Bug #23667 "CREATE TABLE LIKE is not isolated from alteration
             by other connections"
 Bug #18950 "CREATE TABLE LIKE does not obtain LOCK_open"
As well as:
 Bug #25578 "CREATE TABLE LIKE does not require any privileges
             on source table".

The first and the second bugs resulted in various errors and wrong
binary log order when one tried to execute concurrently CREATE TABLE LIKE
statement and DDL statements on source table or DML/DDL statements on its
target table.

The problem was caused by incomplete protection/table-locking against
concurrent statements implemented in mysql_create_like_table() routine.
We solve it by simply implementing such protection in proper way (see
comment for sql_table.cc for details).

The third bug allowed user who didn't have any privileges on table create
its copy and therefore circumvent privilege check for SHOW CREATE TABLE.

This patch solves this problem by adding privilege check, which was missing.

Finally it also removes some duplicated code from mysql_create_like_table().

Note that, altough tests covering concurrency-related aspects of CREATE TABLE
LIKE behaviour will only be introduced in 5.1, they were run manually for
this patch as well.


mysql-test/r/grant2.result:
  Added test for bug#25578 "CREATE TABLE LIKE does not require any privileges
  on source table".
mysql-test/t/grant2.test:
  Added test for bug#25578 "CREATE TABLE LIKE does not require any privileges
  on source table".
sql/handler.h:
  Introduced new flag for HA_CREATE_INFO::options in order to be able to
  distinguish CREATE TABLE ... LIKE from other types of CREATE TABLE.
sql/mysql_priv.h:
  mysql_create_like_table() now takes source table name not as a
  Table_ident object but as regular table list element.
sql/sql_parse.cc:
  CREATE TABLE ... LIKE implementation now uses statement's table list
  for storing information about the source table. We also use flag
  in LEX::create_info.options for distinguishing it from other types
  of CREATE TABLE.
  Finally CREATE TABLE ... LIKE now requires the same privileges on
  the source tables as SHOW CREATE TABLE. Moved this privilege check
  to check_show_create_table_access() function.
sql/sql_table.cc:
  mysql_create_like_table():
   - Provided proper protection from concurrent statements.
     This is achieved by keeping name-lock on the source table and holding
     LOCK_open mutex during whole operation. This gives protection against
     concurrent DDL on source table. Also holding this mutex makes copying
     of .frm file, call to ha_create_table() and binlogging atomic against
     concurrent DML and DDL operations on target table.
   - Get rid of duplicated code related to source database/table name
     handling. All these operations are already done in
     st_select_lex::add_table_to_list(), so we achieve the same effect
     by including source table into the statement's table list.
sql/sql_yacc.yy:
  Now we use special flag in LEX::create_info::options for distinguishing
  CREATE TABLE ... LIKE from other types of CREATE TABLE and store name
  of source table as regular element in statement's table list.

Bug#21483 "Server abort or deadlock on INSERT DELAYED with another
implicit insert"
Also fixes and adds test cases for bugs:
20497 "Trigger with INSERT DELAYED causes Error 1165"
21714 "Wrong NEW.value and server abort on INSERT DELAYED to a
table with a trigger".
Post-review fixes.

Problem:
In MySQL INSERT DELAYED is a way to pipe all inserts into a
given table through a dedicated thread. This is necessary for
simplistic storage engines like MyISAM, which do not have internal
concurrency control or threading and thus can not
achieve efficient INSERT throughput without support from SQL layer.
DELAYED INSERT works as follows:
For every distinct table, which can accept DELAYED inserts and has
pending data to insert, a dedicated thread is created to write data
to disk. All user connection threads that attempt to
delayed-insert into this table interact with the dedicated thread in
producer/consumer fashion: all records to-be inserted are pushed
into a queue of the dedicated thread, which fetches the records and 
writes them.
In this design, client connection threads never open or lock
the delayed insert table.
This functionality was introduced in version 3.23 and does not take 
into account existence of triggers, views, or pre-locking.
E.g. if INSERT DELAYED is called from a stored function, which,
in turn, is called from another stored function that uses the delayed
table, a deadlock can occur, because delayed locking by-passes
pre-locking. Besides:
 * the delayed thread works directly with the subject table through
   the storage engine API and does not invoke triggers
 * even if it was patched to invoke triggers, if triggers,
   in turn, used other tables, the delayed thread would
   have to open and lock involved tables (use pre-locking).
 * even if it was patched to use pre-locking, without deadlock
   detection the delayed thread could easily lock out user 
   connection threads in case when the same table is used both
   in a trigger and on the right side of the insert query: 
   the delayed thread would not release locks until all inserts 
   are complete, and user connection can not complete inserts 
   without having locks on the tables used on the right side of the
   query.

Solution:

These considerations suggest two general alternatives for the
future of INSERT DELAYED:
 * it is considered a full-fledged alternative to normal INSERT
 * it is regarded as an optimisation that is only relevant 
   for simplistic engines.
Since we missed our chance to provide complete support of new
features when 5.0 was in development, the first alternative
currently renders infeasible.
However, even the second alternative, which is to detect
new features and convert DELAYED insert into a normal insert, 
is not easy to implement.
The catch-22 is that we don't know if the subject table has triggers
or is a view before we open it, and we only open it in the
delayed thread. We don't know if the query involves pre-locking
until we have opened all tables, and we always first create
the delayed thread, and only then open the remaining tables.
This patch detects the problematic scenarios and converts
DELAYED INSERT to a normal INSERT using the following approach:
 * if the statement is executed under pre-locking (e.g. from
   within a stored function or trigger) or the right
   side may require pre-locking, we detect the situation
   before creating a delayed insert thread and convert the statement
   to a conventional INSERT.
  * if the subject table is a view or has triggers, we shutdown
   the delayed thread and convert the statement to a conventional
   INSERT.

a crash when the left operand of the predicate is evaluated to NULL.
It happens when the rows from the inner tables (tables from the subquery)

the left operand of the subquery predicate. When this predicate is
evaluated to NULL an alternative access with full table scan is used
to check whether the result set returned by the subquery is empty or not.
The crash was due to the fact the info about the access methods used for

If a user has a right to update anything in the current database then the 
access was granted and further checks of access rights for underlying tables
wasn't done correctly. The check is done before a view is opened and thus no
check of access rights for underlying tables can be carried out.
This allows a user to update through a view a table from another database for
which he hasn't enough rights.

  Bug #20662 "Infinite loop in CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS ... SELECT
              with locked tables"
  Bug #20903 "Crash when using CREATE TABLE .. SELECT and triggers"
  Bug #24738 "CREATE TABLE ... SELECT is not isolated properly"
  Bug #24508 "Inconsistent results of CREATE TABLE ... SELECT when
              temporary table exists"
 
Deadlock occured when one tried to execute CREATE TABLE IF NOT
EXISTS ... SELECT statement under LOCK TABLES which held
read lock on target table.
Attempt to execute the same statement for already existing
target table with triggers caused server crashes.
Also concurrent execution of CREATE TABLE ... SELECT statement
and other statements involving target table suffered from
various races (some of which might've led to deadlocks).
Finally, attempt to execute CREATE TABLE ... SELECT in case
when a temporary table with same name was already present
led to the insertion of data into this temporary table and
creation of empty non-temporary table.
 
All above problems stemmed from the old implementation of CREATE
TABLE ... SELECT in which we created, opened and locked target
table without any special protection in a separate step and not
with the rest of tables used by this statement.
This underminded deadlock-avoidance approach used in server
and created window for races. It also excluded target table
from prelocking causing problems with trigger execution.
  
The patch solves these problems by implementing new approach to
handling of CREATE TABLE ... SELECT for base tables.
We try to open and lock table to be created at the same time as
the rest of tables used by this statement. If such table does not
exist at this moment we create and place in the table cache special
placeholder for it which prevents its creation or any other usage
by other threads.

We still use old approach for creation of temporary tables.

Also note that we decided to postpone introduction of some tests
for concurrent behaviour of CREATE TABLE ... SELECT till 5.1.
The main reason for this is absence in 5.0 ability to set @@debug
variable at runtime, which can be circumvented only by using several
test files with individual .opt files. Since the latter is likely
to slowdown test-suite unnecessary we chose not to push this tests
into 5.0, but run them manually for this version and later push
their optimized version into 5.1

sql/lock.cc:
  Now for creation of name-lock placeholder in lock_table_name() we use
  auxiliary function table_cache_insert_placeholder().
sql/mysql_priv.h:
  Made build_table_path() function available outside of sql_table.cc file.
  reopen_name_locked_table() now has 3rd argument which controls linking
  in of table being opened into THD::open_tables (this is useful in
  cases when placeholder used for name-locking is already linked into
  this list).
  Added declaration of auxiliary function table_cache_insert_placeholder()
  which is used for creation of table placeholders for name-locking.
  Added declaration of table_cache_has_open_placeholder() function which
  can be used for checking if table cache contains an open placeholder for
  the table and if this placeholder was created by another thread.
  (This function is needed only in 5.0 where we use it in various versions
   of CREATE TABLE in order to protect it from concurrent CREATE TABLE
   ... SELECT operations for the table. Starting from 5.1 we use different
   approach so it is going to be removed there).
  Made close_old_data_files() static within sql_base.cc file. 
  Added auxiliary drop_open_table() routine.
  Moved declaration of refresh_version to table.h header to make it
  accessible from inline methods of TABLE class.
  MYSQL_OPEN_IGNORE_LOCKED_TABLES flag is no longer used. Instead
  MYSQL_OPEN_TEMPORARY_ONLY option was added.
sql/sql_base.cc:
  Added support for the new approach to the handling of CREATE TABLE
  ... SELECT for base tables.
  
  Now we try to open and lock table to be created at the same time as
  the rest of tables used by this statement. If such table does not
  exist at this moment we create and place in the table cache special
  placeholder for it which prevents its creation or any other usage
  by other threads.
  
  Note significant distinctions of this placeholder from the placeholder
  used for normal name-lock: 1) It is treated like open table by other
  name-locks so it does not allow name-lock taking operations like DROP
  TABLE or RENAME TABLE to proceed. 2) it is linked into THD::open_tables
  list and automatically removed during close_thread_tables() call.
  
  open_tables():
    Implemented logic described above. To do this added
    auxiliary check_if_table_exists() function.
    Removed support for MYSQL_OPEN_IGNORE_LOCKED_TABLES option
    which is no longer used.
    Added MYSQL_OPEN_TEMPORARY_ONLY which is used to restrict
    search for temporary tables only.
  close_cached_tables()/close_thread_table()/reopen_tables()/
  close_old_data_files()/table_is_used()/remove_table_from_cache():
    Added support for open placeholders (note that we also use them
    when we need to re-open tables during flush).
  Added auxiliary drop_open_table() routine.
  reopen_name_locked_table():
    Now has 3rd argument which controls linking in of table being
    opened into THD::open_tables (this is useful in cases when
    placeholder used for name-locking is already linked into
    this list).
  Added auxiliary table_cache_insert_placeholder() routine which
  simplifies creation of placeholders used for name-locking.
  Added table_cache_has_open_placeholder() function which can be
  used for checking if table cache contains an open placeholder for
  the table and if this placeholder was created by another thread.
  (This function is needed only in 5.0 where we use it in various versions
   of CREATE TABLE in order to protect it from concurrent CREATE TABLE
   ... SELECT operations for the table. Starting from 5.1 we use different
   approach so it is going to be removed there).
sql/sql_handler.cc:
  Adjusted mysql_ha_mark_tables_for_reopen() routine to properly
  handle placeholders which now can be linked into open tables
  list.
sql/sql_insert.cc:
  Introduced new approach to handling of base tables in CREATE TABLE
  ... SELECT statement.
  
  Now we try to open and lock table to be created at the same time as
  the rest of tables used by this statement. If such table does not
  exist at this moment we create and place in the table cache special
  placeholder for it which prevents its creation or any other usage
  by other threads. By doing this we avoid races which existed with
  previous approach in which we created, opened and locked target in
  separate step without any special protection.
  This also allows properly calculate prelocking set in cases when
  target table already exists and has some on insert triggers.
    
  Note that we don't employ the same approach for temporary tables
  (this is okay as such tables are unaffected by other threads).
  
  Changed create_table_from_items() and select_create methods to
  implement this approach.
sql/sql_parse.cc:
  The new approach to handling of CREATE TABLE ... SELECT for
  base tables assumes that all tables (including table to be
  created) are opened and (or) locked at the same time.
  So in cases when we create base table we have to pass to
  open_and_lock_tables() table list which includes target table.
sql/sql_prepare.cc:
  The new approach to handling of CREATE TABLE ... SELECT for
  base tables assumes that all tables (including table to be
  created) are opened and (or) locked at the same time.
  So in cases when we create base table we have to pass to
  open_and_lock_tables() table list which includes target table.
sql/sql_table.cc:
  Now mysql_create_table_internal(), mysql_create_like_table() and
  mysql_alter_table() not only check that destination table doesn't
  exist on disk but also check that there is no create placeholder
  in table cache for it (i.e. there is no CREATE TABLE ... SELECT
  operation in progress for it). Note that starting from 5.1 we
  use different approach in order to to protect CREATE TABLE ... SELECT
  from concurrent CREATE TABLE (ALTER TABLE ... RENAME) operations,
  the latter simply take name-locks on table before its creation
  (on target table name before renaming).
  
  Also made build_table_path() available from other files and
  asjusted calls to reopen_name_locked_table(), which now takes
  extra argument, which controls linking of open table into
  THD::open_tables list.
sql/sql_trigger.cc:
  reopen_name_locked_tables() now has one more argument which controls
  linking of opened table into the THD::open_tables list.
sql/sql_yacc.yy:
  The new approach to handling of CREATE TABLE ... SELECT statement
  for base tables assumes that all tables including table to be
  created are open and (or) locked at the same time. Therefore
  we need to set correct lock for target table.
sql/table.h:
  Moved declaration of refresh_version variable from mysql_priv.h
  to make it accessible from inline methods of TABLE class. 
  Renamed TABLE::locked_by_flush member to open_placeholder since
  now it is also used for taking exclusive name-lock and not only
  by flush. 
  Introduced TABLE::is_name_opened() helper method which can be used
  to distinguish TABLE instances corresponding to open tables or
  placeholders for them from closed instances (e.g. due to their old
  version). Also introduced TABLE::needs_reopen_or_name_lock() helper
  which allows to check if TABLE instance corresponds to outdated
  version of table or to name-lock placeholder.
  Introduced TABLE_LIST::create member which marks elements of
  table list corresponds to the table to be created.
  Adjusted TABLE_LIST::placeholder() method to take into account 
  name-lock placeholders for tables to be created (this, for example,
  allows to properly handle such placeholders in lock_tables()).

Bug occurs in INSERT IGNORE ... SELECT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE
statements, when SELECT returns duplicated values and UPDATE clause
tries to assign NULL values to NOT NULL fields.
NOTE: By current design MySQL server treats INSERT IGNORE ... ON
DUPLICATE statements as INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE with update of
duplicated records, but MySQL manual lacks this information.
After this fix such behaviour becomes legalized.
