This change is supposed to reduce number of ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK
errors which occur when multi-statement transaction encounters
conflicting metadata lock in cases when waiting is possible.

The idea is not to fail ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK error immediately when
we encounter conflicting metadata lock. Instead we release all
metadata locks acquired by current statement and start to wait
until conflicting lock go away. To avoid deadlocks we use simple
empiric which aborts waiting with ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK error if it
turns out that somebody is waiting for metadata locks owned by
this transaction.

This patch also fixes bug #46273 "MySQL 5.4.4 new MDL: Bug#989
is not fully fixed in case of ALTER".

The bug was that concurrent execution of UPDATE or MULTI-UPDATE
statement as a part of multi-statement transaction that already
has used table being updated and ALTER TABLE statement might have
resulted of loss of isolation between this transaction and ALTER
TABLE statement, which manifested itself as changes performed by
ALTER TABLE becoming visible in transaction and wrong binary log
order as a consequence.

This problem occurred when UPDATE or MULTI-UPDATE's wait in
mysql_lock_tables() call was aborted due to metadata lock
upgrade performed by concurrent ALTER TABLE. After such abort all
metadata locks held by transaction were released but transaction
silently continued to be executed as if nothing has happened.

We solve this problem by changing our code not to release all
locks in such case. Instead we release only locks which were
acquired by current statement and then try to reacquire them
by restarting open/lock tables process. We piggyback on simple
deadlock detector implementation since this change has to be
done anyway for it.

  Also adjusted test to the fact that HANDLER READ for the table no

sql/log_event_old.cc:
  close_tables_for_reopen() now takes one more argument which
  specifies at which point it should stop releasing metadata
  locks acquired by this connection.
sql/mdl.cc:
  Changed metadata locking subsystem to support basic deadlock detection
  with a help of the following simple empiric -- we assume that there is
  a deadlock if there is a connection which has to wait for a metadata
  lock which is currently acquired by some connection which is itself
  waiting to be able to acquire some shared metadata lock.
  
  To implement this change:
  - Added MDL_context::can_wait_lead_to_deadlock()/_impl() methods
    which allow to find out if there is someone waiting for metadata
    lock which is held by the connection and therefore deadlocks are
    possible if this connection is going to wait for some metadata lock.
    To do this added version of MDL_ticket::has_pending_conflicting_lock()
    method which assumes that its caller already owns LOCK_mdl mutex.
  - Changed MDL_context::wait_for_locks() to use one of the above methods
    to check if somebody is waiting for metadata lock owned by this
    context (and therefore deadlock is possible) and emit ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK
    error in this case. Also now we mark context of connections waiting
    inside of this method by setting MDL_context::m_is_waiting_in_mdl
    member. Thanks to this such connection could be waken up if some
    other connection starts waiting for one of its metadata locks and
    so a deadlock can occur.
  - Adjusted notify_shared_lock() to wake up connections which wait inside
    MDL_context::wait_for_locks() while holding shared metadata lock.
  - Changed MDL_ticket::upgrade_shared_lock_to_exclusive() to add
    temporary ticket for exclusive lock to MDL_lock::waiting queue, so
    request for metadata lock upgrade can be properly detected by our
    empiric.
    Also now this method invokes a callback which forces transactions
    holding shared metadata lock on the table to call MDL_context::
    can_wait_lead_to_deadlock() method even if they don't need any new
    metadata locks. Thanks to this such transactions can detect deadlocks/
    livelocks between MDL and table-level locks.
  
  Also reduced timeouts between calls to notify_shared_lock()
  in MDL_ticket::upgrade_shared_lock_to_exclusive() and
  MDL_context::acquire_exclusive_locks(). This was necessary
  to get rid of call to mysql_lock_abort() in wait_while_table_is_used().
  (Now we instead rely on notify_shared_lock() timely calling
  mysql_lock_abort_for_thread() for the table on which lock
  is being upgraded/acquired).
sql/mdl.h:
  - Added a version of MDL_ticket::has_pending_conflicting_lock() method
    to be used in situations when caller already has acquired LOCK_mdl
    mutex.
  - Added MDL_context::can_wait_lead_to_deadlock()/_impl() methods
    which allow to find out if there is someone waiting for metadata lock
    which is held by this connection and thus deadlocks are possible if
    this connections will start waiting for some metadata lock.
  - Added MDL_context::m_is_waiting_in_mdl member to mark connections
    waiting in MDL_context::wait_for_locks() method of metadata locking
    subsystem. Added getter method for this private member to make it
    accessible in notify_shared_lock() auxiliary so we can wake-up such
    connections if they hold shared metadata locks.
  - Finally, added mysql_abort_transactions_with_shared_lock() callback
    to be able force transactions which don't need any new metadata
    locks still call MDL_context::can_wait_lead_to_deadlock() and detect
    some of deadlocks between metadata locks and table-level locks.
sql/mysql_priv.h:
  close_tables_for_reopen() now takes one more argument which
  specifies at which point it should stop releasing metadata
  locks acquired by this connection.
sql/sql_base.cc:
  Changed approach to metadata locking for multi-statement transactions.
  We no longer fail ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK error immediately when we encounter
  conflicting metadata lock. Instead we release all metadata locks
  acquired by current statement and start to wait until conflicting
  locks to go away by calling MDL_context::wait_for_locks() method.
  To avoid deadlocks the latter implements simple empiric which aborts
  waiting with ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK error if it turns out that somebody
  is waiting for metadata locks owned by this transaction.
  
  To implement the change described above:
  - Introduced Open_table_context::m_start_of_statement_svp member to
    store state of metadata locks at the start of the statement.
  - Changed Open_table_context::request_backoff_action() not to
    fail with ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK immediately if back-off is requested
    due to conflicting metadata lock.
  - Added new argument for close_tables_for_reopen() procedure which
    allows to specify subset of metadata locks to be released.
  - Changed open_tables() not to release all metadata locks acquired
    by current transaction when metadata lock conflict is discovered.
    Instead we release only locks acquired by current statement.
  - Changed open_ltable() and open_and_lock_tables_derived() not to emit
    ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK error when mysql_lock_tables() is aborted in
    multi-statement transaction when somebody tries to acquire exclusive
    metadata lock on the table. Instead we release metadata locks acquired
    by current statement and try to wait until they can be re-acquired.
  - Adjusted tdc_wait_for_old_versions() to check if there is someone
    waiting for one of metadata locks held by this connection and run
    deadlock detection in order to avoid deadlocks in some
    situations.
  - Added mysql_abort_transactions_with_shared_lock() callback which
    allows to force transactions holding shared metadata lock on the
    table to call MDL_context::can_wait_lead_to_deadlock() even if they
    don't need any new metadata locks so they can detect potential
    deadlocks between metadata locking subsystem and table-level locks.
  - Adjusted wait_while_table_is_used() not to set TABLE::version to
    0 as it is now done only when necessary by the above-mentioned
    callback. Also removed unnecessary call to mysql_lock_abort().
    Instead we rely on code performing metadata lock upgrade aborting
    waits on the table-level lock for this table by calling
    mysql_lock_abort_for_thread() (invoked by
    mysql_notify_thread_having_shared_lock()). In future this should
    allow to reduce number of scenarios in which we produce
    ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK error even though no real deadlock exists.
sql/sql_class.h:
  Introduced Open_table_context::m_start_of_statement_svp member to
  store state of metadata locks at the start of the statement.
  Replaced Open_table_context::m_can_deadlock member with m_has_locks
  member to reflect the fact that we no longer unconditionally emit
  ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK error for transaction having some metadata locks
  when conflicting metadata lock is discovered.
sql/sql_insert.cc:
  close_tables_for_reopen() now takes one more argument which
  specifies at which point it should stop releasing metadata
  locks acquired by this connection.
sql/sql_plist.h:
  Made I_P_List_iterator<T, B> usable with const lists.
sql/sql_show.cc:
  close_tables_for_reopen() now takes one more argument which
  specifies at which point it should stop releasing metadata
  locks acquired by this connection.
sql/sql_update.cc:
  Changed UPDATE and MULTI-UPDATE code not to release all metadata
  locks when calls to mysql_lock_tables() are aborted. Instead we
  release only locks which are acquired by this statement and then
  try to reacquire them by calling open_tables(). This solves
  bug #46273 "MySQL 5.4.4 new MDL: Bug#989 is not fully fixed in
  case of ALTER".

Bug #30977 Concurrent statement using stored function and DROP FUNCTION 
           breaks SBR
Bug #48246 assert in close_thread_table

Implement a fix for:
Bug #41804 purge stored procedure cache causes mysterious hang for many
           minutes
Bug #49972 Crash in prepared statements

The problem was that concurrent execution of DML statements that
use stored functions and DDL statements that drop/modify the same
function might result in incorrect binary log in statement (and
mixed) mode and therefore break replication.

This patch fixes the problem by introducing metadata locking for
stored procedures and functions. This is similar to what is done
in Bug#25144 for views. Procedures and functions now are
locked using metadata locks until the transaction is either
committed or rolled back. This prevents other statements from
modifying the procedure/function while it is being executed. This
provides commit ordering - guaranteeing serializability across
multiple transactions and thus fixes the reported binlog problem.

Note that we do not take locks for top-level CALLs. This means
that procedures called directly are not protected from changes by
simultaneous DDL operations so they are executed at the state they
had at the time of the CALL. By not taking locks for top-level
CALLs, we still allow transactions to be started inside
procedures.

This patch also changes stored procedure cache invalidation.
Upon a change of cache version, we no longer invalidate the entire
cache, but only those routines which we use, only when a statement
is executed that uses them.

This patch also changes the logic of prepared statement validation.
A stored procedure used by a prepared statement is now validated
only once a metadata lock has been acquired. A version mismatch
causes a flush of the obsolete routine from the cache and
statement reprepare.
Incompatible changes:
1) ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK is reported for a transaction trying to access
   a procedure/function that is locked by a DDL operation in
   another connection.

2) Procedure/function DDL operations are now prohibited in LOCK
   TABLES mode as exclusive locks must be taken all at once and
   LOCK TABLES provides no way to specifiy procedures/functions to
   be locked.

Test cases have been added to sp-lock.test and rpl_sp.test.

Work on this bug has very much been a team effort and this patch
includes and is based on contributions from Davi Arnaut, Dmitry
Lenev, Magne Mæhre and Konstantin Osipov.

"HANDLER statements within a transaction might lead to deadlocks".
Introduce a notion of a sentinel to MDL_context. A sentinel
is a ticket that separates all tickets in the context into two
groups: before and after it. Currently we can have (and need) only
one designated sentinel -- it separates all locks taken by LOCK
TABLE or HANDLER statement, which must survive COMMIT and ROLLBACK
and all other locks, which must be released at COMMIT or ROLLBACK.
The tricky part is maintaining the sentinel up to date when
someone release its corresponding ticket. This can happen, e.g.
if someone issues DROP TABLE under LOCK TABLES (generally,
see all calls to release_all_locks_for_name()).
MDL_context::release_ticket() is modified to take care of it.

******
A fix and a test case for Bug#46224 "HANDLER statements within a
transaction might lead to deadlocks".

An attempt to mix HANDLER SQL statements, which are transaction-
agnostic, an open multi-statement transaction,
and DDL against the involved tables (in a concurrent connection) 
could lead to a deadlock. The deadlock would occur when
HANDLER OPEN or HANDLER READ would have to wait on a conflicting
metadata lock. If the connection that issued HANDLER statement
also had other metadata locks (say, acquired in scope of a 
transaction), a classical deadlock situation of mutual wait
could occur.

Incompatible change: entering LOCK TABLES mode automatically
closes all open HANDLERs in the current connection.

Incompatible change: previously an attempt to wait on a lock
in a connection that has an open HANDLER statement could wait
indefinitely/deadlock. After this patch, an error ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK
is produced.

The idea of the fix is to merge thd->handler_mdl_context
with the main mdl_context of the connection, used for transactional
locks. This makes deadlock detection possible, since all waits
with locks are "visible" and available to analysis in a single
MDL context of the connection.

Since HANDLER locks and transactional locks have a different life
cycle -- HANDLERs are explicitly open and closed, and so
are HANDLER locks, explicitly acquired and released, whereas
transactional locks "accumulate" till the end of a transaction
and are released only with COMMIT, ROLLBACK and ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT,
a concept of "sentinel" was introduced to MDL_context.
All locks, HANDLER and others, reside in the same linked list.
However, a selected element of the list separates locks with
different life cycle. HANDLER locks always reside at the
end of the list, after the sentinel. Transactional locks are
prepended to the beginning of the list, before the sentinel.
Thus, ROLLBACK, COMMIT or ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT, only
release those locks that reside before the sentinel. HANDLER locks
must be released explicitly as part of HANDLER CLOSE statement,
or an implicit close. 
The same approach with sentinel
is also employed for LOCK TABLES locks. Since HANDLER and LOCK TABLES
statement has never worked together, the implementation is
made simple and only maintains one sentinel, which is used either
for HANDLER locks, or for LOCK TABLES locks.


mysql-test/include/handler.inc:
  Add test coverage for Bug#46224 "HANDLER statements within a

  Extended HANDLER coverage to cover a mix of HANDLER, transactions

sql/log_event.cc:
  No need to check for thd->locked_tables_mode, 
  it's done inside release_transactional_locks().
sql/mdl.cc:
  Implement the concept of HANDLER and LOCK TABLES "sentinel".
  Implement a method to clone an acquired ticket.
  Do not return tickets beyond the sentinel when acquiring
  locks, create a copy.
  Remove methods to merge and backup MDL_context, they are now
  not used (Hurra!). This opens a path to a proper constructor
  and destructor of class MDL_context (to be done in a separate
  patch).
  Modify find_ticket() to provide information about where
  the ticket position is with regard to the sentinel.
sql/mdl.h:
  Add declarations necessary for the implementation of the concept
  of "sentinel", a dedicated ticket separating transactional and
  non-transactional locks.
sql/mysql_priv.h:
  Add mark_tmp_table_for_reuse() declaration, 
  a function to "close" a single session (temporary) table.
sql/sql_base.cc:
  Remove thd->some_tables_deleted.
  Modify deadlock-prevention asserts and deadlock detection
  heuristics to take into account that from now on HANDLER locks
  reside in the same locking context.
  Add broadcast_refresh() to mysql_notify_thread_having_shared_lock():
  this is necessary for the case when a thread having a shared lock
  is asleep in tdc_wait_for_old_versions(). This situation is only
  possible with HANDLER t1 OPEN; FLUSH TABLE (since all over code paths
  that lead to tdc_wait_for_old_versions() always have an
  empty MDL_context). Previously the server would simply deadlock
  in this situation.
sql/sql_class.cc:
  Remove now unused member "THD::some_tables_deleted". 
  Move mysql_ha_cleanup() a few lines above in THD::cleanup() 
  to make sure that all handlers are closed when it's time to 
  destroy the MDL_context of this connection.
  Remove handler_mdl_context and handler_tables.
sql/sql_class.h:
  Remove THD::handler_tables, THD::handler_mdl_context,
  THD::some_tables_deleted.
sql/sql_handler.cc:
  Remove thd->handler_tables.
  Remove thd->handler_mdl_context.
  Rewrite mysql_ha_open() to have no special provision for MERGE
  tables, now that we don't have to manipulate with thd->handler_tables
  it's easy to do.
  Remove dead code.
  Fix a bug in mysql_ha_flush() when we would always flush
  a temporary HANDLER when mysql_ha_flush() is called (actually
  mysql_ha_flush() never needs to flush temporary tables).
sql/sql_insert.cc:
  Update a comment, no more thd->some_tables_deleted.
sql/sql_parse.cc:
  Implement an incompatible change: entering LOCK TABLES closes
  active HANDLERs, if any.
  Now that we have a sentinel, we don't need to check
  for thd->locked_tables_mode when releasing metadata locks in
  COMMIT/ROLLBACK.
sql/sql_plist.h:
  Add new (now necessary) methods to the list class.
sql/sql_prepare.cc:
  Make sure we don't release HANDLER locks when rollback to a
  savepoint, set to not keep locks taken at PREPARE.
sql/sql_servers.cc:
  Update to a new signature of MDL_context::release_all_locks().
sql/sql_table.cc:
  Remove thd->some_tables_deleted.
sql/transaction.cc:
  Add comments. 
  Make sure rollback to (MDL) savepoint works under LOCK TABLES and
  with HANDLER tables.

   CMakeLists.txt files cleanup.
  
  - remove SAFEMALLOC and SAFE_MUTEX definitions that were
  present in *each* CMakeLists.txt. Instead, put them into top level
  MakeLists.txt, but disable on Windows, because
  
  a) SAFEMALLOC does not add any functionality that is not already
  present in Debug C runtime ( and 2 safe malloc one on top of the other
  only unnecessarily slows down the server)
  
  b)SAFE_MUTEX does not work on Windows  and have been
  explicitely  disabled on Windows with #undef previously.  Fortunately,
  ntdll does  pretty good  job identifying l problems with  CRITICAL_SECTIONs.
  (DebugBreak()s on using uninited critical section, unlocking unowned
  critical section)
  
  -Remove occationally used -D_DEBUG (added by compiler
  anyway)
  
  -Remove MAP file generation, it became  obsolete .
  There are many ways to get callstack  of a crash now, with stacktrace in 
  error log , minidump etc

If the handler (or delayed insert) thread failed to lock a table due
to being killed, the "dead" flag was used to notify the connection thread
of this failure. However, with the changes introduced by Bug#45949, 
the handler thread will no longer try to lock the table if it was killed.
This meant that the "dead" flag would not be set, and the connection
thread would not notice that the handler thread had failed.

This could happen with concurrent INSERT DELAYED and FLUSH TABLES.
FLUSH TABLES would kill any active INSERT DELAYED that had opened any
table(s) to be flushed. This could cause the INSERT DELAYED connection
thread to be stuck waiting for the handler thread to lock its table,
while the handler thread would be looping, trying to get the connection
thread to notice the error.

The root of the problem was that the handler thread had both the "dead"
flag and "thd->killed" to indicate that it had been killed. Most places
both were set, but some only set "thd->killed". And 
Delayed_insert::get_local_table() only checked "dead" while waiting for
the table to be locked.

This patch removes the "dead" variable and replaces its usage with
"thd->killed", thereby resolving the issue.

The reason for the deadlock was an improper exit from
MDL_context::wait_for_locks() which caused mysys_var->current_mutex to remain
LOCK_mdl even though LOCK_mdl was no longer held by that connection. 

This could for example lead to a deadlock in the following way:
1) INSERT DELAYED tries to open a table but fails, and trying to recover it
calls wait_for_locks().
2) Due to a pending exclusive request, wait_for_locks() fails and exits without
resetting mysys_var->current_mutex for the delayed insert handler thread. So it
continues to point to LOCK_mdl.
3) The handler thread manages to open a table.
4) A different connection takes LOCK_open and tries to take LOCK_mdl.
5) FLUSH TABLES from a third connection notices that the handler thread has a
table open, and tries to kill it. This involves locking mysys_var->current_mutex
while having LOCK_open locked. Since current_mutex mistakenly points to LOCK_mdl,
we have a deadlock.

This patch makes sure MDL_EXIT_COND() is called before exiting wait_for_locks().
This clears mysys->current_mutex which resolves the issue. 

An assert is added to recover_from_failed_open_table_attempt() after
wait_for_locks() is called, to check that current_mutex is indeed reset.
With this assert in place, existing tests in (e.g.) mdl_sync.test will fail
without this patch.

the fix for Bug#37148, since it is null-merged into 6.0.

This deadlock would occur between two connections A and B if statements
where executed in the following way:
1) Connection A executes a DML statement against table s1.t1 with
autocommit off. This causes a shared metadata lock on s1.t1 to be 
acquired. (With autocommit on, the metadata lock will be dropped once
the statment completes and the deadlock will not occour.)
2) Connection B tries to DROP DATABASE s1. This will block against the
metadata lock connection A holds on s1.t1. While blocking, connection B
will hold the LOCK_mysql_create_db mutex.
3) Connection A tries to ALTER DATABASE s1. This will block when trying
to get LOCK_mysql_create_db mutex held by connection B.
4) Deadlock between DROP DATABASE and ALTER DATABASE (which has autocommit
off).

If Connection A used an explicitly started transaction rather than having
autocommit off, this deadlock did not happen as ALTER DATABASE is 
disallowed inside transactions.

This patch fixes the problem by changing ALTER DATABASE to cause an
implicit commit before executing. This will cause the metadata 
lock on s1.t1 to be dropped, allowing DROP DATABASE to proceed. 
This will in turn cause the LOCK_mysql_create_db mutex to be unlocked, 
allowing ALTER DATABASE to proceed.

Note that SQL commands other than ALTER DATABASE that also use 
LOCK_mysql_create_db, already cause an implicit commit. 

Incompatible change: ALTER DATABASE (and its synonym ALTER SCHEMA)
now cause an implicit commit. This must be reflected in the 
documentation.

Test case added to schema.test.


sql/sql_parse.cc:
  Added CF_AUTO_COMMIT_TRANS to SQLCOM_ALTER_DB.
  
  Removed thd->active_transaction() checks from SQLCOM_DROP_DB, 
  SQLCOM_ALTER_DB_UPGRADE and SQLCOM_ALTER_DB as these statements
  cause an implicit commit.

Bug #38661 'all threads hang in "opening tables" or "waiting for table"
            and cpu is at 100%'
                      
Concurrent execution of FLUSH TABLES statement and at least two statements
using the same table might have led to live-lock which caused all three
connections to stall and hog 100% of CPU.
        
tdc_wait_for_old_versions() wrongly assumed that there cannot be a share
with an old version and no used TABLE instances and thus was failing to
perform wait in situation when such old share was cached in MDL subsystem
thanks to a still active metadata lock on the table. So it might have
happened that two or more connections simultaneously executing statements
which involve table being flushed managed to prevent each other from
waiting in this function by keeping shared metadata lock on the table 
constantly active (i.e. one of the statements managed to take/hold this
lock while other statements were calling tdc_wait_for_old_versions()).
Thus they were forcing each other to loop infinitely in open_tables() - 
close_thread_tables_for_reopen() - tdc_wait_for_old_versions() cycle
causing CPU hogging.
        
This patch fixes this problem by removing this false assumption from
tdc_wait_for_old_versions().
 
Note that the problem is specific only for server versions >= 6.0.
        
No test case is submitted for this test, as the test infrastructure
hasn't got the necessary primitives to test the behaviour.  The
manifestation is that throughput will decrease to a low level
(possibly 0) after some time, and stay at that level. Several
transactions will not complete. 
        
Manual testing can be done by running the code submitted by Shane 
Bester attached to the bug report.  If the bug persists, the 
transaction thruput will almost immediately drop to near zero 
(shown as the transaction count output from the test program staying 
on a close to constant value, instead of increasing rapidly).

Fix for bug#39395 Maria: ma_extra.c:286: maria_extra: 
Assertion `share->reopen == 1' failed


sql/sql_base.cc:
  Race condition in wait_while_table_is_used() where a table used 
  by another connection could be forced closed, but there was no protection against the other thread re-opening the table and trying to lock it 
  again before the table was name locked by original thread.

                  
An error occuring in the execution of a stored procedure, called
from do_select is masked, since the error condition is not
propagated back to the caller (join->conds->val_int() returns
a result value, and not an error code)
                  
An explicit check was added to see if the thd error code has been
set, and if so, the loop status is set to the error state.

Backport from 6.0-codebase (revid: 2617.68.31)

          (diagnostics_area)
      
Execution of CREATE TABLE ... SELECT statement was not atomic in
the sense that concurrent statements trying to affect its target
table might have sneaked in between the moment when the table was
created and moment when it was filled according to SELECT clause.
This resulted in inconsistent binary log, unexpected target table
contents. In cases when concurrent statement was a DDL statement
CREATE TABLE ... SELECT might have failed with ER_CANT_LOCK error.
      
In more detail:
Due to premature metadata lock downgrade which occured after CREATE
TABLE SELECT statement created table but before it managed to obtain
table-level lock on it other statements were allowed to open, lock
and change target table in the middle of CREATE TABLE SELECT
execution. This also meant that it was possible that CREATE TABLE
SELECT would wait in mysql_lock_tables() when it was called for newly
created table and that this wait could have been aborted by concurrent
DDL. The latter led to execution of unexpected branch of code and
CREATE TABLE SELECT ending with ER_CANT_LOCK error.
      
The premature downgrade occured because open_table(), which was called
for newly created table, decided that it is OK to downgrade metadata
lock from exclusive to shared since table exists, even although it
was not acquired within this call.
      
This fix ensures that open_table() does not downgrade metadata lock
if it is not acquired during its current invocation.
      
Testing:
The bug is exposed in a race condition, and is thus difficult to
expose in a standard mysql-test-run test case.  Instead, a stress
test using the Random Query Generator (https://launchpad.net/randgen)
will trip the problem occasionally.
      
   % perl  runall.pl \
            --basedir=<build dir> \
             --mysqld=--table-lock-wait-timeout=5 \

Note: You will need a debug build to expose the bug
      
When the bug is tripped, the server will abort and dump core.

Postfix for Bug#48210 FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK deadlocks
                      against concurrent CREATE PROCEDURE

Rewrote the second test to use DROP PROCEDURE instead of 
CREATE USER as CREATE USER does not work with embedded server.

Bug #48210 FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK deadlocks
           against concurrent CREATE PROCEDURE

This deadlock occured between
a) CREATE PROCEDURE (or other commands listed below)
b) FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK

If the execution of them happened in the following order:
- a) opens a table (e.g. mysql.proc)
- b) locks the global read lock (or GRL)
- a) sleeps inside wait_if_global_read_lock()
- b) increases refresh_version and sleeps waiting 
     for old tables to go away

Note that a) must start waiting on the GRL before FLUSH increases
refresh_version. Otherwise a) won't wait on the GRL and instead
close its tables for reopen, allowing FLUSH to complete and thus
avoid the deadlock.

With this patch the deadlock is avoided by making CREATE PROCEDURE
acquire a protection against global read locks before it starts
executing. This means that FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK will have
to wait until CREATE PROCEDURE completes before acquiring the global
read lock, thereby avoiding the deadlock.

This is implemented by introducing a new SQL command flag called
CF_PROTECT_AGAINST_GRL. Commands marked with this flag will
acquire a GRL protection in the beginning of mysql_execute_command().
This patch adds the flag to CREATE, ALTER and DROP for PROCEDURE
and FUNCTION, as well as CREATE USER, DROP USER, RENAME USER and 
REVOKE ALL. All these commands either call open_grant_tables() or
open_system_table_for_updated() which make them susceptible for
this deadlock.

The patch also adds the CF_PROTECT_AGAINST_GRL flag to a number
of commands that previously acquired GRL protection in their
respective SQLCOM case in mysql_execute_command().

Test case that checks for GRL protection for CREATE PROCEDURE
and CREATE USER added to mdl_sync.test.

Followup to Bug#46654 False deadlock on concurrent DML/DDL with partitions, 
                      inconsistent behavior

Partition_sync.test uses features only available in debug builds.
Disabling the test for non-debug builds.

"ha_maria.cc:2415: assertion in ha_maria::store_lock()".

sql/lock.cc:
  Fixed wrong cleanup of mysql_lock_tables()
  - We must call read_lock_data() BEFORE we set 
  lock_count to 0. Added DBUG statements.

Bug #46654 False deadlock on concurrent DML/DDL with partitions, 
           inconsistent behavior

The problem was that if one connection is running a multi-statement 
transaction which involves a single partitioned table, and another 
connection attempts to alter the table, the first connection gets 
ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK and cannot proceed anymore, even when the ALTER TABLE 
statement in another connection has timed out or failed.

The reason for this was that the prepare phase for ALTER TABLE for 
partitioned tables removed all instances of the table from the table 
definition cache before it started waiting on the lock. The transaction 
running in the first connection would notice this and report ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK. 

This patch changes the prep_alter_part_table() ALTER TABLE code so that 
tdc_remove_table() is no longer called. Instead, only the TABLE instance
changed by prep_alter_part_table() is marked as needing reopen.

The patch also removes an unnecessary call to tdc_remove_table() from 
mysql_unpack_partition() as the changed TABLE object is destroyed by the 
caller at a later point.

Test case added in partition_sync.test.

Bug#40181 Made use of tdc_remove_table instead of just 
setting share->version to 0 to make sure all unused table
instances go away as part of CREATE/ALTER TABLE.

Bug #47313 assert in check_key_in_view during CALL procedure

View definitions are inlined in a stored procedure when the procedure
is fist called. This means that if a temporary table is later added
with the same name as the view, the stored procedure will still
use the view. This happens even if temporary tables normally shadow
base tables/views.

The reason for the assert was that even if the stored procedure
referenced the view, open_table() still tried to open the
temporary table. This "half view/half temporary table" state
caused the assert.

The bug was not present in 5.1 as open_table() is not called
for the view there. This code was changed with the introduction 
of MDL in order to properly lock the view and any objects it 
refers to.

This patch fixes the problem by instructing open_table()
to open base tables/views (using OT_BASE_ONLY) when reopening
tables/views used by stored procedures. This also means that
a prepared statement is no longer invalidated if a temporary
table is created with the same name as a view used in the
prepared statement.

Test case added to sp.test. The test case also demonstrates
the effect of sp cache invalidation between CALLs.


mysql-test/t/ps_ddl.test:
  Extended the VIEW->TEMPORARY TABLE transition test to cover not only
  merged views, but now also materialized views and views containing
  a reference to an information schema table. 
  
  Test also updated to reflect the change to prepared statement
  invalidatation.
