Some of the server implementations don't support dates later
than 2038 due to the internal time type being 32 bit.
Added checks so that the server will refuse dates that cannot
be handled by either throwing an error when setting date at 
runtime or by refusing to start or shutting down the server if 
the system date cannot be stored in my_time_t.

Patch for bug#52913: Inserted check if mysqlhotcopy script is existing as requested by review. DIsabled the test until bug#54129 will befixed.

There was a valgrind issue on the loop that checks whether there
are NULL fields in the UNIQUE KEY or not. In detail, for the last 
iteration the server may read out of the key_part array boundaries,
making valgrind to output warnings.

We fix this by correcting the loop, ie, moving the part that reads
from the key_part to be inside the loop statement block. This way
the assignment is protected by the loop condition.

When using Unique Keys with nullable parts in RBR, the slave can
choose the wrong row to update. This happens because a table with
an unique key containing nullable parts cannot strictly guarantee 
uniqueness. As stated in the manual, for all engines, a UNIQUE 
index allows multiple NULL values for columns that can contain 
NULL.

We fix this at the slave by extending the checks before assuming
that the row found through an unique index is is the correct
one. This means that when a record (R) is fetched from the storage
engine and a key that is not primary (K) is used, the server does 
the following: 

 - If K is unique and has no nullable parts, it returns R;
 - Otherwise, if any field in the before image that is part of K
   is null do an index scan;
 - If there is no NULL field in the BI part of K, then return R.

A side change: renamed the existing test case file and added a
test case covering the changes in this patch.

MTR will ignore fully qualified test name entries in disabled.def 
lists. Therefore, it would still run the test case, even if it is
listed.

This patch fix this by extending the check when marking the test
case as disabled to take into consideration not only the cases that
contain the simple test name but also those that contain fully 
qualified test names.

On Intel x86 machines index selection by the MySQL query
optimizer could sometimes depend on the compiler version and
optimization flags used to build the server binary.

The problem was a result of a known issue with floating point
calculations on x86: since internal FPU precision (80 bit)
differs from precision used by programs (32-bit float or 64-bit
double), the result of calculating a complex expression may
depend on how FPU registers are allocated by the compiler and
whether intermediate values are spilled from FPU to memory. In
this particular case compiler versions and optimization flags
had an effect on cost calculation when choosing the best index
in best_access_path().

A possible solution to this problem which has already been
implemented in mysql-trunk is to limit FPU internal precision
to 64 bits. So the fix is a backport of the relevant code to
5.1 from mysql-trunk.

err_index could be not a member of the share structure or prebuilt
structure passed from MySQL. For now, we resort to the traditional
way of scanning index->table for the index number.

(Added a real error message instead of ER_UNKNOWN_ERROR)

Add code to waiting for a set of errors.
Add code to waiting for an error instead of waiting for io thread to stop, as
after 'START SLAVE', the status of io thread is still not running.
But it doesn't mean slave io thread encounters an error.

"Embedded SELECT without FOR UPDATE is causing a lock"
into 5.5 tree. One of 5.5 trees already contains a
more thorough version of the fix.

without FOR UPDATE is causing a lock".

SELECT statements with subqueries referencing InnoDB tables
were acquiring shared locks on rows in these tables when they
were executed in REPEATABLE-READ mode and with statement or
mixed mode binary logging turned on.

This was a regression which were introduced when fixing
bug 39843.

The problem was that for tables belonging to subqueries
parser set TL_READ_DEFAULT as a lock type. In cases when
statement/mixed binary logging at open_tables() time this
type of lock was converted to TL_READ_NO_INSERT lock at
open_tables() time and caused InnoDB engine to acquire
shared locks on reads from these tables. Although in some
cases such behavior was correct (e.g. for subqueries in
DELETE) in case of SELECT it has caused unnecessary locking.

This patch implements minimal version of the fix for the
specific problem described in the bug-report which supposed
to be not too risky for pushing into 5.1 tree.
The 5.5 tree already contains a more appropriate solution
which also addresses other related issues like bug 53921
"Wrong locks for SELECTs used stored functions may lead
to broken SBR".

This patch tries to solve the problem by ensuring that
TL_READ_DEFAULT lock which is set in the parser for
tables participating in subqueries at open_tables()
time is interpreted as TL_READ_NO_INSERT or TL_READ.
TL_READ is used only if we know that this is a SELECT
and that this particular table is not used by a stored
function.

Test coverage is added for both InnoDB and MyISAM.

This patch introduces an "incompatible" change in locking
scheme for subqueries used in SELECT ... FOR UPDATE and
SELECT .. IN SHARE MODE.

In 4.1 (as well as in 5.0 and 5.1 before fix for bug 39843)
the server would use a snapshot InnoDB read for subqueries
in SELECT FOR UPDATE and SELECT .. IN SHARE MODE statements,
regardless of whether the binary log is on or off.

If the user required a different type of read (i.e. locking
read), he/she could request so explicitly by providing FOR
UPDATE/IN SHARE MODE clause for each individual subquery.

The patch for bug 39843 broke this behaviour (which was not
documented or tested), and started to use locking reads for
all subqueries in SELECT ... FOR UPDATE/IN SHARE MODE.
This patch restores 4.1 behaviour.

This patch should be mostly null-merged into 5.5 tree.
