      Introduce a counter for protection against global read lock on thread level.
      
      The functions for protection against global read lock sometimes need a local
      variable to signal when the protection is set, and hence need to be released.
      It would be better to control this behaviour via a counter on the THD struct,
      telling how many times the protection has been claimed by the current thread.
      A side-effect of the fix is that if protection is claimed twice for a thread,
      only a simple increment is required for the second claim, instead of a
      mutex-protected increment of the global variable protect_against_global_read_lock.

      This is a patch for bug#47098 assert in MDL_context::destroy on
      HANDLER <damaged merge table> OPEN.
            
      The assert occurs in MDL_context::destroy when the connection is terminated,
      because all mdl_tickets have not been released.
      MERGE tables do not support being opened using the HANDLER ... OPEN command,
      and trying to do so will result in an error. In the event of an error, all
      tables that are opened, should be closed again. The fix for bug#45781 made
      sure that this also works for MERGE tables, which causes multiple tables to
      be opened.
      This fix extends the fix for bug#45781, by ensuring that also all locks are
      released, when MERGE tables are involved.

      Bug #21793 Missing CF_CHANGES_DATA and CF_STATUS_COMMAND for 
                 handful of commands
      
      CF_CHANGES_DATA and CF_STATUS_COMMAND flags added to the 
      commands mentioned in the bug description. With the following
      two exceptions: 
      
      1) 4 commands do not exist: 
      SQLCOM_RENAME_DB
      SQLCOM_LOAD_MASTER_DATA
      SQLCOM_LOAD_MASTER_TABLE
      SQLCOM_SHOW_COLUMN_TYPES
      
      2) All SQLCOM_SHOW_* commands already had CF_STATUS_COMMAND,
      leaving only SQLCOM_BINLOG_BASE64_EVENT.
      
      Further, check_prepared_statement() in sql_prepare.cc has been
      simplified by taking advantage of the CF_STATUS_COMMAND flag.
      
      Note that no test case has been added.

      Bug #48248 assert in MDL_ticket::upgrade_shared_lock_to_exclusive
      
      The assert would happen if REPAIR TABLE was used on a table already
      locked by LOCK TABLES READ. REPAIR mistakenly tried to upgrade the
      read-lock to exclusive, thereby triggering the assert.
      
      The cause of the problem was that REPAIR TABLE ignored errors 
      from opening and locking tables. This is by design, as REPAIR
      can be used to broken tables that cannot be opened. However,
      repair also ignored logical errors such as the inability to
      exclusivly lock a table due to conflicting LOCK TABLES.
      
      This patch fixes the problem by not ignoring errors from
      opening and locking tables if inside LOCK TABLES mode.
      In LOCK TABLES we already know that the table can be opened,
      so that the failure to open must be a logical error.
      
      Test added to repair.test.

      Bug #47107 assert in notify_shared_lock on incorrect CREATE TABLE , HANDLER
      
      Attempts to create a table (using CREATE TABLE, CREATE TABLE LIKE or
      CREATE TABLE SELECT statements) which already existed and was opened
      by the same connection through HANDLER statement, led to a stalled
      connection (for production builds of the server) or to the server being
      aborted due to an assertion failure (for debug builds of the server).
      
      This problem was introduced by the new implementation of a metadata
      locking subsystem and didn't affect earlier versions of the server.
      
      The cause of the problem was that the HANDLER was not closed by CREATE TABLE
      before CREATE tried to open and lock the table. Acquiring an exclusive MDL
      lock on the table to be created would therefore fail since HANDLER
      already had a shared MDL lock. This triggered an assert as the 
      HANDLER and CREATE statements came from the same thread (self-deadlock).
      
      This patch resolves the issue by closing any open HANDLERs on tables
      to be created by CREATE TABLE, similar to what is already done for 
      DROP and ALTER TABLE.
      
      Test case added to create.test.

      Bug #48725 Assert !thd->is_error() in delayed_get_table()
      
      This bug is a regression introduced by the patch for Bug #45949.
      
      If the handler thread for INSERT DELAYED was killed by e.g.
      FLUSH TABLES, the error message is copied from the handler thread
      to the connection thread. But the error was not reacted on, so the
      connection thread continued as normal, leading to an eventual assert.
      
      No test case added as it would have required sync points to work
      for handler threads. The plan is to add this in the scope of 
      Bug #48725 / Bug #48541. The patch has been tested with the 
      non-deterministic test case given in the bug description.

      Bug #45949 Assertion `!tables->table' in open_tables() on 
                 ALTER + INSERT DELAYED
      
      The assertion was caused by improperly closing tables when 
      INSERT DELAYED needed to reopen tables. This patch replaces
      the call to close_thread_tables with close_tables_for_reopen
      which fixes the problem.
      
      The only way I was able to trigger the reopen code path and 
      thus the assertion, was if ALTER TABLE killed the delayed
      insert thread and the delayed insert thread was able to enter
      the reopen code path before it noticed that thd->killed had
      been set. Note that in these cases reopen will always fail 
      since open_table() will check thd->killed and return. This patch
      therefore adds two more thd->killed checks to minimize the 
      chance of entering the reopen code path without hope for success.
      
      The patch also changes it so that if the delayed insert is killed
      using KILL_CONNECTION, the error message that is copied to the
      connection thread is ER_QUERY_INTERRUPTED rather than 
      ER_SERVER_SHUTDOWN. This means that if INSERT DELAYED fails, 
      the user will now see "Query execution was interrupted" rather
      than the misleading "Server shutdown in progress".
      
      No test case is supplied. This is for two reasons:
      1) Unable to reproduce the error without having the delayed insert
      thread in a killed state which means that reopen is futile and
      was not supposed to be attempted.
      2) Difficulty of using sync points in other threads than 
      the connection thread.
      The patch has been successfully tested with the RQG and the grammar
      supplied in the bug description.

      Bug #47249 assert in MDL_global_lock::is_lock_type_compatible
      
      This assert could be triggered if LOCK TABLES were used to lock
      both a table and a view that used the same table. The table would have
      to be first WRITE locked and then READ locked. So "LOCK TABLES v1
      WRITE, t1 READ" would eventually trigger the assert, "LOCK TABLES
      v1 READ, t1 WRITE" would not. The reason is that the ordering of locks
      in the interal representation made a difference when executing 
      FLUSH TABLE on the table.
      
      During FLUSH TABLE, a lock was upgraded to exclusive. If this lock
      was of type MDL_SHARED and not MDL_SHARED_UPGRADABLE, an internal
      counter in the MDL subsystem would get out of sync. This would happen
      if the *last* mention of the table in LOCK TABLES was a READ lock.
      
      The counter in question is the number exclusive locks (active or intention). 
      This is used to make sure a global metadata lock is only taken when the 
      counter is zero (= no conflicts). The counter is increased when a
      MDL_EXCLUSIVE or MDL_SHARED_UPGRADABLE lock is taken, but not when 
      upgrade_shared_lock_to_exclusive() is used to upgrade directly
      from MDL_SHARED to MDL_EXCLUSIVE. 
      
      This patch fixes the problem by searching for a TABLE instance locked
      with MDL_SHARED_UPGRADABLE or MDL_EXCLUSIVE before calling
      upgrade_shared_lock_to_exclusive(). The patch also adds an assert checking
      that only MDL_SHARED_UPGRADABLE locks are upgraded to exclusive.
      
      Test case added to lock_multi.test.

        Fix for bug #46747 "Crash in MDL_ticket::upgrade_shared_lock_to_exclusive
        on TRIGGER + TEMP table".
      
        Server crashed when one tried to drop trigger which had its subject
        table shadowed by a temporary table with the same name.
      
        This problem occured because in such situation DROP TRIGGER has opened
        temporary table instead of base table on which trigger was defined.
        Attempt to upgrade metadata lock on this temporary table led to crash
        (we don't acquire metadata locks for temporary tables).
      
        This fix ensures that DROP TRIGGER ignores temporary tables when
        trying to open table on which trigger to be dropped is defined.

      Bug #42074 concurrent optimize table and 
                 alter table = Assertion failed: thd->is_error()
      
      This assertion could occur if OPTIMIZE TABLE was started on a InnoDB table
      and the table was altered to different storage engine after OPTIMIZE
      had started. This allowed OPTIMIZE to pass the initial checks for 
      storage engine support, but fail once it reached "recreate+analyze"
      if this operation was not supported by the new storage engine.
      The bug had no consequences for non-debug builds of the server.
      
      In detail, the assertion was triggered when ha_analyze() returned 
      HA_ADMIN_NOT_IMPLEMENTED. This led to a code path which included an 
      assert checking for diagnostics area contents. Since this area had 
      not been filled, the assertion was triggered. The diagnostics area 
      is in this case only used to provide more detailed information about 
      why optimize failed. The triggered code path sends this information 
      to the client and clears the diagnostic area.
      
      This patch fixed the problem by adding an error message to the diagnostic 
      area if ha_analyze() fails. This error message contains the error code
      returned by ha_analyze().
      
      Test case added to innodb_mysql_sync.test.

        A fix and a test case for Bug#46610 "MySQL 5.4.4: MyISAM MRG engine crash
        on auto-repair of child".
        Also fixes Bug#42862 "Crash on failed attempt to open a children of a
        merge table".
      
        MERGE engine needs to extend the global table list
        with TABLE_LIST elements for child tables,
        so that they are opened and locked.
        Previously these table list elements were allocated
        in memory of ha_myisammrg object (MERGE engine handler).
        That would lead to access to freed memory in
        recover_from_failed_open_table_attempt(), which would
        try to recover a MERGE table child (MyISAM table)
        and use for that TABLE_LIST of that child.
        But by the time recover_from_failed_open_table_attempt()
        is invoked, ha_myisammrg object that owns this
        TABLE_LIST may be destroyed, and thus TABLE_LIST
        memory freed.
      
        The fix is to ensure that TABLE_LIST elements
        that are added to the global table list (lex->query_tables)
        are always allocated in thd->mem_root, which is not
        destroyed until end of execution.
      
        If previously TABLE_LIST elements were allocated
        at ha_myisammrg::open() (i.e. when the TABLE
        object was created and added to the table cache),
        now they are allocated in ha_myisammrg::add_chidlren_list()
        (i.e. right after "open" of the merge parent in
        open_tables()).
        We still create a list of children names
        at ha_myisammrg::open() to use as a basis
        for creation of TABLE_LISTs, that allows
        to avoid reading the merge handler data
        file on every execution.

        are only used as a list in recover_from_failed_open_table_attempt(),
        which calls mdl_context.wait_for_locks() for this list.
        To keep such list for recover_from_failed_open_table_attempt(),
        introduce a context class (Open_table_context), that collects
        all requests.
        A lot of minor cleanups and simplications that became possible
        with this change.

        A fix and a test case for Bug#45035 "Altering table under LOCK TABLES
        results in "Error 1213 Deadlock found...".
      
        If a user had a table locked with LOCK TABLES
        for READ and for WRITE in the same connection, ALTER TABLE
        could fail.
      
        Root cause analysis:
      
        If a connection issues
      
        LOCK TABLE t1 write, t1 a read, t1 b read;
      
        the new LOCK TABLES code in 6.0 (part of WL 3726) will create
        the following list of TABLE_LIST objects
        (thd->locked_tables_list->m_locked_tables):
      
        {"t1" "b" tl_read_no_insert}, {"t1" "a" tl_read_no_insert},
        {"t1" "t1" tl_write }
      
        Later on, when we try to ALTER table t1, mysql_alter_table()
        closes all TABLE instances and releases its thr_lock locks,
        keeping only an exclusive metadata lock on t1.
      
        But when ALTER is finished, Locked_table_list::reopen_tables()
        tries to restore the original list of open and locked tables.
      
        Before this patch, it used to do so one by one:
        Open t1 b, get TL_READ_NO_INSERT lock,
        Open t1 a, get TL_READ_NO_INSERT lock
        Open t1, try to get TL_WRITE lock, deadlock.
      
        The cause of the deadlock is that thr_lock.c doesn't
        resolve the situation when the read list only consists
        of locks taken by the same thread, followed by this very
        thread trying to take a WRITE lock. Indeed, since
        thr_lock_multi always gets a sorted list of locks,
        WRITE locks always precede READ locks in the list
        to lock.
      
        Don't try to fix thr_lock.c deficiency, keep this
        code simple.
        Instead, try to take all thr_lock locks at once
        in ::reopen_tables().

        Fix for bug #39674 "On shutdown mdl_destroy() called before

        Attempt to shutdown PBXT engine plugin led to assertion failure
        caused by using already destroyed mutex in metadata locking
        subsystem.
      
        This problem stemmed from the fact that we MDL subsystem and
        table definition cache were deinitialized before plugin shutdown
        while PBXT plugin during its shutdown process accessed tables and
        therefore expected them to be in working shape.
      
        This patch solves this problem by moving deinitialization of
        these two subsystems after plugins are shut down.
      
        No test case is provided since such test case would require
        using PBXT or other plugin which accesses tables during its
        shutdown process.

      Bug#989: If DROP TABLE while there's an active transaction, wrong binlog order
      WL#4284: Transactional DDL locking
      
      Currently the MySQL server does not keep metadata locks on
      schema objects for the duration of a transaction, thus failing
      to guarantee the integrity of the schema objects being used
      during the transaction and to protect then from concurrent
      DDL operations. This also poses a problem for replication as
      a DDL operation might be replicated even thought there are
      active transactions using the object being modified.
      
      The solution is to defer the release of metadata locks until
      a active transaction is either committed or rolled back. This
      prevents other statements from modifying the table for the
      entire duration of the transaction. This provides commitment
      ordering for guaranteeing serializability across multiple
      transactions.
      
      - Incompatible change:
      
      If MySQL's metadata locking system encounters a lock conflict,
      the usual schema is to use the try and back-off technique to
      avoid deadlocks -- this schema consists in releasing all locks
      and trying to acquire them all in one go.
      
      But in a transactional context this algorithm can't be utilized
      as its not possible to release locks acquired during the course
      of the transaction without breaking the transaction commitments.
      To avoid deadlocks in this case, the ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK will be
      returned if a lock conflict is encountered during a transaction.
      
      Let's consider an example:
      
      A transaction has two statements that modify table t1, then table
      t2, and then commits. The first statement of the transaction will
      acquire a shared metadata lock on table t1, and it will be kept
      utill COMMIT to ensure serializability.
      
      At the moment when the second statement attempts to acquire a
      shared metadata lock on t2, a concurrent ALTER or DROP statement
      might have locked t2 exclusively. The prescription of the current
      locking protocol is that the acquirer of the shared lock backs off
      -- gives up all his current locks and retries. This implies that
      the entire multi-statement transaction has to be rolled back.
      
      - Incompatible change:
      
      FLUSH commands such as FLUSH PRIVILEGES and FLUSH TABLES WITH READ
      LOCK won't cause locked tables to be implicitly unlocked anymore.

      Bug#989: If DROP TABLE while there's an active transaction, wrong binlog order
      WL#4284: Transactional DDL locking
      
      This is a prerequisite patch:
      
      These changes are intended to split lock requests from granted
      locks and to allow the memory and lifetime of granted locks to
      be managed within the MDL subsystem. Furthermore, tickets can
      now be shared and therefore are used to satisfy multiple lock
      requests, but only shared locks can be recursive.
      
      The problem is that the MDL subsystem morphs lock requests into
      granted locks locks but does not manage the memory and lifetime
      of lock requests, and hence, does not manage the memory of
      granted locks either. This can be problematic because it puts the
      burden of tracking references on the users of the subsystem and
      it can't be easily done in transactional contexts where the locks
      have to be kept around for the duration of a transaction.
      
      Another issue is that recursive locks (when the context trying to
      acquire a lock already holds a lock on the same object) requires
      that each time the lock is granted, a unique lock request/granted
      lock structure structure must be kept around until the lock is
      released. This can lead to memory leaks in transactional contexts
      as locks taken during the transaction should only be released at
      the end of the transaction. This also leads to unnecessary wake
      ups (broadcasts) in the MDL subsystem if the context still holds
      a equivalent of the lock being released.
      
      These issues are exacerbated due to the fact that WL#4284 low-level
      design says that the implementation should "2) Store metadata locks
      in transaction memory root, rather than statement memory root" but
      this is not possible because a memory root, as implemented in mysys,
      requires all objects allocated from it to be freed all at once.
      
      This patch combines review input and significant code contributions
      from Konstantin Osipov (kostja) and Dmitri Lenev (dlenev).

      Bug#39897: lock_multi fails in pushbuild: timeout waiting for processlist
      
      The problem is that relying on the "Table lock" thread state in
      its current position to detect that a thread is waiting on a lock
      is race prone. The "Table lock" state change happens before the
      thread actually tries to grab a lock on a table.
      
      The solution is to move the "Table lock" state so that its set
      only when a thread is actually going to wait for a lock. The state
      change happens after the thread fails to grab the lock (because it
      is owned by other thread) and proceeds to wait on a condition.
      
      This is considered part of work related to WL#4284 "Transactional
      DDL locking"
      Warning: this patch contains an incompatible change. 
      When waiting on a lock in thr_lock.c, the server used to display "Locked"
      processlist state. After this patch, the state is "Table lock".
      The new state was actually intended to be display since year 2002,
      when Monty added it. But up until removal of thd->locked boolean
      member, this state was ignored by SHOW PROCESSLIST code.
