Repairing MyISAM table with fulltext indexes and low
myisam_sort_buffer_size may crash the server.

Estimation of number of index entries was done incorrectly,
causing further assertion failure or server crash.

Docs note: min value for myisam_sort_buffer_size has been
changed from 4 to 4096.

Invalid memory read if HANDLER ... READ NEXT is executed
after failed (e.g. empty table) HANDLER ... READ FIRST.

The problem was that we attempted to perform READ NEXT,
whereas there is no pivot available from failed READ FIRST.

With this fix READ NEXT after failed READ FIRST equals
to READ FIRST.

This bug affects MyISAM tables only.

When MyISAM writes newly created index page it may be
initialized partially. In other words some bytes of
sensible data and uninitialized tail of the page may
go into index file.

Under certain rare circumstances these hunks of memory
may contain data that would be otherwise inaccessible
to user, like passwords or data from other tables.

Fixed by initializing memory for temporary MyISAM key
buffer to '\0'.

No test case for this fix as it is heavily covered by
existing tests.

In innodb_bug38231.test: replace the fragile sleep 0.2 that depends on timing
with a more robust condition which waits for the TRUNCATE and LOCK commands
to appear in information_schema.processlist. This could also break if there
are other sessions executing the same SQL commands, but there are none during
the execution of the mysql test.

branches/5.1: fix bug#51653: outdated reference to set-variable
Non functional change.

If the listed columns in the view definition of 
the table used in a 'INSERT .. SELECT ..'
statement mismatched, a debug assertion would
trigger in the cache invalidation code
following the failing statement.

Although the find_field_in_view() function
correctly generated ER_BAD_FIELD_ERROR during
setup_fields(), the error failed to propagate
further than handle_select(). This patch fixes
the issue by adding a check for the return
value.

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.

  col equal to itself!

There's no need to copy the value of a field into itself.
While generally harmless (except for some performance penalties)
it may be dangerous when the copy code doesn't expect this.
Fixed by checking if the source field is the same as the destination
field before copying the data.
Note that we must preserve the order of assignment of the null 
flags (hence the null_value assignment addition).

The reason of the failure was apparent flaw in that a pointer to an uninitialized buffer was
passed to DBUG_PRINT of Protocol_text::store().

Fixed with splitting the print-out into two branches: 
one with length zero of the problematic arg and the rest.

Problem: caseup_multiply and casedn_multiply members      
were not initialized for a dynamic collation, so          
UPPER() and LOWER() functions returned empty strings.      
Fix: initializing the members properly.

Bug #49910: Behavioural change in SELECT/WHERE on YEAR(4) data type                                  
(Original patch by Sinisa Milivojevic)

The YEAR(4) value of 2000 was equal to the "bad" YEAR(4) value of 0000.                              

The get_year_value() function has been modified to not adjust bad                                    
YEAR(4) value to 2000.

comments to rpl_show_slave_running test are added to ease merging

The problem is that when we make conditon for
grouped result const part of condition is cut off.
It happens because some parts of 'having' condition
which refer to outer join become const after
make_join_statistics. These parts may be lost
during further having condition transformation
in JOIN::exec. The fix is adding 'having'
condition check for const tables after
make_join_statistics is performed.

DBUG_SYNC_POINT has at least one strong limitation that it's not defined
on all platforms. It has issues cooperating with @@debug.
All in all its functionality is superseded by DEBUG_SYNC facility and
there is no reason to maintain the old less flexible one.

Fixed with adding debug_sync_set_action() function as a facility to set up
a sync-action in the server sources code and re-writing existing simulations
(found 3) to use it.
Couple of tests have been reworked as well.

The patch offers a pattern for setting sync-points in replication threads
where the standard DEBUG_SYNC does not suffice to reach goals.

This has been back-ported from 6.0 as the problems proved to afflict 
5.1 as well.
The fix exposed two new bugs. They were reported as follows.
      
Bug no 52174: Sometimes wrong plan when reading a MAX value 
from non-NULL index
      
Bug no 52173: Reading NULL value from non-NULL index gives wrong 
result in embedded server 
      
Both bugs taken together affect a much smaller class of queries than #47762, 
so the fix stays for now.

Optimizer erroneously translated LEFT JOIN into INNER JOIN.
It leads to cutting rows with NULL right side. It happens
because Item_row uses not_null_tables() method form the
base(Item) class and does not calculate 'null tables'
properly. The fix is adding calculation of 'not null tables'
to Item_row.

The crash happens because of discrepancy between values of
conts_tables and join->const_table_map(make_join_statisctics).
Calculation of conts_tables used condition with
HA_STATS_RECORDS_IS_EXACT flag check. Calculation of
join->const_table_map does not use this flag check.
In case of MERGE table without union with index
the table does not become const table and
thus join_read_const_table() is not called
for the table. join->const_table_map supposes
this table is const and later in make_join_select
this table is used for making&calculation const
condition. As table record buffer is not populated
it leads to crash.
The fix is adding a check if an engine supports
HA_STATS_RECORDS_IS_EXACT flag before updating
join->const_table_map.

           for InnoDB
            
The class Field_bit_as_char stores the metadata for the
field incorrecly because bytes_in_rec and bit_len are set
to (field_length + 7 ) / 8 and 0 respectively, while
Field_bit has the correct values field_length / 8 and
field_length % 8.
            
Solved the problem by re-computing the values for the
metadata based on the field_length instead of using the
bytes_in_rec and bit_len variables.
            
To handle compatibility with old server, a table map
flag was added to indicate that the bit computation is
exact. If the flag is clear, the slave computes the
number of bytes required to store the bit field and
compares that instead, effectively allowing replication
*without conversion* from any field length that require
the same number of bytes to store.
