variable
The User_var_log_event was not serializing the unsigned
flag. This would cause the slave to always assume signed values.
We fix this by extending the User_var_log_event to also contain
information on the unsigned_flag, meaning that it gets into the
binlog as well, therefore the slave will get this information as
well. Events without information on unsigned flag (old events)
are treated as they were before (always signed: unsigned_flag=
FALSE).
The information on the unsigned_flag, is shipped in an extra byte
appended to the end of the User_var_log_event and added by this
patch. This extra byte holds values for general purpose
User_var_log_event flags which are now packed in the binlog as
well. One of these flags contains information about whether the
value is signed or unsigned (currently this extra byte is only
used to hold data on the unsigned flag, in the future we can use
it to pack extra flags if there is the need to).

BUG#49481: RBR: MyISAM and bit fields may cause slave to stop on delete:
cant find record
BUG#49482: RBR: Replication may break on deletes when MyISAM tables +
char field are used
When using MyISAM tables, despite the fact that the null bit is
set for some fields, their old value is still in the row. This
can cause the comparison of records to fail when the slave is
doing an index or range scan.
We fix this by avoiding memcmp for MyISAM tables when comparing
records. Additionally, when comparing field by field, we first
check if both fields are not null and if so, then we compare
them. If just one field is null we return failure immediately. If
both fields are null, we move on to the next field.

For tables with metadata sizes ranging from 251 to 255 the size
of the event data (m_data_size) was being improperly calculated
in the Table_map_log_event constructor. This was due to the fact
that when writing the Table_map_log_event body (in
Table_map_log_event::write_data_body) a call to net_store_length
is made for packing the m_field_metadata_size. It happens that
net_store_length uses *one* byte for storing
m_field_metadata_size when it is smaller than 251 but *three*
bytes when it exceeds that value. BUG 42749 had already
pinpointed and fix this fact, but the fix was incomplete, as the
calculation in the Table_map_log_event constructor considers 255
instead of 251 as the threshold to increment m_data_size by
three. Thence, the window for having a mismatch between the
number of bytes written and the number of bytes accounted in the
event length (m_data_size) was left open for
m_field_metadata_size values between 251 and 255.
We fix this by changing the condition in the Table_map_log_event
constructor to match the one in the net_store_length, ie,
increment one byte if m_field_metadata_size < 251 and three if it
exceeds this value.

"HANDLER statements within a transaction might lead to deadlocks".
Introduce a notion of a sentinel to MDL_context. A sentinel
is a ticket that separates all tickets in the context into two
groups: before and after it. Currently we can have (and need) only
one designated sentinel -- it separates all locks taken by LOCK
TABLE or HANDLER statement, which must survive COMMIT and ROLLBACK
and all other locks, which must be released at COMMIT or ROLLBACK.
The tricky part is maintaining the sentinel up to date when
someone release its corresponding ticket. This can happen, e.g.
if someone issues DROP TABLE under LOCK TABLES (generally,
see all calls to release_all_locks_for_name()).
MDL_context::release_ticket() is modified to take care of it.
******
A fix and a test case for Bug#46224 "HANDLER statements within a
transaction might lead to deadlocks".
An attempt to mix HANDLER SQL statements, which are transaction-
agnostic, an open multi-statement transaction,
and DDL against the involved tables (in a concurrent connection)
could lead to a deadlock. The deadlock would occur when
HANDLER OPEN or HANDLER READ would have to wait on a conflicting
metadata lock. If the connection that issued HANDLER statement
also had other metadata locks (say, acquired in scope of a
transaction), a classical deadlock situation of mutual wait
could occur.
Incompatible change: entering LOCK TABLES mode automatically
closes all open HANDLERs in the current connection.
Incompatible change: previously an attempt to wait on a lock
in a connection that has an open HANDLER statement could wait
indefinitely/deadlock. After this patch, an error ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK
is produced.
The idea of the fix is to merge thd->handler_mdl_context
with the main mdl_context of the connection, used for transactional
locks. This makes deadlock detection possible, since all waits
with locks are "visible" and available to analysis in a single
MDL context of the connection.
Since HANDLER locks and transactional locks have a different life
cycle -- HANDLERs are explicitly open and closed, and so
are HANDLER locks, explicitly acquired and released, whereas
transactional locks "accumulate" till the end of a transaction
and are released only with COMMIT, ROLLBACK and ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT,
a concept of "sentinel" was introduced to MDL_context.
All locks, HANDLER and others, reside in the same linked list.
However, a selected element of the list separates locks with
different life cycle. HANDLER locks always reside at the
end of the list, after the sentinel. Transactional locks are
prepended to the beginning of the list, before the sentinel.
Thus, ROLLBACK, COMMIT or ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT, only
release those locks that reside before the sentinel. HANDLER locks
must be released explicitly as part of HANDLER CLOSE statement,
or an implicit close.
The same approach with sentinel
is also employed for LOCK TABLES locks. Since HANDLER and LOCK TABLES
statement has never worked together, the implementation is
made simple and only maintains one sentinel, which is used either
for HANDLER locks, or for LOCK TABLES locks.

The class Field_bit_as_char stores the metadata for the
field incorrecly because bytes_in_rec and bit_len are set
to (field_length + 7 ) / 8 and 0 respectively, while
Field_bit has the correct values field_length / 8 and
field_length % 8.
Solved the problem by re-computing the values for the
metadata based on the field_length instead of using the
bytes_in_rec and bit_len variables.
To handle compatibility with old server, a table map
flag was added to indicate that the bit computation is
exact. If the flag is clear, the slave computes the
number of bytes required to store the bit field and
compares that instead, effectively allowing replication
*without conversion* from any field length that require
the same number of bytes to store.
'LOAD DATA CONCURRENT [LOCAL] INFILE ...' statment only is binlogged as
'LOAD DATA [LOCAL] INFILE ...' in SBR and MBR. As a result, if replication is on,
queries on slaves will be blocked by the replication SQL thread.
This patch write code to write 'CONCURRENT' into the log event if 'CONCURRENT' option
is in the original statement in SBR and MBR.
Row-based replication requires the types of columns on the
master and slave to be approximately the same (some safe
conversions between strings are allowed), but does not
allow safe conversions between fields of similar types such
as TINYINT and INT.
This patch implement type conversions between similar fields
on the master and slave.
The conversions are controlled using a new variable
SLAVE_TYPE_CONVERSIONS of type SET('ALL_LOSSY','ALL_NON_LOSSY').
Non-lossy conversions are any conversions that do not run the
risk of losing any information, while lossy conversions can
potentially truncate the value. The column definitions are
checked to decide if the conversion is acceptable.
If neither conversion is enabled, it is required that the
definitions of the columns are identical on master and slave.
Conversion is done by creating an internal conversion table,
unpacking the master data into it, and then copy the data to
the real table on the slave.

Bug#989: If DROP TABLE while there's an active transaction, wrong binlog order
WL#4284: Transactional DDL locking
Currently the MySQL server does not keep metadata locks on
schema objects for the duration of a transaction, thus failing
to guarantee the integrity of the schema objects being used
during the transaction and to protect then from concurrent
DDL operations. This also poses a problem for replication as
a DDL operation might be replicated even thought there are
active transactions using the object being modified.
The solution is to defer the release of metadata locks until
a active transaction is either committed or rolled back. This
prevents other statements from modifying the table for the
entire duration of the transaction. This provides commitment
ordering for guaranteeing serializability across multiple
transactions.
- Incompatible change:
If MySQL's metadata locking system encounters a lock conflict,
the usual schema is to use the try and back-off technique to
avoid deadlocks -- this schema consists in releasing all locks
and trying to acquire them all in one go.
But in a transactional context this algorithm can't be utilized
as its not possible to release locks acquired during the course
of the transaction without breaking the transaction commitments.
To avoid deadlocks in this case, the ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK will be
returned if a lock conflict is encountered during a transaction.
Let's consider an example:
A transaction has two statements that modify table t1, then table
t2, and then commits. The first statement of the transaction will
acquire a shared metadata lock on table t1, and it will be kept
utill COMMIT to ensure serializability.
At the moment when the second statement attempts to acquire a
shared metadata lock on t2, a concurrent ALTER or DROP statement
might have locked t2 exclusively. The prescription of the current
locking protocol is that the acquirer of the shared lock backs off
-- gives up all his current locks and retries. This implies that
the entire multi-statement transaction has to be rolled back.
- Incompatible change:
FLUSH commands such as FLUSH PRIVILEGES and FLUSH TABLES WITH READ
LOCK won't cause locked tables to be implicitly unlocked anymore.

Bug#989: If DROP TABLE while there's an active transaction, wrong binlog order
WL#4284: Transactional DDL locking
This is a prerequisite patch:
These changes are intended to split lock requests from granted
locks and to allow the memory and lifetime of granted locks to
be managed within the MDL subsystem. Furthermore, tickets can
now be shared and therefore are used to satisfy multiple lock
requests, but only shared locks can be recursive.
The problem is that the MDL subsystem morphs lock requests into
granted locks locks but does not manage the memory and lifetime
of lock requests, and hence, does not manage the memory of
granted locks either. This can be problematic because it puts the
burden of tracking references on the users of the subsystem and
it can't be easily done in transactional contexts where the locks
have to be kept around for the duration of a transaction.
Another issue is that recursive locks (when the context trying to
acquire a lock already holds a lock on the same object) requires
that each time the lock is granted, a unique lock request/granted
lock structure structure must be kept around until the lock is
released. This can lead to memory leaks in transactional contexts
as locks taken during the transaction should only be released at
the end of the transaction. This also leads to unnecessary wake
ups (broadcasts) in the MDL subsystem if the context still holds
a equivalent of the lock being released.
These issues are exacerbated due to the fact that WL#4284 low-level
design says that the implementation should "2) Store metadata locks
in transaction memory root, rather than statement memory root" but
this is not possible because a memory root, as implemented in mysys,
requires all objects allocated from it to be freed all at once.
This patch combines review input and significant code contributions
from Konstantin Osipov (kostja) and Dmitri Lenev (dlenev).

Make transaction management more modular through a new interface.
The overall objective of this change is to provide groundwork
for the design of transactional DDL locking by cleaning up the
transaction high level API to better distinguish operations implicit
and explicit, and single statement transaction from operations on
the normal transaction.
Having a a high-level interface for transaction management provides
a better base for implementing transactional concepts that are not
always tied to storage engines and also makes it easier to interect

"The great correction of names".
Renamed MDL_LOCK and MDL_LOCK_DATA classes to make usage of
these names in metadata locking subsystem consistent with
other parts of server (i.e. thr_lock.cc). Now we MDL_LOCK_DATA
corresponds to request for a lock and MDL_LOCK to the lock
itself. Adjusted code in MDL subsystem and other places
using these classes accordingly.
Did similar thing for GLOBAL_MDL_LOCK_DATA class and also
changed name of its members to correspond to names of
MDL_LOCK_DATA members.
Finally got rid of usage of one letter variables in MDL

Valgrind reports a conditional jump that depends on uninitialized
data while doing a LOAD DATA and for this test case only. This
test case, tests that loading data from a 4.0 or 4.1 instance
into a 5.1 instance is working. As such it handles old binary log
with a different set of events than currently 5.1 codebase uses.
See the following reference for details:
http://forge.mysql.com/wiki/MySQL_Internals_Binary_Log#LOAD_DATA_INFILE_Events
Problem:
The server is handling an Execute_load_log_event, which results
in reading a Load_log_event from the binary log and applying
it. When applying the Load_log_event, some variable setup is
done and then mysql_load is called. Late in mysql_load
execution, if not in row mode logging, the event is
binlogged write_execute_load_query_log_event.
In write_execute_load_query_log_event, thd->lex->local_file is
inspected. The problem is that it has not been set before in the
execution stack. This causes valgrind to report the warning.
Fix:
We fix this by initializing thd->lex->local_file to be the same
as the value of Load_log_event::local_fname, when lex_start is
called inside Load_log_event::do_apply_event.
