trx_get_trx_by_xid(): Invalidate trx->xid after a successful lookup,
so that subsequent callers will not find the same transaction.

The only callers of trx_get_trx_by_xid() will be invoking
innobase_commit_low() or innobase_rollback_trx(), and those code paths
should not depend on trx->xid.

that refers to trx_sys_set_ibuf_format().
Change buffer format tagging was never implemented.

over the mutex list and free each mutex. When UNIV_MEM_DEBUG is defined, we
need skip the hash mutex.

It is a minor bug affecting only UNIV_SYNC_DEBUG builds, found by Michael.

due to potentially uninitialized variable

row_upd_changes_ord_field_binary(): Initialize dfield_len to suppress the
warning. The compiler cannot know that row_ext_lookup() does initialize
dfield_len for us, as it is defined in a different module.

mlog_parse_string(): Enclose the comparison in UNIV_UNLIKELY,
not the comparand.

row_vers_build_for_semi_consistent_read(): Dereference version_trx before
releasing kernel_mutex, but not thereafter.

buf_block_alloc(): ulint zip_size is always 0.
buf_LRU_get_free_block(): ulint zip_size is always 0.
buf_LRU_free_block(): ibool* buf_pool_mutex_released is always NULL.

Remove these parameters.

buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Simplify the initialization of block->page.zip
and release buf_pool_mutex() earlier.

There are two main pain points, one is lookup by thread id for sync_thread_t
and the other is to do a lookup  by latch or level in sync_thread_t::levels.
Changed the sync_thread_t::levels lookup and reserve operation from O(N)
to O(1).

Pure lookups are still O(N), the main change for pure lookup is that we no
longer need to search up to SYNC_THREAD_N_LEVELS but only up to the number
of slots actually ever used ie. it is possible some were used in the past
but are now on the free list. If the in_use count drops to 0 we reset the
free list too.

Overload the sync_level_t::level field to track the free list. If
sync_thread_t::latch == NULL then sync_thread_t::level contains the ordinal
value of the previous free entry.

When dates are represented internally as strings, i.e. when a string constant
is compared to a date value, both values are converted to long integers,
ostensibly for fast comparisons. DATE typed integer values are converted to
DATETIME by multiplying by 1,000,000 (each digit pair representing hour,
minute and second, respectively). But the mechanism did not distuinguish
cached INTEGER values, already in correct format, from newly converted
strings.

Fixed by marking the INTEGER cache as being of DATETIME format.

            
rpl_packet got a timeout failure sporadically on PB when stopping
slave. The real reason of this bug is that STOP SLAVE stopped
IO thread first and then stopped SQL thread. It was
possible that IO thread stopped after replicating part of a
transaction which SQL thread was executing. SQL thread would
be hung if the transaction could not be rolled back safely.
            
After this patch, STOP SLAVE will stop SQL thread first and then stop IO
thread, which guarantees that IO thread will fetch the reset of the
events of the transaction that SQL thread is executing, so that SQL
thread can finish the transaction if it cannot be rolled back safely.

Fix for bug#45740 introduced test case using SHOW TABLE STATUS against a Memory table using latin1 character in table name.
The test failed on Windows and FreeBSD due to a difference in the value for Avg_row_length.
The average row length normally depends on the values for data length and row count. According to the 5.5 manual data length is approximate with Memory tables.
With MyISAM and InnoDB the Avg_row_length is the same on Windows and Solaris.
The solution implemented by this patch is to mask out the value for Avg_row_length, as it may vary when using Memory tables.
