POSIX standard, reinitialization of a pthread_once is a gray
area, but it is needed to support subsequent initializations
of the client library.

A client doing multiple mysql_library_init() and
mysql_library_end() calls over the lifetime of the process may
experience lost character set data, potentially even a
SIGSEGV.

This patch reinstates the reloading of character set data when
a mysql_library_init() is done after a mysql_library_end().

Item_field::print method does not take into
account fields whose values may be null.
The fix is to print 'NULL' if field value is null.

The problem was that the CSV storage engine does not support NULL
fields, yet in some early 5.1 version the log tables (general_log
and slow_log) were created with null fields. On top of this, when
altering a CSV table column, all fields of the table must be NOT
NULL otherwise the alteration fails.

The solution is to ensure that during upgrade all columns of the
log tables are NOT NULL.

The test failed due to Bug #29790.
However, logics of the failing part does not need I_S selecting.

Fixing to remove the non-deterministic I_S selecting as redundant
from a part of the test dealing with BUG@22864.

correcting c&p typos in the test

The problem is that cond->fix_fields(thd, 0) breaks
condition(cuts off 'having'). The reason of that is
that NULL valued Item pointer is present in the
middle of Item list and it breaks the Item processing
loop.

performance degradation.

Filesort + join cache combination is preferred to full index scan because it
is usually faster. But it's not the case when the index is clustered one.

Now test_if_skip_sort_order function prefers filesort only if index isn't
clustered.

branches/5.1: Fix bug #50691, AIX implementation of readdir_r
causes InnoDB errors. readdir_r() returns an non-NULL value
in the case of reaching the end of a directory. It should
not be treated as an error return.

branches/5.1: Fix Bug #38901
InnoDB logs error repeatedly when trying to load page into buffer pool

In buf_page_get_gen() if we are unable to read a page (because of
corruption or some other reason) we keep on retrying. This fills up
error log with millions of entries in no time and we'd eventually run
out of disk space. This patch limits the number of attempts that we
make (currently set to 100) and after that we abort with a message.

branches/5.1: Undo the change from r6424. We need to return DB_SUCCESS even
if we were unable to initialize the tabe autoinc value. This is required for
the open to succeed. The only condition we currently treat as a hard error
is if the autoinc field instance passed in by MySQL is NULL.

Previously if the table autoinc value was 0 and the next value was requested
we had an assertion that would fail. Change that assertion and treat a value
of 0 to mean that the autoinc system is unavailable. Generation of next
value will now return failure.

Propagation of a large unsigned numeric constant
in the WHERE expression led to wrong result.

For example,
"WHERE a = CAST(0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF AS USIGNED) AND FOO(a)",
where a is an UNSIGNED BIGINT, and FOO() accepts strings,
was transformed to "... AND FOO('-1')".

That has been fixed.

Also EXPLAIN EXTENDED printed incorrect numeric constants in
transformed WHERE expressions like above. That has been
fixed too.

 
The problem was in an incorrect debug assertion. The expression 
used in the failing assertion states that when finding 
references matching ORDER BY expressions, there can be only one 
reference to a single table. But that does not make any sense, 
all test cases for this bug are valid examples with multiple 
identical WHERE expressions referencing the same table which
are also present in the ORDER BY list. 
 
Fixed by removing the failing assertion. We also have to take 
care of the 'found' counter so that we count multiple 
references only once. We rely on this fact later in 
eq_ref_table(). 

backporting of bug@30703 to 5.1.
The fixes are backed up with a regression test.

Two result files in the sys_vars suite wasn't 
properly updated after the change in
deprecation text

"TYPE=storage_engine" is deprecated, and will be removed
in the Celosia release of MySQL.  Since the option is
present in the Betony release and the version number of
Celosia is still not decided, we need to bump the
deprecation version number back up to "6.0".
