  branches/5.1: Fix for MySQL Bug#38839. Reset the statement level last
  value field in prebuilt. This field tracks the last value in an autoincrement
  interval. We use this value to check whether we need to update a table's
  AUTOINC counter, if the value written to a table is less than this value
  then we avoid updating the table's AUTOINC value in order to reduce
  mutex contention. If it's not reset (e.g., after a DELETE statement) then
  there is the possibility of missing updates to the table's AUTOINC counter
  resulting in a subsequent duplicate row error message under certain 
  conditions (see the test case for details).

    message:
      Bug#20129: ALTER TABLE ... REPAIR PARTITION ... complains that
      partition is corrupt
      
      The main problem was that ALTER TABLE t ANALYZE/CHECK/OPTIMIZE/REPAIR
      PARTITION took another code path (over mysql_alter_table instead of
      mysql_admin_table) which differs in two ways:
      1) alter table opens the tables in a different way than admin tables do
         resulting in returning with error before it tried the command
      2) alter table does not start to send any diagnostic rows to the client
         which the lower admin functions continue to use -> resulting in
         assertion crash
      
      The fix:
      Remapped ALTER TABLE t ANALYZE/CHECK/OPTIMIZE/REPAIR PARTITION to use
      the same code path as ANALYZE/CHECK/OPTIMIZE/REPAIR TABLE t.
      Adding check in mysql_admin_table to setup the partition list for
      which partitions that should be used.
      
      
      Partitioned tables will still not work with
      REPAIR TABLE/PARTITION USE_FRM, since that requires moving partitions
      to tables, REPAIR TABLE t USE_FRM, and check that the data still
      fulfills the partitioning function and then move the table back to
      being a partition.
      
      NOTE: I have removed the following functions from the handler
      interface:
      analyze_partitions, check_partitions, optimize_partitions,
      repair_partitions
      Since they are not longer needed.
      THIS ALTERS THE STORAGE ENGINE API
  
  I have verified that OPTIMIZE TABLE actually rebuilds the table
  and calls ANALYZE.

  Fix Bug#38185 ha_innobase::info can hold locks even when called with HA_STATUS_NO_LOCK
  
  The fix is to call fsp_get_available_space_in_free_extents() from
  ha_innobase::info() only if HA_STATUS_NO_LOCK is not present in the flag
  *AND*
  change get_schema_tables_record() in MySQL's sql/sql_show.cc to call
  ::info() *without* HA_STATUS_NO_LOCK whenever a user issues SELECT FROM
  information_schema.tables;
  
  Without the change to sql/sql_show.cc this patch would lead to Bug#32440
  resurfacing. I.e. delete_length would never be updated in ::info() and
  will remain 0 forever, resulting in the free space not being shown
  anywhere.

buf_LRU_old_adjust_len(), buf_LRU_remove_block(): Check that blocks in
buf_pool->LRU_old have the "old" flag set and the blocks preceding
buf_pool->LRU_old have the "old" flag clear.

buf_LRU_add_block_low(), buf_relocate(): Check that buf_pool->LRU_old
is the first block in the LRU list whose "old" flag is set.

buf_LRU_free_block(): When replacing a control block in the LRU list
with a control block for a compressed page, assert that the "old"
flags in the neighboring LRU list entries grow monotonically.

buf_page_set_old(): Assert that the "old" flags in the neighboring LRU
list entries grow monotonically.

file list link is written or read below FIL_PAGE_DATA.  This has

buf_pool->LRU_old_len.  However, we forgot to check if buf_pool->LRU_old
happens to point to b's successor in the LRU list.  If it does, we must
assign buf_pool->LRU_old = b.  The following invariants hold:

In the LRU list, the "old" flag should grow monotonically, i.e., it is 0
for the first few items and 1 from thereafter.

If buf_pool->LRU_old != NULL, it must point to the first item with old=1
in the LRU list, and there must be buf_pool->LRU_old_len old items in the list.

This should fix Mantis issue#50 and issue#68.

The cardinality of every index (the number of different key values) is
calculated when the table is opened, at SHOW TABLE STATUS,
ANALYZE TABLE and on other circumstances (like when the table has
changed too much). Note that if the mysql client is running with the
auto-rehash setting turned on (default) this causes all tables to be
opened when it starts.

Previously InnoDB sampled 8 random pages from the index to get an
estimate of the cardinality. Now the number of sampled pages can be
changed via the global parameter innodb_stats_sample_pages which can
be tuned at runtime. The default value for this parameter is 8.

If the value of this parameter is changed, there may be serious problems:

- small values (say, 1) can cause an error in table stats;
- values much larger than 8 (say, 100), can cause a big slowdown in
  table opening time, SHOW TABLE status, etc.
- query plans may be different from the old ones.

recovery, tolerate clustered index records whose externally stored
columns have not been written.  This should remove the assertion failures
that were reported as Mantis issue#58, issue#62, issue#64.

trx_is_recv(): New function: TRUE if this transaction is rolling back
an incomplete transaction in crash recovery.

enum trx_rbmode: Rollback modes: no rollback, normal rollback, crash recovery.

btr_cur_pessimistic_delete(), btr_free_externally_stored_field(),
btr_rec_free_externally_stored_fields():
Replace the ibool parameter with enum trx_rbmode.

btr_free_externally_stored_field(): If field_ref is zero, return
but assert ut_a(rbmode == RB_RECOVERY).  Unless InnoDB has crashed
while inserting a clustered index record, field_ref should not be zero.

btr_rec_free_updated_extern_fields(): Add the parameter enum trx_rbmode.

btr_cur_pessimistic_update(): Pass the rbmode parameter to
btr_rec_free_updated_extern_fields().

row_undo_ins(), row_undo_mod_upd_del_sec(): If row_build_index_entry()
fails, assert trx_is_recv() and skip this secondary index.

row_undo_mod_upd_del_sec(): Empty the heap at the end of each loop
iteration in order to conserve memory and to reduce the number of
low-level memory allocations.

buf_flush_init_for_writing(), buf_LRU_block_remove_hashed_page():
Dump the page frame featuring the incorrect FIL_PAGE_TYPE along with the
page_zip->data that might contain an earlier version of the page.

buf_block_align() on a non-file page frame that was created in
btr_cur_pessimistic_insert(), to see if a record fits on a compressed
page by itself.  These assertions caused an assertion failure in
buf_block_align() in innodb_bug36172.test.

page_zip_write_rec(), page_zip_write_header(): Remove the assertion
that calls buf_frame_get_page_zip().

mem_heap_create_block(): Compute len and call mem_area_alloc() only once.

mem_heap_block_free(): Call mem_area_free() only once.

This fix makes two basic changes in blob handling:
(The bug was introduced in r2252)

1) The blob prefixes are no longer stored in the undo if
  a) We are modifying a delete marked record and
  b) The record was delete marked by an already committed trx.

2) When building old row version to check if one of these versions
can hold an implicit lock on the record we stop our probe if
  a) The version is delete marked and
  b) The delete marking is done by a trx which is different from
     the current active trx on the record.

  branches/5.1   issue# 4
  
  Fixed a timing hole where a thread dropping an index can free the
  in-memory index struct while another thread is still using
  that structure to remove entries from adaptive hash index belonging
  to one of the pages that belongs to the index being dropped.
  
  The fix is to have a reference counter in the index struct and to
  wait for this counter to drop to zero beforing freeing the struct.

Fix the failing innodb-index test by adjusting the result to a new
MySQL behavior. The author of the behavioral change
Davi Arnaut <davi@mysql.com>, BZR-r2667:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mysql/mysql-server/mysql-5.1/revision/davi%40mysql.com-20080617141221-8yre8ys9j4uw3xx5?start_revid=joerg%40mysql.com-20080630105418-7qoe5ehomgrcdb89
has been asked if this change is intended:
http://lists.mysql.com/internals/35805

Regardless of the answer we need to adjust to the new behavior to get
the test to succeed. If they switch back, then we will revert this commit.

Add a space in a warning message. No functional change to the code.
The original message is "invalid innodb_file_format_checkvalue;...".
The new one is "invalid innodb_file_format_check value;..."

Fixes issue# 51 - by removing the negative test cases that produce
warnings. The warnings cause mysql-test-run to fail.

Those negative test cases will be moved to separate test/result files.
