Two conflicts resolved manually:
Text conflict in sql/log.cc
Text conflict in sql/mysqld.cc

Problem: MYSQL_BIN_LOG::reset_logs acquires mutexes in wrong order.
The correct order is first LOCK_thread_count and then LOCK_log. This function
does it the other way around. This leads to deadlock when run in parallel
with a thread that takes the two locks in correct order. For example, a thread
that disconnects will take the locks in the correct order.
Fix: change order of the locks in MYSQL_BIN_LOG::reset_logs:
first LOCK_thread_count and then LOCK_log.

Assertion happens due to missing NULL value check in
Item_func_round::fix_length_and_dec() function.
The fix: added NULL value check for second parameter.

Execution of platforms tests are slow/flaky when building on windows.
in PB:mysql-next-mr-opt-team on 2011-05-18 for win x86 debug_max, i see:
-- Looking for FIONREAD
-- Looking for FIONREAD - found
and the build fails.

Not for test itself but because it procuces large number of warnings,
  and this may take >90s to filter on slow boxes

Replace global check_timeout with one that calls testcase_timeout for the test

Added --with-gcov option to configure.pl and use that from SETUP.sh

BUG#12578441, reintroduced thd->cleanup() in unlink_thd, removed by mistake, added private interface to this function

Use [g]zip on core file if available, ignore if not
Skip if running named test, and print a line saying what it compressed.

Fix a deadlock in the initial patch. lock_validate() must not hold the
lock system mutex while s-latching a block, because some functions,
such as lock_rec_convert_impl_to_expl(), may be already holding an x-latch
on the block that lock_validate() is interested in while attempting to
acquire the lock system mutex.

This deadlock was not caught by UNIV_SYNC_DEBUG because of
buf_block_dbg_add_level(block, SYNC_NO_ORDER_CHECK).

lock_clust_rec_some_has_impl(), row_get_rec_trx_id(),
lock_rec_queue_validate(), lock_table_other_has_incompatible(),
lock_table_has_to_wait_in_queue(), lock_table_queue_validate():
Add const qualifiers.

row_get_trx_id_offset(): Add const qualifiers. Keep the parameter rec
only in UNIV_DEBUG builds. Inline the function.

lock_rec_validate_page(): Take the buffer block as a parameter, to
avoid a buf_page_get_gen() call in most cases.

lock_rec_validate_page_low(): A version of lock_rec_validate_page()
that assumes that the lock system mutexes are already being held.

lock_rec_get_next_on_page_const(): A const variant of
lock_rec_get_next_on_page().

lock_validate(): Do not release the lock system mutex while
buffer-fixing the block for the lock_rec_validate_page() call.
Releasing the mutex apparently caused the assertion failure.

message:
  Suppress the Bug #58815 (Bug #11765812) assertion failure.

  buf_page_get_gen(): Introduce BUF_GET_POSSIBLY_FREED for suppressing the
  check that the file page must not have been freed.

  btr_estimate_n_rows_in_range_on_level(): Pass BUF_GET_POSSIBLY_FREED and
  explain in the comments why this is needed and why it should be mostly
  harmless to ignore the problem. If InnoDB had always initialized all
  unused fields in data files, no problem would exist.

  This change does not fix the bug, it just "shoots the messenger".

Automerged bzr bundle from bug report into latest mysql-5.5.

In RBR and in case of converting blob fields, the space allocated
while unpacking into the conversion field was not freed after
copying from it into the real field.

We fix this by freeing the conversion field when the conversion
table is not needed anymore (on close_tables_to_lock).

from 5.1->5.5.
