Details:
- Add "sync_slave_with_master" at test end
- Restore the initial value of log_bin_trust_function_creators

without proper formatting
      
The problem is that a suitably crafted database identifier
supplied to COM_CREATE_DB or COM_DROP_DB can cause a SIGSEGV,
and thereby a denial of service. The database name is printed
to the log without using a format string, so potential
attackers can control the behavior of my_b_vprintf() by
supplying their own format string. A CREATE or DROP privilege
would be required.
      
This patch supplies a format string to the printing of the
database name. A test case is added to mysql_client_test.

                               But Should Be "Zero Rows"


After applying the innodb snapshot 5.0-ss5406 for bug#40565, the windows push build
tests failed because of the missing cast of void * pointer in row0sel.c file

Informed the innodb developers and received patch by email.

BUG#38479 - valgrind warnings in show table status for innodb tables

Fix Bug#38479 valgrind warnings in show table status for innodb tables

by initializing prebuilt->hint_need_to_fetch_extra_cols.

  Details:
  - Limit the queries to character sets and collations
    which are most probably available in all build types.
    But try to preserve the intention of the tests.
  - Remove the variants adjusted to some build types.

  Note:
  1. The results of the review by Bar are included.
  2. I am not able to check the correctness of this patch
     on any existing build type and any MySQL version.
     So it could happen that the new test fails somewhere.

occasionally.

mysql_multi can call mysqld_safe. In doing this it's not changing the 
current working directory. This may cause confusion in the case where 
mysqld_multi is handling instances of servers of different versions 
and the current working directory is the installation directory of one 
of these servers.

Fixed by enhancing the meaning of basedir in [mysqldN] sections of 
mysqld_multi. If specified, mysqld_multi will change the current 
working directory to the basedir directory before starting the server 
in mysqld_multi ... start ... and then change it back to what it was.

      
Failure to allocate memory for the hash->array element,
caused hash_init to return without initializing the other
members of the hash. Thus although the dynamic array
buffer may be allocated at a later point in the code, the
incompletely initialized hash caused fatal failures.

This patch moves the initialization of the other members
of the hash above the array allocation, so that the usage
of this hash will not result in fatal failures.

      
Inconsistent behavior of session variable max_allowed_packet 
(and net_buffer_length); only assignment to the global variable 
has any effect, without this being obvious to the user.
      
The patch for Bug#22891 is backported to 5.0, making the two
session variables read-only. As this is a backport to GA 
software, the error used when trying to assign to the read-
only variable is ER_UNKNOWN_ERROR. The error message is the 
same as in 5.1+.

 
Change the default optimization level for Sun Studio to "-O1". 
This is a workaround for a Sun Studio bug (see bug #41710 
comments for details): 
 
1. Use $GCC instead of $ac_cv_prog_gcc to check for gcc, since 
the first one is the only documented way to do it. 
 
2. Use $GXX instead of $ac_cv_prog_cxx_g to check for g++, 
since the latter is set to "yes" when the C++ compiler accepts 
"-g" which is the case for both g++ and CC. 
 
3. When building with Sun Studio, set the default values for 
CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS to "-O1", since unlike GCC, Sun Studio 
interprets "-O" as "-xO3" (see the manual pages for cc and CC).

crashes server!

The problem affects the scenario when index merge is followed by a filesort
and the sort buffer is not big enough for all the sort keys.
In this case the filesort function will read the data to the end through the 
index merge quick access method (and thus closing the cursor etc), 
but will leave the pointer to the quick select method in place.
It will then create a temporary file to hold the results of the filesort and
will add it as a sort output file (in sort.io_cache).
Note that filesort will copy the original 'sort' structure in an automatic
variable and restore it after it's done.
As a result at exiting filesort() we have a sort.io_cache filled in and 
nothing else (as a result of close of the cursors at end of reading data 
through index merge).
Now create_sort_index() will note that there is a select and will clean it up
(as it's been used already by filesort() reading the data in). While doing that
a special case in the index merge destructor will clean up the sort.io_cache,
assuming it's an output of the index merge method and is not needed anymore.
As a result the code that tries to read the data back from the filesort output 
will get no data in both memory and disk and will crash.
      
Fixed similarly to how filesort() does it : by copying the sort.io_cache structure
to a local variable, removing the pointer to the io_cache (so that it's not freed 
by QUICK_INDEX_MERGE_SELECT::~QUICK_INDEX_MERGE_SELECT) and restoring the original 
structure (together with the valid pointer) after the cleanup is done.
This is a safe thing to do because all the structures are already cleaned up by
hitting the end of the index merge's read method (QUICK_INDEX_MERGE_SELECT::get_next()) 
and the cleanup code being written in a way that tolerates repeating cleanups.

WHERE and GROUP BY clause

Loose index scan may use range conditions on the argument of 
the MIN/MAX aggregate functions to find the beginning/end of 
the interval that satisfies the range conditions in a single go.
These range conditions may have open or closed minimum/maximum 
values. When the comparison returns 0 (equal) the code should 
check the type of the min/max values of the current interval 
and accept or reject the row based on whether the limit is 
open or not.
There was a wrong composite condition on checking this and it was
not working in all cases.
Fixed by simplifying the conditions and reversing the logic.

While reading a binary log that is being used by a master or was not properly
closed, most likely due to a crash, the following warning message is being
printed out: "Warning: this binlog was not closed properly. Most probably mysqld
crashed writing it.". This was scaring our users as the message was not taking
into account the possibility of the file is being just used by the master.

To avoid unnecessarily scaring our users, we replace the original message by the
following one: Warning: "this binlog is either is use or was not closed properly.".

Backport to MySQL 5.0/1 fix by Vladislav Vaintroub:

In Vista and later and also in when using terminal services, when
server is started from  command line, client cannot connect to it
via shared memory protocol.

This is a regression introduced when  Bug#24731 was fixed.  The
reason is that client is trying to attach to shared memory using
global kernel object  namespace (all kernel objects are prefixed
with Global\). However, server started from the command line in
Vista and later will create shared memory and events using current
session namespace. Thus, client is unable to find the server and
connection fails.

The fix for the client is to first try to find server using "local"
names  (omitting Global\  prefix) and only if server is not found,
trying global namespace.

            memory issue ? 
 
The mysql command line client could misinterpret some character 
sequences as commands under some circumstances. 
 
The upper limit for internal readline buffer was raised to 1 GB 
(the same as for server's max_allowed_packet) so that any input 
line is processed by add_line() as a whole rather than in 
chunks.
