ROBUST AGAINST BUGS IN CALLERS".

Both MDL subsystems and Table Definition Cache code assume 
that callers ensure that names of objects passed to them are 
not longer than NAME_LEN bytes. Unfortunately due to bugs in 
callers this assumption might be broken in some cases. As
result we get nasty bugs causing buffer overruns when we
construct MDL key or TDC key from object names.

This patch makes TDC code more robust against such bugs by 
ensuring that we always checking size of result buffer when
constructing TDC keys. This doesn't free its callers from 
ensuring that both db and table names are shorter than 
NAME_LEN bytes. But at least this steps prevents buffer 
overruns in case of bug in caller, replacing them with less 
harmful behavior.

This is 5.1-only version of patch.

This patch introduces new version of create_table_def_key()
helper function which constructs TDC key without risk of
result buffer overrun. Places in code that construct TDC keys 
were changed to use this function.

Also changed rm_temporary_table() and open_new_frm() functions
to avoid use of "unsafe" strmov() and strxmov() functions and 
use safer strnxmov() instead.

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'

               RPL_ROW_UNTIL TIMES OUT
 
 patch to fix post push falures in pb2 

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.

      
=== 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.

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.

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.

The converted implicit lock should wait for the prior conflicting lock if found.

Our dealing of buf_page_t::access_time flag is inaccurate.
* If LRU eviction has not started we don't set the access_time
* If LRU eviction is started we set it only if the block is not
'too old'.
* Not a correctness issue but we hold buf_pool::mutex when
setting the flag

This patch fixes this by:
* Setting flag unconditionally whenever the first page access happens
* Use buf_page_t mutex to protect write to the flag

The problem is related to the changes made in bug#13025132.
get_partition_set can do dynamic pruning which limits the partitions
to scan even further. This is not accounted for when setting
the correct start of the preallocated record buffer used in
the priority queue, thus leading to wrong buffer is used
(including wrong preset partitioning id, connected to that buffer).

Solution is to fast forward the buffer pointer to point to the correct
partition record buffer.

Remove a bogus debug assertion.

CHAR(n) in ROW_FORMAT=REDUNDANT tables is always fixed-length
(n*mbmaxlen bytes), but in the temporary file it is variable-length
(n*mbminlen to n*mbmaxlen bytes) for variable-length character sets,
such as UTF-8.

The temporary file format used during index creation and online ALTER
TABLE is based on ROW_FORMAT=COMPACT. Thus, it should use the
variable-length encoding even if the base table is in
ROW_FORMAT=REDUNDNAT.

debug assertion.

rec_init_offsets_comp_ordinary(), rec_convert_dtuple_to_rec_comp():

rec_get_converted_size_comp_prefix(): Remove the comment about
dict_table_is_comp(). This function is only to be called for other

rec_get_converted_size_temp(): New function for computing temporary
file record size. Omit REC_N_NEW_EXTRA_BYTES from the sizes.

btr_lift_page_up() writes wrong page number (different by -1) for upper than father page.
But in almost all of the cases, the father page should be root page, no upper
pages. It is very rare path.

In addition the leaf page should not be lifted unless the father page is root.
Because the branch pages should not become the leaf pages.

When a new primary key is added to an InnoDB table, then the following
steps are taken by InnoDB plugin:

.  let t1 be the original table.
.  a temporary table t1@00231 will be created by cloning t1.
.  all data will be copied from t1 to t1@00231.
.  rename t1 to t1@00232.
.  rename t1@00231 to t1.
.  drop t1@00232.

The rename and drop operations involve file operations.  But file operations
cannot be rolled back.  So in row_merge_rename_tables(), just after doing data
dictionary update and before doing any file operations, generate redo logs
for file operations and commit the transaction.  This will ensure that any
crash after this commit, the table is still recoverable by moving .ibd and
.frm files.  Manual recovery is required.

During recovery, the rename file operation redo logs are processed.
Previously this was being ignored.

              TABLE DATA IF DUMPS MYSQL DATABA
Problem: If mysqldump is run without --events (or with --skip-events)
it will not dump the mysql.event table's data. This behaviour is inconsistent
with that of --routines option, which does not affect the dumping of
mysql.proc table. According to the Manual, --events (--skip-events) defines,
if the Event Scheduler events for the dumped databases should be included
in the mysqldump output and this has nothing to do with the mysql.event table
itself.
Solution: A warning has been added when mysqldump is used without --events 
(or with --skip-events) and a separate patch with the behavioral change 
will be prepared for 5.6/trunk.

 
 Analysis
 --------- 
 
 my_stat() calls stat() and if the stat() call fails we try to set 
 the variable  my_errno which is actually a thread specific data .
 We try to get the  address of this thread specific data using
 my_pthread_getspecifc(),but for the purge thread we have not defined 
 any thread specific data so it returns null and when dereferencing 
 null we get a segmentation fault.
        init_available_charsets() seen in the core stack is invoked 
 through  pthread_once() .pthread_once is used for one time 
 initialization.Since free_charsets() is called before innodb plugin 
 shutdown ,purge thread calls init_avaliable_charsets() which leads 
 to the crash.

 Fix
 ---
 Call free_charsets() after the innodb plugin shutdown,since purge 
 threads are still using the charsets. 

Follow up patch to address the pb2 failures.

Brief description: After insert some rows to MEMORY table with HASH key some 
rows can't be deleted in one step.    

Problem Analysis/solution: info->current_ptr will have the information about the
current hash pointer from where we can traverse to the list to get all the       
remaining tuples.
      
In hp_delete_key we are updating info->current_ptr with the last_pos based on       
the flag parameter(which is the keydef and last index are same). As part of the       
fix we are making it to zero only when the code flow reaches to the end of the       
function hp_delete_key() it means that the next record which has to get deleted       
will be at the starting of the list so, that in the next call to       
read record(heap_rnext()) will take line number 100 path instead of 102 path, 
please see the below code in file hp_rnext.c, function heap_rnext().
 99       else if (!info->current_ptr)              /* Deleted or first call */
100         pos= hp_search(info, keyinfo, info->lastkey, 0);
101       else  
102         pos= hp_search(info, keyinfo, info->lastkey, 1);

with that change the hp_search() will update the info->current_ptr with the 
record which needs to be deleted.

PROBLEM 
-------

optimize on partiton will recreate the whole table 
instead of just partition.

ANALYSIS
--------

At present innodb doesn't support optimize option ,so we do a rebuild of the 
whole table and then call analyze() on the table.Presently for any optimize()
option (on table or partition) we display the following info to the user 

"Table does not support optimize, doing recreate + analyze instead".

FIX
---

It was decided for GA versions(5.1 and 5.5) whenever the user tries to 
optimize a partition(s) we will will display the following info the user

"Table does not support optimize on partitions.
All partitions will be rebuilt and analyzed."

Earlier partitions were not analyzed.Now all partitions  will be analyzed.  

If the user wants to optimize the whole table ,we will display the
previous info to the user. i.e

"Table does not support optimize, doing recreate + analyze instead"

For 5.6+ versions we will raise a new bug to support optimize() options
in innodb.

Add missing DBUG_RETURNs, otherwise the debug-stack gets messed up,
and _db_enter_ and _db_exit_ will access data outside the current stack frame.

              TO 'MYISAM_SORT_BUFFER_SIZE'
Problem: 'myisam_sort_buffer_size' is a parameter used by 
mysqld program only whereas 'sort_buffer_size' is used by
mysqld and myisamchk programs. But the error message printed
when myisamchk program is run with insufficient buffer size 
is myisam_sort_buffer_size is too small which may mislead to the
server parameter myisam_sort_buffer_size.
SOLUTION: A parameter 'myisam_sort_buffer_size' is added as an
alias for 'sort_buffer_size' and the 'sort_buffer_size' parameter
is marked as deprecated. So myisamchk also has both the parameters
with the same role.

               main.mysqlbinlog_row_innodb are skipped by mtr

=== Problem ===

The following tests are wrongly placed in main suite and as a
result these are not run with proper binlog format combinations.
Some are always skipped by mtr.
1) mysqlbinlog_row_myisam
2) mysqlbinlog_row_innodb
3) mysqlbinlog_row.test
4) mysqlbinlog_row_trans.test
5) mysqlbinlog-cp932
6) mysqlbinlog2
7) mysqlbinlog_base64

=== Background ===

mtr runs the tests placed in main suite with binlog format=stmt.
Those that need to be tested against binlog format=row or mixed
or more than one binlog format and require only one mysql server
are placed in binlog suite. mtr runs tests in binlog suite with
all three binlog formats(stmt,row and mixed).

=== Fix ===


1) Moved the test listed in problem section above to binlog suite.
2) Added prefix "binlog_" to the name of each test case moved.
   Renamed the coresponding result files and option files accordingly.

IN ALTER TABLE ... ADD UNIQUE KEY

A bogus debug assertion failure occurred when reporting a duplicate
key on a column prefix of a CHAR column.

This is a regression from Bug#14729221 IN-PLACE ALTER TABLE REPORTS ''
INSTEAD OF REAL DUPLICATE VALUE FOR PREFIX KEYS. The assertion is only
present when UNIV_DEBUG is defined (which it is in debug builds
starting from MySQL 5.5). It is a case of overasserting.
