Dumping information about locks in use by sending a SIGHUP signal
to the server or by invoking the "mysqladmin debug" command may
lead to a server crash in debug builds or to undefined behavior in
production builds.

The problem was that a mutex that protects a lock object (THR_LOCK)
might have been destroyed before the lock object was actually removed
from the list of locks in use, causing a race condition with other
threads iterating over the list. The solution is to destroy the mutex
only after removing lock object from the list.

Send_field.org_col_name has broken value on secondary execution.
It happens when result field is created from the field which belongs to view
due to forgotten assignment of some Send_field attributes. 
The fix:
set Send_field.org_col_name,org_table_name with correct value during Send_field intialization.

is used causes server crash.
  Revert the fix : unstable test case revealed by pushbuild

more clever gcc version checking.

Tilde expansion could fail when it was to expand to an empty string (such as
when HOME is set to an empty string), especially on systems where size_t is
unsigned.

Length value is the length of the field,
Max_length is the length of the field value.
So Max_length can not be more than Length.
The fix: fixed calculation of the Item_empty_string item length

(Patch applied and queued on demand of Trudy/Davi.)

When the fractional part in a multiplication of DECIMALs
overflowed, we truncated the first operand rather than the
longest. Now truncating least significant places instead
for more precise multiplications.

Problem: FEDERATED SE improperly stores NULL fields in the record buffer.

Fix: store them properly.

used causes server crash.

When the loose index scan access method is used values of aggregated functions
are precomputed by it. Aggregation of such functions shouldn't be performed
in this case and functions should be treated as normal ones.
The create_tmp_table function wasn't taking this into account and this led to
a crash if a query has MIN/MAX aggregate functions and employs temporary table
and loose index scan.
Now the JOIN::exec and the create_tmp_table functions treat MIN/MAX aggregate
functions as normal ones when the loose index scan is used.

Post-merge fix: mysql_client_test.c is compiled by C compilers
and some C compilers don't support mixed declarations and code
and it's explicitly forbidden by ISO C90.

Fixed missing DBUG_RETURN in the function find_key_block

This fix is for 5.0 only : back porting the 6.0 patch manually

The parser code in sql/sql_yacc.yy needs to be more robust to out of
memory conditions, so that when parsing a query fails due to OOM,
the thread gracefully returns an error.

Before this fix, a new/alloc returning NULL could:
- cause a crash, if dereferencing the NULL pointer,
- produce a corrupted parsed tree, containing NULL nodes,
- alter the semantic of a query, by silently dropping token values or nodes

With this fix:
- C++ constructors are *not* executed with a NULL "this" pointer
when operator new fails.
This is achieved by declaring "operator new" with a "throw ()" clause,
so that a failed new gracefully returns NULL on OOM conditions.

- calls to new/alloc are tested for a NULL result,

- The thread diagnostic area is set to an error status when OOM occurs.
This ensures that a request failing in the server properly returns an
ER_OUT_OF_RESOURCES error to the client.

- OOM conditions cause the parser to stop immediately (MYSQL_YYABORT).
This prevents causing further crashes when using a partially built parsed
tree in further rules in the parser.

No test scripts are provided, since automating OOM failures is not
instrumented in the server.
Tested under the debugger, to verify that an error in alloc_root cause the
thread to returns gracefully all the way to the client application, with
an ER_OUT_OF_RESOURCES error.

            
Server side cursors were not initialized properly and this caused a reference to
uninitialized memory.

Bug#35220: ALTER TABLE too picky on reserved word "foreign"

In ALTER TABLE, change the internal parser to search for
``FOREIGN[[:space:]]'' instead of only ``FOREIGN'' when parsing
ALTER TABLE ... DROP FOREIGN KEY ...; otherwise it could be mistaken
with ALTER TABLE ... DROP foreign_col;

(This fix is already present in MySQL 5.1 and higher.)

	running on Windows

We used two OS-specific methods of looking up the executable 
name, which don't work outside of those two kinds of OSes 
(Linux+Solaris and Windows).

We assume that if the user ran this program with a certain 
name, we can run the other sibling programs with a similar name.

(re-patch in bzr)

Fall back to "find" if bzr is unavailable.

Don't fail for paths that have spaces in them.

The init and test sql files were not created at cross-compilation time.

Now, make them in the default build rule.  Additionally, remove the "fix" 
SQL instructions, which are unnecessary for newly initialized databases.
Also, clean up the english in an error message, and BZRify nwbootstrap.

Bug #34286  Assertion failure in thread 2816 in file .\row\row0sel.c line 3500
Since autoinc init performs a MySQL SELECT query to determine the auto-inc
value, set prebuilt->sql_stat_start = TRUE so that it is performed like any
normal SELECT, regardless of the context in which it was invoked.


Bug #35352  If InnoDB crashes with UNDO slots full error the error persists on restart
We've added a heuristic that checks the size of the UNDO slots cache lists
(insert and upate). If either of cached lists has more than 500 entries then we
add any UNDO slots that are freed, to the common free list instead of the cache
list, this is to avoid the case where all the free slots end up in only one of
the lists on startup after a crash.

Tested with test case for 26590 and passes all mysql-test(s).

Bug #36600  SHOW STATUS takes a lot of CPU in buf_get_latched_pages_number
Fixed by removing the Innodb_buffer_pool_pages_latched variable from SHOW
STATUS output in non-UNIV_DEBUG compilation.

      
Reset session sql_mode before creating system tables as it
is done in the mysql_fix_privilege_tables.sql script.

      
min() and max() functions are implemented in MySQL as macros.
This means that max(a,b) is expanded to: ((a) > (b) ? (a) : (b))
Note how 'a' is quoted two times.
Now imagine 'a' is a recursive function call that's several 10s of levels deep.
And the recursive function does max() with a function arg as well to dive into
recursion.
This means that simple function call can take most of the clock time.
Identified and fixed several such calls to max()/min() : including the IF() 
sql function implementation.
