Removed misleading comments.

             bitmap_is_set(table->read_set, field_index))

UPDATE on an InnoDB table modifying the same index that is used
to satisfy the WHERE condition could trigger a debug assertion
under some circumstances.

Since for engines with the HA_PRIMARY_KEY_IN_READ_INDEX flag
set results of an index scan on a secondary index are appended
by the primary key value, if a query involves only columns from
the primary key and a secondary index, the latter is considered
to be covering.

That tricks mysql_update() to mark for reading only columns
from the secondary index when it does an index scan to retrieve
rows to update in case a part of that key is also being
updated. However, there may be other columns in WHERE that are
part of the primary key, but not the secondary one.

What we actually want to do in this case is to add index
columns to the existing WHERE columns bitmap rather than
replace it.

Problem: one with SELECT privilege on some table may dump other table
performing COM_TABLE_DUMP command due to missed check of the table name.

Fix: check the table name.

This fixes a recently introduced regression, where a variable is
not defined for the embedded server. Although the embedded server
is not supported in 5.0, make it at least compile.

OpenBSD releases.

Apply patch from Brad Smith, thanks!

Some of the test cases reference to binlog position and
these position numbers are written into result explicitly.
It is difficult to maintain if log event format changes. 

There are a couple of cases explicit position number appears, 
we handle them in different ways
A. 'CHANGE MASTER ...' with MASTER_LOG_POS or/and RELAY_LOG_POS options
   Use --replace_result to mask them.
B. 'SHOW BINLOG EVENT ...'
   Replaced by show_binlog_events.inc or wait_for_binlog_event.inc. 
   show_binlog_events.inc file's function is enhanced by given
   $binlog_file and $binlog_limit.
C. 'SHOW SLAVE STATUS', 'show_slave_status.inc' and 'show_slave_status2.inc'
   For the test cases just care a few items in the result of 'SHOW SLAVE STATUS',
   only the items related to each test case are showed.
   'show_slave_status.inc' is rebuild, only the given items in $status_items
   will be showed.
   'check_slave_is_running.inc' and 'check_slave_no_error.inc'
   and 'check_slave_param.inc' are auxiliary files helping
   to show running status and error information easily.

            data directory name command

The check_db_name function has been modified to validate tails of
#mysql50#-prefixed database names for compliance with MySQL 5.0
database name encoding rules (the check_table_name function call
has been reused).

Problem: The test case mysqldump reads a file that must
be world-readable. The test did not force the file to be
world-readable, so if the tree was branched with a umask
of 0077, the test would fail.
Fix: chmod the file.

Server crashes on 64bit linux with 'double free or corruption'
message, on 32bit mysql-test-run silently fails on bootstrap
stage. The problem is that FreeState() is called twice
for init_settings struct in _db_end_ function.
The fix is to remove superfluous FreeState() call.
Additional fix:
fixed discrepancy of result file when
debug & valgrind options are enabled
for MTR.

Bug #50087 Interval arithmetic for Event_queue_element is not portable.

Subtraction of two unsigned months yielded a (very large) positive value.
Conversion of this to a signed value was not necessarily well defined.
              
Solution: do the subtraction on signed values.

Analysis showed that in case of accessing I_S table
ROUTINES we perform unnecessary allocations
with get_field() function for every processed row that
in their turn causes significant memory growth.
the fix is to avoid use of get_field().

mode
      
Post-push fix after backporting the patch to 5.1-bugteam:

  1 - changed the name of some variables to be equivalent to pe.
  2 - fixed that patch to mark a statement as unsafe when both a
  self-logging eng. and regular eng. are accessed and one of them
  is updated.

Post-fix: Updated a test case after the patch for BUG#50410,
because the patch makes ndb to run in the row format and as
such unsafe warning messages are not printed out.

            ha_myisam::index_first(uchar*)") at assert.c:81

Single-table DELETE crash/assertion similar to single-table
UPDATE bug 14272.

Same resolution as for the bug 14272:
Don't run index scan when we should use quick select.
This could cause failures because there are table handlers (like federated)
that support quick select scanning but do not support index scanning.

MTR sporadically reported that rpl_do_grant does not
clean up after itself.

We fix this by backporting BUG 50984 fix. This deploys
missing synchronization between master and slave.

Additionally, it also fixes the check_testcase for
rpl_tmp_table_and_DDL.

      NULL from outer join query
      
      Problem: optimising MIN/MAX() queries without GROUP BY clause
      by replacing the aggregate expression with a constant, we may set it
      to NULL disregarding the fact that there may be outer joins involved.
      
      Fix: don't replace MIN/MAX() with NULL if there're outer joins.
      
      Note: the fix itself is just
      - if (!count)
      + if (!count && !outer_tables)
          set to NULL
      
      The rest of the patch eliminates repeated code to improve speed
      and for easy maintenance of the code.

update statements
      
Only SELECT statements report any examined rows in the slow
log. Slow UPDATE, DELETE and INSERT statements report 0 rows
examined, unless the statement has a condition including a
SELECT substatement.
      
This patch adds counting of examined rows for the UPDATE and
DELETE statements. An INSERT ... VALUES statement will still 
not report any rows as examined.

Problem: The rpl_ndb did not set binlog_format explicitly. Since
the default is binlog_format=statement, it means that the suite
ran with that. ndb does not support binlog_format=statement,
and many tests were skipped because they sourced
include/have_binlog_format_row_or_mixed.inc
Fix: set binlog_format=row explicitly in the configuration file
for the rpl_ndb suite.

      
MySQL handles the join syntax "JOIN ... USING( field1,
... )" and natural joins by building the same parse tree as
a corresponding join with an "ON t1.field1 = t2.field1 ..."
expression would produce. This parse tree was not cleaned up
properly in the following scenario. If a thread tries to
lock some tables and finds that the tables were dropped and
re-created while waiting for the lock, it cleans up column
references in the statement by means a per-statement free
list. But if the statement was part of a stored procedure,
column references on the stored procedure's free list
weren't cleaned up and thus contained pointers to freed
objects.
      
Fixed by adding a call to clean up the current prepared
statement's free list.

This is a backport from MySQL 5.1

remember range endpoints

The Loose Index Scan optimization keeps track of a sequence
of intervals. For the current interval it maintains the
current interval's endpoints. But the maximum endpoint was
not stored in the SQL layer; rather, it relied on the
storage engine to retain this value in-between reads. By
coincidence this holds for MyISAM and InnoDB. Not for the
partitioning engine, however.

Fixed by making the key values iterator 
(QUICK_RANGE_SELECT) keep track of the current maximum endpoint.
This is also more efficient as we save a call through the
handler API in case of open-ended intervals.

The code to calculate endpoints was extracted into 
separate methods in QUICK_RANGE_SELECT, and it was possible to
get rid of some code duplication as part of fix.

that generated multiple result sets (such as a stored procedure or a
multi-statement command) would leave the connection unusable. (Bug #42373)

A side-effect of this bug fix is to make MYSQL_INIT_COMMAND settings ignored
when connecting from within the server, but none of the existing mechanisms
for connecting from within the server use or need to set the initial command.

Backport of the patch for 5.1-bugteam.

MYSQL_BIN_LOG m_table_map_version member and it's associated 
functions were not used in the logic of binlogging and replication,
this patch removed all related code.

When using a non-transactional table (t1) on the master 
and with autocommit disabled, no COMMIT is recorded 
in the binary log ending the statement. Therefore, if 
the slave has t1 in a transactional engine, then it will 
be as if a transaction is started but never ends. This is
actually BUG#29288 all over again.

We fix this by cherrypicking the cset for BUG#29288 which
was pushed to a later mysql version. The revision picked
was: mats@sun.com-20090923094343-bnheplq8n95opjay .

Additionally, a test case for covering the scenario depicted
in the bug report is included in this cset.

The fix actually reverts the change introduced
by the patch for bug 51494.
The fact is that patches for bugs 52177&48419
fix bugs 51194&50575 as well.

            truncates text/blob to 766 chars

mysqldump and SELECT ... INTO OUTFILE truncated long BLOB/TEXT
values to size of 766 bytes (MAX_FIELD_WIDTH or 255 * 3 + 1).

The select_export::send_data method has been modified to
reallocate a conversion buffer for long field data.
