The fix was suggested by Jimmy.

ASSERT happens due to improper calculation of the max_length
in Item_func_div object, if dividend has max_length == 0 then
Item_func_div::max_length is set to 0 under some circumstances.
The fix:
If decimals == NOT_FIXED_DEC then set
Item_func_div::max_length to max possible
DOUBLE length value.

Problem: master executed a statement that would fail on slave
(namely, DROP USER 'create_rout_db'@'localhost').
Then the test did:
  --let $rpl_only_running_threads= 1
  --source include/rpl_reset.inc
rpl_reset.inc calls rpl_sync.inc, which first checks which of
the threads are running and then syncs those threads that are
running. If the SQL thread fails after the check, the sync will
fail. So there was a race in the test and it failed on some
slow hosts.
Fix: Don't replicate the failing statement.

Item_sum_max/Item_sum_min incorrectly set null_value flag and
attempt to get result in parent functions leads to crash.
This happens due to double evaluation of the function argumet.
First evaluation happens in the comparator and second one
happens in Item_cache::cache_value().
The fix is to introduce new Item_cache object which
holds result of the argument and use this cached value
as an argument of the comparator.

This bug fix requires that Bug #58912 be fixed as well (bzr revision id
marko.makela@oracle.com-20101221093919-mcmmgd4zpse9567d). Otherwise,
another double BLOB free could occur when InnoDB would try to perform
an update-in-place as delete-and-insert-by-update-in-place.

row_upd_clust_rec_by_insert(): Do not disown the externally stored
columns from the old record (btr_cur_mark_extern_inherited_fields())
until after checking the foreign key constraints and successfully
inserting the updated record. If a lock wait timeout occurs between
the delete-marking of the old record and the insertion of the updated
record, mark the columns inherited before retrying the insert.
Distinguish the state UPD_NODE_INSERT_BLOB from
UPD_NODE_INSERT_CLUSTERED.

btr_cur_del_mark_set_clust_rec(): Replace the cursor with
block,rec,index,offsets so that the offsets need not be recalculated.
Assert that rec is on a clustered index leaf page.

btr_cur_disown_inherited_fields(): Renamed from
btr_cur_mark_extern_inherited_fields(). Use
upd_get_field_by_field_no(). Assert that there are externally stored
columns. Assert that a mini-transaction is passed. Remove the return
status. (The only caller, row_upd_clust_rec_by_insert(), will have
determined that some fields have changed ownership.)

btr_cur_mark_dtuple_inherited_extern(): Rename to
row_upd_clust_rec_by_insert_inherit_func() and declare as static. Add
the debug parameters rec, offsets. When rec is given, assert that the
off-page columns match those in the inesrt tuple and that the off-page
columns are owned by the record. Assert that the non-updated off-page
columns in the insert tuple are owned, and mark them inherited.

row_upd_clust_rec_by_insert_inherit(): A wrapper macro for
row_upd_clust_rec_by_insert_inherit_func().

row_undo_mod_upd_exist_sec(): Adjust a comment about
row_upd_clust_rec_by_insert().

rb:508 approved by Jimmy Yang

row_upd_changes_ord_field_binary(): Do not return TRUE if the update
vector changes a column that is covered by a prefix index, but does
not change the column prefix. Add the row_ext_t parameter for
determining whether the prefixes of externally stored columns match.

dfield_datas_are_binary_equal(): Add the parameter len, for comparing
column prefixes when len > 0.

innodb.test: Add a test case where the patch of Bug #55284 failed
without this fix.

Normally, auto_increment value is generated for the column by
inserting either NULL or 0 into it. NO_AUTO_VALUE_ON_ZERO
suppresses this behavior for 0 so that only NULL generates
the auto_increment value. This behavior is also followed by
a slave, specifically by the SQL Thread, when applying events
in the statement format from a master. However, when applying
events in the row format, the flag was ignored thus causing
an assertion failure:
"Assertion failed: next_insert_id == 0, file .\handler.cc"

In fact, we never need to generate a auto_increment value for
the column when applying events in row format on slave. So we
don't allow it to happen by using 'MODE_NO_AUTO_VALUE_ON_ZERO'.

Refactoring: Get rid of all the sql_mode checks to rows_log_event
when applying it for avoiding problems caused by the inconsistency
of the sql_mode on slave and master as the sql_mode is not set for
Rows_log_event.

Problem: Warnings for truncated data were generated on hosts with
long host names because @@hostname was inserted into a CHAR(40) column.
Fix: Change CHAR(40) to TEXT.

Major replication test framework cleanup. This does the following:
 - Ensure that all tests clean up the replication state when they
   finish, by making check-testcase check the output of SHOW SLAVE STATUS.
   This implies:
    - Slave must not be running after test finished. This is good
      because it removes the risk for sporadic errors in subsequent
      tests when a test forgets to sync correctly.
    - Slave SQL and IO errors must be cleared when test ends. This is
      good because we will notice if a test gets an unexpected error in
      the slave threads near the end.
    - We no longer have to clean up before a test starts.
 - Ensure that all tests that wait for an error in one of the slave
   threads waits for a specific error. It is no longer possible to
   source wait_for_slave_[sql|io]_to_stop.inc when there is an error
   in one of the slave threads. This is good because:
    - If a test expects an error but there is a bug that causes
      another error to happen, or if it stops the slave thread without
      an error, then we will notice.
    - When developing tests, wait_for_*_to_[start|stop].inc will fail
      immediately if there is an error in the relevant slave thread.
      Before this patch, we had to wait for the timeout.
 - Remove duplicated and repeated code for setting up unusual replication
   topologies. Now, there is a single file that is capable of setting
   up arbitrary topologies (include/rpl_init.inc, but
   include/master-slave.inc is still available for the most common
   topology). Tests can now end with include/rpl_end.inc, which will clean
   up correctly no matter what topology is used. The topology can be
   changed with include/rpl_change_topology.inc.
 - Improved debug information when tests fail. This includes:
    - debug info is printed on all servers configured by include/rpl_init.inc
    - User can set $rpl_debug=1, which makes auxiliary replication files
      print relevant debug info.
 - Improved documentation for all auxiliary replication files. Now they
   describe purpose, usage, parameters, and side effects.
 - Many small code cleanups:
    - Made have_innodb.inc output a sensible error message.
    - Moved contents of rpl000017-slave.sh into rpl000017.test
    - Added mysqltest variables that expose the current state of
      disable_warnings/enable_warnings and friends.
    - Too many to list here: see per-file comments for details.

Post-push fixes:

  - fixed platform dependent result files
  - appeasing valgrind warnings:
   
    Fault injection was also uncovering a previously existing 
    potential mem leaks. For BUG#46166 testing purposes, fixed 
    by forcing handling the leak when injecting faults.

Addressing review comments.

Bug#57913 large negative number to string conversion functions crash
String object which is used as result container of the item
has uninitialized 'str_charset' field. This object
might be used later to preform some internal operations
and str_charset field is involved in these operations.
It leads to crash.
The fix is to intialize str_charset in my_decimal2string() func.

Backport from 5.5. OK from Anitha G. to push to 5.1.

Removed floor(float_col) tests, enabled floor(decimal_col) tests

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.
