This warning also happens in 5.1 with a slightly different codepath.

used (--with-zlib-dir=bundled) then there is no libz.so involved.

Add suppressions for a bogus valgrind warnings.

btr_rec_get_field_ref_offs(), btr_rec_get_field_ref(): New functions.
Get the pointer to an externally stored field.

btr_cur_set_ownership_of_extern_field(): Assert that the BLOB has not
already been disowned.

btr_store_big_rec_extern_fields(): Rename to
btr_store_big_rec_extern_fields_func() and add the debug parameter
update_in_place. All pointers to externally stored columns in the
record must either be zero or they must be pointers to inherited
columns, owned by this record or an earlier record version. For any
BLOB that is stored, the BLOB pointer must previously have been
zero. When the function completes, all BLOB pointers must be nonzero
and owned by the record.

row_purge(): Change the return type to void. (The return value always
was DB_SUCCESS.) Remove some local variables.

row_undo_mod_remove_clust_low(): Remove some local variables.

Antelope files in btr_check_blob_fil_page_type(). Unfortunately, we
must keep the check in production builds, because InnoDB wrote
uninitialized garbage to FIL_PAGE_TYPE until fairly recently (5.1.x).

It was the enabling of UNIV_DEBUG_FILE_ACCESSES that caught Bug #55284
in the first place. This is a very light piece of of debug code, and
there really is no reason why it is not enabled in all debug builds.

trx rollback or purge

This patch does not relax the failing debug assertion during purge.
That will be revisited once we have managed to repeat the assertion failure.

row_upd_changes_ord_field_binary_func(): Renamed from
row_upd_changes_ord_field_binary(). Add the parameter que_thr_t* in
UNIV_DEBUG builds. When the off-page column cannot be retrieved,
assert that the current transaction is a recovered one and that it is
the one that is currently being rolled back.

row_upd_changes_ord_field_binary(): A wrapper macro for
row_upd_changes_ord_field_binary_func() that discards the que_thr_t*
parameter unless UNIV_DEBUG is defined.

row_purge_upd_exist_or_extern_func(): Renamed from
row_purge_upd_exist_or_extern(). Add the parameter que_thr_t* in
UNIV_DEBUG builds.

row_purge_upd_exist_or_extern(): A wrapper macro for
row_purge_upd_exist_or_extern_func() that discards the que_thr_t*
parameter unless UNIV_DEBUG is defined.

Make trx_roll_crash_recv_trx const. If there were a 'do not
dereference' attribute, it would be appropriate as well.

Third updated patch - this version also includes copyright notice in added Perl script.
This patch implements a check for such modules at runtime. If modules are not found or unable to load, the test is skipped with 
the following message:
            
            [ skipped ]  Test needs Perl modules DBI and DBD::mysql
            
Checks are done via a helper Perl script which looks for the module in a runtime environment that is as similar to that of the 
mysqlhotcopy script as possible (thus not intended for Windows environments at this time).
The helper script tells mysql-test about the result by writing information to a temporary file that is later read by mysql-test.
See comments in added files (have_dbi_dbd-mysql.inc and checkDBI_DBD-mysql.pl) for details.
The patch also removes the mysqlhotcopy tests from the list of disabled tests.

trx_get_trx_by_xid(): Invalidate trx->xid after a successful lookup,
so that subsequent callers will not find the same transaction.

The only callers of trx_get_trx_by_xid() will be invoking
innobase_commit_low() or innobase_rollback_trx(), and those code paths
should not depend on trx->xid.

Fix backported from to 5.0.
"Remove the alignment option, let valgrind use its default"

Updated the copyright.

due to potentially uninitialized variable

row_upd_changes_ord_field_binary(): Initialize dfield_len to suppress the
warning. The compiler cannot know that row_ext_lookup() does initialize
dfield_len for us, as it is defined in a different module.

mlog_parse_string(): Enclose the comparison in UNIV_UNLIKELY,
not the comparand.

row_vers_build_for_semi_consistent_read(): Dereference version_trx before
releasing kernel_mutex, but not thereafter.

buf_block_alloc(): ulint zip_size is always 0.
buf_LRU_get_free_block(): ulint zip_size is always 0.
buf_LRU_free_block(): ibool* buf_pool_mutex_released is always NULL.

Remove these parameters.

buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Simplify the initialization of block->page.zip
and release buf_pool_mutex() earlier.

Updated Copyright.

Race condition may occur: mtr sees the .expect file but it's empty
Fix: wait and try again if file is empty
Addendum: try again if line isn't 'wait' or 'restart'
Also added verbose printout of extra restart options

When dates are represented internally as strings, i.e. when a string constant
is compared to a date value, both values are converted to long integers,
ostensibly for fast comparisons. DATE typed integer values are converted to
DATETIME by multiplying by 1,000,000 (each digit pair representing hour,
minute and second, respectively). But the mechanism did not distuinguish
cached INTEGER values, already in correct format, from newly converted
strings.

Fixed by marking the INTEGER cache as being of DATETIME format.
