Bug #11936829: DIFF. BETWEEN MYSQL.USER (AUTHENTICATION_STRING) IN 
  FRESH AND UPGRADED 5.5.11
             
There was no modification for pre 5.5.11 builds that had 
authentication_string.  Thus the column was not upgraded 
by mysql_upgrade.
                         
Fixed by adding an ALTER TABLE MODIFY to update an existing 
column to the latest type version.
                                     
Test suite added.

  configuration wizard to fail

Made the fields mysql.user.plugin and mysql.user.authentication_string
nullable to conform with some older clients doing inserts instead of 
using the commands.

Updating result files for embedded mode 

Bug#11766500 - 59624: FUNCS_1 SUITE TESTS FAILING WITH RESULT DIFFERENCE WHEN RUN USING EMBEDDED MODE
      
Updating result files

Regression from bug#11766232.
m_last_part could be set beyond the last partition.
Fixed by only setting it if within the limit.
Also added check in print_error.

Fixed test suite failures when the auth plugin is not compiled in.

Added the cleanup code.
Extended mysql_client_test to take --plugin-dir and --default_auth.
Added a C test case.

                with no .cnf or .ini extension.

Fix for this bug was pushed as part of Bug#11765482.


mysql-test/r/mysqladmin.result:
  Added test case for Bug#11766184.
mysql-test/t/mysqladmin.test:
  Added test case for Bug#11766184.

Problem: the test had not been updated after BUG#49978 was pushed
Fix: add 'set $rpl_only_running_threads= 1' to the end of the test
and update the result file.
Also, use include/assert.inc for an assertion (instead of relying
on result file comparison).
Also, move 'set @@global.slave_net_timeout' forwards, to get rid
of a warning.


mysql-test/suite/large_tests/r/rpl_slave_net_timeout.result:
  updated result file
mysql-test/suite/large_tests/t/rpl_slave_net_timeout.test:
   - Got rid of warning "The requested value for the heartbeat period
     exceeds the value of `slave_net_timeout' seconds. A sensible
     value for the period should be less than the timeout." by
     changing order of "set slave_net_timeout" and
     "change master to master_heartbeat_period".
   - replaced result file comparison by include/assert.inc
   - added "let $rpl_only_running_threads= 1"

Currently, rpl_semi_sync is failing in PB due to the warning message:

  "Slave SQL: slave SQL thread is being stopped in the middle of "
  "applying of a group having updated a non-transaction table; "
  "waiting for the group completion ..."

The problem started happening after the fix for BUG#11762407 what was
automatically suppressing some warning messages.

To fix the current issue, we suppress the aforementioned warning message
and exploit the opportunity to make the sentence clearer.

Automerge: mysql-5.1 --> mysql-5.5 

      
There is a race between two threads: user thread and the dump
thread. The former sets a debug instruction that makes the latter wait
before processing an Xid event. There can be cases that the dump
thread has not yet processed the previous Xid event, causing it to
wait one Xid event too soon, thus causing sync_slave_with_master never
to resume.
      
We fix this by moving the instructions that set the debug variable
after calling sync_slave_with_master.

Problem: the test failed because errors were found in the error log.
The test case contains suppressions for an old version of the error message,
but the format of the error message has changed without updating the suppression.
Fix: Update the suppression. Also small fixes to improve the test.


mysql-test/suite/rpl/r/rpl_slave_load_remove_tmpfile.result:
  update result file
mysql-test/suite/rpl/t/rpl_slave_load_remove_tmpfile-slave.opt:
  Use variables instead of .opt files to avoid server restarts.
mysql-test/suite/rpl/t/rpl_slave_load_remove_tmpfile.test:
  1. To fix the bug, we update the regular expression in mtr.add_suppression
     so that it matches the real error text.
  2. Use wait_for_slave_sql_error.inc when we wait for an error.
     This makes the test easier to understand and will produce better
     debug info if the test fails.
  3. Use server variables instead of command line options to set
     the @@GLOBAL.DEBUG variable. This avoids server restarts when
     running the test suite.
  4. Clarify the comment at the top of the file and add bug reference.

of service in prepared statements).

sql/sql_prepare.cc:
  At mysql_stmt_get_longdata(): instead of pushing an internal
  error handler (as done in 5.1-tree) we save, set and restore
  the statement's diagnostics area and warning info.

The problem was that server didn't check resulting size of prepared
statement argument which was set using mysql_send_long_data() API.
By calling mysql_send_long_data() several times it was possible
to create overly big string and thus force server to allocate
memory for it. There was no way to limit this allocation.

The solution is to add check for size of result string against
value of max_long_data_size start-up parameter. When intermediate
string exceeds max_long_data_size value an appropriate error message
is emitted.

We can't use existing max_allowed_packet parameter for this purpose
since its value is limited by 1GB and therefore using it as a limit
for data set through mysql_send_long_data() API would have been an
incompatible change. Newly introduced max_long_data_size parameter
gets value from max_allowed_packet parameter unless its value is
specified explicitly. This new parameter is marked as deprecated
and will be eventually replaced by max_allowed_packet parameter.
Value of max_long_data_size parameter can be set only at server
startup.


mysql-test/t/variables.test:
  Added checking for new start-up parameter max_long_data_size.
sql/item.cc:
  Added call to my_message() when accumulated string exceeds
  max_long_data_size value. my_message() calls error handler
  that was installed in mysql_stmt_get_longdata before call
  to Item_param::set_longdata.
  
  The error handler then sets state, last_error and last_errno
  fields for current statement to values which correspond to
  error which was caught.
sql/mysql_priv.h:
  Added max_long_data_size variable declaration.
sql/mysqld.cc:
  Added support for start-up parameter 'max_long_data_size'.
  This parameter limits size of data which can be sent from
  client to server using mysql_send_long_data() API.
sql/set_var.cc:
  Added variable 'max_long_data_size' into list of variables
  displayed by command 'show variables'.
sql/sql_prepare.cc:
  Added error handler class Set_longdata_error_handler.
  This handler is used to catch any errors that can be
  generated during execution of Item_param::set_longdata().
  
  Source code snippet that makes checking for statement's state 
  during statement execution is moved from Prepared_statement::execute()
  to Prepared_statement::execute_loop() in order not to call
  set_parameters() when statement has failed during
  set_long_data() execution. If this hadn't been done
  the call to set_parameters() would have failed.
tests/mysql_client_test.c:
  A testcase for the bug #56976 was added.

FAILED DROP DATABASE CAN BREAK STATEMENT BASED REPLICATION

The first phase of DROP DATABASE is to delete the tables in the database.
If deletion of one or more of the tables fail (e.g. due to a FOREIGN KEY
constraint), DROP DATABASE will be aborted. However, some tables could
still have been deleted. The problem was that nothing would be written
to the binary log in this case, so any slaves would not delete these tables.
Therefore the master and the slaves would get out of sync.

This patch fixes the problem by making sure that DROP TABLE is written
to the binary log for the tables that were in fact deleted by the failed
DROP DATABASE statement.

Test case added to binlog.binlog_database.test.

Add a missing DBUG_RETURN function test_if_number().
