DBUG_SYNC_POINT has at least one strong limitation that it's not defined
on all platforms. It has issues cooperating with @@debug.
All in all its functionality is superseded by DEBUG_SYNC facility and
there is no reason to maintain the old less flexible one.

Fixed with adding debug_sync_set_action() function as a facility to set up
a sync-action in the server sources code and re-writing existing simulations
(found 3) to use it.
Couple of tests have been reworked as well.

The patch offers a pattern for setting sync-points in replication threads
where the standard DEBUG_SYNC does not suffice to reach goals.

SunStudio
      
SunStudio compilers of late warn about methods that might hide
methods in base classes due to the use of overloading combined
with overriding. SunStudio also warns about variables defined
in local socpe or method arguments that have the same name as
a member attribute of the class.
      
This patch renames methods that might hide base class methods,
to make it easier both for humans and compilers to see what is
actually called. It also renames variables in local scope.

The problem was that UNINSTALL PLUGIN wasn't performing privilege
checks before removing a plugin. Any user (including users without 
any kind of privileges) could uninstall any plugin.

The solution is to verify if the user has the DELETE privilege for
the mysql.plugin table before uninstalling a plugin.

The problem is that Item_direct_view_ref which is inherited
from Item_ident updates orig_table_name and table_name with
the same values. The fix is introduction of new constructor
into Item_ident and up which updates orig_table_name and
table_name separately.

      
Applied a path from Jim Winstead : Added a GPL notice.
Added the missing '(c)' and 'v2'.

This bug was unexpectedly fixed along with bug 
number 49534. This patch contains only the test
case.

BUG#51342 - more xid crashing

Restore autocommit variable by supplying explicit value.

SET autocommit=1 while XA transaction is active may
cause various side effects, including memory corruption
and server crash.

The problem is that SET autocommit=1 and further queries
attempt to commit local transaction, whereas XA transaction
is still active.

As local and XA transactions are mutually exclusive, this
patch forbids enabling autocommit mode while XA transaction
is active.

MySQL uses two source layouts when building : the bzr 
layout and the source package layout.
The previous fix for bug 35250 contained 1 change that is
valid for both modes and a number of changes that are valid
only for the bzr source layout.
The important thing was to fix the source package layout.
And for this the change in configure.in was sufficient.
It's not trivial (and not requested by this bug) to support 
VPATH builds from the bzr trees.
This is why the other changes are reverted and the change to
fix the VPATH build for source distributions is left intact.

The test case added in previous patch missed a RESET MASTER on
test start up. Without it, showing binary log contents can
sometimes show spurious entries from previously executed tests,
ultimately causing test failure - result mismatch.

The test file was added in:
revid:luis.soares@sun.com-20100224190153-k0bpdx9abe88uoo2

This patch also moves the test case into binlog_innodb_row.test
file. This way we avoid having yet another test file,
binlog_row_innodb_truncate.test, whose only purpose is to host
one test case. This had been actually suggested during original
patch review, but somehow the binlog_innodb_row was missed when
searching for a file to host the test case.

mysql_upgrade was passing an non-initialized non-null tmpdir to create_temp_file() if no 
--tmpdir was specified. This prevents create_temp_file() from taking the system 
temporary file path and as a result mysql_upgrade was trying to open a file in a 
directory that it may not have write access to.
Fixed by making sure mysql_upgrade will pass a zero length temp dir string to 
create_temp_file() if no --tmpdir is specified.

output from HANDLER ... READ .. NEXT ...

The problem was that mysqltest could attempt to execute a
SHOW WARNINGS statement through a connection that was not
properly reaped, thus violating its own rules.

The solution is to skip SHOW WARNINGS if a connection has
not been properly repeaed.

The problem is that not all column names retrieved from a SELECT
statement can be used as view column names due to length and format
restrictions. The server failed to properly check the conformity
of those automatically generated column names before storing the
final view definition on disk.

Since columns retrieved from a SELECT statement can be anything
ranging from functions to constants values of any format and length,
the solution is to rewrite to a pre-defined format any names that
are not acceptable as a view column name.

The name is rewritten to "Name_exp_%u" where %u translates to the
position of the column. To avoid this conversion scheme, define
explict names for the view columns via the column_list clause.
Also, aliases are now only generated for top level statements.

The problem was that bits of the destructive equality propagation
optimization weren't being undone after the execution of a stored
program. Modifications to the parse tree that are based on transient
properties must be undone to enable the re-execution of stored
programs.

The solution is to cleanup any references to predicates generated
by the equality propagation during the execution of a stored program.

Spatial indexes were not checking for out-of-record condition in
the handler next command when the previous command didn't found
rows.

Fixed by making the rtree index to check for end of rows condition
before re-using the key from the previous search.

Fixed another crash if the tree has changed since the last search.
Added a test case for the other error.

            consider clustered primary keys

Choosing a shortest index for the covering index scan,
the optimizer ignored the fact, that the clustered primary
key read involves whole table data.

The find_shortest_key function has been modified to
take into account that fact that a clustered PK has a
longest key of possible covering indices.

This is *no* change in contents, the differences are formatting only
