Some of the server implementations don't support dates later
than 2038 due to the internal time type being 32 bit.
Added checks so that the server will refuse dates that cannot
be handled by either throwing an error when setting date at 
runtime or by refusing to start or shutting down the server if 
the system date cannot be stored in my_time_t.

Problem: one with SELECT privilege on some table may dump other table
performing COM_TABLE_DUMP command due to missed check of the table name.

Fix: check the table name.

This fixes a recently introduced regression, where a variable is
not defined for the embedded server. Although the embedded server
is not supported in 5.0, make it at least compile.

      
MySQL handles the join syntax "JOIN ... USING( field1,
... )" and natural joins by building the same parse tree as
a corresponding join with an "ON t1.field1 = t2.field1 ..."
expression would produce. This parse tree was not cleaned up
properly in the following scenario. If a thread tries to
lock some tables and finds that the tables were dropped and
re-created while waiting for the lock, it cleans up column
references in the statement by means a per-statement free
list. But if the statement was part of a stored procedure,
column references on the stored procedure's free list
weren't cleaned up and thus contained pointers to freed
objects.
      
Fixed by adding a call to clean up the current prepared
statement's free list.

This is a backport from MySQL 5.1

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

message:
  Bug #53371: COM_FIELD_LIST can be abused to bypass table level grants.
  
  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.

The server could be tricked to read packets indefinitely if it
received a packet larger than the maximum size of one packet.
This problem is aggravated by the fact that it can be triggered
before authentication.

The solution is to no skip big packets for non-authenticated
sessions. If a big packet is sent before a session is authen-
ticated, a error is returned and the connection is closed.

Problem: "COM_FIELD_LIST is an old command of the MySQL server, before there was real move to only
SQL. Seems that the data sent to COM_FIELD_LIST( mysql_list_fields() function) is not
checked for sanity. By sending long data for the table a buffer is overflown, which can
be used deliberately to include code that harms".

Fix: check incoming data length.

The problem was in an incorrect debug assertion. The expression
used in the failing assertion states that when finding
references matching ORDER BY expressions, there can be only one
reference to a single table. But that does not make any sense,
all test cases for this bug are valid examples with multiple
identical WHERE expressions referencing the same table which
are also present in the ORDER BY list.

Fixed by removing the failing assertion. We also have to take
care of the 'found' counter so that we count multiple
references only once. We rely on this fact later in
eq_ref_table().

When making sure that the directory path ends up with a 
slash/backslash we need to check for the correct length of 
the buffer and trim at the appropriate location so we don't
write past the end of the buffer.

The crash is the result of an attempt made by JOIN::optimize to evaluate
the WHERE condition when no records have been actually read.
The fix is to remove erroneous 'outer_join' variable check.

The crash happens because greedy_serach
can not determine best plan due to
wrong inner table dependences. These
dependences affects join table sorting
which performs before greedy_search starting.
In our case table which has real 'no dependences'
should be put on top of the list but it does not
happen as inner tables have no dependences as well.
The fix is to exclude RAND_TABLE_BIT mask from
condition which checks if table dependences
should be updated.

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.

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.

If an outer query is broken, a subquery might not even get set up.
EXPLAIN EXTENDED did not expect this and merrily tried to de-ref all
of the half-setup info.

We now catch this case and print as much as we have, as it doesn't cost us
anything (doesn't make regular execution slower).

backport from 5.1

      
Fixed crash caused by x64 int/long incompatibility introduced
in Bug #29125.

When EXPLAIN EXTENDED tries to print column names, it checks whether the
referenced table is CONST (in which case, the column's value rather than
its name will be printed). If no proper table is reference (i.e. because
a derived table was used that has since gone out of scope), this will fail
spectacularly.

This ports an equivalent of the fix for Bug 43354.
