  FAIL IN EMBEDDED SERVER

FreeBSD 64 bit needs the FP_X_DNML to fpsetmask() to prevent exceptions from
propagating into mysql (as a threaded application).
However fpsetmask() itself is deprecated in favor of fedisableexcept().
1. Fixed the #ifdef to check for FP_X_DNML instead of i386.
2. Added a configure.in check for fedisableexcept() and, if present,
   this function is called insted of the fpsetmask().
No need for new tests, as the existing tests cover this already.
Removed the affected tests from the experimental list.

Since the Windows authentication support has been added to libmysql, this library depends on the system Secur32 library. Consequently, clients which are linked against libmysql should be also linked with Secur32 (in addition to ws2_32).

In MS VC++ it is possible to embed information about required libraries into object file using #pragma directive. This patch adds such directive when the Windows authentiaction support is compiled. This is similar to analogous #pragma for ws2_32 library in my_init.c

InnoDB 1.1.7 was released with MySQL 5.5.13

The types mysql_event_general/mysql_event_connection are
being cast to the incompatible type mysql_event. The way
mysql_event and the other types are designed are prone to
strict aliasing violations and can break things depending
on how compilers optimizes this code.

This patch fixes audit interface, so it confirms to strict-
aliasing rules. It introduces incompatible changes to audit
interface:
- mysql_event type has been removed;
- event_class has been removed from mysql_event_generic and
  mysql_event_connection types;
- st_mysql_audit::event_notify() second argument is event_class;
- st_mysql_audit::event_notify() third argument is event of type
  (const void *).

Separating out sub-test.

Be more explicit about path to (potential) plugin tests dirs

The check for empty password in the user account was checking the wrong field.
Fixed to check the proper password hash.
Test case added.
Fixed native_password and old_password plugins that suffered from the same
problems.
Unambuguated the auth_string ACL_USER member : previously it was used for 
both password and the authentication string (depending on the plugin). Now
fixed to contain either the authentication string specified or empty string.

             SECONDARY INDEX IN INNODB

This is a follow-up patch.

This patch moves part of the new test coverage to a test
file that is only run on debug builds since it used debug-
only features and therefore broke the test case on
release builds.

Sets INSTALL_PLUGINTESTDIR if any plugin/*/tests exist

innodb_prefix_index_liftedlimit.test used for functional testing of increase in prefix index limit

             SECONDARY INDEX IN INNODB

The patches for Bug#11751388 and Bug#11784056 enabled concurrent
reads while creating secondary indexes in InnoDB. However, they
introduced a regression. This regression occured if ALTER TABLE
failed after the index had been added, for example during the
lock upgrade needed to update .FRM. If this happened, InnoDB
and the server got out of sync with regards to which indexes
actually existed. Therefore the patch for Bug#11815600 again
disabled concurrent reads.

This patch re-enables concurrent reads. The original regression
is fixed by splitting the ADD INDEX operation into two parts.
First the new index is created but not made active. This is
done while concurrent reads are allowed. The second part of
the operation makes the index active (or reverts the change).
This is done after lock upgrade, which prevents the original
regression.

In order to implement this change, the patch changes the storage
API for in-place index creation. handler::add_index() is split
into two functions, handler_add_index() and
handler::final_add_index(). The former for creating indexes without
making them visible and the latter for commiting (i.e. making
visible) new indexes or reverting the changes.

Large parts of this patch were written by Marko Mäkelä.

Test case added to innodb_mysql_lock.test.

With this change, the index prefix column length lifted from 767 bytes
to 3072 bytes if "innodb_large_prefix" is set to "true".

mtr_start(): Declare the mtr memory area uninitialized in Valgrind
before initializing the fields.

mtr_commit(): Declare everything uninitialized except
mtr->start_lsn, mtr->end_lsn and mtr->state.

The test case problem stemmed from the fact that a debug sync
signal is a global variable that persists until overwritten
by a new signal. This means that if two different signals
are raised in sequence, a thread waiting for the first signal
might miss it if the second signal sets the global variable
before the thread wakes up.

The solution is to deliver a subsequent signal only after the
waiting thread has received it.

Added reading from plugin.defs files under plugins/*

The problem is that clients implementing the 4.0 version of the
protocol (that is, mysql-4.0) do not null terminate a string
at the end of the authentication packet. These clients denote
the end of the string with the end of the packet.

Although this goes against the documented (see MySQL Internals
ClientServer Protocol wiki) description of the protocol, these
old clients still need to be supported.

The solution is to support the documented and actual behavior
of the clients. If a client is using the pre-4.1 version of
the protocol, the end of a string in the authentication packet
can either be denoted with a null character or by the end of
the packet. This restores backwards compatibility with old
clients implementing either the documented or actual behavior.

Do this in the common plugin.cmake but only if running in PB2
  (If done in manual builds it would create a bzr diff)

The problem is that although AIX implements bzero, its prototype
is not declared by default. Since AC_CHECK_FUNC(bzero) succeeds
even though a prototype is not declared, this breaks compilation
in C++ files where a prototype is required.

The solution is to only use bzero if a prototype is also declared.

will create multiple running events.

A CREATE IF NOT EXIST on an event that existed and was enabled caused
multiple instances of the event to run. Disabling the event didn't  help.
If the event was  dropped, the event stopped running, but when created
again, multiple instances of the event were still running. The only way
to get out of this situation was  to restart the server.

The problem was that Event_db_repository::create_event() didn't return
enough information to discriminate between situation when event didn't
exist and was created and when event did exist and was not created
(but a warning was emitted). As result in the latter case event
was added to in-memory queue of events second time. And this led to
unwarranted multiple executions of the same event.

The solution is to add out-parameter to Event_db_repository::create_event()
method which will signal that event was not created because it already
exists and so it should not be added to the in-memory queue.
