We have several modes when we should disable subquery evaluation.
The reasons for disabling are different. It could be
uselessness of the evaluation as in case of 'CREATE VIEW'
or 'PREPARE stmt', or we should disable subquery evaluation
if tables are not locked yet as it happens in bug#54475, or
too early evaluation of subqueries can lead to wrong result
as it happened in Bug#19077.
Main problem is that if subquery items are treated as const
they are evaluated in ::fix_fields(), ::fix_length_and_dec()
of the parental items as a lot of these methods have
Item::val_...() calls inside.
We have to make subqueries non-const to prevent unnecessary
subquery evaluation. At the moment we have different methods
for this. Here is a list of these modes:

1. PREPARE stmt;
We use UNCACHEABLE_PREPARE flag.
It is set during parsing in sql_parse.cc, mysql_new_select() for
each SELECT_LEX object and cleared at the end of PREPARE in
sql_prepare.cc, init_stmt_after_parse(). If this flag is set
subquery becomes non-const and evaluation does not happen.

2. CREATE|ALTER VIEW, SHOW CREATE VIEW, I_S tables which
   process FRM files
We use LEX::view_prepare_mode field. We set it before
view preparation and check this flag in
::fix_fields(), ::fix_length_and_dec().
Some bugs are fixed using this approach,
some are not(Bug#57352, Bug#57703). The problem here is
that we have a lot of ::fix_fields(), ::fix_length_and_dec()
where we use Item::val_...() calls for const items.

3. Derived tables with subquery = wrong result(Bug19077)
The reason of this bug is too early subquery evaluation.
It was fixed by adding Item::with_subselect field
The check of this field in appropriate places prevents
const item evaluation if the item have subquery.
The fix for Bug19077 fixes only the problem with
convert_constant_item() function and does not cover
other places(::fix_fields(), ::fix_length_and_dec() again)
where subqueries could be evaluated.

Example:
CREATE TABLE t1 (i INT, j BIGINT);
INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (1, 2), (2, 2), (3, 2);
SELECT * FROM (SELECT MIN(i) FROM t1
WHERE j = SUBSTRING('12', (SELECT * FROM (SELECT MIN(j) FROM t1) t2))) t3;
DROP TABLE t1;

4. Derived tables with subquery where subquery
   is evaluated before table locking(Bug#54475, Bug#52157)

Suggested solution is following:

-Introduce new field LEX::context_analysis_only with the following
 possible flags:
 #define CONTEXT_ANALYSIS_ONLY_PREPARE 1
 #define CONTEXT_ANALYSIS_ONLY_VIEW    2
 #define CONTEXT_ANALYSIS_ONLY_DERIVED 4
-Set/clean these flags when we perform
 context analysis operation
-Item_subselect::const_item() returns
 result depending on LEX::context_analysis_only.
 If context_analysis_only is set then we return
 FALSE that means that subquery is non-const.
 As all subquery types are wrapped by Item_subselect
 it allow as to make subquery non-const when
 it's necessary.

  
On this platform we seem to get lots of other signals
while waiting for SIGKILL to be delivered.

Solution: use sigsuspend(<all signals blocked>)

Auto increment value wraps when performing a bulk insert with
auto_increment_increment and auto_increment_offset greater than
one.
The fix:
If overflow happened then return MAX_ULONGLONG value as an
indication of overflow and check this before storing the
value into the field in update_auto_increment().

Explain fails at fix_fields stage and some items are left unfixed,
particulary Item_group_concat. Item_group_concat::orig_args field
is uninitialized in this case and Item_group_concat::print call 
leads to crash.
The fix:
move the initialization of Item_group_concat::orig_args
into constructor.

The tests generates 4 Billion rows which timeouts.

Removed the test from the default weekly run.

 my_seek() and my_tell() functions now honour MY_WME flag.

Do not use the same maintainer mode flags for both GCC and ICC.
The -Wall option for ICC enables more warnings than its GCC
counterpart.

DROP/CREATE SCHEMA, CREATE TABLE, REPAIR.

The cause of assert was concurrent execution of
DROP DATABASE and REPAIR TABLE where first statement
deleted table's file .TMD at the same time as
REPAIR TABLE tried to read file details from the old file
that was just removed.

Additionally was fixed trouble when DROP TABLE try delete
all files belong to table being dropped at the same time
when REPAIR TABLE statement has just deleted .TMD file.

No regression test added because this would require adding a
sync point to mysys/my_redel.c. Since this bug is not present in
5.5+, adding test coverage was considered unnecessary.
The patch has been verified using RQG testing.

mysqltest checks if the stmt is one that should be run in ps mode,
  but regexp doesn't match if preceeded by /* */ comment.
Fix: match function will jump over /*..*/ if found at start

Backported use of setenv() from 5.5
This will remove the leak on systems that have setenv()
I have not fixed the string.c leak, it's a local variable
   that the cleanup function cannot access.

When a query fails with a different error on the slave,
the sql thread outputs a message (M) containing:

  1. the error message format for the master error code
  2. the master error code
  3. the error message for the slave's error code
  4. the slave error code

Given that the slave has no information on the error message
itself that the master outputs, it can only print its own
version of the message format (but stripped from the 
additional data if the message format requires). This may
confuse users.

To fix this we augment the slave's message (M) to explicitly
state that the master's message is actually an error message 
format, the one associated with the given master error code 
and that the slave server knows about.

Fixing test case that fails on Windows because .dll is used.

When installing plugins, there is a missing check
for slash (/) in the path on Windows. Note that on
Windows, both / and \ can be used to separate
directories.

This patch fixes the issue by:
- Adding a FN_DIRSEP symbol for all platforms
  consisting of a string of legal directory
  separators.
- Adding a charset-aware version of strcspn().
- Adding a check_valid_path() function that uses
  my_strcspn() to check if any FN_DIRSEP character
  is in the supplied string.
- Using the check_valid_path() function in
  sql_plugin.cc and sql_udf.cc (which means
  replacing the existing test there).

The windows MTR run exhibited a different test execution 
ordering (due to the fact that in these platforms MTR is invoked
with --parallel > 1). This uncovered a bug in the aforementioned
test case, which is triggered by the following conditions:

  1. server is not restarted between two different tests;
  2. the test before binlog.binlog_row_failure_mixing_engines
     issues flush logs;
  3. binlog.binlog_row_failure_mixing_engines uses binlog
     positions to limit the output of show_binlog_events;
  4. binlog.binlog_row_failure_mixing_engines does not state which
     binlog file to use, thence it uses a wrong binlog file with
     the correct position.

There are two possible fixes: 1. make sure that the test start 
from a clean slate - binlog wise; 2. in addition to the position, 
also state the binary log file before sourcing 
show_binlog_events.inc .

We go for fix #1, ie, deploy a RESET MASTER before the test is 
actually started.

The problem is that the logic which checks if a pointer is
valid relies on a poor heuristic based on the start and end
addresses of the data segment and heap.

Apart from miscalculating the heap bounds, this approach also
suffers from the fact that memory can come from places other
than the heap. See Bug#58528 for a more detailed explanation.

On Linux, the solution is to access the process's memory
through /proc/self/task/<tid>/mem, which allows for retrieving
the contents of pages within the virtual address space of
the calling process. If a address range is not mapped, a
input/output error is returned.

the DROP statement ..."
      
Problem: When using temporary tables and closing a session, an
implicit DROP TEMPORARY TABLE IF EXISTS is written to the binary
log (while cleaning up the context of the session THD - see:
sql_class.cc:THD::cleanup which calls close_temporary_tables).
     
close_temporary_tables, first checks if the binary log is opened
and then proceeds to creating the DROP statements. Then, such
statements, are written to the binary log through
MYSQL_BIN_LOG::write(Log_event *). Inside, there is another check
if the binary log is opened and if not an error is returned. This
is where the faulty behavior is triggered. Given that the test
case replays a binary log, with temp tables statements, and right
after it issues RESET MASTER, there is a chance that is_open will
report false (when the mysql session is closed and the temporary
tables are written).
      
is_open may return false, because MYSQL_BIN_LOG::reset_logs is
not setting the correct flag (LOG_CLOSE_TO_BE_OPENED), on the
MYSQL_LOG_BIN::log_state (instead it sets just the
LOG_CLOSE_INDEX flag, leaving the log_state to
LOG_CLOSED). Thence, when writing the DROP statement as part of
the THD::cleanup, the thread could get a return value of false
for is_open - inside MYSQL_BIN_LOG::write, ultimately reporting
that it can't write the event to the binary log.
      
Fix: We fix this by adding the correct flag, missing in the
second close.

When using BINLOG statement to execute rows log events, session variables
foreign_key_checks and unique_checks are changed temporarily.  As each rows
log event has their own special session environment and its own
foreign_key_checks and unique_checks can be different from current session
which executing the BINLOG statement. But these variables are not restored
correctly after BINLOG statement. This problem will cause that the following
statements fail or generate unexpected data.

In this patch, code is added to backup and restore these two variables.
So BINLOG statement will not affect current session's variables again.
