Added options --boot-gdb etc.
  Extended gdb_arguments() with optional input argument
  Cannot use set args in gdb init file, as run < <input> kills them (?)

  Added simple cut-off w/warning if > one million lines

For some reason the test authentication plugin accepted connection with arbitrary password. But the intention of the plugin is that password should equal to the authentication string and in the later versions of the server connection fails if password is wrong. So I have updated auth_rpl test to specify the correct password.

               FULLTEXT INDEXES

myisamchk may create incorrect fulltext index for compressed
tables. Incorrect data pointer size was used while creating
fulltext index.

  Quick fix: run mysql-stress-test.pl via a wrapper test
  Amend mtr to run just that test when using --stress
  Updated mysql-stress-test.pl to exit(1) if wrong options

  Followup fixes for --ps-protocol:
  1) Incorrectly set ps_protocol variable instead of ps_protocol_enabled
  2) disable_result_log was tested after calling handle_no_error()
        which would revert a temporary setting.

Connection of slave to master using a replication account which authenticates
with an external plugin was not possible.

Fixed by making sure that the CLIENT_PLUGIN_AUTH capability is set when client connects using mysql_real_connect(). Also, a plugin-dir path used by client library to locate authentication plugins is set based on the analogous server setting. This is done in connect_to_master() function before a call to mysql_real_connect().

  Just check that core file name does not end in .gz
  Not a problem for Windows, as we check for files *ending* in .dmp

  Export $MYSQLD as full path to executable
  $MYSQLD_CMD is executable with minimum required args

  Call handle_error() instead of die() when evaluating these
  Must remember "current command" with link to errors to ignore
  Added test cases to mysqltest.test 

  Added a keyword ONCE to add to those commands
  Some internal tables to keep track of which properties are
    temporarily overriden
  Added tests in mysqltest.test
  Updates to other tests will be done later

when buffered changes are to be discarded

sync_thread_add_level(level = SYNC_IBUF_INDEX_TREE): Relax a too strict
condition that the thread must not be holding locks below SYNC_FSP_PAGE.
It is perfectly valid to hold any latch above SYNC_IBUF_INDEX_TREE when
acquiring the insert buffer tree latch.

bugs in it - accessing uninitialized ::len member (thanks, Jimmy!)
and a memory leak.

This is a followup to vasil.dimov@oracle.com-20110909070724-jvirxnpkbxieauz5
which disabled the prefetch code.

Please exclude make_binary_distribution from the distribution

With cmake (5.5 and up), "make package" will do it,
or cpack.
The (generated) "scripts/make_binary_distribution" is just
a wrapper around a "cpack" call,
with path names set at build time.

Similar, "make_win_bin_dist" is not needed any more.

when buffered changes are to be discarded

ibuf_add_free_page(): Lower the latching order of the newly allocated page
to SYNC_IBUF_TREE_NODE_NEW after latching the insert buffer tree root.

This bug always was bogus UNIV_SYNC_DEBUG alarm. The function
buf_block_dbg_add_level() is a no-op unless UNIV_SYNC_DEBUG is defined.

When there is a secondary index on a column prefix of an externally
stored column and an entry in the secondary index is shorter than the
reserved prefix length, it should mean that the secondary index entry
is holding the complete column value. When comparing this secondary
index column value to the column in the clustered index row, we must
compare the entire prefix that was fetched from the clustered
index. The bug was that we would just compare that the column in the
clustered index starts with the value found in the secondary index
column.

This bug affects only the InnoDB Barracuda formats (ROW_FORMAT=DYNAMIC
and ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED), in which columns that are stored off-page
in the clustered index do not contain any prefix in the clustered
index record.

row_sel_sec_rec_is_for_blob(): Add the parameter prefix_len, for
ifield->prefix_len. Add some assertions.

Sorry, I did not manage to produce a test case. This patch does
produce correct results on the data set that Michael isolated on our
test machine. That was with the purge and background rollback
suspended, because they would make the bug go away.

rb:760 approved by Sunny Bains

This change is a followup to
vasil.dimov@oracle.com-20110907145810-v98kldmho23vhhic
which triggered the usage of the prefetch and valgrind tests spat lots of
warnings.

The prefetch code will be removed.

Discussed with:	Marko (over IM)

InnoDB acquires an x-latch on btr_search_latch for certain in-place updates
that do affect the adaptive hash index. These operations do not really need
to be protected by the btr_search_latch:

* updating DB_TRX_ID
* updating DB_ROLL_PTR
* updating PAGE_MAX_TRX_ID
* updating the delete-mark flag

rb:750 approved by Sunny Bains

Tweak the faulty UNIV_SYNC_DEBUG diagnostics a little bit more.

ibuf_add_free_page(): Lower the latching order of the newly allocated page
only after acquiring the ibuf_mutex.

Merged cset against latest mysql-5.5.

IN SEMISYNC_MASTER.CC 

Fixing typo: writeTraxInBinlog() => writeTranxInBinlog() .

Additionally, fixed identation.
