remember range endpoints

The Loose Index Scan optimization keeps track of a sequence
of intervals. For the current interval it maintains the
current interval's endpoints. But the maximum endpoint was
not stored in the SQL layer; rather, it relied on the
storage engine to retain this value in-between reads. By
coincidence this holds for MyISAM and InnoDB. Not for the
partitioning engine, however.

Fixed by making the key values iterator 
(QUICK_RANGE_SELECT) keep track of the current maximum endpoint.
This is also more efficient as we save a call through the
handler API in case of open-ended intervals.

The code to calculate endpoints was extracted into 
separate methods in QUICK_RANGE_SELECT, and it was possible to
get rid of some code duplication as part of fix.

that generated multiple result sets (such as a stored procedure or a
multi-statement command) would leave the connection unusable. (Bug #42373)

A side-effect of this bug fix is to make MYSQL_INIT_COMMAND settings ignored
when connecting from within the server, but none of the existing mechanisms
for connecting from within the server use or need to set the initial command.

Backport of the patch for 5.1-bugteam.

The fix actually reverts the change introduced
by the patch for bug 51494.
The fact is that patches for bugs 52177&48419
fix bugs 51194&50575 as well.

            truncates text/blob to 766 chars

mysqldump and SELECT ... INTO OUTFILE truncated long BLOB/TEXT
values to size of 766 bytes (MAX_FIELD_WIDTH or 255 * 3 + 1).

The select_export::send_data method has been modified to
reallocate a conversion buffer for long field data.

The algorithm inside restore_prev_nj_state failed to
properly update the counters within the NESTED_JOIN
tree. The counter was decremented each time a table in the
node was removed from the QEP, the correct thing to do being
only to decrement it when the last table in the child node
was removed from the plan. This lead to node counters
getting negative values and the plan thus appeared
impossible. An assertion caught this.

Fixed by not recursing up the tree unless the last table in
the join nest node is removed from the plan

      
The bug happened under the following condition:
  - there was a user variable of type REAL, containing NULL value
  - there was a table with a NOT_NULL column of any type but REAL, having
    default value (or auto increment);
  - a row was inserted into the table with the user variable as value.
    A warning was emitted here.

The problem was that handling of NULL values of REAL type was not properly
implemented: it didn't expect that REAL NULL value can be assigned to other
data type.

Basically, the problem was that set_field_to_null() was used instead of
set_field_to_null_with_conversions().

The fix is to use the right function, or more generally, to allow conversion of
REAL NULL values to other data types.

  
  Problem:
  item->name was NULL for Item_user_var_as_out_param
  which made strcmp(something, item->name) crash in the LOAD XML code.
  
  Fix:
  - item_func.h: Adding set_name() in constuctor for Item_user_var_as_out_param
  - sql_load.cc: Changing the condition in write_execute_load_query_log_event() which
  distiguished between Item_user_var_as_out_param and Item_field
  from
    if (item->name == NULL)
  to
    if (item->type() == Item::FIELD_ITEM)
  - loadxml.result, loadxml.test: adding tests

Problem: after introduction of "WL#2649 Number-to-string conversions"

This query:
  SET NAMES cp850; -- Or any other non-latin1 ASCII-based character set
  SELECT * FROM t1
  WHERE datetime_column='2010-01-01 00:00:00'
started to add extra character set conversion: 
  SELECT * FROM t1
  WHERE CONVERT(datetime_column USING cp850)='2010-01-01 00:00:00';

so index on DATETIME column was not used anymore.
Fix:
  avoid convertion of NUMERIC/DATETIME items
  (i.e. those with derivation DERIVATION_NUMERIC).

Bug#53417 my_getwd() makes assumptions on the buffer sizes which not always hold true
      
The mysys library contains many functions for rewriting file paths. Most of these
functions makes implicit assumptions on the buffer sizes they write to. If a path is put
in my_realpath() it will propagate to my_getwd() which assumes that the buffer holding
the path name is greater than 2. This is not true in cases.
      
In the special case where a VARBIN_ITEM is passed as argument to the LOAD_FILE function
this can lead to a crash.
      
This patch fixes the issue by introduce more safe guards agaist buffer overruns.

This is the 5.1 merge and extension of the fix.
The server was happily accepting paths in table name in all places a table
name is accepted (e.g. a SELECT). This allowed all users that have some 
privilege over some database to read all tables in all databases in all
mysql server instances that the server file system has access to.
Fixed by :
1. making sure no path elements are allowed in quoted table name when
constructing the path (note that the path symbols are still valid in table names
when they're properly escaped by the server).
2. checking the #mysql50# prefixed names the same way they're checked for
path elements in mysql-5.0.

      
When issuing a 'SET GLOBAL SQL_SLAVE_SKIP_COUNTER' statement, the previous
position along with the new position is dumped into the error log. Namely,
the following information is printed out: skip_counter, group_relay_log_name
and group_relay_log_pos.

      
When issuing a 'CHANGE MASTER TO' statement, key elements of the previous
state, namely the host, port, the master_log_file and the master_log_pos
are dumped into the error log.

Iterative patch improvement. Previously committed patch
caused wrong result on Windows. The previous patch also
broke secure_file_priv for symlinks since not all file
paths which must be compared against this variable are
normalized using the same norm.

The server variable opt_secure_file_priv wasn't
normalized properly and caused the operations
LOAD DATA INFILE .. INTO TABLE ..
and
SELECT load_file(..)
to do different interpretations of the 
--secure-file-priv option.
     
The patch moves code to the server initialization
routines so that the path always is normalized
once and only once.
      
It was also intended that setting the option
to an empty string should be equal to 
lifting all previously set restrictions. This
is also fixed by this patch.

The server was not checking the supplied to COM_FIELD_LIST table name
for validity and compliance to acceptable table names standards.
Fixed by checking the table name for compliance similar to how it's 
normally checked by the parser and returning an error message if 
it's not compliant.

There were two problems here:
  1. misleading error message
  2. abusing KILL QUERY in the test case

1. The server reported "'DELETE FROM t1' failed: 1689: Wait on a lock was
aborted due to a pending exclusive lock", while the proper error message
should be "'DELETE FROM t1' failed: 1317: Query execution was interrupted".

The problem is that the server has two different flags for
signalling that a query is being killed: THD::killed and
mysys_var::abort. The test case triggers a race: sometimes
mysys_var::abort is set earlier than THD::killed. That leads
to the following situation:

  - thr_lock() checks mysys_var::abort and returns error status,
    since mysys_var::abort is set;

  - the caller (mysql_lock_tables()) gets an error from thr_lock(),
    but THD::killed is not set, so it decides that thr_lock() couldn't
    get a lock due to a pending exclusive lock.

This is a known issue with the server and it's not going to be fixed soon.

5.5 differs from 5.1 here as follows: when thr_lock() returns an error:
  - 5.1 continues trying thr_lock() until success;
  - 5.5 propagates the error

2. The test case uses KILL QUERY is a highly concurent environment.

The fix is to wait for the dying statement to rest in peace before
executing another DELETE FROM t1.

WHERE predicates containing references to empty tables in a
subquery were handled incorrectly by the optimizer when
executing EXPLAIN. As a result, the optimizer could try to
evaluate such predicates rather than just stop with
"Impossible WHERE noticed after reading const tables" as 
it would do in a non-subquery case. This led to valgrind 
errors and crashes.

Fixed the code checking the above condition so that subqueries
are not excluded and hence are handled in the same way as top
level SELECTs.
