"ALTER SERVER can cause server to crash"
  While retrieving values, it would erronously set the socket value
  to NULL and attempt to use it in strcmp().
  Ensure it is correctly set to "" so that strcmp may not crash.

Disabling and enabling indexes on a non-empty table grows the
index file.

Disabling indexes just sets a flag per non-unique index and does not
free the index blocks of the affected indexes. Re-enabling indexes
creates new indexes with new blocks. The old blocks remain unused
in the index file.

Fixed by dropping and re-creating all indexes if non-empty disabled
indexes exist when enabling indexes. Dropping all indexes resets
the internal end-of-file marker to the end of the index file header.
It also clears the root block pointers of every index and clears the
deleted blocks chains. This way all blocks are declared as free.

  "Dynamic plugins fail to load on FreeBSD"
  ELF executables need to be linked using the -export-dynamic option to
  ld(1) for symbols defined in the executable to become visible to dlsym().
  Also, do not build plugins on an all-static build.

ucs2 doesn't provide required by fulltext ctype array. Crash
happens because fulltext attempts to use unitialized ctype
array.

Fixed by converting ucs2 fields to compatible utf8 analogue.

  causes the Server to crash.

Accessing partitioned table with an apostrophe in partition options
like DATA DIRECTORY, INDEX DIRECTORY or COMMENT causes server crash.

Partition options were saved in .frm file without escaping.
When accessing such table it is not possible to properly restore
partition information.
Crashed because there was no check for partition info parser failure.

Fixed by escaping quoted text in the partition info when writing it to
the frm-file and added a check that it was able to parse the partition
info before using it 

NOTE: If the comment is written by an earlier version of the server,
the corrupted frm-file is not fixed, but left corrupted, you have to
manually drop the table and recreate it.

  "CSV does not work with NULL value in datetime fields"
  Attempting to insert a row with a NULL value for a DATETIME field
  results in a CSV file which the storage engine cannot read.
  Don't blindly assume that "0" is acceptable for all field types,
  Since CSV does not support NULL, we find out from the field the
  default non-null value.
  Do not permit the creation of a table with a nullable columns.

The general log write function (general_log_print) uses printf style
arguments which need to be pre-processed, meaning that the all arguments
are copied to a single buffer and the problem is that the buffer size is
constant (1022 characters) but queries can be much larger then this.

The solution is to introduce a new log write function that accepts a
buffer and it's length as arguments. The function is to be used when
a formatted output is not required, which is the case for almost all
query write-to-log calls.

This is a incompatible change with respect to the log format of prepared
statements.

The server crashed when a thread was killed while locking the
general_log table at statement begin.

The general_log table is handled like a performance schema table.
The state of open tables is saved and cleared so that this table
seems to be the only open one. Then this table is opened and locked.
After writing, the table is closed and the open table state is
restored. Before restoring, however, it is asserted that there is
no current table open.

After locking the table, mysql_lock_tables() checks if the thread
was killed in between. If so, it unlocks the table and returns an
error. open_ltable() just returns with the error and leaves closing
of the table to close_thread_tables(), which is called at
statement end.

open_performance_schema_table() did not take this into account.
It assumed that a failed open_ltable() would not leave an open
table behind.

Fixed by closing thread tables after open_ltable() and before
restore_backup_open_tables_state() if the thread was killed.

No test case. It requires correctly timed parallel execution.
Since this bug was detected by the test suite, it seems
dispensable to add another test.

Previously, UDF *_init functions were passed constant strings with erroneous lengths. The length came from the containing variable's size, not the length of the value itself.
    
Now the *_init functions get the constant as a null terminated string with the correct length supplied too.

Post merge fixes: close any open statement before
the change user command and fix test case output.

  table to partitioned

Problem:
Crashed because usage of an uninitialised mutex when auto_incrementing
  a partitioned temporary table

Fix:
Only locking (using the mutex) if not temporary table.
