Server crashed during a sort order optimization
of a dependent subquery:

SELECT
    (SELECT t1.a FROM t1, t2
      WHERE t1.a = t2.b AND t2.a = t3.c
      ORDER BY t1.a)
  FROM t3;


Bitmap of tables, that the reference to outer table
column uses, in addition to the regular table bit
has the OUTER_REF_TABLE_BIT bit set.
The only_eq_ref_tables function traverses this map
bit by bit simultaneously with join->map2table list.
Obviously join->map2table never contains an entry
for the OUTER_REF_TABLE_BIT pseudo-table, so the
server crashed there.


The only_eq_ref_tables function has been modified
to traverse regular table bits only like the
update_depend_map function (resetting of the
OUTER_REF_TABLE_BIT there is enough, but
resetting of the whole set of PSEUDO_TABLE_BITS
is used there for sure).

Added the missing DROP TABLE

The problem is that the offset argument of the limit clause
might be truncated on a 32-bits server built without big
tables support. The truncation was happening because the
original 64-bits long argument was being cast to a 32-bits
(ha_rows) offset counter.

The solution is to check if the conversing resulted in value
truncation and if so, the offset is set to the maximum possible
value that can fit on the type.

The problem is that field names constructed due to wild-card
expansion done inside a stored procedure could point to freed
memory if the expansion was performed after the first call to
the stored procedure.

The problem was solved by patch for Bug#38691. The solution
was to allocate the database, table and field names in the
in the statement memory instead of table memory.

Select with a "NULL NOT IN" condition containing complex
subselect from the same table as in the outer select failed
with an assertion.


The failure was caused by a concatenation of circumstances:
1) an inner select was optimized by make_join_statistics to use
   the QUICK_RANGE_SELECT access method (that implies an index
   scan of the table);
2) a subselect was independent (constant) from the outer select;
3) a condition was pushed down into inner select.

During the evaluation of a constant IN expression an optimizer
temporary changed the access method from index scan to table
scan, but an engine handler was already initialized for index
access by make_join_statistics. That caused an assertion.


Unnecessary index initialization has been removed from
the QUICK_RANGE_SELECT::init method (QUICK_RANGE_SELECT::reset
reinvokes this initialization).

            with COALESCE and JOIN

The server returned to a client the VARBINARY column type
instead of the DATE type for a result of the COALESCE,
IFNULL, IF, CASE, GREATEST or LEAST functions if that result
was filesorted in an anonymous temporary table during
the query execution.

For example:
  SELECT COALESCE(t1.date1, t2.date2) AS result
    FROM t1 JOIN t2 ON t1.id = t2.id ORDER BY result;


To create a column of various date/time types in a
temporary table the create_tmp_field_from_item() function
uses the Item::tmp_table_field_from_field_type() method
call. However, fields of the MYSQL_TYPE_NEWDATE type were
missed there, and the VARBINARY columns were created
by default.
Necessary condition has been added.

           derived table cause crash

When a multi-UPDATE command fails to lock some table, and
subsequently succeeds, the tables need to be reopened if
they were altered. But the reopening procedure failed for
derived tables.

Extra cleanup has been added.

          ``FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK''

Concurrent execution of 1) multitable update with a
NATURAL/USING join and 2) a such query as "FLUSH TABLES
WITH READ LOCK" or "ALTER TABLE" of updating table led
to a server crash.


The mysql_multi_update_prepare() function call is optimized
to lock updating tables only, so it postpones locking to
the last, and if locking fails, it does cleanup of modified
syntax structures and repeats a query analysis.  However,
that cleanup procedure was incomplete for NATURAL/USING join
syntax data: 1) some Field_item items pointed into freed
table structures, and 2) the TABLE_LIST::join_columns fields
was not reset.

Major change:
  short-living Field *Natural_join_column::table_field has
  been replaced with long-living Item*.

so that if the substitution contains single-quotes, the program will fail.

(no conflicts)

The grep expression that finds a running "mysqld" program fails if the
"mysqld_safe" is running with the same PID.

Now, excise "ps" output that has the word " grep" or "mysqld_safe" in 
it, to be a little more certain that the matched process is not a false 
positive hit.  This will fail when the path to mysqld contains either
of those two names, which should be acceptable.

Additionally, some text to search could be truncated if very long.  
Expand the number of lines "ps" emits.

mysql-test-run.pl --start-and-exit starts but does not exit
Instead, it hangs with ActiveState perl. The error is
believed to be a bug in ActiveState implementation.
Workaround is using POSIX::_exit, as described here
http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=334610

Thanks to Philip Stoev for the idea of the patch.

The '@' symbol can not be used in the host name according to rfc952.
The fix:
added function check_host_name(LEX_STRING *str)
which checks that all symbols in host name string are valid and
host name length is not more than max host name length
(just moved check_string_length() function from the parser into check_host_name()).

                  tests "<ENGINE>_func_view" fail

The problem:
I_S views table does not check the presence of SHOW_VIEW_ACL|SELECT_ACL
privileges for a view. It leads to discrepancy between SHOW CREATE VIEW
and I_S.VIEWS.
The fix:
added appropriate check.

            
When analyzing the possible index use cases the server was re-using an internal structure.
This is wrong, as this internal structure gets updated during the analysis.
Fixed by making a copy of the internal structure for every place it needs to be used.
Also stopped the generation of empty SEL_TREE structures that unnecessary 
complicate the analysis.

from stored procedure. 

Problem: we replace all references to local variables in stored procedures     
with NAME_CONST(name, value) logging to the binary log. However, if the
value's collation differs we might get an 'illegal mix of collation'           
error as we don't pass the collation to the function.

Fix: pass the value's collation to NAME_CONST().

Note: actually we should pass to NAME_CONST() the value's derivation as well.
It's impossible without the parser modifying. Now we always set the 
derivation to DERIVATION_IMPLICIT, the same as local variables have.

Repush of change to fix tests on Pushbuild.

Server created "arc" directories inside database directories and
maintained there useless copies of .frm files.

Creation and renaming procedures of those copies as well as
creation of "arc" directories has been discontinued.
Removal procedure has been kept untouched to be able to
cleanup existent database directories by the DROP DATABASE
query. Also view renaming procedure has been updated to remove
these directories.

     JOIN for the subselect wasn't cleaned if we came upon an error
     during sub_select() execution. That leads to the assertion failure
     in close_thread_tables()

Machines with hostname set to "localhost" cause uniqueness errors in 
the SQL bootstrap data.

Now, insert zero lines for cases where the (lowercased) hostname is 
the same as an already-inserted 'localhost' name.  Also, fix a few tests 
that expect certain local accounts to have a certain host name.
