Existing implementation used my_checksum (from mysys)
for calculating table checksum and binlog checksum.

This implementation was optimized for powerpc only and lacked
SIMD implementation for x86 (using clmul) and ARM
(using ACLE) instead used zlib-crc32.

mariabackup had its own copy of the crc32 implementation
using hardware optimized implementation only for x86 and lagged
hardware based implementation for powerpc and ARM.

Patch helps unifies all such calls and help aggregate all of them
using an unified interface my_checksum().

Said unification also enables hardware optimized calls for all
architecture viz. x86, ARM, POWERPC.
Default always fallback to zlib crc32.

Thanks to Daniel Black for reviewing, fixing and testing
PowerPC changes. Thanks to Marko and Daniel for early code feedback.

Disallowing EXTRACT(xxx FROM inet6arg) as fix time.
Adding a new method Type_handler::can_return_extract_source().

The opt_for_user subrule was incorrectly scanned before sp_create_assignment_lex(),
so the user name and the host were created on a wrong memory root.

- Reoganizing the grammar to make sure that sp_create_assignment_lex()
  is called immediately after PASSWORD_SYM is scanned, so all attributes
  are then allocated on its memory root.

- Moving the semantic code as methods to LEX, so the grammar looks as simple as possible.

- Changing text_or_password to be of the data type USER_AUTH*.
  As a side effect, the LEX::definer member is now not used when processing
  the SET PASSWORD statement. Everything is done using Bison's stack.

The bug sas introduced by this commit:
commit bf5a144e

Less error prone, stricter type control.

This couldn't cause any bugs as ptr was zero terminated, but still better
to have the length correct.

This change also affects information_schema.tables

The create table option "transactional=0 | 1" is now always shown for
storage engines that supports both transactional/crash safe tables and
non transactional tables.

Before this patch the transactional=... option was only shown if the user
specified transactional=... in the CREATE TABLE or ALTER TABLE statement.
The reason for the change was to be able to make it easy to know if an Aria
table is transactional or not.

A crash was observed where dict_acquire_mdl_shared<trylock=false>
would invoke memcpy() with an apparently uninitialized tbl_len.

dict_table_t::parse_name(): Remove an unnecessary tbl_len--
operation. (This should be mostly non-functional cleanup.)

dict_acquire_mdl_shared(): If the second dict_table_t::parse_name()
returns false, terminate the loop just like we would do on the
first invocation.

MDEV-22746: Assertion `(&(&pagecache->cache_lock)->m_mutex)->count > 0 && pthread_equal(pthread_self(), (&(&pagecache->cache_lock)->m_mutex)->thread)' failed in dec_counter_for_resize_op

Removed second attempt to decrease counter

(The table already existed in the storage engine)

Wrong algorithm of closing partitions on error doesn't close last
partition.

commit d09aec7a (MDEV-19940)
caused a regression. We made wait_lock_get_heap_no() return
uint16_t instead of ulint, and we mostly replaced the previous
magic value ULINT_UNDEFINED with 0. But, we failed to adjust
some assertions. Furthermore, 0 is a valid although rare value
for record locks. (Record locks can be temporarily stored on
page infimum in some operations that involve multiple leaf pages.)

Let us use 0xFFFF as the magic value. Valid heap numbers
are limited to less than 9362 = innodb_page_size/(5+1+1)
when using a minimal 1-byte PRIMARY KEY and a
secondary index on a NULL or '' column.

when checking for free port, use the same logic (IPv6 socket address
/ dual socket), like the server would.

Previous solution for testing whether port is free was trying to bind
IPv4 socket on INADDR_ANY.

This not work now on some reason, that attempt succeeds, even if there is
an existing IPv6-dual socket listening on 0.0.0.0:3306

It works, but irritates people who look into the log and see
traces of 32bit custom action server.

In the merge 9e6e4355 we replaced
direct use of std::atomic with a wrapper class, so that
dict_index_t::lock will support the default assignment operator.

As part of that change, one occurrence of std::memory_order_release
was accidentally replaced with std::memory_order_relaxed.

Thanks to Sergey Vojtovich for noticing this.

Wrong condition for corner values.

Respect system fields in NO_ZERO_DATE mode.

Conflict resolution from 7d5223310789f967106d86ce193ef31b315ecff0

The constructor of Lex_ident_sys returns LEX_CSTRING(NULL,0) if character set
conversion goes wrong, and raises the "wrong character string" error in
the diagnostics area.

The code in sql_yacc.yy did not check Lex_ident_sys::ptr against NULL,
so the execution entered functions that did not expect NULL (and crashed).

Fixing the code to do MYSQL_YYABORT if Lex_ident_sys::ptr is NULL
after constructing.

Respect system fields in NO_ZERO_DATE mode.

UPDATE gets access to history records because versioning conditions
are not set for VIEW. This leads to endless loop of inserting history
records when clustered index is rebuilt and ha_rnd_next() returns
newly inserted history record.

Return back original behavior of failing on write-locked table in
historical query.

35b679b9 assumed that SELECT_LEX::lock_type influences anything, but
actually at this point table is already locked. Original bug report
was tempesta-tech/mariadb#102

Bogus if() logic inside the func.

System versioning assertion fix. Since DROP SYSTEM VERSIONING does not
change list of dropped keys we should handle a special case.

Caused by MDEV-19751. This fix deprecates MDEV-17091.

commit 3a37644a added a non-POD
member buf_page_info_t::id, and thus GCC 7 or later would complain
about a memset() call. Let my_malloc fill the memory for us.

InnoDB mutex monitor is accessing mutexes of poisoned (cached) trx
objects. Unpoison ReadView::m_mutex similarly to trx_t::mutex.

This is regression after MDEV-22593.

otherwise it reaches "0 tests left" state and then waits for
a few minutes  for all workers to complete their tests.
