MDEV-4280: Assertion `empty_size == empty_size_on_page' failure in ma_blockrec.c or ER_NOT_KEYFILE on query with DISTINCT and GROUP BY
This could happen when using Aria for internal temporary files (default case) and using DISTINCT.
_ma_scan_restore_block_record() didn't work correctly if there was rows inserted, updated or deleted on the handler
between calls to _ma_scan_remember_block_record() and _ma_scan_restore_block_record().
The effect was that some DISTINCT queries that used remove_dup_with_compare() could fail.

        Need to check if the number of points is 0 for the polygon.

        Forgotten DBUG_ASSERT should be replaced with the 'return error'.

Item_default_value inherited form Item_field so should create temporary table field similary.

    Additional fixes for possible overflows in length-related
    calculations in 'spatial' implementations.
    Checks added to the ::get_data_size() methods.
    max_n_points decreased to occupy less 2G size. An
    object of that size is practically inoperable anyway.

Item_func_make_set wasn't taking into account the first argument when

      The bug was found by Alyssa Milburn.
      If the number of points of a geometry feature read from
      binary representation is greater than 0x10000000, then
      the (uint32) (num_points * 16) will cut the higher byte,
      which leads to various errors.
      Fixed by additional check if (num_points > max_n_points).

MySQL Bug#14664077 SEVERE PERFORMANCE DEGRADATION IN SOME CASES WHEN USER VARIABLES ARE USED


sql/item_func.cc:
  don't use anything from Item_func_set_user_var::fix_fields()
  in Item_func_set_user_var::save_item_result()
sql/sql_class.cc:
  Call suv->save_item_result(item) *before* doing suv->fix_fields(), because
  the former evaluates the item (and caches its value), while the latter marks
  the user variable as non-const. The problem is that the item was fix_field'ed
  when the user variable was const, and it doesn't expect it to change to non-const
  in the middle of the execution.

  we'll use a much less expensive approach.

Analysis:
Range analysis discoveres that the query can be executed via loose index scan for GROUP BY.
Later, GROUP BY analysis fails to confirm that the GROUP operation can be computed via an
index because there is no logic to handle duplicate field references in the GROUP clause.
As a result the optimizer produces an inconsistent plan. It constructs a temporary table,
but on the other hand the group fields are not set to point there.
    
Solution:
Make loose scan analysis work in sync with order by analysis. In the case of duplicate
columns loose scan will not be applicable. This limitation will be lifted in 10.0 by
removing duplicate columns.

MDEV-729 lp:998028 - Server crashes on normal shutdown in closefrm after executing a query from MyISAM table

don't write a key value into the record buffer - a key length can be larger then the record length.

MDEV-759 lp:998340 - Valgrind complains on simple selects containing expression DAY(FROM_UNIXTIME(-1))

check item->null_value before using the result of item->val_int()

This bug could result in returning 0 for the expressions of the form 
<aggregate_function>(distinct field) when the system variable  
max_heap_table_size was set to a small enough number.
It happened because the method Unique::walk() did not support
the case when more than one pass was needed to merge the trees
of distinct values saved in an external file.

Backported a fix in grant_lowercase.test from mariadb 5.5.

MDEV-4029 SELECT on information_schema using a subquery locks up the information_schema table due to incorrect mutexes handling
  
Early evaluation of subqueries in the WHERE conditions on I_S.*_STATUS tables,
otherwise the subquery on this same table will try to acquire LOCK_status twice.

			    DIAGNOSTICS_AREA::SET_OK_STATUS

			    DIAGNOSTICS_AREA::SET_OK_STATUS

Test fails on 5.1 valgrind build. This is because of close(-1)
system call.

    I_MAIN.CTYPE_UTF8 FOR MACOSX10.6 FOR 5.1

While converting directory name to filename, a
file separator (FN_LIBCHAR) might get appended
to the resulting file name. This can result in
off-by-one error when length of the input string
is equal to FN_REFLEN. In this case, the terminating
'\0' gets written beyond the buffer allocated to store
the result.

Fixed by incrementing the dst buffer size by 1. As
extra safety, switched to strnmov() and added a debug
assert to check the length of the input file name.

No test case added as the scenario is already
covered by the test cases added for bugs in
the description.

Problem:If Disk becomes full while writing into the binlog,
then the server instance hangs till someone frees the space.
After user frees up the disk space, mysql server crashes
with an assert (m_status != DA_EMPTY)

Analysis: wait_for_free_space is being called in an
infinite loop i.e., server instance will hang until
someone frees up the space. So there is no need to
set status bit in diagnostic area.

Fix: Replace my_error/my_printf_error with
sql_print_warning() which prints the warning in error log.

include/my_sys.h:
  Provision to call sql_print_warning from mysys files
mysys/errors.c:

Details of BUG#11746142: CALLING MYSQLD WHILE ANOTHER 
INSTANCE IS RUNNING, REMOVES PID FILE
Fix: Before removing the pid file, ensure it was created
by the same process, leave it intact otherwise.

sql/mysqld.cc:
  delete_pid_file() introduced, which checks that the pid file
          belongs to the process before removing it

Some shell interpreters do not support '-e' test
primary to construct conditions.

man test 1 (on S10)
...skip...
-e file True if file exists. (Not available in sh.)
...skip...

Hence, check for the existence of a file using
'-e' might result in a syntax error on such
shell programs.

Fixed by replacing it by '-f'.

Problem:
For detailed description, see Bug#42502. This bug is a duplicate
of Bug#42502. The complete fix for Bug#42502 was not made as
proposed. Hence the bug still persists.
      
Fix:
Make the changes as proposed originally for the bugfix of 42502.
Which is to remove the allocation of the memory before we actually
check for any errors.

Fixing a pb2 issue.  There is some difference in the output in my local machine and pb2 machines in the explain output.  

              TO SIGNED
Problem:
When we are joining types (of fields) in case of a union, we usually
upgrade the datatypes to the largest present in the query.
In case of mediumint, it is not happening.
Analysis:
When joined with types LONG and LONGLONG, mediumint should get
upgraded to LONG and LONGLONG respectively.
W.r.t the given query, constant '1' will be created as a LONGLONG
internally and SIGNED flag is enabled. As a result, while combining
types for the field, LONGLONG along with MEDIUMINT gets converted
to LONG first. LONG with MEDIUMINT(of the third select) gets converted
to MEDIUMINT. SIGNED FLAG would be that of the first field's.
As a result, the final result would be SIGNED MEDIUMINT.
Fix:
While joining types, MEDIUMINT with LONGLONG and MEDIUMINT with LONG
is converted to LONGLONG and LONG respectively. Also, made some 
changes for FLOAT and DOUBLE.


sql/field.cc:
  Changed merge types for MEDIUMINT.
