ISSUE:
------
There can be up to MERGEBUFF2 number of sorted merge chunks,
We need enough buffer space for at least one record from
each merge chunks. If estimates are wrong(very low) and we
allocate buffer space for less than MERGEBUFF2, then we will
have issue in merge_buffers, if actual number of rows to be
sorted is bigger than estimate and external filesort is
chosen.

SOLUTION:
---------
Set number of rows to sort to be at least MERGEBUFF2.

Problem:
find_order_by_list does not update the address of order_item
correctly after resolving.

Solution:
Change the ref_by address for a order_by field if its
SUM_FUNC_ITEM to the address of the field present in
all_fields.

Problem:
While getting the temp table field for a REF_ITEM
make_sortorder is using the real_item. As a result
server fails later with an assert.

Solution:
Do not use real_item to get the temp table field.
Instead use the REF_ITEM itself as temp table fields
are created for REF_ITEM not the real_item.

In versions 5.5 and 5.6 the MySQL version is not logged until
server is started and ready to accept connections. Exiting
server before this point will not have server version information
in the log. But in 5.7 code, we log a server version information
just after we prepare server_version string and logging is initialized.

For 5.5 and 5.6 code also adding this code to print server version
information.

LEADS TO INCORRECT BEHAVIOR

ISSUE:
------
When the following conditions are satisfied in a query, a
server crash occurs:
a) Two rows are compared using a NULL-safe equal-to operator.
b) Each of these rows belong to different charsets.

SOLUTION:
---------
When one charset is converted to another for comparision,
the constructor of "Item_func_conv_charset" is called.
This will attempt to use the Item_cache if the string is a
constant. This check succeeds because the "used_table_map"
of the Item_cache class is never set to the correct value.
Since it is mistakenly assumed to be a constant, it tries
to fetch the relevant null value related fields which are
yet to be initialized. This results in valgrind issues
and wrong results.

The fix is to update the "used_table_map" of "Item_cache".
This will allow "Item_func_conv_charset" to realise that
this is not a constant.

ISSUE:
------
We pre-allocate the ref_pointer_array before we resolve outer
references. This means that in some cases the
ref_pointer_array may not be large enough to hold all
references created. One such case is aggregate functions in
having clause of a subquery which may add items to select list
of outer query. So it is necessary to consider
select_n_having_items for subqueries while allocating
ref_pointer_array else we will get buffer overflow.

SOLUTION:
---------
Allocate a larger ref_pointer_array by aggregating
select_n_having_items for subqueries.
The fix in sql_yacc.yy is a backport from bug fix 18782905.

              CRASHES WITH AUTO_INCREMENT COLUMN

Description:- Creating a federated table with AUTO_INCREMENT
column using LIKE clause results in a server crash.

Analysis:- Creating a federated table with AUTO_INCREMENT
column using LIKE clause results in a federated server
crash due to the uninitialized connection structure(mysql).
Also due to unassigned connection string for the remote
server, at the time of preparation of "create_info"
structure, the creation of any federated table using LIKE
clause fails with an error, "ERROR 1 (HY000): server name:
'' doesn't exist!". This  bug is not only with
AUTO_INCREMENT but in all creations of federated tables with
LIKE clause.

Fix :- In ha_federated::info(), "mysql->insert_id" assigned
to "stats.auto_increment_value" only when there is an
active connection. This fixes the crash issue. For creating
the federated table with LIKE clause, connection string is
assigned at the time of preparation of "create_info"
structure.

Backporting the patch and the test case fixed as part
of BUG#16041903 and BUG#19683834 respectively.

The problem was that the maximum value of the transaction_prealloc_size
session system variable was ULONG_MAX which meant that it was possible
to cause the server to allocate excessive amounts of memory.

This patch fixes the problem by reducing the maxmimum value of
transaction_prealloc_size and transaction_alloc_block_size down
to 128K.

Note that transactions will still be able to allocate more than
128K if needed, this patch just reduces the amount that can be
preallocated - as well as the maximum size of the incremental
allocation blocks.

Fixing a post push test issue.

Problem Description And Fix:
Inserting a fudged record in mysql.proc with the dbname
column value as test and the name column as empty, will
cause a crash in mysqld when we run the command DROP
DATABASE test.
 During DROP DATABASE test, mysql_rm_db subsequently
calls lock_db_routines. In the routine we fetch the
field 'name' from mysql.proc by calling the underlying
storage engine API in lock_db_routines. This cause NULL
value as the field column of mysql.proc and subsequent
dereference MDL_request::init leads to crash.
Modifying mysql.proc using SQL command by user is not
supported, but in principle, there is a possibility
of mysql.proc getting corrupted which can also lead
to empty fields and arbitary values. The patch fixes
the crash by checking NULL and propagating the appopriate
error code to the user.

special character sets like utf16, utf32, ucs2.

Analysis: MySQL server does not support few special character sets like
  utf16,utf32 and ucs2 as "client's character set"(eg: utf16,utf32, ucs2).
  It is known limitation listed in the documentation
  http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/charset-connection.html.

  The default value for default-character-set parameter is 'auto'
  which means that if the server's character set is not supported,
  then server automatically changes client's character set to
  predefined character-set which is 'latin1' in the current code.

  Eg:
  $ ./mysql -uroot -S$SOCKET_FILE --default-character-set=utf16
  ERROR 1231 (42000): Variable 'character_set_client' can't be set to the value of 'utf16'

  $ ./mysql -uroot -S$SOCKET_FILE will be successfully connected to
  server with 'latin1' as default client side character set.

  When IO thread is trying to connect to Master, it sets server's character
  set as client's character set. When Slave server is started with these
  special character sets, IO thread (which is like a connection to Master)
  fails because of the above said limitation.

 Fix: Now even IO thread also behaves the same as a regular client behaves.
  i.e., If server's character set is not supported as client's character set,
  then set default's client character set(latin1) as client's character set.

Attempt to truncate temporary table using Blackhole storage and
locked by LOCK TABLES caused assertion failure and crashes.

Blackhole is a transaction-aware engine. While creating the temporary
table in transaction-aware engine, temporary table of type
"TRANSACTIONAL_TMP_TABLE" is created. For such temporary tables
a THR_LOCK lock is acquired by the LOCK TABLE operation. References
to them are also added into MYSQL_LOCK::table[] array. Also for
Blackhole engine, flag HTON_CAN_RECREATE is set.

While truncating temporary tables, no locks are taken and
recreate_temporary_table() is called for engines having
"HTON_CAN_RECREATE" in flag.

Function closefrm() is called from the recreate_temporary_table(),
to close the current temporary table. In closefrm(), the lock on
table expected is "F_UNLCK". In debug builds, assert condition on
this fails when lock of type "F_WRLCK" is acquired by LOCK TABLE
operation on temporary tables using Blackhole engine.

In non-debug builds closefrm() simply freed TABLE object leaving
dangling pointer to this object in MYSQL_LOCK::table[] array which
might lead to crashes later.

Fix:
---------
To fix this issue, we now unlock and remove table from MYSQL_LOCK::table[]
array before calling close_temporary_table() in recreate_temporary_table().
This is achieved by calling mysql_lock_remove() function for this table.

Description: When querying a subset of columns from the information_schema.TABLES

Analysis: When information about tables is collected for statements like
"SELECT ENGINE FROM I_S.TABLES" we do not perform full-blown table opens
in SE, instead we only use information from table shares from the Table
Definition Cache or .FRMs. Still in order to simplify I_S implementation
mock TABLE objects are created from TABLE_SHARE during this process.
This is done by calling open_table_from_share() function with special
arguments. Since this function always increments "Opened_tables" counter,
calls to it can be mistakingly interpreted as full-blown table opens in SE.

Note that claim that "'SELECT ENGINE FROM I_S.TABLES' statement doesn't
use Table Cache" is nevertheless factually correct. But it misses the
point, since such statements a) don't use full-blown TABLE objects and
therefore don't do table opens b) still use Table Definition Cache.

Fix: We are now incrementing the counter when db_stat(i.e open flags for ha_open(

we have considered an optimization which would use TABLE objects from
Table Cache when available instead of constructing mock TABLE objects,
but found it too intrusive for stable releases.

Analysis:
--------
Certain queries using intrinsic temporary tables may fail due to
name clashes in the file name for the temporary table when the
'temp-pool' enabled.

'temp-pool' tries to reduce the number of different filenames used for
temp tables by allocating them from small pool in order to avoid
problems in the Linux kernel by using a three part filename:
<tmp_file_prefix>_<pid>_<temp_pool_slot_num>.
The bit corresponding to the temp_pool_slot_num is set in the bit
map maintained for the temp-pool when it used for the file name.
It is cleared after the temp table is deleted for re-use.

The 'create_tmp_table()' function call under error condition
tries to clear the same bit twice by calling 'free_tmp_table()'
and 'bitmap_lock_clear_bit()'. 'free_tmp_table()' does a delete
of the table/file and clears the bit by calling the same function
'bitmap_lock_clear_bit()'.

The issue reported can be triggered under the timing window mentioned
below for an error condition while creating the temp table:
a) THD1: Due to an error clears the temp pool slot number used by it
   by calling 'free_tmp_table'.
b) THD2: In the process of creating the temp table by using an unused
   slot number in the bit map.
c) THD1: Clears the slot number used THD2 by calling
  'bitmap_lock_clear_bit()' after completing the call 'free_tmp_table'.
d) THD3: Uses the slot number used the THD2 since it is freed by THD1.
   When it tries to create the temp file using that slot number,
   an error is reported since it is currently in use by THD2.
   [The error: Error 'Can't create/write to file
   '/tmp/#sql_277e_0.MYD' (Errcode: 17)']

Another issue which may occur in 5.6 and trunk is that:
When the open temporary table fails after its creation(due to ulimit
or OOM error), the file is not deleted. Thus further attempts to use
the same slot number in the 'temp-pool' results in failure.

Fix:
---
a) Under the error condition calling the 'bitmap_lock_clear_bit()'
   function to clear the bit is unnecessary since 'free_tmp_table()'
   deletes the table/file and clears the bit. Hence removed the
   redundant call 'bitmap_lock_clear_bit()' in 'create_tmp_table()'
   This prevents the timing window under which the issue reported
   can be seen.

b) If open of the temporary table fails, then the file is deleted
   thus allowing the temp-pool slot number to be utilized for the
   subsequent temporary table creation.

c) Also if the attempt to create temp table fails since it already
   exists, the temp-pool slot for it is marked as used, to avoid
   the problem from re-appearing.

               COMMUNICATION PACKETS; FEDERATED TABLE

Description:- Execution of FLUSH TABLES on a federated
table which has been idle for wait_timeout (on the remote
server) + tcp_keepalive_time, fails with an error,
"ERROR 1160 (08S01): Got an error writing communication
packets."

Analysis:- During FLUSH TABLE execution the federated
table is closed which will inturn close the federated
connection. While closing the connection, federated server
tries to communincate with the remote server. Since the
connection was idle for wait_timeout(on the remote server)+
tcp_keepalive_time, the socket gets closed. So this
communication fails because of broken pipe and the error is
thrown. But federated connections are expected to reconnect
silently. And also it cannot reconnect because the 
"auto_reconnect" variable is set to 0 in "mysql_close()".

Fix:- Before closing the federated connection, in
"ha_federated_close()", a check is added which will verify
wheather the connection is alive or not. If the connection
is not alive, then "mysql->net.error" is set to 2 which
will indicate that the connetion is broken. Also the
setting of "auto_reconnect" variable to 0 is delayed and is
done after "COM_QUIT" command.
      
NOTE:- For reproducing this issue, "tcp_keepalive_time" has
to be set to a smaller value. This value is set in the
"/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_keepalive_time" file in Unix
systems. So we need root permission for changing it, which
can't be done through mtr test. So submitting the patch
without mtr test.
