Original commentary:

Bug #37348: Crash in or immediately after JOIN::make_sum_func_list
            
The optimizer pulls up aggregate functions which should be aggregated in
an outer select. At some point it may substitute such a function for a field
in the temporary table. The setup_copy_fields function doesn't take this
into account and may overrun the copy_field buffer.
            
Fixed by filtering out the fields referenced through the specialized
reference for aggregates (Item_aggregate_ref).
Added an assertion to make sure bugs that cause similar discrepancy 
don't go undetected.

updates

Attempt to execute trigger or stored function with multi-UPDATE
which used - but didn't update - a table that was also used by
the calling statement led to an error. Read-only reference to
tables used in the calling statement should be allowed.
 
This problem was caused by the fact that check for conflicting
use of tables in SP/triggers was performed in open_tables(),
and in case of multi-UPDATE we didn't know exact lock type at
this stage.

We solve the problem by moving this check to lock_tables(), so
it can be performed after exact lock types for tables used by
multi-UPDATE are determined.


mysql-test/r/trigger.result:
  Results for the added test case is added.
mysql-test/t/trigger.test:
  A new test case is added, verifying correct table multi-update
  conflict resolution, both read-only and write.
sql/sql_base.cc:
  The check for conflicting use of tables in SP/triggers is moved
  to lock_tables(), to be performed after the exact lock types
  have been determined. Also, an assert is added to open_ltable()
  to ensure this func is not used in a prelocked context.

  
UNION could convert fixed-point FLOAT(M,D)/DOUBLE(M,D) columns  
to FLOAT/DOUBLE when aggregating data types from the SELECT  
substatements. While there is nothing particularly wrong with  
this behavior, especially when M is greater than the hardware  
precision limits, it could be confusing in cases when all  
SELECT statements in a union have the same  
FLOAT(M,D)/DOUBLE(M,D) columns with equal precision  
specifications listed in the same position.  
  
Since the manual is quite vague on what data type should be  
returned in such cases, the bug was fixed by implementing the  
most 'expected' behavior: do not convert FLOAT(M,D)/DOUBLE(M,D)  
to anything else if all SELECT statements in a UNION have the  
same precision for that column.

  Added a test case for bug #43432.

The problem is that the read and write methods of the shared
memory transport (protocol) didn't react to asynchronous close
events, which could lead to a lock up as the client would wait
(until time out) for a server response that will never come.

The solution is to also wait for close events while waiting
for I/O from or to the server.

When add an aliase name after NAME_CONST, the aliase name will be overwrite.
      
NAME_CONST will re-set the field's name only if there isn't an aliase in the
function fix-fields().
If there is an aliase, NAME_CONST doesn't re-set the field's name and keeps the old
name.

due to name_const substitution

Problem:
"In general, statements executed within a stored procedure
are written to the binary log using the same rules that
would apply were the statements to be executed in standalone
fashion. Some special care is taken when logging procedure
statements because statement execution within procedures
is not quite the same as in non-procedure context".

For example, each reference to a local variable in SP's
statements is replaced by NAME_CONST(var_name, var_value).
Queries like
"CREATE TABLE ... SELECT FUNC(local_var ..."
are logged as
"CREATE TABLE ... SELECT FUNC(NAME_CONST("local_var", var_value) ..."
that leads to differrent field names and
might result in "Incorrect column name" if var_value is long enough.

Fix: in 5.x we'll issue a warning in such a case.
In 6.0 we should get rid of NAME_CONST().

Note: this issue and change should be described in the documentation
("Binary Logging of Stored Programs").

Fine-tuning. Broke out comparison into method by
suggestion of Davi. Clarified comments. Reverting
test-case which I find too brittle; proper test
case in 5.1+.

We allow security-contexts with NULL users (for
system-threads and for unauthenticated users).
If a non-SUPER-user tried to KILL such a thread,
we tried to compare the user-fields to see whether
they owned that thread. Comparing against NULL was
not a good idea.
      
If KILLer does not have SUPER-privilege, we
specifically check whether both KILLer and KILLee
have a non-NULL user before testing for string-
equality. If either is NULL, we reject the KILL.

After the table is compressed by the myisampack utility,
opening the table by the server produces valgrind warnings.
      
This happens because when we try to read a record into the buffer
we alway assume that the remaining buffer to read is always equal 
to word size(4 or 8 or 2 bytes) we read. Sometimes we have 
remaining buffer size less than word size and trying to read the 
entire word size will end up in valgrind errors.
            
Fixed by reading byte by byte when we detect the remaining buffer 
size is less than the word size.

myisam/mi_packrec.c:
  Fixed fill_buffer() to read byte by byte when the remaining 
  buffer size is less than word size.

Added a workaround and a configure check to test whether 
isinf() is affected by the GCC bug #39228. 
       
Since no code in MySQL server is currently affected by that 
bug, the patch is actually a safeguard for possible future 
code modifications. No test cases or changelog entries are 
needed. 


configure.in:
  Added a configure check to test whether isinf() is safe to use
  in C code.

  Added a workaround for GCC bug #39228.

When do 'insert delayed' operation, the time_zone info doesn't be keeped in the row info.
So when we do insert sometime later, time_zone didn't write into binlog.
This will cause wrong result for timestamp column in slave.

Our solution is that adding time_zone info with the delayed-row and
restoring time_zone from row-info when execute that row in the furture by another thread.
So we can write correct time_zone info into binlog and got correct result in slave.


mysql-test/r/rpl_timezone.result:

   - Tests showed that there are unfortunately no improvements of this tests
     in MySQL 5.1 which could be ported back to 5.0.
   - Remove a superfluous "--sleep 1" around line 195

When asking what database is selected, client expected
to *always* get an answer from the server.

We now handle failure more gracefully.

See comments in ticket for a discussion of what happens,
and how things interlock.

  Handle empty result-sets gracefully, as opposed
  to just result sets with n>0 items that may themselves
  be empty.

Don't compare string literals as it results in unspecified behavior.

Unknown timezone specifications are properly rejected
by the server, but are copied into tz_storage before
rejection, and hence is retained until end of server 
life. With sufficiently large bogus timezone specs, 
it is easy to exhaust system memory.
      
Allocation of memory for a copy of the timezone
name is delayed until after verification of validity,
at the cost of a memcpy of the timezone info. This 
only happens once, future lookups will hit the cached
structure.
