            causes incorrect duplicate entries

Keys for BTREE indexes on ENUM and SET columns of MEMORY tables
with character set UTF8 were computed incorrectly. Many
different column values got the same key value.

Apart of possible performance problems, it made unique indexes
of this type unusable because it rejected many different
values as duplicates.

The problem was that multibyte character detection was tried
on the internal numeric column value. Many values were not
identified as characters. Their key value became blank filled.

Thanks to Alexander Barkov and Ramil Kalimullin for the patch,
which sets the character set of ENUM and SET key segments to
the pseudo binary character set.

Using a MEMORY table BTREE index for scanning for updatable rows
could lead to an infinite loop.

Everytime a key was inserted into a btree index, the position
in the index scan was cleared. The search started from the
beginning and found the same key again.

Now we do not clear the position on key insert an more.

TABLE ... WRITE".

CPU hogging occured when connection which had to wait for table lock was
serviced by thread which previously serviced connection that was killed
(note that connections can reuse threads if thread cache is enabled).
One possible scenario which exposed this problem was when thread which
provided binlog dump to replication slave was implicitly/automatically
killed when the same slave reconnected and started pulling data through
different thread/connection.
In 5.* versions memory hogging was added to CPU hogging. Moreover in
those versions the problem also occured when one killed particular query
in connection (using KILL QUERY) and later this connection had to wait for
some table lock.

This problem was caused by the fact that thread-specific mysys_var::abort
variable, which indicates that waiting operations on mysys layer should
be aborted (this includes waiting for table locks), was set by kill
operation but was never reset back. So this value was "inherited" by the
following statements or even other connections (which reused the same
physical thread). Such discrepancy between this variable and THD::killed
flag broke logic on SQL-layer and caused CPU and memory hogging.

This patch tries to fix this problem by properly resetting this member.

There is no test-case associated with this patch since it is hard to test
for memory/CPU hogging conditions in our test-suite.

            my_seek: Assertion `fd != -1' failed"

In difficult optimize/repair situations the server could crash.
Under some circumstances the server retries an optimize/repair
with more elaborate options. But it did not check if the first
attempt failed so badly that a second one must not be tried.

This could happen when a new data file has been created
but it was not possible to open it. In this case the
repair leaves behind a table with closed data file.
This must not be used for another repair attempt.

We do now detect the closed data file and do not try
another repair attempt in this situation.

No test case. The required table corruption can not be
repeated easily. There is a test program attached to
bug 25433.

  Added test for sched_yield() possibly in -lposix4 on Solaris

            differences in tables
Certain merge tables were wrongly reported as having incorrect definition:
- Some fields that are 1 byte long (e.g. TINYINT, CHAR(1)), might
  be internally casted (in certain cases) to a different type on a
  storage engine layer. (affects 4.1 and up)
- If tables in a merge (and a MERGE table itself) had short VARCHAR column (less
  than 4 bytes) and at least one (but not all) tables were ALTER'ed (even to an
  identical table: ALTER TABLE xxx ENGINE=yyy), table definitions went ouf of
  sync. (affects 4.1 only)

This is fixed by relaxing a check for underlying conformance and setting
field type to FIELD_TYPE_STRING in case varchar is shorter than 4
when a table is created.

          incorrect key file for table

In certain cases it could happen that deleting a row could
corrupt an RTREE index.

According to Guttman's algorithm, page underflow is handled
by storing the page in a list for later re-insertion. The
keys from the stored pages have to be inserted into the
remaining pages of the same level of the tree. Hence the
level number is stored in the re-insertion list together
with the page.

In the MySQL RTree implementation the level counts from zero
at the root page, increasing numbers for levels down the tree.

If during re-insertion of the keys the tree height grows, all
level numbers become invalid. The remaining keys will be
inserted at the wrong level.

The fix is to increment the level numbers stored in the
reinsert list after a split of the root block during reinsertion.

Using INSERT DELAYED on MERGE tables could lead to table
corruptions.

The manual lists a couple of storage engines, which can be
used with INSERT DELAYED. MERGE is not in this list.

The attempt to try it anyway has not been rejected yet.
This bug was not detected earlier as it can work under
special circumstances. Most notable is low concurrency.

To be safe, this patch rejects any attempt to use INSERT
DELAYED on MERGE tables.

When the ORDER BY clause gets fixed it's allowed to search in the current
item_list in order to find aliased fields and expressions. This is ok for a
SELECT but wrong for an UPDATE statement. If the ORDER BY clause will
contain a non-existing field which is mentioned in the UPDATE set list
then the server will crash due to using of non-existing (0x0) field.

When an Item_field is getting fixed it's allowed to search item list for
aliased expressions and fields only for selects.
