The callers should indicate that the dictionary is locked or not using
the trx->dict_operation_lock_mode == RW_X_LATCH mode. Checking explicitly
for system tables is unnecessary.

Fix a debug assertion that was missed in svnrev:2380 (fix for Bug# 35352).

Remove a bogus debug assertion that triggered the bug.
Add assertions precisely where records must not be delete-marked.
And a comment to clarify when the record is allowed to be delete-marked.

  Currently we do a full validation of AHI whenever check tables is
  called on any table. This patch fixes this by only doing this full
  check in debug versions.

Problem: The original patch didn't compile on debug_werror
due to wrong format in printf("%d") for size_t variables.

Fix: Adding cast to (int).

/*![:version:] Query Code */, where [:version:] is a sequence of 5 
digits representing the mysql server version(e.g /*!50200 ... */),
is a special comment that the query in it can be executed on those 
servers whose versions are larger than the version appearing in the 
comment. It leads to a security issue when slave's version is larger 
than master's. A malicious user can improve his privileges on slaves. 
Because slave SQL thread is running with SUPER privileges, so it can
execute queries that he/she does not have privileges on master.

This bug is fixed with the logic below: 
- To replace '!' with ' ' in the magic comments which are not applied on
  master. So they become common comments and will not be applied on slave.

- Example:
  'INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (1) /*!10000, (2)*/ /*!99999 ,(3)*/
  will be binlogged as
  'INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (1) /*!10000, (2)*/ /* 99999 ,(3)*/

Do not attempt to test the innodb plugin with the embedded server,
it's not supported for now.

Problem: The functions my_like_range_xxx() returned
badly formed maximum strings for Asian character sets,
which made problems for storage engines.

Fix: 
- Removed a number my_like_range_xxx() implementations,
  which were in fact dumplicate code pieces.
- Using generic my_like_range_mb() instead.
- Setting max_sort_char member properly for Asian character sets
- Adding unittest/strings/strings-t.c, 
  to test that my_like_range_xxx() return well-formed 
  min and max strings.

Notes:

- No additional tests in mysql/t/ available.
  Old tests cover the affected code well enough.

InnoDB Plugin 1.0.10 has been released with MySQL 5.1.49.

Bug#49542 - Do as the comment suggests and downgrade directory errors from find_file() to a warning unless they happen during a SHOW command.

SHOW DATABASES LIKE ... was not converting to lowercase on comparison as the
documentation is suggesting. 
Fixed it to behave similarly to SHOW TABLES LIKE ... and updated the failing
on MacOSX lowercase_table2 test case.

Fix warnings flagged by the new warning option -Wunused-but-set-variable
that was added to GCC 4.6 and that is enabled by -Wunused and -Wall. The
option causes a warning whenever a local variable is assigned to but is
later unused. It also warns about meaningless pointer dereferences.

           due to GCC preprocessor change
      
The problem is that newer GCC versions treats missing headers
as fatal errors. The solution is to use a guard macro to prevent
the inclusion of system headers when checking the ABI with the
C Preprocessor.

           table with active trx

Essentially, the problem is that InnoDB does a implicit commit
when a cursor (table handler) is unlocked/closed, creating
a dissonance between the transaction state within the server
layer and the storage engine layer. Theoretically, a statement
transaction can encompass several table instances in a similar
manner to a multiple statement transaction, hence it does not
make sense to limit a statement transaction to the lifetime of
the table instances (cursors) used within it.

Since this particular instance of the problem is only triggerable
on 5.1 and is masked on 5.5 due 2PC being skipped (assertion is in
the prepare phase of a 2PC), the solution (which is less risky) is
to explicitly end the transaction before the cached table is unlock
on rename table.

The patch is to be null merged into trunk.

Problem: when SHOW BINLOG EVENTS was issued, it increased the value of
@@session.max_allowed_packet. This allowed a non-root user to increase
the amount of memory used by her thread arbitrarily. Thus, it removes
the bound on the amount of system resources used by a client, so it
presents a security risk (DoS attack).

Fix: it is correct to increase the value of @@session.max_allowed_packet
while executing SHOW BINLOG EVENTS (see BUG 30435). However, the
increase should only be temporary. Thus, the fix is to restore the value
when SHOW BINLOG EVENTS ends.
The value of @@session.max_allowed_packet is also increased in
mysql_binlog_send (i.e., the binlog dump thread). It is not clear if this
can cause any trouble, since normally the client that issues
COM_BINLOG_DUMP will not issue any other commands that would be affected
by the increased value of @@session.max_allowed_packet. However, we
restore the value just in case.

This assert checks that the server does not try to send OK to the
client if there has been some error during processing. This is done
to make sure that the error is in fact sent to the client.

The problem was that view errors during processing of WHERE conditions
in UPDATE statements where not detected by the update code. It therefore
tried to send OK to the client, triggering the assert.
The bug was only noticeable in debug builds.

This patch fixes the problem by making sure that the update code
checks for errors during condition processing and acts accordingly.

of the "embedded" server

Problem: mysqltest_embedded failed to load ha_innodb_plugin library
on some platforms (due to some unresolved references).

Fix: on FreeBSD use -export-dynamic flag building mysqltest_embedded.
That allows to use its global symbols to resolve references in the
dynamically loaded plugin library.

Calculating the estimated number of records for a range scan
may take a significant time, and it was impossible for a user
to interrupt that process by killing the connection or the
query.

Fixed by checking the thread's 'killed' status in
check_quick_keys() and interrupting the calculation process if
it is set to a non-zero value.
