Additional tests have been done and conclusion was to update maturity to stable

due to different packaging issues.

Also, Percona thinks that tar support has  many limitations
and should be removed as well( see discussion  in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/percona-xtrabackup/+bug/1681721)

there is an alternative streaming format xbstream that is supported and
does not have these limitations.

Snappy compression method require that output buffer
used for compression is bigger than input buffer.
Similarly lzo require additional work memory buffer.
Increase the allocated buffer accordingly.

buf_tmp_buffer_t: removed unnecessary lzo_mem, crypt_buf_free and
comp_buf_free.

buf_pool_reserve_tmp_slot: use alligned_alloc and if snappy
available allocate size based on snappy_max_compressed_length and
if lzo is available increase buffer by LZO1X_1_15_MEM_COMPRESS.

fil_compress_page: Remove unneeded lzo mem (we use same buffer)
and if output buffer is not yet allocated allocate based similarly
as above.

Decompression does not require additional work area.

    Modify test to use same test as other compression method tests.

Changed global parameters will be reset by server restart.
There is no need to save and restore the original values.

In commit 360a4a03
some debug assertions were introduced to the page flushing code
in XtraDB. Add these assertions to InnoDB as well, and adjust
the InnoDB shutdown so that these assertions will not fail.

logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown(): Advance
srv_shutdown_state from the first phase SRV_SHUTDOWN_CLEANUP
only after no page-dirtying activity is possible
(well, except by srv_master_do_shutdown_tasks(), which will be
fixed separately in MDEV-12052).

rotate_thread_t::should_shutdown(): Already exit the key rotation
threads at the first phase of shutdown (SRV_SHUTDOWN_CLEANUP).

page_cleaner_sleep_if_needed(): Do not sleep during shutdown.
This change is originally from XtraDB.

Significantly reduce the amount of InnoDB, XtraDB and Mariabackup
code changes by defining pfs_os_file_t as something that is
transparently compatible with os_file_t.

fix incorrect merge, 831b5318 was not fully merged into 10.0

uploaded 10.0, analyzed everything with the Impact=High
(and a couple of Medium)

In a merge conflict resolution, callers of the added function
rec_field_len_in_chars() were removed, but the function itself was not.

Problem:-
This crash happens because logged stmt is quite big and while writing
Annotate_rows_log_event it throws EFBIG error  but we ignore this error
and do not call cache_data->set_incident().

Solution:-
When we normally write Binlog_log_event we check for error EFBIG, but we did
do this for Annotate_rows_log_event. We check for this error and call
cache_data->set_incident() accordingly.

Throttling only works with when creating backup.  Attempt to use it with
 --copy-back results in crash, since throttle events are not initialized.
Thus, ignore throttling unless --backup is given.

lz4.cmake: Check if shared or static lz4 library has LZ4_compress_default
function and if it has define HAVE_LZ4_COMPRESS_DEFAULT.

fil_compress_page: If HAVE_LZ4_COMPRESS_DEFAULT is defined use
LZ4_compress_default function for compression if not use
LZ4_compress_limitedOutput function.

Introduced a innodb-page-compression.inc file for page compression
tests that will also search .ibd file to verify that pages
are compressed (i.e. used search string is not found). Modified
page compression tests to use this file.

Note that snappy method is not included because of MDEV-12615
InnoDB page compression method snappy mostly does not compress pages
that will be fixed on different commit.

This fixes warnings that were emitted when running InnoDB test
suites on a debug server that was compiled with GCC 7.1.0 using
the flags -O3 -fsanitize=undefined.

thd_requested_durability(): XtraDB can call this with trx->mysql_thd=NULL.
Remove the function in InnoDB, because it is not used there.

calc_row_difference(): Do not call memcmp(o_ptr, NULL, 0).

innobase_index_name_is_reserved(): This can be called with
key_info=NULL, num_of_keys=0.

innobase_dropping_foreign(), innobase_check_foreigns_low(),
innobase_check_foreigns(): This can be called with
drop_fk=NULL, n_drop_fk=0.

rec_convert_dtuple_to_rec_comp(): Do not invoke memcpy(end, NULL, 0).

On 64-bit systems, the constant 1 would be 32-bit (int or unsigned)
by default. Cast the constant to ulint before shifting to avoid a
-fsanitize=undefined warning or any potential overflow.

Fix a -fsanitizer=undefined warning that trx_undo_report_row_operation()
was being passed thr=NULL when the BTR_NO_UNDO_LOG_FLAG flag was set.

trx_undo_report_row_operation(): Remove the first two parameters.
The parameter clust_entry!=NULL distinguishes inserts from updates.

This should be a non-functional change (no observable change in
behaviour; slightly smaller code).

This is another correction of the patch for bug mdev-12670.
If a derived table is merged into a select with STRAIGHT_JOIN
modifier all IN subquery predicates contained in the
specification of the derived table cannot be subject to
conversion to semi-joins.

This patch is a correction of the patch for bug mdev-12670.
With the current code handling semi-joins the following must
be taken into account.
Conversion of an IN subquery predicate into semi-join
has to be blocked if the predicate occurs:
(a) in the ON expression of an outer join
(b) in the ON expression of an inner join embedded directly
    or indirectly in the inner nest of an outer join.
The patch for mdev-12670 blocked conversion to semi-joins only
in the case (a), but not in the case (b). This patch blocks
the conversion in both cases.

Allocate srv_sys statically so that the desired alignment can be
guaranteed. This silences -fsanitize=undefined warnings.
There probably is no performance impact of this, because the
reason for the alignment to ensure the absence of false sharing
between counters. Even with the misalignment, each counter would
have been been aligned at 64 bits, and the counters would reside
in separate cache lines.

The parameter thr of the function btr_cur_optimistic_insert()
is not declared as nonnull, but GCC 7.1.0 with -O3 is wrongly
optimizing away the first part of the condition
UNIV_UNLIKELY(thr && thr_get_trx(thr)->fake_changes)
when the function is being called by row_merge_insert_index_tuples()
with thr==NULL.

The fake_changes is an XtraDB addition. This GCC bug only appears
to have an impact on XtraDB, not InnoDB.

We work around the problem by not attempting to dereference thr
when both BTR_NO_LOCKING_FLAG and BTR_NO_UNDO_LOG_FLAG are set
in the flags. Probably BTR_NO_LOCKING_FLAG alone should suffice.

btr_cur_optimistic_insert(), btr_cur_pessimistic_insert(),
btr_cur_pessimistic_update(): Correct comments that disagree with
usage and with nonnull attributes. No other parameter than thr can
actually be NULL.

row_ins_duplicate_error_in_clust(): Remove an unused parameter.

innobase_is_fake_change(): Unused function; remove.

ibuf_insert_low(), row_log_table_apply(), row_log_apply(),
row_undo_mod_clust_low():
Because we will be passing BTR_NO_LOCKING_FLAG | BTR_NO_UNDO_LOG_FLAG
in the flags, the trx->fake_changes flag will be treated as false,
which is the right thing to do at these low-level operations
(change buffer merge, ALTER TABLE…LOCK=NONE, or ROLLBACK).
This might be fixing actual XtraDB bugs.

Other callers that pass these two flags are also passing thr=NULL,
implying fake_changes=false. (Some callers in ROLLBACK are passing
BTR_NO_LOCKING_FLAG and a nonnull thr. In these callers, fake_changes
better be false, to avoid corruption.)

Post xtradb 5.6.36 merge the output has changed.
