Extra fix: 'if (p5 < p5_a + P5A_MAX)' is not portable.
p5 starts out pointing to a static array, then may point
to a buffer on the stack, then may point to malloc()ed memory.

The problem occurred when indexes are added between the time that an
UNDO record is created and the time that the purge thread comes around
and deletes the old secondary index entries.  The purge thread would
hit an assert when trying to build a secondary index entry for
searching.  The problem was that the old value of those fields were not
in the UNDO record since they were not part of an index when the UPDATE
occured. 
A test case was added to innodb-index.test.

mysql-test/r/func_str.result:
  New test cases.
mysql-test/t/func_str.test:
  New test cases.
strings/dtoa.c:
  Increasing the buffer size slightly made some queries pass without leaks.
  Adding Bfree(p51, alloc) fixed the remaining leaks.

For some reason the test authentication plugin accepted connection with arbitrary password. But the intention of the plugin is that password should equal to the authentication string and in the later versions of the server connection fails if password is wrong. So I have updated auth_rpl test to specify the correct password.

               FULLTEXT INDEXES

myisamchk may create incorrect fulltext index for compressed
tables. Incorrect data pointer size was used while creating
fulltext index.

Connection of slave to master using a replication account which authenticates
with an external plugin was not possible.

Fixed by making sure that the CLIENT_PLUGIN_AUTH capability is set when client connects using mysql_real_connect(). Also, a plugin-dir path used by client library to locate authentication plugins is set based on the analogous server setting. This is done in connect_to_master() function before a call to mysql_real_connect().

when buffered changes are to be discarded

sync_thread_add_level(level = SYNC_IBUF_INDEX_TREE): Relax a too strict
condition that the thread must not be holding locks below SYNC_FSP_PAGE.
It is perfectly valid to hold any latch above SYNC_IBUF_INDEX_TREE when
acquiring the insert buffer tree latch.

bugs in it - accessing uninitialized ::len member (thanks, Jimmy!)
and a memory leak.

This is a followup to vasil.dimov@oracle.com-20110909070724-jvirxnpkbxieauz5
which disabled the prefetch code.

Please exclude make_binary_distribution from the distribution

With cmake (5.5 and up), "make package" will do it,
or cpack.
The (generated) "scripts/make_binary_distribution" is just
a wrapper around a "cpack" call,
with path names set at build time.

Similar, "make_win_bin_dist" is not needed any more.

scripts/CMakeLists.txt:
  Cleanup:
  Append a trailing newline when generating "make_binary_distribution"
  (which is just a wrapper around a "cpack" call).
support-files/mysql.spec.sh:
  "make_win_bin_dist" is removed from the sources,
  so its man page is gone,
  and it need not be removed when creating the RPMs.

when buffered changes are to be discarded

ibuf_add_free_page(): Lower the latching order of the newly allocated page
to SYNC_IBUF_TREE_NODE_NEW after latching the insert buffer tree root.

This bug always was bogus UNIV_SYNC_DEBUG alarm. The function
buf_block_dbg_add_level() is a no-op unless UNIV_SYNC_DEBUG is defined.

When there is a secondary index on a column prefix of an externally
stored column and an entry in the secondary index is shorter than the
reserved prefix length, it should mean that the secondary index entry
is holding the complete column value. When comparing this secondary
index column value to the column in the clustered index row, we must
compare the entire prefix that was fetched from the clustered
index. The bug was that we would just compare that the column in the
clustered index starts with the value found in the secondary index
column.

This bug affects only the InnoDB Barracuda formats (ROW_FORMAT=DYNAMIC
and ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED), in which columns that are stored off-page
in the clustered index do not contain any prefix in the clustered
index record.

row_sel_sec_rec_is_for_blob(): Add the parameter prefix_len, for
ifield->prefix_len. Add some assertions.

Sorry, I did not manage to produce a test case. This patch does
produce correct results on the data set that Michael isolated on our
test machine. That was with the purge and background rollback
suspended, because they would make the bug go away.

This change is a followup to
vasil.dimov@oracle.com-20110907145810-v98kldmho23vhhic
which triggered the usage of the prefetch and valgrind tests spat lots of
warnings.

The prefetch code will be removed.

InnoDB acquires an x-latch on btr_search_latch for certain in-place updates
that do affect the adaptive hash index. These operations do not really need
to be protected by the btr_search_latch:

* updating DB_TRX_ID
* updating DB_ROLL_PTR
* updating PAGE_MAX_TRX_ID
* updating the delete-mark flag

rb:750 approved by Sunny Bains

Tweak the faulty UNIV_SYNC_DEBUG diagnostics a little bit more.

ibuf_add_free_page(): Lower the latching order of the newly allocated page
only after acquiring the ibuf_mutex.

Merged cset against latest mysql-5.5.

IN SEMISYNC_MASTER.CC 

Fixing typo: writeTraxInBinlog() => writeTranxInBinlog() .

Additionally, fixed identation.

DROP_TABLE_PROC().

With this change I observe a speedup from 6.2s to 0.1s when executing
DROP_TABLE_PROC() during DROP TABLE with 512 foreign keys, like what
is being done in innodb_bug56143.test

This fixes "Bug#11765460 DROP TABLE USES INEFFICIENT METHODS TO REMOVE
FKS/INDEXES FROM INNODB SYS TABLES"

buf_buddy_relocate(): The ut_time_us() function is needed for
statistics, calculating the total time spent on relocating blocks.
Until now, we invoked ut_time_us() every time buf_buddy_relocate() was
called. Fix: Only call ut_time_us() when the block can be relocated.
After this fix, the reported relocated_usec will no longer include the
time for the page_hash lookup and for acquiring the block mutex.

trx_undo_report_row_operation(): If the page for which the undo log
was too big was empty, commit and start the mini-transaction before
acquiring the rollback segment mutex and freeing the undo page. This
is necessary, because the mini-transaction may be holding lower-order
latches in the levels SYNC_FSP and SYNC_FSP_PAGE.

trx_undo_erase_page_end(): Erase also empty pages, because
trx_undo_report_row_operation() needs to commit the mini-transaction
before freeing the empty page.
