The cause of the problem is a bad merge MariaDB-5.1=>MariaDB-5.2.

Added the vcol suite to the list of the default suites run 
by mysql-test-run.pl.

2. don't copy st_mysql_plugin structure unnecessary (sizeof hasn't changed)

storage/myisam/mi_create.c:
  Don't set HA_OPTION_NULL_FIELDS if table is not using CHECKSUM as this makes the table incompatible with MySQL.

- Now DELETE IGNORE skips over rows with a foreign key constraints (as it was supposed to do)


mysql-test/r/foreign_key.result:

mysql-test/t/foreign_key.test:
  Test case for Bug#44987 DELETE IGNORE and FK constraint

  Firx for Bug#44987 DELETE IGNORE and FK constraint

  Bug fix inspired by: Moritz Mertinkat

Add some extra error output and code cleanup in an attempt to fix/debug
a rare random testsuite problem in check_warnings, where the exit code
from mysqltest is somehow corrupted inside mysql-test-run.pl.

include/my_global.h:
  Fix compiler warnings on some platforms.
mysql-test/lib/My/SafeProcess.pm:
  Move dereference of $? subprocess exit code closer to where it is generated,
  to make the code more robust and on the chance that this will fix the
  occasional problems in check_warnings we see in Buildbot.
mysql-test/mysql-test-run.pl:
  When check_warnings failed, also log the mysqld server for which it failed.
sql/sql_lex.cc:
  Fix compiler warning about possibly uninitialised value, by rewriting a for()
  loop that is always executed at least once into a do .. while() loop with an
  assert.
sql/table.cc:
  Fix compiler warning about uninitialised value.
storage/federatedx/ha_federatedx.cc:
  Fix uninitialised variable.
storage/maria/ma_delete.c:
  Fix compiler warning about uninitialised value.
storage/maria/ma_loghandler.c:
  Fix compiler warning about uninitialised value.
storage/myisam/ft_stopwords.c:
  Fix compiler warning.
storage/myisam/mi_write.c:
  Fix compiler warning about possibly uninitialised value, by rewriting a while()
  loop that is always executed at least once into a do .. while() loop with an
  assert.
storage/xtradb/btr/btr0cur.c:
  Fix compiler warning about possibly uninitialised value.
support-files/compiler_warnings.supp:
  Fix warning suppression to cover all cases in yassl.
vio/viossl.c:
  Fix compiler warning.

 - Adjust timing in test case, to avoid test failures caused by high load
   on machines and consequent race conditions in the test case.

 - Add another variant of Valgrind suppressions for memory leak in system
   libraries when unloading dynamic object files.


mysql-test/r/information_schema.result:
  Adjust timing to avoid test failures due to races.
mysql-test/t/information_schema.test:
  Adjust timing to avoid test failures due to races.
mysql-test/valgrind.supp:
  Add another variant of valgrind suppression for leak in system libs.

query:
- When subquery is located in ORDER BY, EXPLAIN will run as follows:
  select_describe() will run JOIN::prepare()/optimize() for the subquery;
  then at some point subselect_single_select_engine::prepare() will be called,
  which will create another join and run join->prepare().

  In mainline mysql this is not a problem because subquery's join will be 
  destroyed after the first call. 
  In MariaDB, it won't (table elimination needs to keep JOIN objects around
  for longer in order to know which tables were eliminated when constructing
  EXPLAIN EXTENDED warning).

  Fix the problem of memory leak by calling select_lex->cleanup() in 
  subselect_single_select_engine::prepare().

tmp_table_size can now be set to 0 (to disable in memory internal temp tables)
Improved speed for internal Maria temp tables:
- Don't use packed keys, except with long text fields.
- Don't copy key all accessed pages during key search.
Some new benchmark tests to sql-bench (for group by)

BUILD/compile-pentium64-gcov:
  Update script to use same pentium_config flags as other tests
BUILD/compile-pentium64-gprof:
  Update script to use same pentium_config flags as other tests
include/my_sys.h:
  Added count of my_sync calls
mysql-test/r/variables.result:
  tmp_table_size can now be set to 0
sql-bench/test-select.sh:
  Added some new test for GROUP BY on a not key field and group by with different order by
sql/mysqld.cc:
  Added count of my_sync calls
  tmp_table_size can now be set to 0 (to disable in memory internal temp tables)
sql/sql_select.cc:
  If tmp_table_size is 0, don't use in memory temp tables (good for benchmarking MyISAM/Maria temp tables)
  Don't pack keys for Maria tables;  The 8K page size makes packed keys too slow for temp tables.
storage/maria/ma_key_recover.h:
  Moved definition to maria_def.h
storage/maria/ma_page.c:
  Moved code used to simplify comparing of identical Maria tables to own function (page_cleanup())
  Fixed that one can read a page with a read lock.
storage/maria/ma_rkey.c:
  For not exact key reads, cache the page where we found key (to speed up future read-next/read-prev calls)
storage/maria/ma_search.c:
  Moved code to cache last key page to separate function.
  Instead of copying pages, only get a link to the page. This notable speeds up key searches on bigger tables.
storage/maria/ma_write.c:
  Added comment
storage/maria/maria_def.h:
  Moved page_cleanup() to separate function.

Bug#46949: memory leak with failed alter table to create partitions based on extract()

Bug#51830: Incorrect partition pruning on range partition (regression)

Fixed valgrind failure in select_describe(), read of uninitialized 
  Item_subselect::eliminated.

sql/item_subselect.cc:
    Fixed valgrind failure in select_describe(), read of uninitialized 
    Item_subselect::eliminated: 
    - it turns out we can call select_describe() without having fixed 
      subquery items for child subselects. These are not the kind of subqueries
      that we could eliminate, so the fix is to ensure that 
      item_subselect->eliminated==FALSE even before fix_fields is called.
      Also added code to reset item_subselect->eliminated back to FALSE in
      Item::reset() call.
sql/item_subselect.h:
    Fixed valgrind failure in select_describe(), read of uninitialized 
    Item_subselect::eliminated: 
    - it turns out we can call select_describe() without having fixed

      item_subselect->eliminated==FALSE even before fix_fields is called.
      Also added code to reset item_subselect->eliminated back to FALSE in
      Item::reset() call.
sql/sql_partition.cc:
  Fix Bug#51830: Revert part of the patch for Bug#49742, which caused the regression.
sql/table.cc:
  Fix Bug#46949: memory leak in failed ALTER TABLE with partitioning.

Save no-records constant tables in JOIN::const_table_map before we invoke
eliminate_tables(). Failure to do so caused crash when the same table was
marked as constant two times

  Save no-records constant tables in JOIN::const_table_map before we invoke eliminate_tables(). Failure to do so caused crash when the same table was marked as constant two times.

(Problem was missing time_zone setting)

- When analying multiple equalities, take into account that they 
  may not have a single table field that belongs to one of the tables
  that we're trying to eliminate (and they are not useful for table
  elimination in that case)

When one does a drop table, the indexes are not flushed to disk before drop anymore (with MyISAM/Maria)
myisam-recover options changed from OFF to 'DEFAULT' to get less change of data loss when using MyISAM.
(The disadvantage is that changed MyISAM tables will be checked at access time; Use --myisam-recover=OFF for old behavior)

This allows one to send an extra command to the mysql server to setup the environment before starting tests.

path names than 99 characters, using the USTAR format of the
resulting source TAR.

To be able to specify the use of USTAR when creating the source
TAR, we needed both to update the GNU autotools version requirements
slightly, and update the initiation of the tools to use more
modern constructs.
