This patch was originally developed by Vladislav Vaintroub.
The main changes are:

 * Use TryEnterCriticalSection in os_fast_mutex_trylock().
 * Use lightweight condition variables on Vista or later Windows;
   but fall back to events on older Windows, such as XP.

This patch also fixes the following bugs:
  bug# 52102 InnoDB Plugin shows performance drop compared to InnoDB
             on Windows
  bug# 53204 os_fastmutex_trylock is implemented incorrectly on Windows

Remove the pure attribute from a function. The function doesn't qualify as
a pure function because it has a side-effect (modifies its parameter). Add
a clarifying comment to another function's declaration.

  Correct some comments that were added in the fix of Bug #54358
  (READ UNCOMMITTED access failure of off-page DYNAMIC or COMPRESSED columns).

  Records that lack incompletely written externally stored columns may
  be accessed by READ UNCOMMITTED transaction even without involving a
  crash during an INSERT or UPDATE operation. I verified this as follows.

  (1) added a delay after the mini-transaction for writing the clustered
  index 'stub' record was committed (patch attached)
  (2) started mysqld in gdb, setting breakpoints to the where the
  assertions about READ UNCOMMITTED were added in the bug fix
  (3) invoked ibtest3 --create-options=key_block_size=2
  to create BLOBs in a COMPRESSED table
  (4) invoked the following:
  yes 'set transaction isolation level read uncommitted;
  checksum table blobt3;select sleep(1);'|mysql -uroot test
  (5) noted that one of the breakpoints was triggered
  (return(NULL) in btr_rec_copy_externally_stored_field())

  Bug#54358: READ UNCOMMITTED access failure of off-page DYNAMIC or COMPRESSED
  columns

  When the server crashes after a record stub has been inserted and
  before all its off-page columns have been written, the record will
  contain incomplete off-page columns after crash recovery. Such records
  may only be accessed at the READ UNCOMMITTED isolation level or when
  rolling back a recovered transaction in recv_recovery_rollback_active().
  Skip these records at the READ UNCOMMITTED isolation level.

  TODO: Add assertions for checking the above assumptions hold when an
  incomplete BLOB is encountered.

  btr_rec_copy_externally_stored_field(): Return NULL if the field is
  incomplete.

  row_prebuilt_t::templ_contains_blob: Clarify what "BLOB" means in this
  context. Hint: MySQL BLOBs are not the same as InnoDB BLOBs.

  row_sel_store_mysql_rec(): Return FALSE if not all columns could be
  retrieved. Previously this function always returned TRUE.  Assert that
  the record is not delete-marked.

  could be retrieved.

  row_search_for_mysql(): Skip records containing incomplete off-page

  branches/6.0: Allow the minimum length of a multi-byte character to be
  up to 4 bytes. (Bug #35391)

  dtype_t, dict_col_t: Replace mbminlen:2, mbmaxlen:3 with mbminmaxlen:5.
  In this way, the 5 bits can hold two values of 0..4, and the storage size
  of the fields will not cross the 64-bit boundary.  Encode the values as
  DATA_MBMAX * mbmaxlen + mbminlen.  Define the auxiliary macros
  DB_MBMINLEN(mbminmaxlen), DB_MBMAXLEN(mbminmaxlen), and
  DB_MINMAXLEN(mbminlen, mbmaxlen).

  Try to trim and pad UTF-16 and UTF-32 with spaces as appropriate.

  Alexander Barkov suggested the use of cs->cset->fill(cs, buff, len, 0x20).
  ha_innobase::store_key_val_for_row() now does that, but the added function
  row_mysql_pad_col() does not, because it doesn't have the MySQL TABLE object.

It causes lots of failures due to
Bug#54861 Additional connections not handled properly in mtr --embedded
should be re-enabled when that bug is resolved

and clarifies the invariant in dict_table_get_on_id().
  
In Mar 2007 Marko observed a crash during recovery, the crash resulted from
an UNDO operation on a system table. His solution was to acquire an X lock on
the data dictionary, this in hindsight was an overkill. It is unclear what
caused the crash, current hypothesis is that it was a memory corruption.
  
The X lock results in performance issues by when undoing changes due to
rollback during normal operation on regular tables.
  
Why the change is safe:
======================
The InnoDB code has changed since the original X lock change was made. In the
new code we always lock the data dictionary in X mode during startup when
UNDOing operations on the system tables (this is a given). This ensures that
the crash Marko observed cannot happen as long as all transactions that update
the system tables follow the standard rules by setting the appropriate DICT_OP
flag when writing the log records when they make the changes.
  
If transactions violate the above mentioned rule then during recovery (at
startup) the rollback code (see trx0roll.c) will not acquire the X lock
and we will see the crash again.  This will however be a different bug.
