The bug is a duplicate of MySQL's Bug#11764086,
however MySQL's fix is incomplete for MariaDB, so
this fix is slightly different.

In addition, this patch renames
Item_func_not_all::top_level() to is_top_level_item()
to make it in line with the analogous methods of
Item_in_optimizer, and Item_subselect.

Analysis:
It is possible to determine whether a predicate is
NULL-rejecting only if it is a top-level one. However,
this was not taken into account for Item_in_optimizer.
As a result, a NOT IN predicate was erroneously
considered as NULL-rejecting, and the NULL-complemented
rows generated by the outer join were rejected before
being checked by the NOT IN predicate.

Solution:
Change Item_in_optimizer to be considered as
NULL-rejecting only if it a top-level predicate.

opt_range.cc: modified print_key() so that it doesn't do memory re-allocs when
printing multipart keys over varchar columns. When it did, key printout in 
debug trace was interrupted with my_malloc/free printouts.

BUG#826935 Assertion `!table || (!table->read_set || bitmap_is_set(table->read_set, field_index))' failed
- add_ref_to_table_cond() should not just overwrite pre_idx_push_select_cond
  with the contents tab->select_cond.
  pre_idx_push_select_cond exists precisely for the reason that it may contain
  a condition that is a strict superset of what is in tab->select_cond. 
  The fix is to inject generated equality into pre_idx_push_select_cond.

The value of maybe_null flag should be saved for the second execution
of a prepared statement from SELECT that uses an outer join.

- Make simplify_joins() set maybe_null=FALSE for tables that were on the 
  inner sides of inner joins and then were moved to the inner sides of semi-joins.

If mysqld --log-warnings=3 or higher, then print all check and repair warnings for MyISAM tables to the log.
This is useful when trying to find out why an automatic myisam repair failes.

  If mysqld --log-warnings=3 or higher, then print all check and repair warnings for MyISAM tables to the error log.

Fixed bug that MAX_USER_CONNECTIONS was not working properly in all situations (which could cause aborted connects)
thd->user_connect is now handled in thd->clenup() which will ensure that it works in all context (including slaves).
I added also some DBUG_ASSERT() to ensure that things are working correctly.


sql/sql_acl.cc:
  Reset thd->user_connect on failed check_for_max_user_connections() to ensure we don't decrement value twice.
  Removed not needed call to decrease_user_connections() as thd->cleanup() will now do it.
sql/sql_class.cc:
  Call decrease_user_connections() in thd->cleanup()
sql/sql_connect.cc:
  Ensure we don't allocate thd->user_connect twice.
  Simplify check_for_max_user_connections().
sql/sql_parse.cc:
  Ensure that thd->user_connect is handled properly in for 'change_user' command.

storage/maria/ma_recovery.c:
  Moved trman_init() before parse_checkpoint_record() as this calls trnman functions if we have to open tables.

The bug was that when using bulk insert combined with lock table, we intitalized the io cache with the wrong file position.
This fixed a bug where MariaDB could not read in a table dump done with mysqldump.

Fixes bugs found by testcase for lp:815022 and lp:726374 "ma_blockrec.c:3000: write_block_record: Assertion `cur_block[1].page_count == 0' failed with a multi-index Aria workload"
The issues was:
- For some tables with a lot of not packed fields, we didn't allocate enough memory in head page which caused DBUG_ASSERT's
- Removed wrong DBUG_ASSERT()
- Fixed a problem with underflow() where it generates a key page where all keys didn't fit.
- Max key length is now limited by block_size/3  (was block_size /2).  This is required for underflow() to work with packed keys.

storage/maria/ma_bitmap.c:
  Fixed wrong variable usage in find_where_to_split_row() where we allocated too little memory for head page.
  We did not take into account space for head extents (long VARCHAR) when trying to split row on head page. This caused us to allocate too little space from bitmap which lead to ASSERT failures later.

  Make keyinfo->underflow_block_length smaller for packed keys. This has to be done as for long packed keys, underflow() otherwise generates a key page where all keys didn't fit.

  New DBUG_ASSERT()

  Fixed comment

  We have to have space for at least 3 keys on a key page.

The bug was a wrong check in aria_chk;  The table was fine.

The method Item_ref::not_null_tables() returned incorrect bitmap
for outer references to view columns. This could cause an invalid
conversion of an outer join into an inner join that could lead
to a wrong result set for a query with a correlated subquery over
an outer join whose where condition had an outer reference to a view.

The method Item_func_isnull::update_used_tables() erroneously did not
update cached values stored in the fields used_tables_cache and
const_item_cache of the Item_func_isnull objects. As a result the
Item_func_isnull::used_tables() returned wrong bitmaps and, as a
consequence, push-down predicates could be attached to wrong tables.

Fixed bug lp:814054 'Assertion `block->hash_link == hash_link && hash_link->block == block' in ma_pagecache.c:2275 with Aria'

This fixes a bug that when you use mysqldump --no-create-info to generate a dump that you want to merge with an existing table,
you can get an innodb table with duplicated unique keys.
Patch orignally by Eric Bergen.


client/mysqldump.c:
  Only use UNIQUE_CHECKS=0 for tables that are created.
  This solves the issue that you can't get duplicate unique keys when merging two dumps.
mysql-test/r/mysqldump.result:
  Test for mysqldump --no-create-info

This bug is a special case of lp:813447.

Analysis:
Constant optimization finds that the condition t2.a = 1
can be used to access the primary key of table 't2'. As
a result both outer table t1,t2 are considered as constant
when we reach the execution phase. At the same time, during
constant optimization, the IN predicate is not evaluated
because it is expensive.

When execution of the outer query reaches do_select(),
control flow enter the branch:
if (join->table_count == join->const_tables)
{ ... }
This branch checks only the WHERE and HAVING clauses,
but doesn't check the ON clauses of the query. Since the
IN predicate was not evaluated during optimization, it is
not evaluated at all, thus execution doesn't detect that
the ON clause is FALSE.

Solution:
Similar to the patch for bug lp:813447, exclude system
tables from constant substitution based on unique key
lookups if there is an expensive ON condition on the
inner table.

Do not optimize derived table for the second time ever.

- create_ref_for_key() has the code that walks KEYUSE array and tries to use
  maximum number of keyparts for ref (and eq_ref and ref_or_null) access.
  When one constructs ref access for table that is inside a SJ-Materialization
  nest, it is not possible to use tables that are ouside the nest (because 
  materialization is performed before they have any "current value").
  The bug was caused by this function not taking this into account.

The reason for the long shutdown is hanging in io threads. It appears
that just closing completion port on XP does not necessarily signal 
thread waiting in GetIOCompletionStatus() (even if this works fine
on later Windows versions)

The fix is to wakeup background threads using PostQueuedCompletionStatus()
with a special 'key' parameter indicating shutdown.

The reason for the crash is Innodb assertion after trying to load condition variables function
dynamically and not finding them

The fix is to skip dynamic loading if srv_use_native_conditions is FALSE. srv_use_native_conditions 
is derived from Windows version and would be FALSE on XP and TRUE on later Windows.

This is the same handling as in MySQL 5.. In Maria 5.3 srv_use_native_conditions check was 
presumably  lost in the downporting.
