Bug#13116514 - CREATE LOGFILE GROUP INITIAL_SIZE & UNDO_BUFFER_SIZE FAILS
      
      Fixing parser to accept the syntax: to give a size with suffix 'M', eg. undo_buffer_size=10M (M for mega bytes), in 'create logfile group' command.

i_s_innodb_buffer_page_get_info(): Do not read the buffer block frame
contents of read-fixed blocks, because it may be invalid or
uninitialized. When we are going to decompress or read a block, we
will put it into buf_pool->page_hash and buf_pool->LRU, read-fix the
block and release the mutexes for the duration of the reading or
decompression.

BY BINLOG_KILLED_SIMULATE.TEST
Merging fix from mysql-5.1

BY BINLOG_KILLED_SIMULATE.TEST
      
'mysqbinlog' tool creates a temporary file while 
preparing LOAD DATA QUERY. These files needs to be deleted
at the end of the test script otherwise these files are
left out in the daily-run machines, causing
"no space on device issues"
      
Fix: 
Delete them at the end of these test scripts
1) execute mysqlbinlog with --local-load option to
create these files in a specified tmpdir
2) delete the tmpdir at the end of the test script

                                 STRING CONVERSION FUNCTIONS
            
Problem:
While executing the prepared statement, user variable is
set to memory which would be freed at the end of
execution.
If the statement is executed again, valgrind throws
error when accessing this pointer.
                  
Analysis:
                
1. First time when Item_func_set_user_var::check is called,
   memory is allocated for "value" to store the result.
   (In the call to copy_if_not_alloced).
2. While sending the result, Item_func_set_user_var::check
   is called again. But, this time, its called with
   "use_result_field" set to true. 
   As a result, we call result_field->val_str(&value).
3. Here memory allocated for "value" gets freed. And "value"
   gets set to "result_field", with "str_length" being that of
   result_field's.
4. In the call to JOIN::cleanup, result_field's memory gets
   freed as this is allocated in a chunk as part of the
   temporary table which is needed to execute the query.
5. Next time, when execute of the same statement is called,
   "value" will be set to memory which is already freed.
   Valgrind error occurs as "str_length" is positive 
   (set at Step 3)
                  
Note that user variables list is stored as part of the Lex object
in set_var_list. Hence the persistance across executions.
            
Solution:
Patch for Bug#11764371 fixed in mysql-5.6+ fixes this problem 
as well.So backporting the same.
            
In the solution for Bug#11764371, we create another object of 
user_var and repoint it to temp_table's field. As a result while 
deleting the alloced buffer in Step 3, since the cloned object 
does not own the buffer, deletion will not happen.
So at step 5 when we execute the statement second time, the 
original object will be used and since deletion did not happen 
valgrind will not complain about dangling pointer.

              USING THE PLUGIN INTERFACE.

ISSUE: No support for floating-point plugin
       system variables.

SOLUTION: Allowing plugins to define and expose floating-point
          system variables of type double. MYSQL_SYSVAR_DOUBLE
          and MYSQL_THDVAR_DOUBLE are added.

ISSUE: Fractional part of the def, min, max values of system
       variables are ignored.

SOLUTION: Adding functions that are used to store the raw
          representation of a double in the raw bits of unsigned
          longlong in a way that the binary representation
          remains the same.

ESCAPED WITH BACKSLASH

Problem:

When the CREATE TABLE statement used COMMENTS with escape sequences like
'foo\'s', InnoDB did not parse is correctly when trying to extract the
foreign key information.  Because of this, the foreign keys specified
in the CREATE TABLE statement were not created.

Solution:

Make the InnoDB internal parser aware of escape sequences.

MYSQL DB FROM REMOTE 5.0.96 SERVER

Problem: mysqldump tool assumes the existence of
general_log and slow_log tables in the server.
If mysqldump tool executes on a old server where
there are no log tables like these, mysqldump tool
fails.

Analysis: general_log and slow_log tables are added
in the ignore-table list as part of bug-26121 fix
causes bug-45740 (MYSQLDUMP DOESN'T DUMP GENERAL_LOG
AND SLOW_QUERY CAUSES RESTORE PROBLEM). As part of
the bug-45740 fix, mysqldump tool adds create table
queries for these two tables. But the fix assumes
that on all the servers, general_log and slow_log
will be there. If the new mysqldump tool is executed
against a old server where there are no general_log
and slow_log, the mysqldump tool fails with an error
that 'there is no general_log table'.

Fix: When mysqldump tool is trying to retrieve general_log
and slow_log table structures, first the tool should
check their existence of these tables in the server
instead of trying to dump it blindly.

The problem was in get_partition_id_cols_range_for_endpoint
and cmp_rec_and_tuple_prune, which stepped one partition too long.

Solution was to move a small portion of logic to cmp_rec_and_tuple_prune,
to simplify both get_partition_id_cols_range_for_endpoint and
get_partition_id_cols_list_for_endpoint.

ibuf_insert_to_index_page_low() add a DBUG_RETURN(NULL).

INSERT BUFFER MERGE

Problem:

When the record is merged from the change buffer to the actual page,
in a particular condition, it is assumed that the deleted rec will
be re-used by the inserted rec.  With this assumption the lock is
restored on the pointer to the deleted rec itself, thinking that
it is pointing to the newly inserted rec.

Solution:

Just before restoring the lock, update the rec pointer to point
to the newly inserted record.  An assert has been added to verify
this.  This assert will fail without the fix and will pass with
the fix.

In order to keep error message numbers stable between GA releases, we
can not now add a new error message to 5.1/5.5 as this message would get 
a number now used in 5.6.

This patch enforces this by adding a 5.1/5.5 specific check when processing
the error message file. If a new error message is added, building will
abort and report an error.

INNODB_FAST_SHUTDOWN IS 2

Problem:

When innodb_fast_shutdown is set to 2 and the master thread enters
flush loop, under some circumstances it will not be able to exit it.
This may lead to a shutdown hanging.

This is happening because of the following:

1. In the flush_loop block of code, if the srv_fast_shutdown is
   equal to 2 (very fast shutdown), then we do not flush dirty
   pages in buffer pool to disk.
 
2. In the same flush_loop block of code, if the number of dirty
   pages is more than user specified limit, we go to step 1.

This results in infinite loop.

Solution:

When we are in the process of doing a very fast shutdown, don't
do step 2 above.

When a record contains no user data bytes (such as when the PRIMARY
KEY is an empty string and all secondary index fields are NULL or the
empty string), page_zip_decompress() could fail to set the record
heap_no correctly.

page_zip_decompress_node_ptrs(), page_zip_decompress_sec(),
page_zip_decompress_clust(): Set heap_no also at the end of the
compressed data stream.

                           In log_event.h
      
DESCRIPTION:
Due to inclusion of an implementation file, namely 'rpl_tblmap.cc'
in a header file, namely 'log_event.h'; linker errors occur if
log_event.h is included in an application containing multiple source
files, such as in the case of Binlog API.
      
Binlog API requires including log_event.h in its source files;
which leads to multiple definition errors, for functions defined
in rpl_tblmap.cc for class 'table_mapping'.
            
FIX:
Change the inclusion from header file(log_event.h) to source files
using this header and have flag MYSQL_CLIENT set. The only file in
the current server repository is mysqlbinlog.cc.

== Analysis == 
Both change buffer pages and on-disk indexes pages are marked as
FIL_PAGE_INDEX. So all ibuf index pages will classify as INDEX with NULL
table_name and index_name.

== Solution ==
A new page type for ibuf data pages named I_S_PAGE_TYPE_IBUF is defined. All
these pages whose index_id equal (DICT_IBUF_ID_MIN + IBUF_SPACE_ID) will 
classify as IBUF_DATA instead of INDEX in INNODB_BUFFER_PAGE 
and INNODB_BUFFER_PAGE_LRU.

This fix is only for IS reporting, both on-disk and buffer pool structures
keep unchanged.

               WITH COMPOSITE KEY COLUMNS

Problem:-
While running a SELECT query with several AGGR(DISTINCT) function 
and these are referring to different field of same composite key, 
Returned incorrect value.

Analysis:-

In a table, where we have composite key like (a,b,c)
and when we give a query like

select COUNT(DISTINCT b), SUM(DISTINCT a) from ....

here, we first make a list of items in Aggr(distinct) function
(which is a, b), where order of item doesn't matter. 
and then we see, whether we have a composite key where the prefix 
of index columns matches the items of the aggregation function.
(in this case we have a,b,c).

if yes, so we can use loose index scan and we need not perform 
duplicate removal to distinct in our aggregate function.

In our table, we traverse column marked with <-- and get the result as
(a,b,c)      count(distinct b)           sum(distinct a)
             treated as count b          treated as sum(a)
(1,1,2)<--              1                      1		
(1,2,2)<--              1++=2                  1+1=2
(1,2,3)		
(2,1,2)<--              2++=3                  1+1+2=4
(2,2,2)<--              3++=4                  1+1+2+2=6
(2,2,3)

result will be 4,6, but it should be (2,3)

As in this case, our assumption is incorrect. If we have
query like 
select count(distinct a,b), sum(distinct a,b)from ..
then we can use loose index scan

Solution:-
In our query, when we have more then one aggr(distinct) function 
then they should refer to same  fields like

select count(distinct a,b), sum(distinct a,b) from .. 

-->we can use loose scan index as both aggr(distinct) refer to same fields a,b.

If they are referring to different field like

select count(distinct a), sum(distinct b) from .. 

-->will not use loose scan index as both aggr(distinct) refer to different fields.
