CASES RESETS DATA POINTER TO SMAL

ISSUE: Myisamchk doing sort recover
       on a table reduces data_file_length.
       Maximum size of data file decreases,
       lesser number of rows are stored.

SOLUTION: Size of data_file_length is
          fixed to the original length.

Poll in fil_rename_tablespace() after setting ::stop_ios flag can
result in a hang because the other thread actually dispatching the IO
won't wake IO helper threads or flush the tablespace before starting
wait in fil_mutex_enter_and_prepare_for_io().

Fix for #36428/#38364 backported into 5.0.

BUG#13519696 - 62940: SELECT RESULTS VARY WITH VERSION AND
WITH/WITHOUT INDEX RANGE SCAN
BUG#13453382 - REGRESSION SINCE 5.1.39, RANGE OPTIMIZER WRONG
RESULTS WITH DECIMAL CONVERSION
BUG#13463488 - 63437: CHAR & BETWEEN WITH INDEX RETURNS WRONG
RESULT AFTER MYSQL 5.1.
Those are all cases where the range optimizer got it wrong
with > and >=.

and some Valgrind instrumentation.

- Reverting the patch for Bug # 12584302
  The patch will be reverted in 5.1 and 5.5.
  The patch will not be reverted in 5.6, the change will
  be properly documented in 5.6.
- Backporting DBUG_ASSERT not to crash on '0000-01-00'
  (already fixed in mysql-trunk (5.6))

Introducing new collations:
utf8_general_mysql500_ci and ucs2_general_mysql500_ci,
to reproduce behaviour of utf8_general_ci and ucs2_general_ci
from mysql-5.1.23 (and earlier).

The collations are added to simplify upgrade from mysql-5.1.23 and earlier.

Note: The patch does not make new server start over old data automatically.
Some manual upgrade procedures are assumed.

Paul: please get in touch with me to discuss upgrade procedures
when documenting this bug.

Minor post-fix to avoid build failure when built with
Werror.

Relax a bogus debug assertion.

Test extra/rpl_tests/rpl_extra_col_master.test (used by
rpl_extra_col_master_*) ends with the active connection pointing to the
slave. Thus, the two last tests never succeed in changing the binlog
format of the master away from 'row'. With correct active connection
(master) tests fail for binlog 'statement' and 'mixed' formats.

Tests rpl_extra_col_master_* only run when binary log format is
row.  Statement and mix replication do not make sense in this
tests since it will try to execute statements on columns that do
not exist.  This fix is basically a backport from mysql-5.5, see
changes done as part of BUG 39934.

When mode==BUF_KEEP_OLD, buffered inserts are being merged to the page.
It is possible that a read request for a page was pending while the page
was freed in DROP INDEX or DROP TABLE. In these cases, it is OK (although
useless) to merge the buffered changes to the freed page.

ISSUES WITH COPYING PARTITIONED INNODB TABLES FROM LINUX TO WINDOWS

This problem was already fixed in mysql-trunk as part of bug #11755924.  I am 
backporting the fix to mysql-5.1.  

                     routines.

mysqldump in xml mode did not dump routines, events or
triggers.

This patch fixes this issue by fixing the if conditions
that disallowed the dump of above mentioned objects in
xml mode, and added the required code to enable dump
in xml format.

If we meet DB_TOO_MANY_CONCURRENT_TRXS during the execution tab_create_graph from row_create_table_for_mysql(), .ibd file for the table should be created already but was not deleted for the error handling.

Fixed it to work with "--repeat" option.

Fixed the testcase using timestamp logic while doing grep from the error file.

If init_command was incorrect, we couldn't let users execute
queries, but we couldn't report the issue to the client either
as it does not expect error messages before even sending a
command. Thus, we simply disconnected them without throwing
a clear error.

We now go through the proper sequence once (without executing
any user statements) so we can report back what the problem
is. Only then do we disconnect the user.

As always, root remains unaffected by this as init_command is
(still) not executed for them.

InnoDB: Remove HAVE_purify, UNIV_INIT_MEM_TO_ZERO, UNIV_SET_MEM_TO_ZERO.

The compile-time setting HAVE_purify can mask potential bugs.
It is being set in PB2 Valgrind runs. We should simply get rid of it,
and replace it with UNIV_MEM_INVALID() to declare uninitialized memory
as such in Valgrind-instrumented binaries.

os_mem_alloc_large(), ut_malloc_low(): Remove the parameter set_to_zero.

ut_malloc(): Define as a macro that invokes ut_malloc_low().

buf_pool_init(): Never initialize the buffer pool frames. All pages
must be initialized before flushing them to disk.

mem_heap_alloc(): Never initialize the allocated memory block.

os_mem_alloc_nocache(), ut_test_malloc(): Unused function, remove.

COMMUNICATION PACKETS, ERROR_CODE: 1160

Addendum: for some queries table->in_use might be NULL -
check it.

COMMUNICATION PACKETS, ERROR_CODE: 1160

If idle FEDERATED table is evicted from the table cache when 
a connection to remote server is lost, query that initiated 
eviction may fail.
If this query is executed by slave SQL thread it may fail as well.

An error of close was stored in diagnostics area, which was later
attributed to the statement that caused eviction.

With this patch FEDERATED clears an error of close.

Integer overflow causes division by zero.

The counter handler_read_key (SSV::ha_read_key_count) is incremented 
incorrectly.

The mysql server maintains a per thread system_status_var (SSV)
object.  This object contains among other things the counter
SSV::ha_read_key_count. The purpose of this counter is to measure the
number of requests to read a row based on a key (or the number of
index lookups).

This counter was wrongly incremented in the
ha_innobase::innobase_get_index(). The fix removes
this increment statement (for both innodb and innodb_plugin).

The various callers of the innobase_get_index() was checked to
determine if anybody must increment this counter (if they first call
innobase_get_index() and then perform an index lookup).  It was found
that no caller of innobase_get_index() needs to worry about the
SSV::ha_read_key_count counter.
