if it's the whole content of a test anyway.

add a new "debugger" to mtr, that runs the executable
under valgrind in gdb. valgrind pid is auto-detected,
but the delay (sleep) and vgdb path are hard-coded for now

"debugger" is anything that wraps execution of a target
binary (mysqld or mysqltest). Currently the list includes:
gdb, ddd, dbx, lldb, valgrind, strace, ktrace, rr,
devenv, windbg, vsjitdebugger.

for every debugger xxx, mtr will recognize four options:
--xxx, --boot-xxx, --manual-xxx, --client-xxx.
They all support an optional "=string" argument. String
being a semicolon-separated list of commands (e.g. for gdb)
or one (not semicolon-separated) command line of options
(e.g. for valgrind). Or both (e.g. --gdb='-quiet -nh;info files'

In embedded both --xxx and --client-xxx work.

Functionality changed/removed:
* --rr-args is gone
* --rr-dir is gone
* --manual-debug is gone
* --debugger={devenv|vc|windbg|vc_express|vsjitdebugger} is gone
* --strace-option is gone
* --stracer={strace|ktrace} is gone
* --valgrind only enables it for the server, not for everything
* --valgrind-all is gone
* --valgrind-mysqltest is gone
* --valgrind-mysqld is gone
* --valgrind-options is gone
* --valgrind-option is gone
* --valgrind-path is gone
* --callgrind is gone
* one cannot combine --valgrind --gdb anymore
* valgrind report doesn't add a fake test line to the output
* vc and vcexpress on windows are no longer supported

don't allocate Column_statistics_collected objects that won't
be used.

minor style fixes (StringBuffer<>, etc)

only collect persistent stats for columns explicitly listed
by the user in the  ANALYZE TABLE PERSISTENT FOR COLUMNS (...)
clause. The engine can extend table->read_set as much as
it wants, it should not affect the collected statistics.

Test case from the 3b94309a applies - it used to crash,
because ha_partition extended table->read_set after the loop that
initialized some objects based on bits in the read_set but before the
loop that used these objects based on bits in the read_set.

This reverts the commit 3b94309a but keeps the test

Because the fix is a hack that isn't supposed to do anything,
and relies on a side-effect of rnd_init inside ha_partition.

A different fix is coming up.

- This is caused by commit ad6171b9
(MDEV-22456). InnoDB reloads the evicted table again from dictionary.
In that case, AHI entries and current index object mismatches
happens. When index object mismatches then InnoDB should drop
the page hash AHI entries for the block. In
btr_search_drop_page_hash_index(), InnoDB should take exclusive
lock on the AHI latch if index is already freed to avoid the
freed memory access during buf_pool_resize()

this should simplify run-time cluster management

MDEV-24873 : galera.galera_as_slave_ctas MTR failed: Assertion `(&(&LOCK_thd_data)->m_mutex)->count > 0 && pthread_equal(pthread_self(), (&(&LOCK_thd_data)->m_mutex)->thread)' failed in sql_class.cc on THD::awake(killed_state)

Problem was that thd::awake assumes now that you hold THD::LOCK_thd_data
so we need to keep it when we call wsrep_thd_awake from
wsrep_abort_transaction.

Problem was that we tried to lock THD::LOCK_thd_data after we have
acquired lock_sys mutex. This is against mutex ordering rules.

Stabilize test case.

Let us avoid the excessive allocation of explicit record locks
(a work-around of MDEV-24813) so that the test will execute
much faster under AddressSanitizer, MemorySanitizer, Valgrind.

The issue here was the read_set bitmap was not set for a field which
was used as a reference in an inner select.
We need to make sure that if we are in an inner select and we have
references from outer select then we update the table bitmaps for
such references.

Introduced a function in the class Item_subselect that would
update bitmaps of table for the references within a
subquery that are defined in outer selects.

Follow-up fix to commit 26f50335(MDEV-23449)
The GROUP BY clause inside IN/ALL/ANY subquery is removed
when there is no aggregate function or HAVING clause in the subquery.

When the GROUP BY clause is removed, a subquery can also be removed
if it part of the GROUP BY clause. This is done inside the function
remove_redundant_subquery_clauses. Here we walk over the GROUP BY list
and remove a subselect from its unit via the callback function
eliminate_subselect_processor.

The issue here was that when the query was being re-executed it was trying
to reinitialize the select that was removed as stated above.
This is not required, so the fix would be to remove select_lex
both from tree lex structure and the global list of nodes so that
we don't do the reinitialization again.

The issue here was histogram statistics were being used even when
the level of optimizer_use_condition_selectivity doesn't allow
usage of statistics from histogram.

The histogram statistics are read for a table only when
optimizer_use_condition_selectivity > 3. But the TABLE structure can be
stored in the internal table cache and be reused for the next query.
So in this case the histogram statistics will be available for the next query.

The fix would be to make sure to use the histogram statistics only when
optimizer_use_condition_selectivity > 3.

The test innodb.innodb_bug60049 used to check that the record
(ID,NAME)=(12,'SYS_FOREIGN_COLS') is the last record in the
secondary index of the system table SYS_TABLES.
But, ever since commit 23365584
or mysql/mysql-server@082d59670f2616f68af37666fac0f23dbeb43099
that record no longer is the last one in the table!

The more recent test innodb.purge_secondary covers the purge
functionality much better.

innobase_rename_column_try(): When renaming SYS_FIELDS records
for secondary indexes, try to use both formats of SYS_FIELDS.POS
as keys, in case the PRIMARY KEY includes a column prefix.

Without this fix, an ALTER TABLE that renames a column followed
by a server restart (or LRU eviction of the table definition
from dict_sys) would make the table inaccessible.

The test requires adaptation for MariaDB, which is done
in this patch. In addition, this patch includes a fix for
the SST script startup code that adds escaping for special
characters on the command line (in case they are contained
in the arguments to mysqld). The fix does not require
separate tests, as the required tests are already part
of the mtr suite for Galera.

A locking SELECT from an InnoDB table is very slow especially
in debug builds. Replacing some INSERT...SELECT should not reduce
the test coverage, because the test will still do DELETE
(which will acquire explicit record locks).

Use size_t everywhere and remove suspicious expression.

MDEV-22741: *SAN: ERROR: AddressSanitizer: use-after-poison on address in instrings/strmake.c:36 from change_master (on optimized builds)

Problem:
========
CHANGE MASTER TO MASTER_USER='root', MASTER_SSL=0, MASTER_SSL_CA='',
  MASTER_SSL_CERT='', MASTER_SSL_KEY='', MASTER_SSL_CRL='',
  MASTER_SSL_CRLPATH='';

CHANGE MASTER TO MASTER_USER='root', MASTER_PASSWORD='', MASTER_SSL=0;

use-after-poison is reported for lex_mi->ssl_crl

File: sql_repl.cc

if (lex_mi->ssl_crl)
  strmake_buf(mi->ssl_crl, lex_mi->ssl_crl);

Analysis:
========
At the end of CHANGE MASTER statement execution, the LEX_MASTER_INFO
parameters are reset so that the next query will have a clean state. But
'ssl_crl' and 'ssl_crl_path' members of LEX_MASTER_INFO object are not
cleared during 'LEX_MASTER_INFO::reset'. Hence when a new CHANGE MASTER
statement is executed, the stale value of lex_mi->ssl_crl is used, so ASAN
reports use-after-poison.

Fix:
===
Clear 'ssl_crl' and 'ssl_crl_path' as part of 'reset'.

Fixed by the author in other way (char -> short)

This reverts commit 496f7090.
