It was needed when InnoDB Plugin was distributed independently of MySQL.
Approved by Vasil Dimov.

In early development of delete buffering, we did allow B-tree pages
to become empty as a result of buffered deletes. That caused fundamental
problems. The fix was to refuse buffering purge operations unless
the page can be guaranteed to be nonempty. Remove an attempt to
cope with empty pages when merging inserts.

This was replaced with REC_OLD_INFO_BITS in MySQL 5.0.3.

Remove non applicable licensing files

storage/innobase/COPYING is in the MySQL top level directory and
storage/innobase/COPYING.Sun_Microsystems is not applicable anymore
now that Oracle and Sun are one company.

On Solaris with version 3.4.6, the ha_example.so shared library is built
with DTrace and the server is built without DTrace support. This occurs
because dtrace.cmake disables DTrace support for 3.4.6, but still set
HAVE_DTRACE, which causes probes_mysql.h to include probes_mysql_dtrace.h
instead of probes_mysql_nodtrace.h.

This patch fixes this by not setting HAVE_DTRACE on Solaris for GCC 3.4.6.

Bug#53251      mysql_library_init fails on second execution with embedded library
      we need to call my_thread_init() once more. Normally it's called at the my_init()
      stage but that doesn't happen on the second my_init() call.

        When in embedded-serve mode, mysqltest tried to run '--send' commands in the separate thread.
        That upsets some engines (InnoDB particularly) as the transaction has to be executed in the same
        thread completely. So i implemented some different approach. So we create one separate thread for
        each connection and execute all the queries of this connection inside it. Looks even simpler than it was
        for me.

Bug#54906      Inconsistent license of libmysqld
        Added GPL license header instead of Library GPL.

Problem:
- ORDER BY for utf8mb4_bin, utf16_bin and utf32_bin returned
  results in a wrong order, because old functions
  (supporting only BMP range) were used to handle these collations.
- Additionally, utf16_bin did not sort supplementary characters
  between U+D700 and U+E000, as WL#1213 specification specified.

            "Access compatibility" syntax

The "wild" "DELETE FROM table_name.* ... USING ..." syntax
for multi-table DELETE statements is documented but it was
lost in the fix for the bug 30234.

The table_ident_opt_wild parser rule has been added
to restore the lost syntax.

 - Remove include of ha_ndbcluster_tables.h from mysqldump.c

so test case has to be updated.

      
The lock_type is upgrade to TL_WRITE from TL_WRITE_DELAYED for
INSERT DELAYED when inserting multi values in one statement.
It's safe. But it causes an unsafe warning in SBR.
      
Make INSERT DELAYED safe by logging it as INSERT without DELAYED.

            == MYSQL_TYPE_LONGLONG

A MIN/MAX() function with a subquery as its argument could lead
to a debug assertion on debug builds or wrong data on release
ones.

The problem was a combination of the following factors:

- Item_sum_hybrid::fix_fields() might use the argument
(args[0]) to calculate 'hybrid_field_type' which was later used
to decide how the data should be sent to the client.

- Item_sum::make_field() might use the argument again to
calculate the field's type when sending result set metadata to
the client.

- The argument could be changed in between these two calls via
  Item::set_arg() leading to inconsistent metadata being
  reported.

Here is what was happening for the bug's test case:

1. Item_sum_hybrid::fix_fields() calculates hybrid_field_type
as MYSQL_TYPE_LONGLONG based on args[0] which is an
Item::SUBSELECT_ITEM at that time.

2. A temporary table is created to execute the
query. create_tmp_field_from_item() creates a Field_long object
according to the subselect's max_length.

3. The subselect item in Item_sum_hybrid is replaced by the
Item_field object referencing the newly created Field_long.

4. Item_sum::make_field() rightfully returns the
MYSQL_TYPE_LONG type when calculating the result set metadata.

5. When sending the actual data, Item::send() relies on the
virtual field_type() function which in our case returns
previously calculated hybrid_field_type == MYSQL_TYPE_LONGLONG.

It looks like the only solution is to never refer to the
argument's metadata after the result metadata has been
calculated in fix_fields(), since the argument itself may be
different by then. In this sense, Item_sum::make_field() should
never be used, because it may rely on the argument's metadata
and is only called after fix_fields(). The "default"
implementation in Item::make_field() should be used instead as
it relies only on field_type(), but not on the argument's type.

Fixed by removing Item_sum::make_field() so that the superclass
implementation Item::make_field() is always used.
