The patch for MDEV-34417 erroneously assumed in DBUG_ASSERT() that BNLH joins
cannot be used on prefix indexes. In fact, BNHL can work with prefix indexes,
but the tests did not cover this scenario.

Fixing the asserts from "the key part does not have prefix segments" to
"the key value does not need truncation".

Additional tests for MDEV-28345 ASAN: use-after-poison or unknown-crash in my_strtod_int from charset_info_st::strntod or test_if_number

The test was missing a save_master_gtid.inc on the master,
leading to the slave thinking it was in sync after executing
sync_with_master_gtid.inc, despite not having executed the
latest transaction. This skipped transaction, XA COMMIT,
was supposed to error-to-be-ignored because its XID could not
be found, but be thrown out because the replication filters
would filter out the target database. However, if the slave
was able to stop before executing the transaction, then
the replication filer is reset (to empty), and when the
slave is later restarted, that transactions error would
no longer be ignored.

Additionally, as the test cases added in MDEV-33921 rely
on GTID synchronization, the test cases now force
master_use_gtid=slave_pos for consistency

This reverts commit 938b9293. Not needed after 90d376e0.

for ALTER_PARTITION_ADMIN (CHECK/REPAIR/LOAD INDEX/CACHE INDEX/etc)
partitioning marks affected partitions with PART_ADMIN state.

The assumption is that the server will call a corresponding
method of ha_partition which will reset the state back to PART_NORMAL.

This assumption is invalid, the server is not required to do so,
indeed, in CHECK ... FOR UPGRADE the server might decide early that
the table is fine and won't call ha_partition::check(), leaving
partitions in the wrong state. It will thus leak into the next
statement confusing the engine about what it is doing (see
ha_partition::create_handler_file()), causing a crash later.

Let's force all partitions into PART_NORMAL state after the admin
operation succeeded, in case it did so without consulting the engine.

There are 3 diff in result:
1) NULL value from SELECT
Due to incorrect truncating of the hex value, incorrect value is
written instead of original value to the view frm. This results in reading
incorrect value from frm, so eventual result is NULL.
2) 'Name_exp1' in column name (in gis.test)
This was because the identifier in SELECT is longer than 64 characters,
so 'Name_exp1' alias is also written to the view frm.
3)diff in explain extended
This was because the query plan for view protocol doesn't
contain database name. As a fix, disable view protocol for that particular
query.

Import only the required functions instead of all the functions from the

MDEV-28345 ASAN: use-after-poison or unknown-crash in my_strtod_int from charset_info_st::strntod or test_if_number

This patch fixes two problems:

- The code inside my_strtod_int() in strings/dtoa.c could test the byte
  behind the end of the string when processing the mantissa.
  Rewriting the code to avoid this.

- The code in test_if_number() in sql/sql_analyse.cc called my_atof()
  which is unsafe and makes the called my_strtod_int() look behind
  the end of the string if the input string is not 0-terminated.
  Fixing test_if_number() to use my_strtod() instead, passing the correct
  end pointer.

Mroonga UDFs can't be used without loading Mroonga.

Specifying filters (filter_status, filter_user, etc) in the mytop config
previously wouldn't work, because any filter specified here was added to
the config hash as a literal string.

This change fixes that - if filter_* is defined in the config and matches
an existing filter_* key, then run the value through StringOrRegex() and
assign to the config hash.

Item_exists_subselect::fix_length_and_dec() sets explicit_limit to 1.
In the exists2in transformation it resets select_limit to NULL. For
consistency we should reset explicity_limit too.

This fixes a bug where spider table returns wrong results for queries
that gets through exists2in transformation when semijoin is off.

To avoid off-by-one in spider_get_share.

And document conn key and conn key length.

Distinguish them in two place:

when constructing connection key in create_conn_key and
spider_create_conn for both ordinary queries and spider_direct_sql

For spider_create_conn and spider_udf_direct_sql_create_conn, the
created conn gets assigned a field from the source object if and only
if source->field is non-null.

For spider_create_conn_keys and spider_udf_direct_sql_create_conn_key,
we update the encoding so that absence of keyword and keyword with an
empty value result in different keys. More specifically, if the i-th
keyword has a value, the corresponding part in the conn key begins
with the char \i, followed by the possibly empty value and ends with a
\0. If the i-th keyword is not specified, then it does not get a
mention in the conn key.

As part of this change, we also update table param / option parsing to
recognise a singleton empty string when creating an string list,
instead of writing it off as NULL.

When connection parameters are specified in COMMENT, CONNECTION and
SERVER, they are overriden in the following order:

COMMENT > CONNECTION > SERVER

Blindly recursive chown is not way to do it.
This Workaround is not much better than just chown -R but
there is small adjustment just chown MariaDB statedir and logdir
then with find only chown those files that are not correctly
owned.

Based on the current logic, objects of classes Item_func_charset and
Item_func_coercibility (responsible for CHARSET() and COERCIBILITY()
functions) are always considered constant.
However, SQL syntax allows their use in a non-constant manner, such as
CHARSET(t1.a), COERCIBILITY(t1.a).

In these cases, the `used_tables()` parameter corresponds to table names
in the function parameters, creating an inconsistency: the item is marked
as constant but accesses tables. This leads to crashes when
conditions with CHARSET()/COERCIBILITY() are pushed into derived tables.

This commit addresses the issue by setting `used_tables()` to 0 for
`Item_func_charset` and `Item_func_coercibility`. Additionally, the items
now store the return values during the preparation phase and return
them during the execution phase. This ensures that the items do not call
its arguments methods during the execution and are truly constant.

ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION only applies to CREATE TABLE and ALTER TABLE, and
Storage_engine_name::resolve_storage_engine_with_error() could be
called when executing any sql command.

SPIDER_CONN::loop_check_meraged_first is useless, because all
SPIDER_CONN_LOOP_CHECKs are in SPIDER_CONN::loop_check_queue, which in
spider_db_conn::fin_loop_check() is iterated over.

This fixes the use-after-free issue when there are three spider tables
sharing the same remote, and their corresponding
SPIDER_CONN_LOOP_CHECKs getting merged in
spider_conn_queue_and_merge_loop_check()

This also fixes MDEV-34555

Same cause as MDEV-31996. This prevents reuse of conns freed
previously, e.g. during the commit of previous statement.

It does not occur in 10.4 because of the commit for MDEV-19002 removed
the call to spider_check_trx_and_get_conn().

This allows creation of SPIDER_CONN on demand, if the previous one was
freed.

Also, the first_link_idx's are reset during
spider_check_trx_and_get_conn(), which in the case of remote HANDLER
commands, might not match the link to use correct first_link_idx for
remote HANDLER statement that was later set in
ha_spider::rnd_handler_init() (causing testing regressions in the
spider/handler suite). Therefore we fix the first_link_idx there.

A SPIDER_TRX_HA associated with a SPIDER_TRX could have longer
lifetime than its associated SPIDER_SHARE. And it is identified with
the associated table name. When the SPIDER_SHARE no longer valid, e.g.
when the associated spider table has been dropped and recreated, the
SPIDER_TRX_HA should be reset too.

Since spider could create a new SPIDER_SHARE with the exact same
address of a freed SPIDER_SHARE, we try to mark all SPIDER_TRX_HAs
associated with a SPIDER_SHARE invalid when the SPIDER_SHARE is about
to be freed.

Some documentations come from commit for MDEV-29676, and the rest are
mainly related to SPIDER_TRX_HA.

Removed SPIDER_TRX_HA::trx as it is unused.

Reason for the error is that --defaults-group-suffix is passed twice
to the command line client, and option parser is not prepared for this.

Double occurence of comes from 2 invocations of parse_arguments(), which
appends unparsed arguments each time it is called.

Fixed by treating --defaults-group-suffix like other "--defaults-"
(--defaults-file/--defaults-extra-file). it will be parsed, and thus
passed only once to the command line client.

Address Sanitizer's know how to detect stack overrun, so there's
no point in us doing it.

As evidenced by perfschema tests where signficant test failures
because this function failed under ASAN (MDEV-33210).

Also, so since clang-16, we cannot assume much about how local
variables are allocated on the stack (MDEV-31605).

Disabling check idea thanks to Sanja.

MDEV-34490 get_copy() and build_clone() may return an instance of an ancestor class instead of a copy/clone

The `Item` class methods `get_copy()`, `build_clone()`, and `clone_item()`
face an issue where they may be defined in a descendant class
(e.g., `Item_func`) but not in a further descendant (e.g., `Item_func_child`).
This can lead to scenarios where `build_clone()`, when operating on an
instance of `Item_func_child` with a pointer to the base class (`Item`),
returns an instance of `Item_func` instead of `Item_func_child`.

Since this limitation cannot be resolved at compile time, this commit
introduces runtime type checks for the copy/clone operations.
A debug assertion will now trigger in case of a type mismatch.

`get_copy()`, `build_clone()`, and `clone_item()` are no more virtual,
but virtual `do_get_copy()`, `do_build_clone()`, and `do_clone_item()`
are added to the protected section of the class `Item`.

Additionally, const qualifiers have been added to certain methods
to enhance code reliability.

MDEV-34474 InnoDB: Failing assertion: stat_n_leaf_pages > 0 in ha_innobase::estimate_rows_upper_bound

- Fixing the compilation issue.

This fixes a valgrind failure where the bulk_size is used before
initialised in ha_spider::end_bulk_insert().

MDEV-34542  Assertion `lock_trx_has_sys_table_locks(trx) == __null' failed in void row_mysql_unfreeze_data_dictionary(trx_t*)

- During XA PREPARE, InnoDB releases the non-exclusive locks.
But it fails to remove the non-exclusive table lock from the
transaction table locks. In the mean time, main thread evicts
the table from the LRU cache. While rollbacking the XA transaction,
InnoDB iterates through the table locks to check whether it
holds lock on any system tables and wrongly assumes the
evicted table as system table since the table id is 0

Fix:
===
During XA PREPARE, remove the table locks of the transaction while
releasing the non-exclusive locks.
