When mysqldadmin is run with sleep and count options,
it goes into an infinite loop and keeps executing the
specified command.

This happened because the statement, responsible for
decrementing the count value, was missing.

Fixed by adding a statement which will decrement the
count value for each iteration.


client/mysqladmin.cc:
  Bug#58221 : mysqladmin --sleep=x --count=x keeps looping
  
  Added a condition to check and decrement the count
  value stored in nr_iterations per iteration.
mysql-test/r/mysqladmin.result:
  Added a testcase for Bug#58221.
mysql-test/t/mysqladmin.test:
  Added a testcase for Bug#58221.

It is a backported patch.

Backport to 5.0.

/*![:version:] Query Code */, where [:version:] is a sequence of 5 
digits representing the mysql server version(e.g /*!50200 ... */),
is a special comment that the query in it can be executed on those 
servers whose versions are larger than the version appearing in the 
comment. It leads to a security issue when slave's version is larger 
than master's. A malicious user can improve his privileges on slaves. 
Because slave SQL thread is running with SUPER privileges, so it can
execute queries that he/she does not have privileges on master.
      
This bug is fixed with the logic below: 
- To replace '!' with ' ' in the magic comments which are not applied on
  master. So they become common comments and will not be applied on slave.
      
- Example:
  'INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (1) /*!10000, (2)*/ /*!99999 ,(3)*/
   will be binlogged as
  'INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (1) /*!10000, (2)*/ /* 99999 ,(3)*/

        IA64 and some other arcitectures use different float rounding mode and
        i find no decent way to make it consistent.
        So the test changed to be insensitive to this.

When mysqldump tries to dump information in xml format,
the result does not contain field level comments.

In order to retrieve various informations for a field/column,
mysqldump currently uses 'show fields from <tab>' statement.
The attributes returned by the statement lacks the information
regarding field comments.

Fixed by changing the query to one that probes I_S to retrieve
required field informations, including the field comment.


client/mysqldump.c:
  Bug#13618 : mysqldump --xml omits comment on table field.
  
  Replaced the 'show fields' command by a statement that
  queries I_S, in order to retrieve information on all the
  attributes that 'show fields' returns along-with an additional
  column_comment information.

Problem: the auxiliary test files rpl_start_server.inc and rpl_stop_server.inc
write a file that is later read by mtr. The bug was that the file was written
with platform-dependent newline terminators, i.e., \r\n on windows, whereas mtr
only understands \n.
Fix: write the file so that it uses \n on all platforms.


mysql-test/include/rpl_start_server.inc:
  Force test to use \n instead of platform-dependent newline terminator.
mysql-test/include/rpl_stop_server.inc:
  Force test to use \n instead of platform-dependent newline terminator.

            null from mysql_store_result.

mysqlslap segfaults at a point when it tries to fetch rows from
the result set.

Under some circumstances, mysql_store_result can return 'NULL',
even after query execution (mysql_query) succeeds, and eventually
a segfault might occur if same unchecked return value is passed
to mysql_fetch_row.

Fixed by adding a check on mysql_store_result's return value.


client/mysqlslap.c:
  Bug#59109 : mysqlslap crashes on mysql_fetch_row after ignoring
              null from mysql_store_result.
  
  Added a check on mysql_store_result's return value. A 'NULL' return
  value here shows an erroneous situation as mysql_field_count has already
  reported a non-zero value.

other crashes

Some string manipulating SQL functions use a shared string object intended to
contain an immutable empty string. This object was used by the SQL function
SUBSTRING_INDEX() to return an empty string when one argument was of the wrong
datatype. If the string object was then modified by the sql function INSERT(),
undefined behavior ensued.

Fixed by instead modifying the string object representing the function's
result value whenever string manipulating SQL functions return an empty
string.

Relevant code has also been documented.

      
The test case fails with out of memory while updating a table
with several multi-megabytes sized rows. This can probably be too
exhausting for PB2 env.
      
The quick fix here is to reduce the size of the biggest
row (256MB) so that it becomes a little smaller (64MB).

INVOKER-security view access check wrong".

When privilege checks were done for tables used from an 
INVOKER-security view which in its turn was used from 
a DEFINER-security view connection's active security
context was incorrectly used instead of security context
with privileges of the second view's creator.

This meant that users which had enough rights to access
the DEFINER-security view and as result were supposed to 
be able successfully access it were unable to do so in 
cases when they didn't have privileges on underlying tables 
of the INVOKER-security view.

This problem was caused by the fact that for INVOKER-security
views TABLE_LIST::security_ctx member for underlying tables
were set to 0 even in cases when particular view was used from 
another DEFINER-security view. This meant that when checks of
privileges on these underlying tables was done in
setup_tables_and_check_access() active connection security 
context was used instead of context corresponding to the 
creator of caller view.

This fix addresses the problem by ensuring that underlying
tables of an INVOKER-security view inherit security context
from the view and thus correct security context is used for
privilege checks on underlying tables in cases when such view 
is used from another view with DEFINER-security.

mysql-test/r/view_grant.result:

  INVOKER-security views, including test for bug #58499

  Added coverage for various combinations of DEFINER and
  INVOKER-security views, including test for bug #58499

sql/sql_view.cc:
  When opening a non-suid view ensure that its underlying 
  tables will get the same security context as use for
  checking privileges on the view, i.e. security context
  of view invoker. This context can be different from the
  security context which is currently active for connection 
  in cases when this non-suid view is used from a view with
  suid security. Inheriting security context in such situation
  allows correctly apply privileges of creator of suid view
  in checks for tables of non-suid view (since in this 
  situation creator/definer of suid view serves as invoker
  for non-suid view).

        Item_func_spatial_collection::fix_length_and_dec didn't call parent's method, so
        the maybe_null was set to '0' after it. But in this case the result was
        just NULL, that caused wrong behaviour.

tmptable needed

The function DEFAULT() works by modifying the the data buffer pointers (often
referred to as 'record' or 'table record') of its argument. This modification
is done during name resolution (fix_fields().) Unfortunately, the same
modification is done when creating a temporary table, because default values
need to propagate to the new table.

Fixed by skipping the pointer modification for fields that are arguments to
the DEFAULT function.

Followup: had forgotten to update mysqltest.test due to changed output - duh!

The problem from a user point of view was that on Solaris the
time related functions (e.g. NOW(), SYSDATE(), etc) would always
return a fixed time.

This bug was happening due to a logic in the time retrieving
wrapper function which would only call the time() function every
half second. This interval between calls would be calculated
using the gethrtime() and the logic relied on the fact that time
returned by it is monotonic.

Unfortunately, due to bugs in the gethrtime() implementation,
there are some cases where the time returned by it can drift
(See Solaris bug id 6600939), potentially causing the interval
calculation logic to fail.

The solution is to retrieve the correct time whenever a drift in
the time returned by gethrtime() is detected. That is, do not
use the cached time whenever the values (previous and current)
returned by gethrtime() are not monotonically increasing.

mysys/my_getsystime.c:
  Do not used the cached time if gethrtime is not monotonic.

handler::pushed_cond was not always properly reset when table objects where
recycled via the table cache.
      
handler::pushed_cond is now set to NULL in handler::ha_reset(). This should 
prevent pushed conditions from (incorrectly) re-apperaring in later queries.

InnoDB Plugin 1.0.14 has been released with MySQL 5.1.54.

WIN32 compilation fixes: define ETIMEDOUT only if not available and
fix typos and add a missing parameter.

From a user perspective, the problem is that a FLUSH LOGS or SIGHUP
signal could end up associating the stdout and stderr to random
files. In the case of this bug report, the streams would end up
associated to InnoDB ibd files.

The freopen(3) function is not thread-safe on FreeBSD. What this
means is that if another thread calls open(2) during freopen()
is executing that another thread's fd returned by open(2) may get
re-associated with the file being passed to freopen(3). See FreeBSD
PR number 79887 for reference:

  http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=79887

This problem is worked around by substituting a internal hook within
the FILE structure. This avoids the loss of atomicity by not having
the original fd closed before its duplicated.

Patch based on the original work by Vasil Dimov.

  Export my_freopen.
mysys/my_fopen.c:
  Add a my_freopen abstraction to workaround bugs in specific OSes.
  Add a prototype for getosreldate() as older FreeBSD versions did
  not define one.
sql/log.cc:
  Move freopen abstraction code over to mysys.
  The streams are now only reopened for writing.

Do not use nested AC_CHECK_FUNC() because they result in:

./configure: line 52688: syntax error: unexpected end of file

(which happens only on some platforms and does not happen on others,
I have no idea what is the reason for this)

AC_CHECK_FUNCS(f1 f2 f3, ACTION_IF_PRESENT)
ACTION_IF_PRESENT is executed if any of f1, f2 or f3 is present.
Fix this misusage, we want the action to be executed if all of the
functions are present.
