INVOKER-security view access check wrong".

When privilege checks were done for tables used from an 
INVOKER-security view which in its turn was used from 
a DEFINER-security view connection's active security
context was incorrectly used instead of security context
with privileges of the second view's creator.

This meant that users which had enough rights to access
the DEFINER-security view and as result were supposed to 
be able successfully access it were unable to do so in 
cases when they didn't have privileges on underlying tables 
of the INVOKER-security view.

This problem was caused by the fact that for INVOKER-security
views TABLE_LIST::security_ctx member for underlying tables
were set to 0 even in cases when particular view was used from 
another DEFINER-security view. This meant that when checks of
privileges on these underlying tables was done in
setup_tables_and_check_access() active connection security 
context was used instead of context corresponding to the 
creator of caller view.

This fix addresses the problem by ensuring that underlying
tables of an INVOKER-security view inherit security context
from the view and thus correct security context is used for
privilege checks on underlying tables in cases when such view 
is used from another view with DEFINER-security.

tmptable needed

The function DEFAULT() works by modifying the the data buffer pointers (often
referred to as 'record' or 'table record') of its argument. This modification
is done during name resolution (fix_fields().) Unfortunately, the same
modification is done when creating a temporary table, because default values
need to propagate to the new table.

Fixed by skipping the pointer modification for fields that are arguments to
the DEFAULT function.

This bug was introduced by patch for bug#42503.

This patch restores behaviour that there was before patch
for bug#42503 was applied.

Followup: had forgotten to update mysqltest.test due to changed output - duh!

The problem from a user point of view was that on Solaris the
time related functions (e.g. NOW(), SYSDATE(), etc) would always
return a fixed time.

This bug was happening due to a logic in the time retrieving
wrapper function which would only call the time() function every
half second. This interval between calls would be calculated
using the gethrtime() and the logic relied on the fact that time
returned by it is monotonic.

Unfortunately, due to bugs in the gethrtime() implementation,
there are some cases where the time returned by it can drift
(See Solaris bug id 6600939), potentially causing the interval
calculation logic to fail.

The solution is to retrieve the correct time whenever a drift in
the time returned by gethrtime() is detected. That is, do not
use the cached time whenever the values (previous and current)
returned by gethrtime() are not monotonically increasing.

to crash mysqld". 
      
handler::pushed_cond was not always properly reset when table objects where
recycled via the table cache.
      
handler::pushed_cond is now set to NULL in handler::ha_reset(). This should 
prevent pushed conditions from (incorrectly) re-apperaring in later queries.

WIN32 compilation fixes: define ETIMEDOUT only if not available and
fix typos and add a missing parameter.

From a user perspective, the problem is that a FLUSH LOGS or SIGHUP
signal could end up associating the stdout and stderr to random
files. In the case of this bug report, the streams would end up
associated to InnoDB ibd files.

The freopen(3) function is not thread-safe on FreeBSD. What this
means is that if another thread calls open(2) during freopen()
is executing that another thread's fd returned by open(2) may get
re-associated with the file being passed to freopen(3). See FreeBSD
PR number 79887 for reference:

  http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=79887

This problem is worked around by substituting a internal hook within
the FILE structure. This avoids the loss of atomicity by not having
the original fd closed before its duplicated.

Patch based on the original work by Vasil Dimov.

Do not use nested AC_CHECK_FUNC() because they result in:

./configure: line 52688: syntax error: unexpected end of file

(which happens only on some platforms and does not happen on others,
I have no idea what is the reason for this)

AC_CHECK_FUNCS(f1 f2 f3, ACTION_IF_PRESENT)
ACTION_IF_PRESENT is executed if any of f1, f2 or f3 is present.
Fix this misusage, we want the action to be executed if all of the
functions are present.

This assert could be triggered if -1 was inserted into
an auto increment column by a statement writing more than
one row.

Unless explicitly given, an interval of auto increment values
is generated when a statement first needs an auto increment
value. The triggered assert checks that the auto increment
counter is equal to or higher than the lower bound of this
interval.

Generally, the auto increment counter starts at 1 and is
incremented by 1 each time it is used. However, inserting an
explicit value into the auto increment column, sets the auto
increment counter to this value + 1 if this value is higher
than the current value of the auto increment counter.

This bug was triggered if the explicit value was -1. Since the
value was converted to unsigned before any comparisons were made,
it was found to be higher than the current vale of the auto
increment counter and the counter was set to -1 + 1. This value
was below the reserved interval and caused the assert to be
triggered the next time the statement tried to write a row.

With the patch for Bug#39828, this bug is no longer repeatable.
Now, -1 + 1 is detected as an "overflow" which causes the auto
increment counter to be set to ULONGLONG_MAX. This avoids hitting
the assert for the next insert and causes a new interval of
auto increment values to be generated. This resolves the issue.

This patch therefore only contains a regression test and no code
changes. Test case added to auto_increment.test.

mysqlbinlog only prints "use $database" statements to its output stream
when the active default database changes between events. This will cause
"No Database Selected" error when dropping and recreating that database.

To fix the problem, we clear print_event_info->db when printing an event
of CREATE/DROP/ALTER database statements, so that the Query_log_event
after such statements will be printed with the use 'db' anyway except
transaction keywords.
