Problem:

Before the ALTER TABLE statement, the array
dict_index_t::stat_n_diff_key_vals had proper values calculated
and updated.  But after the ALTER TABLE statement, all the values
of this array is 0.  

Because of this statistics returned by innodb_rec_per_key() is
different before and after the ALTER TABLE statement. Running the
ANALYZE TABLE command populates the statistics correctly.

Solution:

After ALTER TABLE statement, set the flag dict_table_t::stat_initialized
correctly so that the table statistics will be recalculated properly when
the table is next loaded.  But note that we still don't choose the loose
index scans.  This fix only ensures that an ALTER TABLE does not change
the optimizer plan.

BUG#15872504 - REMOVE MYSQL-TEST/INCLUDE/GET_BINLOG_DUMP_THREAD_ID.INC
            
=== Problem ===
            
The file named "mysql-test/include/get_binlog_dump_thread_id.inc" is not 
used anywhere. In any case, this file does wrong things in the wrong way:
1) The file seems to assume there is only one dump thread, but there may 
   be many.
2) you can get this information in a much easier way using the command:
   "select thread_id from threads where processlist_command="Binlog Dump";"

=== Fix ===
          
removed file 'mysql-test/include/get_binlog_dump_thread_id.inc'

Description: A very large database name causes buffer
             overflow in functions acl_get() and
             check_grant_db() in sql_acl.cc. It happens
             due to an unguarded string copy operation.
             This puts required sanity checks before
             copying db string to destination buffer.

This bug is a regression of bug#11759534 - 51855: RACE CONDITION
                                           IN XA START.
  
The reason for regression is that the changes that fixes the original
bug wasn't merged from mysql-5.1 into mysql-5.5 and mysql-trunk.
Only null-merge was done for the patch changeset.
  
To incorporate lost changes the manual merge have been done.
  
Additionally the call of trans_rolback() was added into trans_xa_start()
in case if xid_cache_insert is failed() after transaction has been started.
If we don't call trans_rollback() we would never reset the flag
SERVER_STATUS_IN_TRANS in THD::server_status and therefore all subsequent
attempts to execute XA START in the connection where the error was occurred
will be failed since thd->in_active_multi_stmt_transaction() will return
the true every time when trans_xa_start is called.
  
The latest changes were absent in patch for mysql-5.1

Using too long table aliases in stored routines might
have caused server crashes.

Code in sp_head::merge_table_list() which is responsible 
for collecting information about tables used in stored
routine was not aware of the fact that table alias might
have arbitrary length. I.e. it assumed that table alias
can't be longer than NAME_LEN bytes and allocated buffer
for a key identifying table accordingly.

This patch fixes the issue by ensuring that we use
dynamically allocated buffer for table key when table
alias is too long. By default stack based buffer is used
in which NAME_LEN bytes are reserved for table alias.

No commit message

Code in MDL subsystem assumes that identifiers of objects can't
be longer than NAME_LEN characters. This assumption was broken
when one tried to construct MDL_key based on table alias, which
can have arbitrary length. Since MDL_key's (and MDL locks) are
not really used for table aliases this patch changes code to
not initialize MDL_key object for table list element representing
aliases.

=== Problem ===
      
The test is dependent on binlog positions and checks
to see if the command 'START SLAVE' functions correctly
with the 'UNTIL' clause added to it. The 'UNTIL' clause
is added to specify that the slave should start and run
until the SQL thread reaches a given point in the master
binary log or in the slave relay log.
      
The test uses hard coded values for MASTER_LOG_POS and
RELAY_LOG_POS, instead of extracting it using
query_get_value() function. There is a test
'rpl.rpl_row_until' which does the similar thing but uses 
query_get_value() function to set the values of
MASTER_LOG_POS/ RELAY_LOG_POS. To be precise,
rpl.rpl_row_until is a modified version of
engines/func.rpl_row_until.test.
      
The use of hard coded values may lead the slave to stop at a position
which may differ from the expected position in the binlog file,
an example being the failure of engines/funcs.rpl_row_until in 
mysql-5.1 given as: 
"query 'select * from t2' failed. Table 'test.t2' doesn't exist".
In this case, the slave actually ran a couple of extra commands
as a result of which the slave first deleted the table and then
ran a select query on table, leading to the above mentioned failure.
      
=== Fix ===
    
1) Fixed the code for failure seen in rpl.rpl_row_until.
   This test was also failing although the symptoms of
   failure were different.
2) Copied the contents from rpl.rpl_row_until into
   into engines/funcs.rpl.rpl_row_until.
3) Updated engines/funcs.rpl_row_until.result accordingly.

RPL_ROTATE_LOGS has been failing sporadically in what seems a
problem related to routines that update the coordinates. However,
the test lacks proper assert statments and because of this the
debug information upon failure simply points to the content
mismatch between the test and the result file.

Not as a solution, but as a improvement to the test to better
debug this failure, new assert statments were added to the test.

@rpl_rotate_logs.test
  Added new assert statments reducing the
  dependency on the result file.

@rpl_rotate_logs.result
  Added new content to the result file to
  match the test changes

Problem: The problem with the test is that the slave returns 
         from start_slave.inc call too early before the list
         is actually actualised. This caused the slave stale 
         data to be reported.

Fix: Added a wait in the test till the slave's IO status is 
     changed to "Waiting for master to send event" which 
     which ensures the list is correctly updated.

#include "read0read.h"
for srv0srv.c and trx0rec.c.

FORMAT_DESCRIPTION_LOG_EVENT::CALC_SERVER_VERSION_SPLIT

Problem: When reading a Format_description_log_event, it supposes MySQL
version is always valid and DBUG_ASSERTION is used check the version number.
However, user may give a wrong binlog offset, even give a faked binary event
which includes an invalid MySQL version. This will cause server crash.

Fix: The assertions are removed and an error will be reported if MySQL
version in Format_description_log_event is invalid.

    frac is the number of decimal digits after the point
For each multiplication in the expression, decimal_mul() does this:
  to->frac= from1->frac + from2->frac;              /* store size in digits */
which will eventually overflow.
The code for handling the overflow, will truncate the two digits in "1.75" to "1"

Solution:
Truncate to 31 significant fractional digits, when doing decimal multiplication.

LESS COLUMNS THAN MASTER

Problem:
========
If DML operation requires a converstion at slave and if slave contains
less number of columns than master, slave is crashing.

Fix:
====
When Slave applies any DML operation, it sees if any of the columns 
requires conversion. If yes, it creates conversion table. 
While creating the coversion table, it should look into the actual number 
of columns required to create the table instead of getting the number
of columns from Master (size()). Columns would have dropped or added
at Slave. So the value should be min(columns@master, columns@slave)
