"Trigger fired multiple times leads to gaps in auto_increment sequence".
The bug was that if a trigger fired multiple times inside a top
statement (for example top-statement is a multi-row INSERT,
and trigger is ON INSERT), and that trigger inserted into an auto_increment
column, then gaps could be observed in the auto_increment sequence,
even if there were no other users of the database (no concurrency).
It was wrong usage of THD::auto_inc_intervals_in_cur_stmt_for_binlog.
Note that the fix changes "class handler", I'll tell the Storage Engine API team.

  result; before the bugfix, the sequence was 1,2,4,6,8,10,12...
mysql-test/t/trigger-trans.test:
  test for BUG#31612
sql/handler.cc:
  See revision comment of handler.h.
  As THD::auto_inc_intervals_in_cur_stmt_for_binlog is cumulative
  over all trigger invokations by the top statement, the
  second invokation of the trigger arrived in handler::update_auto_increment()
  with already one interval in
  THD::auto_inc_intervals_in_cur_stmt_for_binlog. The method thus
  believed it had already reserved one interval for that invokation,
  thus reserved a twice larger interval (heuristic when we don't know
  how large the interval should be: we grow by powers of two). InnoDB
  thus increased its internal per-table auto_increment counter by 2
  while only one row was to be inserted. Hence a gap in the sequence.
  The fix is to use the new handler::auto_inc_intervals_count.
  Note that the trigger's statement knows how many rows it is going
  to insert, but provides estimation_rows_to_insert == 0 (see comments
  in sql_insert.cc why triggers don't call handler::ha_start_bulk_insert()).
  * removing white space at end of line
  * we don't need to maintain THD::auto_inc_intervals_in_cur_stmt_for_binlog
  if no binlogging or if row-based binlogging. Using auto_inc_intervals_count in
  the heuristic makes the heuristic independent of binary logging, which is good.
sql/handler.h:
  THD::auto_inc_intervals_in_cur_stmt_for_binlog served
   - for binlogging
   - as a heuristic when we have no estimation of how many records the
     statement will insert.
  But the first goal needs to be cumulative over all statements which
  form a binlog event, while the second one needs to be attached to each
  statement. THD::auto_inc_intervals_in_cur_stmt_for_binlog is cumulative,
  leading to BUG#31612. So we introduce handler::auto_inc_intervals_count
  for the second goal. See the revision comment of handler.cc.
  A smaller issue was that, even when the binlog event was only one
  statement (no triggers, no stored functions),
  THD::auto_inc_intervals_in_cur_stmt.nb_elements() could be lower than
  the number of reserved intervals (fooling the heuristic), because its
  append() method collapses two contiguous intervals in one.
  Note that as auto_inc_intervals_count is in class 'handler' and not
  in class 'THD', it does not need to be handled in
  THD::reset|restore_sub_statement_state().
sql/log.cc:
  Comment is wrong: if auto_increment is second, in handler::update_auto_increment()
  'append' is false and so auto_inc_intervals_in_cur_stmt_for_binlog
  is empty, we do not come here.

That causes problems for partition engine when some partitions have records some not
as the engine uses same access method for all partitions.

Now partition engine doesn't call index_first/index_last
for empty tables.

  archive relies on a ha_archive::info call to flush data before
  the copy takes place in alter table.
  
  This ensures that all partitions gets a info call, without having
  to always forward info(HA_STATUS_AUTO) to all partitions.

Incremental patch to add comments to test cases.

      
The optimizer pulls up aggregate functions which should be aggregated in
an outer select. At some point it may substitute such a function for a field
in the temporary table. The setup_copy_fields function doesn't take this
into account and may overrun the copy_field buffer.
      
Fixed by filtering out the fields referenced through the specialized
reference for aggregates (Item_aggregate_ref).
Added an assertion to make sure bugs that cause similar discrepancy 
don't go undetected.

The Blackhole engine did not support row-based replication
since the delete_row(), update_row(), and the index and range
searching functions were not implemented.

This patch adds row-based replication support for the
Blackhole engine by implementing the two functions mentioned
above, and making the engine pretend that it has found the
correct row to delete or update when executed from the slave
SQL thread by implementing index and range searching functions.

It is necessary to only pretend this for the SQL thread, since
a SELECT executed on the Blackhole engine will otherwise never
return EOF, causing a livelock.

Bug#37536: Thread scheduling causes performance degradation at low thread count

Deprecated --skip-thread-priority startup option as newer versions of
the server won't change the thread priorities by default.

Giving threads different priorities might yield marginal improvements
in some platforms (where it actually works) but on the other hand it
might cause significant degradation depending on the thread count and
number of processors. Meddling with the thread priorities is a not a
safe bet as it is very dependent on the behavior of the cpu scheduler
and system where MySQL is being run.

From MySQL 6.0 and up the default behavior is that of not modifying
the threads priorities.

sql/mysqld.cc:
  Deprecate --skip-thread-priority

  pre push fix for bug#38804
  Found a missing 'if' for releasing the mutex

from stored procedure. 

Problem: we replace all references to local variables in stored procedures     
with NAME_CONST(name, value) logging to the binary log. However, if the
value's collation differs we might get an 'illegal mix of collation'           
error as we don't pass the collation to the function.

Fix: pass the value's collation to NAME_CONST().

Note: actually we should pass to NAME_CONST() the value's derivation as well.
It's impossible without the parser modifying. Now we always set the 
derivation to DERIVATION_IMPLICIT, the same as local variables have.
