            proc_info_hook, mysys access to thd->proc_info

This patch is necessary for backport of WL#4284 "Transactional
DDL locking".


include/my_global.h:
  proc_info_hook
include/my_sys.h:
   proc_info_hook
mysys/my_static.c:
  proc_info_hook
sql/mysqld.cc:
  proc_info_hook
sql/sql_class.cc:
  proc_info_hook

mysqld crashed in network_init()).

The problem was that current_thd was not ready at that point in mysqld life,
so ER() macro could not be used.

The fix is to use ER_DEFAULT() macro, which is intented for such cases.

  WL#3726 "DDL locking for all metadata objects".

  After review fixes in progress.
------------------------------------------------------------

This is the first patch in series. It transforms the metadata 
locking subsystem to use a dedicated module (mdl.h,cc). No 
significant changes in the locking protocol. 
The import passes the test suite with the exception of 
deprecated/removed 6.0 features, and MERGE tables. The latter
are subject to a fix by WL#4144.
Unfortunately, the original changeset comments got lost in a merge,
thus this import has its own (largely insufficient) comments.

This patch fixes Bug#25144 "replication / binlog with view breaks".
Warning: this patch introduces an incompatible change:
Under LOCK TABLES, it's no longer possible to FLUSH a table that 
was not locked for WRITE.
Under LOCK TABLES, it's no longer possible to DROP a table or
VIEW that was not locked for WRITE.

  Fix for assert failures in kill.test which occured when one
  tried to kill ALTER TABLE statement on merge table while it
  was waiting in wait_while_table_is_used() for other connections
  to close this table.

  These assert failures stemmed from the fact that cleanup code
  in this case assumed that temporary table representing new
  version of table was open with adding to THD::temporary_tables
  list while code which were opening this temporary table wasn't
  always fulfilling this.

  This patch changes code that opens new version of table to
  always do this linking in. It also streamlines cleanup process
  for cases when error occurs while we have new version of table
  open.

Make sure we close the new table only once.

.bzrignore:
  Add libmysqld/mdl.cc
libmysqld/CMakeLists.txt:
  Added mdl.cc to the list of files needed for building of libmysqld.
libmysqld/Makefile.am:
  Added files implementing new meta-data locking subsystem to the server.
mysql-test/include/handler.inc:
  Use separate connection for waiting while threads performing DDL
  operations conflicting with open HANDLER tables reach blocked
  state. This is required because now we check and close tables open
  by HANDLER statements in this connection conflicting with DDL in
  another each time open_tables() is called and thus select from I_S
  which is used for waiting will unblock DDL operations if issued
  from connection with open HANDLERs.
mysql-test/r/create.result:
  Adjusted test case after change in implementation of CREATE TABLE
  ... SELECT.  We no longer have special check in open_table() which
  catches the case when we select from the table created. Instead we
  rely on unique_table() call which happens after opening and
  locking all tables.
mysql-test/r/flush.result:
  FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK can no longer happen under LOCK
  TABLES.  Updated test accordingly.
mysql-test/r/flush_table.result:
  Under LOCK TABLES we no longer allow to do FLUSH TABLES for tables
  locked for read. Updated test accordingly.
mysql-test/r/handler_innodb.result:
  Use separate connection for waiting while threads performing DDL
  operations conflicting with open HANDLER tables reach blocked
  state. This is required because now we check and close tables open
  by HANDLER statements in this connection conflicting with DDL in
  another each time open_tables() is called and thus select from I_S

mysql-test/r/information_schema.result:
  Additional test for WL#3726 "DDL locking for all metadata
  objects".  Check that we use high-priority metadata lock requests
  when filling I_S tables.
  
  Rearrange tests to match 6.0 better (fewer merge conflicts).
mysql-test/r/kill.result:
  Added tests checking that DDL and DML statements waiting for
  metadata locks can be interrupted by KILL command.
mysql-test/r/lock.result:
  One no longer is allowed to do DROP VIEW under LOCK TABLES even if
  this view is locked by LOCK TABLES. The problem is that in such
  situation write locks on view are not mutually exclusive so
  upgrading metadata lock which is required for dropping of view
  will lead to deadlock.
mysql-test/r/partition_column_prune.result:
  Update results (same results in 6.0), WL#3726
mysql-test/r/partition_pruning.result:
  Update results (same results in 6.0), WL#3726
mysql-test/r/ps_ddl.result:
  We no longer invalidate prepared CREATE TABLE ... SELECT statement
  if target table changes. This is OK since it is not strictly
  necessary.
  
  
  The first change is wrong, is caused by FLUSH TABLE
  now flushing all unused tables. This is a regression that
  Dmitri fixed in 6.0 in a follow up patch.
mysql-test/r/sp.result:
  Under LOCK TABLES we no longer allow accessing views which were
  not explicitly locked. To access view we need to obtain metadata
  lock on it and doing this under LOCK TABLES may lead to deadlocks.
mysql-test/r/view.result:
  One no longer is allowed to do DROP VIEW under LOCK TABLES even if
  this view is locked by LOCK TABLES. The problem is that in such
  situation even "write locks" on view are not mutually exclusive so
  upgrading metadata lock which is required for dropping of view
  will lead to deadlock
mysql-test/r/view_grant.result:
  ALTER VIEW implementation was changed to open a view only after
  checking that user which does alter has appropriate privileges on
  it. This means that in case when user's privileges are
  insufficient for this we won't check that new view definer is the
  same as original one or user performing alter has SUPER privilege.
  Adjusted test case accordingly.
mysql-test/r/view_multi.result:
  Added test case for bug#25144 "replication / binlog with view
  breaks".
mysql-test/suite/rpl/t/disabled.def:
  Disable test for deprecated features (they don't work with new MDL).
mysql-test/t/create.test:
  Adjusted test case after change in implementation of CREATE TABLE
  ... SELECT.  We no longer have special check in open_table() which
  catches the case when we select from the table created. Instead we
  rely on unique_table() call which happens after opening and
  locking all tables.
mysql-test/t/disabled.def:
  Disable merge.test, subject of WL#4144
mysql-test/t/flush.test:
  
  FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK can no longer happen under LOCK
  TABLES.  Updated test accordingly.
mysql-test/t/flush_table.test:
  Under LOCK TABLES we no longer allow to do FLUSH TABLES for tables
  locked for read. Updated test accordingly.
mysql-test/t/information_schema.test:
  Additional test for WL#3726 "DDL locking for all metadata
  objects".  Check that we use high-priority metadata lock requests
  when filling I_S tables.
  
  Rearrange the results for easier merges with 6.0.
mysql-test/t/kill.test:
  Added tests checking that DDL and DML statements waiting for
  metadata locks can be interrupted by KILL command.
mysql-test/t/lock.test:
  One no longer is allowed to do DROP VIEW under LOCK TABLES even if
  this view is locked by LOCK TABLES. The problem is that in such
  situation write locks on view are not mutually exclusive so
  upgrading metadata lock which is required for dropping of view
  will lead to deadlock.
mysql-test/t/lock_multi.test:
  Adjusted test case to the changes of status in various places
  caused by change in implementation FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK,
  which is now takes global metadata lock before flushing tables and
  therefore waits on at these places.
mysql-test/t/ps_ddl.test:
  We no longer invalidate prepared CREATE TABLE ... SELECT statement

sql/CMakeLists.txt:
  Added mdl.cc to the list of files needed for building of server.
sql/Makefile.am:
  Added files implementing new meta-data locking subsystem to the
  server.
sql/event_db_repository.cc:
  
  Allocate metadata lock requests objects (MDL_LOCK) on execution
  memory root in cases when TABLE_LIST objects is also allocated
  there or on stack.
sql/ha_ndbcluster.cc:
  Adjusted code to work nicely with new metadata locking subsystem.
  close_cached_tables() no longer has wait_for_placeholder argument.
  Instead of relying on this parameter and related behavior FLUSH
  TABLES WITH READ LOCK now takes global shared metadata lock.
sql/ha_ndbcluster_binlog.cc:
  Adjusted code to work with new metadata locking subsystem.
  close_cached_tables() no longer has wait_for_placeholder argument.
  Instead of relying on this parameter and related behavior FLUSH
  TABLES WITH READ LOCK now takes global shared metadata lock.
sql/handler.cc:
  update_frm_version():
    Directly update TABLE_SHARE::mysql_version member instead of
    going through all TABLE instances for this table (old code was a
    legacy from pre-table-definition-cache days).
sql/lock.cc:
  Use new metadata locking subsystem. Threw away most of functions
  related to name locking as now one is supposed to use metadata
  locking API instead.  In lock_global_read_lock() and
  unlock_global_read_lock() in order to avoid problems with global
  read lock sneaking in at the moment when we perform FLUSH TABLES
  or ALTER TABLE under LOCK TABLES and when tables being reopened
  are protected only by metadata locks we also have to take global
  shared meta data lock.
sql/log_event.cc:
  Adjusted code to work with new metadata locking subsystem.  For
  tables open by slave thread for applying RBR events allocate
  memory for lock request object in the same chunk of memory as
  TABLE_LIST objects for them. In order to ensure that we keep these
  objects around until tables are open always close tables before
  calling Relay_log_info::clear_tables_to_lock(). Use new auxiliary
  Relay_log_info::slave_close_thread_tables() method to enforce
  this.
sql/log_event_old.cc:
  Adjusted code to work with new metadata locking subsystem.  Since
  for tables open by slave thread for applying RBR events memory for
  lock request object is allocated in the same chunk of memory as
  TABLE_LIST objects for them we have to ensure that we keep these
  objects around until tables are open. To ensure this we always
  close tables before calling
  Relay_log_info::clear_tables_to_lock(). To enfore this we use
  new auxiliary Relay_log_info::slave_close_thread_tables()
  method.
sql/mdl.cc:
  Implemented new metadata locking subsystem and API described in
  WL3726 "DDL locking for all metadata objects".
sql/mdl.h:
  Implemented new metadata locking subsystem and API described in
  WL3726 "DDL locking for all metadata objects".
sql/mysql_priv.h:
  - close_thread_tables()/close_tables_for_reopen() now has one more
    argument which indicates that metadata locks should be released
    but not removed from the context in order to be used later in
    mdl_wait_for_locks() and tdc_wait_for_old_version().
  - close_cached_table() routine is no longer public.
  - Thread waiting in wait_while_table_is_used() can be now killed
    so this function returns boolean to make caller aware of such
    situation.
  - We no longer have  table cache as separate entity instead used
    and unused TABLE instances are linked to TABLE_SHARE objects in
    table definition cache.
  - Now third argument of open_table() is also used for requesting
    table repair or auto-discovery of table's new definition. So its
    type was changed from bool to enum.
  - Added tdc_open_view() function for opening view by getting its
    definition from disk (and table cache in future).
  - reopen_name_locked_table() no longer needs "link_in" argument as
    now we have exclusive metadata locks instead of dummy TABLE
    instances when this function is called.
  - find_locked_table() now takes head of list of TABLE instances
    instead of always scanning through THD::open_tables list. Also
    added find_write_locked_table() auxiliary.
  - reopen_tables(), close_cached_tables() no longer have
    mark_share_as_old and wait_for_placeholder arguments. Instead of
    relying on this parameters and related behavior FLUSH TABLES
    WITH READ LOCK now takes global shared metadata lock.
  - We no longer need drop_locked_tables() and
    abort_locked_tables().
  - mysql_ha_rm_tables() now always assume that LOCK_open is not
    acquired by caller.
  - Added notify_thread_having_shared_lock() callback invoked by
    metadata locking subsystem when acquiring an exclusive lock, for
    each thread that has a conflicting shared metadata lock.
  - Introduced expel_table_from_cache() as replacement for
    remove_table_from_cache() (the main difference is that this new
    function assumes that caller follows metadata locking protocol
    and never waits).
  - Threw away most of functions related to name locking. One should
    use new metadata locking subsystem and API instead.
sql/mysqld.cc:
  Got rid of call initializing/deinitializing table cache since now
  it is embedded into table definition cache. Added calls for
  initializing/ deinitializing metadata locking subsystem.
sql/rpl_rli.cc:
  Introduced auxiliary Relay_log_info::slave_close_thread_tables()
  method which is used for enforcing that we always close tables
  open for RBR before deallocating TABLE_LIST elements and MDL_LOCK
  objects for them.
sql/rpl_rli.h:
  Introduced auxiliary Relay_log_info::slave_close_thread_tables()
  method which is used for enforcing that we always close tables
  open for RBR before deallocating TABLE_LIST elements and MDL_LOCK
  objects for them.
sql/set_var.cc:
  close_cached_tables() no longer has wait_for_placeholder argument.
  Instead of relying on this parameter and related behavior FLUSH
  TABLES WITH READ LOCK now takes global shared metadata lock.
sql/sp_head.cc:
  For tables added to the statement's table list by prelocking
  algorithm we allocate these objects either on the same memory as
  corresponding table list elements or on THD::locked_tables_root
  (if we are building table list for LOCK TABLES).
sql/sql_acl.cc:
  Allocate metadata lock requests objects (MDL_LOCK) on execution
  memory root in cases when we use stack TABLE_LIST objects to open
  tables.  Got rid of redundant code by using unlock_locked_tables()
  function.
sql/sql_base.cc:
  Changed code to use new MDL subsystem. Got rid of separate table
  cache.  Now used and unused TABLE instances are linked to the
  TABLE_SHAREs in table definition cache.
  
  check_unused():
    Adjusted code to the fact that we no longer have separate table
    cache.  Removed dead code.
  table_def_free():
    Free TABLE instances referenced from TABLE_SHARE objects before
    destroying table definition cache.
  get_table_share():
    Added assert which ensures that noone will be able to access
    table (and its share) without acquiring some kind of metadata
    lock first.
  close_handle_and_leave_table_as_lock():
    Adjusted code to the fact that TABLE instances now are linked to
    list in TABLE_SHARE.
  list_open_tables():
    Changed this function to use table definition cache instead of
    table cache.
  free_cache_entry():
    Unlink freed TABLE elements from the list of all TABLE instances
    for the table in TABLE_SHARE.
  kill_delayed_thread_for_table():
    Added auxiliary for killing delayed insert threads for
    particular table.
  close_cached_tables():
    Got rid of wait_for_refresh argument as we now rely on global
    shared metadata lock to prevent FLUSH WITH READ LOCK sneaking in
    when we are reopening tables. Heavily reworked this function to
    use new MDL code and not to rely on separate table cache entity.
  close_open_tables():
    We no longer have separate table cache.
  close_thread_tables():
    Release metadata locks after closing all tables. Added skip_mdl
    argument which allows us not to remove metadata lock requests
    from the context in case when we are going to use this requests
    later in mdl_wait_for_locks() and tdc_wait_for_old_versions().
  close_thread_table()/close_table_for_reopen():
    Since we no longer have separate table cache and all TABLE
    instances are linked to TABLE_SHARE objects in table definition
    cache we have to link/unlink TABLE object to/from appropriate
    lists in the share.
  name_lock_locked_table():
   Moved redundant code to find_write_locked_table() function and
    adjusted code to the fact that wait_while_table_is_used() can
    now return with an error if our thread is killed.
  reopen_table_entry():
    We no longer need "link_in" argument as with MDL we no longer
    call this function with dummy TABLE object pre-allocated and
    added to the THD::open_tables. Also now we add newly-open TABLE
    instance to the list of share's used TABLE instances.
  table_cache_insert_placeholder():
    Got rid of name-locking legacy.
  lock_table_name_if_not_cached():
    Moved to sql_table.cc the only place where it is used. It was
    also reimplemented using new MDL API.
  open_table():
    - Reworked this function to use new MDL subsystem.
    - Changed code to deal with table definition cache directly
      instead of going through separate table cache.
    - Now third argument is also used for requesting table repair
      or auto-discovery of table's new definition. So its type was
      changed from bool to enum.
  find_locked_table()/find_write_locked_table():
    Accept head of list of TABLE objects as first argument and use
    this list instead of always searching in THD::open_tables list.
    Also added auxiliary for finding write-locked locked tables.
  reopen_table():
    Adjusted function to work with new MDL subsystem and to properly
    manuipulate with lists of used/unused TABLE instaces in
    TABLE_SHARE.
  reopen_tables():
    Removed mark_share_as_old parameter. Instead of relying on it
    and related behavior FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK now takes
    global shared metadata lock. Changed code after removing
    separate table cache.
  drop_locked_tables()/abort_locked_tables():
    Got rid of functions which are no longer needed.
    unlock_locked_tables():
    Moved this function from sql_parse.cc and changed it to release
    memory which was used for allocating metadata lock requests for
    tables open and locked by LOCK TABLES.
  tdc_open_view():
    Intoduced function for opening a view by getting its definition
    from disk (and table cache in future).
  reopen_table_entry():
    Introduced function for opening table definitions while holding
    exclusive metatadata lock on it.
  open_unireg_entry():
   Got rid of this function. Most of its functionality is relocated
    to open_table() and open_table_fini() functions, and some of it
    to reopen_table_entry() and tdc_open_view(). Also code
    resposible for auto-repair and auto-discovery of tables was
    moved to separate function.
  open_table_entry_fini():
    Introduced function which contains common actions which finalize
    process of TABLE object creation.
  auto_repair_table():
    Moved code responsible for auto-repair of table being opened
    here.
  handle_failed_open_table_attempt()
    Moved code responsible for handling failing attempt to open
    table to one place (retry due to lock conflict/old version,
    auto-discovery and repair).
  open_tables():
    - Flush open HANDLER tables if they have old version of if there
      is conflicting metadata lock against them (before this moment
      we had this code in open_table()).
    - When we open view which should be processed via derived table
      on the second execution of prepared statement or stored
      routine we still should call open_table() for it in order to
      obtain metadata lock on it and prepare its security context.
    - In cases when we discover that some special handling of
      failure to open table is needed call
      handle_failed_open_table_attempt() which handles all such
      scenarios.
  open_ltable():
    Handling of various special scenarios of failure to open a table
    was moved to separate handle_failed_open_table_attempt()
    function.
  remove_db_from_cache():
    Removed this function as it is no longer used.
  notify_thread_having_shared_lock():
    Added callback which is invoked by MDL subsystem when acquiring
    an exclusive lock, for each thread that has a conflicting shared
    metadata lock.
  expel_table_from_cache():
    Introduced function for removing unused TABLE instances. Unlike
    remove_table_from_cache() it relies on caller following MDL
    protocol and having appropriate locks when calling it and thus
    does not do any waiting if table is still in use.
  tdc_wait_for_old_version():
    Added function which allows open_tables() to wait in cases when
    we discover that we should back-off due to presence of old
    version of table.
  abort_and_upgrade_lock():
    Use new MDL calls.
  mysql_wait_completed_table():
    Got rid of unused function.
  open_system_tables_for_read/for_update()/performance_schema_table():
    Allocate MDL_LOCK objects on execution memory root in cases when
    TABLE_LIST objects for corresponding tables is allocated on
    stack.
  close_performance_schema_table():
    Release metadata locks after closing tables.
  ******
  Use I_P_List for free/used tables list in the table share.
sql/sql_binlog.cc:
  Use Relay_log_info::slave_close_thread_tables() method to enforce
  that we always close tables open for RBR before deallocating
  TABLE_LIST elements and MDL_LOCK objects for them.
sql/sql_class.cc:
  Added meta-data locking contexts as part of Open_tables_state
  context.  Also introduced THD::locked_tables_root memory root
  which is to be used for allocating MDL_LOCK objects for tables in
  LOCK TABLES statement (end of lifetime for such objects is UNLOCK
  TABLES so we can't use statement or execution root for them).
sql/sql_class.h:
  Added meta-data locking contexts as part of Open_tables_state
  context.  Also introduced THD::locked_tables_root memory root
  which is to be used for allocating MDL_LOCK objects for tables in
  LOCK TABLES statement (end of lifetime for such objects is UNLOCK
  TABLES so we can't use statement or execution root for them).
  
  Note: handler_mdl_context and locked_tables_root and
  mdl_el_root will be removed by subsequent patches.
sql/sql_db.cc:
  mysql_rm_db() does not really need to call remove_db_from_cache()
  as it drops each table in the database using
  mysql_rm_table_part2(), which performs all necessary operations on
  table (definition) cache.
sql/sql_delete.cc:
  Use the new metadata locking API for TRUNCATE.
sql/sql_handler.cc:
  Changed HANDLER implementation to use new metadata locking
  subsystem.  Note that MDL_LOCK objects for HANDLER tables are
  allocated in the same chunk of heap memory as TABLE_LIST object
  for those tables.
sql/sql_insert.cc:
  mysql_insert():
    find_locked_table() now takes head of list of TABLE object as
    its argument instead of always scanning through THD::open_tables
    list.
  handle_delayed_insert():
    Allocate metadata lock request object for table open by delayed
    insert thread on execution memroot.  create_table_from_items():
    We no longer allocate dummy TABLE objects for tables being
    created if they don't exist. As consequence
    reopen_name_locked_table() no longer has link_in argument.
    open_table() now has one more argument which is not relevant for
    temporary tables.
sql/sql_parse.cc:
  - Moved unlock_locked_tables() routine to sql_base.cc and made
    available it in other files. Got rid of some redundant code by
    using this function.
  - Replaced boolean TABLE_LIST::create member with enum
    open_table_type member.
  - Use special memory root for allocating MDL_LOCK objects for
    tables open and locked by LOCK TABLES (these object should live
    till UNLOCK TABLES so we can't allocate them on statement nor
    execution memory root). Also properly set metadata lock
    upgradability attribure for those tables.
  - Under LOCK TABLES it is no longer allowed to flush tables which
    are not write-locked as this breaks metadata locking protocol
    and thus potentially might lead to deadlock.
  - Added auxiliary adjust_mdl_locks_upgradability() function.
sql/sql_partition.cc:
  Adjusted code to the fact that reopen_tables() no longer has
  "mark_share_as_old" argument. Got rid of comments which are no
  longer true.
sql/sql_plist.h:
  Added I_P_List template class for parametrized intrusive doubly
  linked lists and I_P_List_iterator for corresponding iterator.
  Unlike for I_List<> list elements of such list can participate in
  several lists. Unlike List<> such lists are doubly-linked and
  intrusive.
sql/sql_plugin.cc:
  Allocate metadata lock requests objects (MDL_LOCK) on execution
  memory root in cases when we use stack TABLE_LIST objects to open
  tables.
sql/sql_prepare.cc:
  Replaced boolean TABLE_LIST::create member with enum
  open_table_type member.  This allows easily handle situation in
  which instead of opening the table we want only to take exclusive
  metadata lock on it.
sql/sql_rename.cc:
  Use new metadata locking subsystem in implementation of RENAME
  TABLE.
sql/sql_servers.cc:
  Allocate metadata lock requests objects (MDL_LOCK) on execution
  memory root in cases when we use stack TABLE_LIST objects to open
  tables. Got rid of redundant code by using unlock_locked_tables()
  function.
sql/sql_show.cc:
  Acquire shared metadata lock when we are getting information for
  I_S table directly from TABLE_SHARE without doing full-blown table
  open.  We use high priority lock request in this situation in
  order to avoid deadlocks.
  Also allocate metadata lock requests objects (MDL_LOCK) on
  execution memory root in cases when TABLE_LIST objects are also
  allocated there
sql/sql_table.cc:
  mysql_rm_table():
    Removed comment which is no longer relevant.
  mysql_rm_table_part2():
    Now caller of mysql_ha_rm_tables() should not own LOCK_open.
    Adjusted code to use new metadata locking subsystem instead of
    name-locks.
  lock_table_name_if_not_cached():
    Moved this function from sql_base.cc to this file and
    reimplemented it using metadata locking API.
  mysql_create_table():
    Adjusted code to use new MDL API.
  wait_while_table_is_used():
    Changed function to use new MDL subsystem. Made thread waiting
    in it killable (this also led to introduction of return value so
    caller can distinguish successful executions from situations
    when waiting was aborted).
  close_cached_tables():
    Thread waiting in this function is killable now. As result it
    has return value for distinguishing between succes and failure.
    Got rid of redundant boradcast_refresh() call.
  prepare_for_repair():
    Use MDL subsystem instead of name-locks.
  mysql_admin_table():
    mysql_ha_rm_tables() now always assumes that caller doesn't own
    LOCK_open.
  mysql_repair_table():
    We should mark all elements of table list as requiring
    upgradable metadata locks.
  mysql_create_table_like():
    Use new MDL subsystem instead of name-locks.
  create_temporary_tables():
    We don't need to obtain metadata locks when creating temporary
    table.
  mysql_fast_or_online_alter_table():
    Thread waiting in wait_while_table_is_used() is now killable.
  mysql_alter_table():
    Adjusted code to work with new MDL subsystem and to the fact
    that threads waiting in what_while_table_is_used() and
    close_cached_table() are now killable.
sql/sql_test.cc:
  We no longer have separate table cache. TABLE instances are now
  associated with/linked to TABLE_SHARE objects in table definition
  cache.
sql/sql_trigger.cc:
  Adjusted code to work with new metadata locking subsystem.  Also
  reopen_tables() no longer has mark_share_as_old argument (Instead
  of relying on this parameter and related behavior FLUSH TABLES
  WITH READ LOCK now takes global shared metadata lock).
sql/sql_udf.cc:
  Allocate metadata lock requests objects (MDL_LOCK) on execution
  memory root in cases when we use stack TABLE_LIST objects to open
  tables.
sql/sql_update.cc:
  Adjusted code to work with new meta-data locking subsystem.
sql/sql_view.cc:
  Added proper meta-data locking to implementations of
  CREATE/ALTER/DROP VIEW statements. Now we obtain exclusive
  meta-data lock on a view before creating/ changing/dropping it.
  This ensures that all concurrent statements that use this view
  will finish before our statement will proceed and therefore we
  will get correct order of statements in the binary log.
  Also ensure that TABLE_LIST::mdl_upgradable attribute is properly
  propagated for underlying tables of view.
sql/table.cc:
  Added auxiliary alloc_mdl_locks() function for allocating metadata
  lock request objects for all elements of table list.
sql/table.h:
  TABLE_SHARE:
    Got rid of unused members. Introduced members for storing lists
    of used and unused TABLE objects for this share.
  TABLE:
    Added members for linking TABLE objects into per-share lists of
    used and unused TABLE instances. Added member for holding
    pointer to metadata lock for this table.
  TABLE_LIST:
    Replaced boolean TABLE_LIST::create member with enum
    open_table_type member.  This allows easily handle situation in
    which instead of opening the table we want only to take
    exclusive meta-data lock on it (we need this in order to handle
    ALTER VIEW and CREATE VIEW statements).
    Introduced new mdl_upgradable member for marking elements of
    table list for which we need to take upgradable shared metadata
    lock instead of plain shared metadata lock.  Added pointer for
    holding pointer to MDL_LOCK for the table.
  Added auxiliary alloc_mdl_locks() function for allocating metadata
  lock requests objects for all elements of table list.  Added
  auxiliary set_all_mdl_upgradable() function for marking all
  elements in table list as requiring upgradable metadata locks.
storage/myisammrg/ha_myisammrg.cc:
  Allocate MDL_LOCK objects for underlying tables of MERGE table.
  To be reworked once Ingo pushes his patch for WL4144.

  Bug#32082 : definition of VOID in my_global.h conflicts with Windows
  SDK headers
  
  VOID macro is now removed. Its usage is replaced with void cast.
  In some cases, where cast does not make much sense (pthread_*, printf, 
  hash_delete, my_seek), cast is ommited.

message:
Bug#35164: Large number of invalid pthread_attr_setschedparam calls
Bug#37536: Thread scheduling causes performance degradation at low thread count
Bug#12702: Long queries take 100% of CPU and freeze other applications under Windows

The problem is that although having threads with different priorities
yields marginal improvements [1] in some platforms [2], relying on some
statically defined priorities (QUERY_PRIOR and WAIT_PRIOR) to play well
(or to work at all) with different scheduling practices and disciplines
is, at best, a shot in the dark as the meaning of priority values may
change depending on the scheduling policy set for the process.

Another problem is that increasing priorities can hurt other concurrent
(running on the same hardware) applications (such as AMP) by causing
starvation problems as MySQL threads will successively preempt lower
priority processes. This can be evidenced by Bug#12702.

The solution is to not change the threads priorities and rely on the
system scheduler to perform its job. This also enables a system admin
to increase or decrease the scheduling priority of the MySQL process,
if intended.

Furthermore, the internal wrappers and code for changing the priority
of threads is being removed as they are now unused and ancient.

1. Due to unintentional side effects. On Solaris this could artificially
help benchmarks as calling the priority changing syscall millions of
times is more beneficial than the actual setting of the priority.

2. Where it actually works. It has never worked on Linux as the default
scheduling policy SCHED_OTHER only accepts the static priority 0.

Bug#17954 Threads_connected > Threads_created

The problem is that insert delayed threads are counted as connected
but not as created, leading to a Threads_connected value greater then
the Threads_created value.

The solution is to enforce the documented behavior that the
Threads_connected value shall be the number of currently
open connections and that Threads_created shall be the
number of threads created to handle connections.

Bug#31621: Windows server hanging during shutdown using named pipes 
           and idle connection
            
Problem: when idle pipe connection is forcefully closed with KILL
statement or when the server goes down, thread that is closing connection
would hang infinitely in CloseHandle(). The reason for the hang is that 
named pipe operations are performed synchronously. In this mode all IOs
on pipe are serialized, that is CloseHandle() will not abort ReadFile() 
in another thread, but wait for ReadFile() to complete.
            
The fix implements asynchrnous mode for named pipes, where operation of file
are not synchronized. Read/Write operation would fire an async IO and wait for
either IO completion or timeout.
            
Note, that with this patch timeouts are properly handled for named pipes.
      
Post-review: Win32 timeout code has been fixed for named pipes and shared
memory. We do not store pointer to NET in vio structure, only the read and 
write timeouts.


include/violite.h:
  Add pipe_overlapped to Vio structure for async IO for named pipes.
sql-common/client.c:
  Use asynchronous pipe IO.

message:
  Bug #46267 Shutdown with idle connection crash the server.
  
  The crash happens when mysqld logs a warning. The macro 
  ER() used in sql_print_warning references thread local storage
  variable via current_thd(), to output the warning in "current 
  user language". However, for the shutdown thread, 
  current_thd() will return NULL, and mysqld will crash while 
  derefencing NULL pointer.
  
  Solution: get error mesage text with ER_DEFAULT() macro 
  instead of ER(), this does not current_thd() and will output
  errors in default language.
------------------------------------------------------------

      
Implemented the server infrastructure for the fix:

1. Added a function LEX_STRING *thd_query_string(THD) to return
a LEX_STRING structure instead of char *.
This is the function that must be called in innodb instead of 
thd_query()

2. Did some encapsulation in THD : aggregated thd_query and 
thd_query_length into a LEX_STRING and made accessor and mutator 
methods for easy code updating. 

3. Updated the server code to use the new methods where applicable.

Fix a regression that crept in when downporting Windows improvements.
Instead of a shutdown thread, another thread that  handledsocket connection was created.

  Remove the deprecated option.


sql/mysqld.cc:
  Remove a deprecated option.

           not on predefined values

The default name of the PID file was constructed, as documented, 
based on the hostname.  This name was subsequently used as the
base for the general log file name.   If the name of the PID
file was overridden in the configuration, and no explicit name
was set for the general log file, the path location for the
PID file was used also for the general log file.
                  
A new variable, 'default_logfile_name', has been introduced.  This name
is constructed based on the hostname, and is then used to
construct both the PID file and the general log file.
                  
The general log file will now, unless explicitly set, be
located in the server data directory (as documentated in
the server docs)


mysql-test/t/log_state.test:
  run/mysqld.log was created as a consequence of this bug.
  After the fix it is no longer created, and will thus not
  be deleted.

           "have_profiling"

1) Renamed have_community_features server system variable to
have_profiling.
2) Removed eable-community-features configure option and
ENABLE_COMMUNITY_FEATURES macro.
3) Removed COMMUNITY_SERVER macro and replaced its usage by 
ENABLED_PROFILING.

Only --enable-profiling is now needed to enable profiling.
It was the only existing "community feature", so there was
no need for both configure options.

Using --enable-community-features will give a warning message
since it no longer exists.

Cleanup pthread_self(), pthread_create(), pthread_join() implementation on Windows.
Prior implementation is was unnecessarily complicated and even differs in embedded
and non-embedded case.
      
Improvements in this patch:
* pthread_t is now the unique thread ID, instead of HANDLE returned by beginthread
      
This simplifies pthread_self() to be just straight GetCurrentThreadId().
prior it was much  art involved in passing the beginthread() handle from the caller
to the TLS structure in the child thread ( did not work for the main thread of
course)
      
* remove MySQL specific my_thread_init()/my_thread_end() from pthread_create.
No automagic is done on Unix on pthread_create(). Having the same on Windows will 
improve portability and avoid extra #ifdef's
      
* remove redefinition of getpid() - it was defined as GetCurrentThreadId()

Backport from 6.0 to 5.1.
Only those sync points are included, which are used in debug_sync.test.

  The Debug Sync Facility allows to place synchronization points
  in the code:
  
  open_tables(...)
  
  DEBUG_SYNC(thd, "after_open_tables");
  
  lock_tables(...)
  
  When activated, a sync point can
  
  - Send a signal and/or
  - Wait for a signal
  
  Nomenclature:
  
  - signal:            A value of a global variable that persists
                       until overwritten by a new signal. The global
                       variable can also be seen as a "signal post"
                       or "flag mast". Then the signal is what is
                       attached to the "signal post" or "flag mast".
  
  - send a signal:     Assign the value (the signal) to the global
                       variable ("set a flag") and broadcast a
                       global condition to wake those waiting for
                       a signal.
  
  - wait for a signal: Loop over waiting for the global condition until
                       the global value matches the wait-for signal.

NOTE: Backporting the patch to next-mr.
      
The fix proposed in BUG#35542 and BUG#31665 introduces a performance issue
when fsyncing the master.info, relay.info and relay-log.bin* after #th events.
Although such solution has been proposed to reduce the probability of corrupted
files due to a slave-crash, the performance penalty introduced by it has
made the approach impractical for highly intensive workloads.
      
In a nutshell, the option --syn-relay-log proposed in BUG#35542 and BUG#31665
simultaneously fsyncs master.info, relay-log.info and relay-log.bin* and
this is the main source of performance issues.
      
This patch introduces new options that give more control to the user on
what should be fsynced and how often:
      
   1) (--sync-master-info, integer) which syncs the master.info after #th event;
   2) (--sync-relay-log, integer) which syncs the relay-log.bin* after #th
   events.
   3) (--sync-relay-log-info, integer) which syncs the relay.info after #th
   transactions.
      
   To provide both performance and increased reliability, we recommend the following
   setup:
      
   1) --sync-master-info = 0 eventually the operating system will fsync it;
   2) --sync-relay-log = 0 eventually the operating system will fsync it;
   3) --sync-relay-log-info = 1 fsyncs it after every transaction;
      
Notice, that the previous setup does not reduce the probability of
corrupted master.info and relay-log.bin*. To overcome the issue, this patch also
introduces a recovery mechanism that right after restart throws away relay-log.bin*
retrieved from a master and updates the master.info based on the relay.info:
      
      
   4) (--relay-log-recovery, boolean) which enables a recovery mechanism that
   throws away relay-log.bin* after a crash.
      
However, it can only recover the incorrect binlog file and position in master.info,
if other informations (host, port password, etc) are corrupted or incorrect,
then this recovery mechanism will fail to work.

BUG#31665 sync_binlog should cause relay logs to be synchronized

NOTE: Backporting the patch to next-mr.
      
Add sync_relay_log option to server, this option works for relay log 
the same as option sync_binlog for binlog. This option also synchronize
master info to disk when set to non-zero value.
            
Original patches from Sinisa and Mark, with some modifications

logging is disabled
      
NOTE: this is the backport to next-mr.
            
If one sets binlog-format but does NOT enable binary log, server
refuses to start up. The following messages appears in the error log:
            
090217 12:47:14 [ERROR] You need to use --log-bin to make
--binlog-format work.  
090217 12:47:14 [ERROR] Aborting
            
This patch addresses this by making the server not to bail out if the
binlog-format is set without the log-bin option. Additionally, the
specified binlog-format is stored, in the global system variable
"binlog_format", and a warning is printed instead of an error.

STATUS'
      
NOTE: this is the backport to next-mr.
            
SHOW SHOW STATUS LIKE 'Slave_running' command believes that
if active_mi->slave_running != 0, then io thread is running normally.
But it isn't so in fact. When some errors happen to make io thread
try to reconnect master, then it will become transitional status
(MYSQL_SLAVE_RUN_NOT_CONNECT == 1), which also doesn't equal 0.
Yet, "SHOW SLAVE STATUS" believes that only if
active_mi->slave_running == MYSQL_SLAVE_RUN_CONNECT, then io thread is running.
So "SHOW SLAVE STATUS" can get the correct result.
            
            
Fixed to make SHOW SHOW STATUS LIKE 'Slave_running' command have the same
check condition with "SHOW SLAVE STATUS". It only believe that the io thread
is running when active_mi->slave_running == MYSQL_SLAVE_RUN_CONNECT.

NOTE: Backporting the patch to next-mr.
            
The use of option log_slave_updates without log_bin was preventing the server
from starting. To fix the problem, we replaced the error message and the exit
call by a warning message.

SHOW BINLOG EVENTS does not work with relay log files. If issuing
"SHOW BINLOG EVENTS IN 'relay-log.000001'" in a non-empty relay
log file (relay-log.000001), mysql reports empty set.
            
This patch addresses this issue by extending the SHOW command
with RELAYLOG. Events in relay log files can now be inspected by
issuing SHOW RELAYLOG EVENTS [IN 'log_name'] [FROM pos] [LIMIT
[offset,] row_count].

The thing is that Sun Studio compiler calls destructor of stack
objects when pthread_exit() is called. That triggered an assertion
in DBUG_ENTER()/DBUG_RETURN() validation logic (if DBUG_ENTER() is
used in the beginning of function, all returns should be replaced
by DBUG_RETURN/DBUG_VOID_RETURN macros).

- Remove offensive quotes.

"Patch to fix bug 38551": it was a manual backport (2008-10-15) of
http://lists.mysql.com/commits/56418.
But that was an early, non-final patch from the fixer of this bug (TheK):
after that backport was made by Mikael, TheK decided to do a different fix,
which was finally pushed into 6.0.
Then 5.1's code was changed for some other reasons, so now we have a
conflict between the old never-approved TheK patch backported to Summit and
the latest 5.1. The backport cannot stay, it has to be removed due to
the conflict, and then rewritten if desired.
