets() used in the  
  interactive mode, always assume the returned string was not  
  truncated. In addition, always set the batch_readline()  
  internal buffer to 1 MB, independently from the client's  
  max_allowed_packet.
client/readline.cc:
  Added the 'truncated' argument do batch_readline() to signal 
  truncated string to a caller. 
  Fixed fill_buffer() to set the EOF flag correctly. 
  Fixed checks in intern_read_line() to not allow the internal  
  buffer grow past the specified limit.
mysql-test/r/mysql.result:

THD::start_time has a dual meaning : it's either the time since the process
entered a given state or is the transaction time returned by e.g. NOW().
This causes problems, as sometimes THD::start_time may be set to a value
that is correct and needed when used as a base for NOW(), but these times
may be arbitrary (SET @@timestamp) or non-local (coming from the master 
through the replication feed).
If one such non-local time is set there's no way to return a correct value
for e.g. SHOW PROCESSLIST or SELECT ... FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PROCESSLIST.
Fixed by making the Time column in SHOW PROCESSLIST SIGNED LONG instead of 
UNSIGNED LONG and doing the correct conversions.
      
Note that no reliable test suite can be constructed, since it would require
knowing the local time and can't be achieved by the means of the current test
suite.
