In MySQL 5.7, it was noticed that files are not portable between
big-endian and little-endian processor architectures
(such as SPARC and x86), because the original implementation of
innodb_checksum_algorithm=crc32 was not byte order agnostic.
A byte order agnostic implementation of innodb_checksum_algorithm=crc32
was only added to MySQL 5.7, not backported to 5.6. Consequently,
MariaDB Server versions 10.0 and 10.1 only contain the CRC-32C
implementation that works incorrectly on big-endian architectures,
and MariaDB Server 10.2.2 got the byte-order agnostic CRC-32C
implementation from MySQL 5.7.
MySQL 5.7 introduced a "legacy crc32" variant that is functionally
equivalent to the big-endian version of the original crc32 implementation.
Thanks to this variant, old data files can be transferred from big-endian
systems to newer versions.
Introducing new variants of checksum algorithms (without introducing
new names for them, or something on the pages themselves to identify
the algorithm) generally is a bad idea, because each checksum algorithm
is like a lottery ticket. The more algorithms you try, the more likely
it will be for the checksum to match on a corrupted page.
So, essentially MySQL 5.7 weakened innodb_checksum_algorithm=crc32,
and MariaDB 10.2.2 inherited this weakening.
We introduce a build option that together with MDEV-17957
makes innodb_checksum_algorithm=strict_crc32 strict again
by only allowing one variant of the checksum to match.
WITH_INNODB_BUG_ENDIAN_CRC32: A new cmake option for enabling the
bug-compatible "legacy crc32" checksum. This is only enabled on
big-endian systems by default, to facilitate an upgrade from
MariaDB 10.0 or 10.1. Checked by #ifdef INNODB_BUG_ENDIAN_CRC32.
ut_crc32_byte_by_byte: Remove (unused function).
legacy_big_endian_checksum: Remove. This variable seems to have
unnecessarily complicated the logic. When the weakening is enabled,
we must always fall back to the buggy checksum.
buf_page_check_crc32(): A helper function to compute one or
two CRC-32C variants.

MDEV-10547: Test multi_update_innodb fails with InnoDB 5.7
The failure happened because 5.7 has changed the signature of
the bool handler::primary_key_is_clustered() const
virtual function ("const" was added). InnoDB was using the old
signature which caused the function not to be used.
MDEV-10550: Parallel replication lock waits/deadlock handling does not work with InnoDB 5.7
Fixed mutexing problem on lock_trx_handle_wait. Note that
rpl_parallel and rpl_optimistic_parallel tests still
fail.
MDEV-10156 : Group commit tests fail on 10.2 InnoDB (branch bb-10.2-jan)
Reason: incorrect merge
MDEV-10550: Parallel replication can't sync with master in InnoDB 5.7 (branch bb-10.2-jan)
Reason: incorrect merge
- Make accelerated checksum available to InnoDB and XtraDB.
- Fall back to slice-by-eight if not available. The mode used is printed on startup.
- Will only build on POWER systems at the moment until CMakeLists are modified
to only add the crc32_power8/ files when building on POWER.
