if the standard input is a directory.

The problem is that mysql monitor try to read from stdin without
checking input source type.

The solution is to stop reading data from standard input if a call
to read(2) failed.

A new test case was added into mysql.test.

handling.

The problem was that parsing of nested regular expression involved
recursive calls. Such recursion didn't take into account the amount of
available stack space, which ended up leading to stack overflow crashes.

      
There is one part of the test case that needs to break
and re-establish the circular topology. For this the test
stops the slave threads on a couple of servers and restarts
them with START SLAVE. However, no check is done on the
status of the IO or SQL threads before proceeding with
the subsequent commands.
      
Because rpl_only_running_threads is set to 1 this can lead
to silently not syncing all slave threads as expected, 
ultimately resulting in unexpected results (and consequently
on a failing test run).
      
We fix this by replacing the START SLAVE instructions with
calls to --source include/start_slave.inc, which will wait
for the slave threads to be running (show 'Yes' in 
Slave_IO|SQL_Running fields of SHOW SLAVE STATUS) before 
proceeding. Additionally, we change rpl_sync.inc to make the
IO thread report that it is running when its running status
is any other than 'No'.

Bug #55755 : Date STD variable signness breaks server on FreeBSD and OpenBSD

* Added a check to configure on the size of time_t
* Created a macro to check for a valid time_t that is safe to use with datetime 
  functions and store in TIMESTAMP columns.
* Used the macro consistently instead of the ad-hoc checks introduced by 52315
* Fixed compliation warnings on platforms where the size of time_t is smaller than
  the size of a long (e.g. OpenBSD 4.8 64 amd64).

Bug #52315: utc_date() crashes when system time > year 2037

* Added a correct check for the timestamp range instead of just variable size check to
SET TIMESTAMP.
* Added overflow checking before converting to time_t. 
* Using a correct localized error message in this case instead of the generic error.
* Added a test suite.
* fixed the checks so that they check for unsigned time_t as well. Used the checks 
  consistently across the source code.
* fixed the original test case to expect the new error code.

Attempt to create InnoDB table with non-nullable column of
geometry type having an unique key with length 12 on it and
with some other candidate key led to server crash due to
assertion failure in both non-debug and debug builds.

The problem was that such a non-candidate key could have
been sorted as the first key in table/.FRM, before any legit
candidate keys. This resulted in assertion failure in InnoDB
engine which assumes that primary key should either be the
first key in table/.FRM or should not exist at all.

The reason behind such an incorrect sorting was an wrong
value of Create_field::key_length member for geometry field
(which was set to its pack_length == 12) which confused code
in mysql_prepare_create_table(), so it would skip marking
such key as a key with partial segments.

This patch fixes the problem by ensuring that this member
gets the same value of Create_field::key_length member as 
for other blob fields (from which geometry field class is
inherited), and as result unique keys on geometry fields
are correctly marked as having partial segments.

            
Root cause for this bug is that the optimizer try to detect&
optimize the special case:
      
'<field>  BETWEEN c1 AND c1' and handle this as the condition '<field>  = c1'
            
This was implemented inside add_key_field(.. *field, *value[]...)
which assumed field to refer key Field, and value[] to refer a [low...high]
constant pair. value[0] and value[1] was then compared for equality.
            
In a 'normal' BETWEEN condition of the form '<field>  BETWEEN val1 and val2' the
BETWEEN operation is represented with an argementlist containing the
values [<field>, val1, val2] - add_key_field() is then called with
parameters field=<field>, *value=val1.
            
However, if the BETWEEN predicate specified:
            
 1)  '<const1>  BETWEEN<const2>  AND<field>
            
the 'field' and 'value' arguments to add_key_field() had to be swapped.
This was implemented by trying to cheat add_key_field() to handle it like:
            
 2) '<const1>  GE<const2>  AND<const1>  LE<field>'
            
As we didn't really replace the BETWEEN operation with 'ge' and 'le',
add_key_field() still handled it as a 'BETWEEN' and compared the (swapped)
arguments<const1>  and<const2>  for equality. If they was equal, the
condition 1) was incorrectly 'optimized' to:
            
 3) '<field>  EQ <const1>'
            
This fix moves this optimization of '<field>  BETWEEN c1 AND c1' into
add_key_fields() which then calls add_key_equal_fields() to collect 
key equality / comparison for the key fields in the BETWEEN condition.

Third updated patch - this version also includes copyright notice in added Perl script.
This patch implements a check for such modules at runtime. If modules are not found or unable to load, the test is skipped with 
the following message:
            
            [ skipped ]  Test needs Perl modules DBI and DBD::mysql
            
Checks are done via a helper Perl script which looks for the module in a runtime environment that is as similar to that of the 
mysqlhotcopy script as possible (thus not intended for Windows environments at this time).
The helper script tells mysql-test about the result by writing information to a temporary file that is later read by mysql-test.
See comments in added files (have_dbi_dbd-mysql.inc and checkDBI_DBD-mysql.pl) for details.
The patch also removes the mysqlhotcopy tests from the list of disabled tests.

In SBR, if a statement does not fail, it is always written to the binary
log, regardless if rows are changed or not. If there is a failure, a
statement is only written to the binary log if a non-transactional (.e.g.
MyIsam) engine is updated.

INSERT ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE and INSERT IGNORE were not following the
rule above and were not written to the binary log, if then engine was
Innodb.

There are two calls to read_log_event() on master in mysql_binlog_send().
Each call reads 19 bytes in this test case and the error of the second
read_log_event() is reported to the slave.

The second read_log_event() starts from position 94 (75 + 19) to 113
(75 + 19 + 19). Usually, there are two events in the binary log:

    . 0   - 3   - Header
    . 4   - 105 - Format Descriptor Event
    . 106 - 304 - Query Event

and both reads fail because operations are reading from invalid positions
as expected.

However, mysql_binlog_send() does not use the same IO_CACHE that is used to
write into binary log (i.e. mysql_bin_log.log_file) for the hot binary log.
It opens the binary log file directly by calling open_binlog() and creates a
separated IO_CACHE. So there is a possibly that after a master has flushed
the binary log file, the content has been cached by the filesystem, and has
not updated the disk file. If this happens, then a slave will only see part
of the file, and thus the second read_log_event() will report event truncated
error.

To fix the problem, if the first read_log_event() has failed, we ensure that
the second one will try to read from the same position.

trx_get_trx_by_xid(): Invalidate trx->xid after a successful lookup,
so that subsequent callers will not find the same transaction.

The only callers of trx_get_trx_by_xid() will be invoking
innobase_commit_low() or innobase_rollback_trx(), and those code paths
should not depend on trx->xid.
