The assertion failure was correct because the 'width' argument
of my_gcvt() has the signed integer type, whereas the unsigned
value UINT_MAX32 was being passed by the caller
(Field_double::val_str()) leading to a negative width in
my_gcvt().

The following chain of problems was found by further analysis:

1. The display width for a floating point number is calculated
in Field_double::val_str() as either field_length or the
maximum possible length of string representation of a floating
point number, whichever is greater. Since in the bug's test
case field_length is UINT_MAX32, we get the same value as the
display width. This does not make any sense because for numeric
values field_length only matters for ZEROFILL columns,
otherwise it does not make sense to allocate that much memory
just to print a number. Field_float::val_str() has a similar
problem.

2. Even if the above wasn't the case, we would still get a
crash on a slightly different test case when trying to allocate
UINT_MAX32 bytes with String::alloc() because the latter does
not handle such large input values correctly due to alignment
overflows.

3. Even when String::alloc() is fixed to return an error when
an alignment overflow occurs, there is still a problem because
almost no callers check its return value, and
Field_double::val_str() is not an exception (same for
Field_float::val_str()).

4. Even if all of the above wasn't the case, creating a
Field_double object with UINT_MAX32 as its field_length does
not make much sense either, since the .frm code limits it to
MAX_FIELD_CHARLENGTH (255) bytes. Such a beast can only be
created by create_tmp_field_from_item() from an Item with
REAL_RESULT as its result_type() and UINT_MAX32 as its
max_length.

5. For the bug's test case, the above condition (REAL_RESULT
Item with max_length = UINT_MAX32) was a result of
Item_func_if::fix_length_and_dec() "shortcutting" aggregation
of argument types when one of the arguments was a constant
NULL. In this case, the attributes of the aggregated type were
simply copied from the other, non-NULL argument, but max_length
was still calculated as per the general, non-shortcut case, by
choosing the greatest of argument's max_length, which is
obviously not correct.

The patch addresses all of the above problems, even though
fixing the assertion failure for the particular test case would
require only a subset of the above problems to be solved.

with two connections doing LOCK TABLE+INSERT DELAYED".

Disabled --ps-protocol for this part of the test as INSERT
DELAYED simply doesn't work with it under LOCK TABLES.

             LOCK TABLE+INSERT DELAYED

The problem was that the server could crash if the insert delayed
handler thread was killed due to a conflicting shared metadata
lock. This could happen because the metadata lock ticket was
added to the handler thread before it was properly initialized.

This patch moves the cloning of the acquired metadata lock ticket
until after the handler thread has been properly initialized.

The Item_cache_datetime::val_str function wasn't taking into account that time
could be negative. This led to failed assertion.
Now Item_cache_datetime::val_str correctly converts negative time values
from integer to string representation.

The problem was that deadlocks involving INSERT DELAYED were not detected.

The reason for this is that two threads are involved in INSERT DELAYED:
the connection thread and the handler thread. The connection thread would
wait while the handler thread acquired locks and opened the table.
In essence, this adds an edge to the wait-for-graph between the 
connection thread and the handler thread that the deadlock detector is
unaware of. Therefore many deadlocks involving INSERT DELAYED were not 
detected.

This patch fixes the problem by having the connection thread acquire the
metadata lock the table before starting the handler thread. This allows the
deadlock detector to detect any possible deadlocks resulting from trying to
acquire a metadata lock the table. If a metadata lock is successfully acquired,
the handler thread is started and given a copy of the ticket representing the
metadata lock. When the handler thread then tries to lock and open the table,
it will find that it already has the metadata lock and therefore not acquire
any new metadata locks.

Test cases added to delayed.test.

      
Problem: ENUM columns are sorted and distributed according to their
numeric value, but Field::hash() incorrectly passed string character set
(utf32) in combination with numeric value to the hash function,
which made assertion fail.

Fix: pass "binary" character set in combination with numeric value
to the hash function.

The include/mysqlhotcopy.inc had an error in the 'if' condition, so it failed

        don't set the MYSQL_HOTCOPY variable if no mysqlhotcopy was found.

Recording fixed correct results results.

my_thread_global_end() now sets mysql_thread_basic_global_init_done= 0
to ensure destroyed mutexes are not reused.

I verified that clearing this flag will not result in the redundant allocation
of other resources allocated by my_thread_global_init() and
my_thread_basic_global_init().

The ALTER PARTITION and SELECT seemed to be deadlocked
when having innodb_thread_concurrency = 1.

Problem was that there was unreleased latches
in the ALTER PARTITION thread which was needed
by the SELECT thread to be able to continue.

Solution was to release the latches by commit 
before requesting upgrade to exclusive MDL lock.

Updated according to reviewers comments (3).

            attempt to install a plugin twice

Server crashes when [UN]INSTALL PLUGIN fails (returns an
error) and general log is disabled and there are audit
plugins interested in MYSQL_AUDIT_GENERAL_CLASS. 

When audit event is triggered, audit subsystem acquires interested
plugins by walking through plugin list. Evidently plugin list
iterator protects plugin list by acquiring LOCK_plugin, see
plugin_foreach_with_mask().

On the other hand [UN]INSTALL PLUGIN is acquiring LOCK_plugin
rather for a long time.

When audit event is triggered during [UN]INSTALL PLUGIN, plugin
list iterator acquires the same lock (within the same thread)
second time.

Repeatable only with general_log disabled, because general_log
triggers MYSQL_AUDIT_GENERAL_LOG event, which acquires audit
plugins before [UN]INSTALL PLUGIN acquired LOCK_plugin.

With this fix we pre-acquire audit plugins for events that
may potentially occur during [UN]INSTALL PLUGIN.

This hack should be removed when LOCK_plugin is fixed so it
protects only what it supposed to protect.

No test case for this fix - we do not have facility to test
audit plugins yet.

Problems:
- dot character was always printed as decimal point
  instead of localized decimal point for short
  numbers without thousands
- Item_func_format::val_str always returned values in ASCII
format,
  regargless of @@character_set_connection, which in case of utf32
  led to crash in debug build, or to incorrect values in release build.

Fix:
- Adding a piece of code to replace dot character to
  localized decimal point in short numbers.
- Changing parent class for Item_func_format to
  Item_str_ascii_func, because its val_str() implementation is heavily ASCII oriented.

was caused by change of thread state name from "Waiting for
table" to "Waiting for table metadata lock" (which has 
happened as part of fix for bug 52044 "FLUSH TABLES WITH READ
LOCK and FLUSH TABLES <list> WITH READ LOCK are incompati").

           on CREATE TABLE .. SELECT I_S.PART

This assert was triggered if an InnoDB table was created using
CREATE TABLE ... AS SELECT where the query used an I_S table, and
a view existed in the database. It would also be triggered for
any statement changing an InnoDB table (e.g. INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE)
which had a subquery referencing an I_S table.

The assert was triggered if open_normal_and_derived_tables() failed
and a statement transaction had been started. This will usually not
happen as tables are opened before a statement transaction is started.
However, e.g. CREATE TABLE ... AS SELECT starts a transaction in order
to insert tuples into the new table. And if the subquery references
an I_S table, all current tables and views can be opened in order to
fill the I_S table on the fly. If a view is discovered, open will fail
as it is instructed to open tables only (OPEN_TABLE_ONLY). This would
cause the assert to be triggered.

The assert was added in the patch for Bug#52044 and was therefore
not in any released versions of the server.

This patch fixes the problem by adjusting the assert to take into
consideration the possibility of tables being opened as part of
an I_S query. This is similar to what is already done for 
close_tables_for_reopen().

Test case added to information_schema_inno.test.

temp table
            
This patch introduces two key changes in the replication's behavior.
            
Firstly, it reverts part of BUG#51894 which puts any update to temporary tables
into the trx-cache. Now, updates to temporary tables are handled according to
the type of their engines as a regular table.
            
Secondly, an unsafe mixed statement, (i.e. a statement that access transactional
table as well non-transactional or temporary table, and writes to any of them),
are written into the trx-cache in order to minimize errors in the execution when
the statement logging format is in use.
            
Such changes has a direct impact on which statements are classified as unsafe
statements and thus part of BUG#53259 is reverted.

           check_if_table_exists()

This assert was triggered when the server tried to load plugins
while running in embedded server mode. In embedded server mode,
check_if_table_exists() was used to check if mysql.plugin existed
so that ER_NO_SUCH_TABLE could be silently ignored.
The problem was that this check was done without acquiring a metadata
lock on mysql.plugin first. This triggered the assert.

This patch fixes the problem by removing the call to
check_if_table_exists() from plugin_load(). Instead an error handler
which traps ER_NO_SUCH_TABLE is installed before trying to open
mysql.plugin when running in embedded server mode.

No test coverage added since this assert was triggered by 
existing tests running in embedded server mode.
