POSIX requires that a signal handler defined with sigaction()
is not reset on delivering a signal unless SA_NODEFER or
SA_RESETHAND is set. It is therefore unnecessary to redefine
the handler on signal delivery on platforms where sigaction()
is used without those flags.

include/my_alarm.h:
  Renamed DONT_REMEMBER_SIGNAL ->
  SIGNAL_HANDLER_RESET_ON_DELIVERY.
include/my_global.h:
  Renamed DONT_REMEMBER_SIGNAL ->
  SIGNAL_HANDLER_RESET_ON_DELIVERY. The latter is now defined
  only on non-BSD platforms missing the POSIX sigaction()
  function.

The problem is that QUICK_SELECT_DESC behaviour depends
on used_key_parts value which can be bigger than selected
best_key_parts value if an engine supports clustered key.
But used_key_parts is overwritten with best_key_parts
value that prevents from correct selection of index
access method. The fix is to preserve used_key_parts
value for further use in QUICK_SELECT_DESC.

automatic reconnect

A client with automatic reconnect enabled will see the error
message "Lost connection to MySQL server during query" if the
connection is lost between mysql_stmt_prepare() and
mysql_stmt_execute(). The mysql_stmt_errno() number, however,
is 0 -- not the corresponding value 2013.

This patch checks for the case where the prepared statement
has been pruned due to a connection loss (i.e., stmt->mysql
has been set to NULL) during a call to cli_advanced_command(),
and avoids changing the last_errno to the result of the last
reconnect attempt.

The default value of the myisam_max_extra_sort_file_size could be
higher than the maximum accepted value, leading to warnings upon
the server start.

The solution is to simply set the value to the maximum value in a
32-bit built (2147483647, one less than the current). This should
be harmless as the option is currently unused in 5.1.

include/myisam.h:
  Remove now-unused macro.
sql/mysqld.cc:
  Set max value to INT_MAX32.

The problem was that a user could supply supply data in chunks
via the COM_STMT_SEND_LONG_DATA command to prepared statement
parameter other than of type TEXT or BLOB. This posed a problem
since other parameter types aren't setup to handle long data,
which would lead to a crash when attempting to use the supplied
data.

Given that long data can be supplied at any stage of a prepared
statement, coupled with the fact that the type of a parameter
marker might change between consecutive executions, the solution
is to validate at execution time each parameter marker for which
a data stream was provided. If the parameter type is not TEXT or
BLOB (that is, if the type is not able to handle a data stream),
a error is returned.

sql/sql_prepare.cc:
  Before converting the parameter data stream, check the type
  compatibility.
tests/mysql_client_test.c:
  Add test case.

DROP USER 
RENAME USER CURRENT_USER() ...
GRANT ... TO CURRENT_USER()
REVOKE ... FROM CURRENT_USER()
ALTER DEFINER = CURRENT_USER() EVENTbut, When these statements are binlogged, CURRENT_USER() just is binlogged
as 'CURRENT_USER()', it is not expanded to the real user name. When slave 
executes the log event, 'CURRENT_USER()' is expand to the user of slave 
SQL thread, but SQL thread's user name always NULL. This breaks the replication.

After this patch, session's user will be written into query log events 
if these statements call CURREN_USER() or 'ALTER EVENT' does not assign a definer.

  On slave SQL thread, Only thd->variables.current_user is written into Query_log_event,
  if it exists.
sql/sql_acl.cc:
  On slave SQL thread, grantor should copy from thd->variables.current_user, if it exists
sql/sql_class.h:
  On slave SQL thread, thd->variables.current_user is used to store the applying event's
  invoker.

This deadlock happened if DROP DATABASE was blocked due to an open
HANDLER table from a different connection. While DROP DATABASE
is blocked, it holds the LOCK_mysql_create_db mutex. This results
in a deadlock if the connection with the open HANDLER table tries
to execute a CREATE/ALTER/DROP DATABASE statement as they all
try to acquire LOCK_mysql_create_db.

This patch makes this deadlock scenario very unlikely by closing and
marking for re-open all HANDLER tables for which there are pending
conflicing locks, before LOCK_mysql_create_db is acquired.
However, there is still a very slight possibility that a connection
could access one of these HANDLER tables between closing/marking for
re-open and the acquisition of LOCK_mysql_create_db.

This patch is for 5.1 only, a separate and complete fix will be
made for 5.5+.

Test case added to schema.test.

During creation of the table list of
processed tables hidden I_S table 'VARIABLES'
is erroneously added into the table list.
it leads to ER_UNKNOWN_TABLE error in
TABLE_LIST::add_table_to_list() function.
The fix is to skip addition of hidden I_S
tables into the table list.

require O(#scans) memory

When an index merge operation was restarted, it would
re-allocate the Unique object controlling the duplicate row
ID elimination. Fixed by making the Unique object a member
of QUICK_INDEX_MERGE_SELECT and thus reusing it throughout
the lifetime of this object.
