Post-push fixes:

  - fixed platform dependent result files
  - appeasing valgrind warnings:
   
    Fault injection was also uncovering a previously existing 
    potential mem leaks. For BUG#46166 testing purposes, fixed 
    by forcing handling the leak when injecting faults.

47b774b21c BUG#58456 - Assertion 0 in QUICK_INDEX_MERGE_SELECT::need_sorted_output
in opt_range.h

In this bug, there are two alternative access plans: 
 * Index merge range access
 * Const ref access

best_access_path() decided that the ref access was preferrable, 
but make_join_select() still decided to point 
SQL_SELECT::quick to the index merge because the table had 
type==JT_CONST which was not handled. 

At the same time the table's ref.key still referred to the 
index the ref access would use indicating that ref access 
should be used. In this state, different parts of the 
optimizer code have different perceptions of which access path
is in use (ref or range).

test_if_skip_sort_order() was called to check if the ref access
needed ordering, but test_if_skip_sort_order() got confused and
requested the index merge to return records in sorted order. 
Index merge cannot do this, and fired an ASSERT.

The fix is to take join_tab->type==JT_CONST into concideration
when make_join_select() decides whether or not to use the 
range access method.

8b1571d803 Bug #58730 Assertion failed: table->key_read == 0 in close_thread_table,
temptable views

The TABLE::key_read field indicates if the optimizer has found that row
retrieval only should access the index tree. The triggered assert
inside close_thread_table() checks that this field has been reset when
the table is about to be closed.

During normal execution, these fields are reset right before tables are
closed at the end of mysql_execute_command(). But in the case of errors,
tables are closed earlier. The patch for Bug#52044 refactored the open
tables code so that close_thread_tables() is called immediately if
opening of tables fails. At this point in the execution, it could
happend that all TABLE::key_read fields had not been properly reset,
therefore triggering the assert.

The problematic statement in this case was EXPLAIN where the query
accessed two derived tables and where the first derived table was
processed successfully while the second derived table was not.
Since it was an EXPLAIN, TABLE::key_read fields were not reset after
successful derived table processing since the state needs to be 
accessible afterwards. When processing of the second derived table
failed, it's corresponding SELECT_LEX_UNIT was cleaned, which caused
it's TABLE::key_read fields to be reset. Since processing failed,
the error path of open_and_lock_tables() was entered and
close_thread_tables() was called. The assert was then triggered due
to the TABLE::key_read fields set during processing of the first
derived table.

This patch fixes the problem by adding a new derived table processor,
mysql_derived_cleanup() that is called after mysql_derived_filling().
It causes cleanup of all SELECT_LEX_UNITs to be called, resetting
all relevant TABLE::key_read fields.

Test case added to derived.test.

4e2cf44180 Bug#58136: Crash in vio_close at concurrent disconnect and KILL
The problem is a race between a session closing its vio
(i.e. after a COM_QUIT) at the same time it is being killed by
another thread. This could trigger a assertion in vio_close()
as the two threads could end up closing the same vio, at the
same time. This could happen due to the implementation of
SIGNAL_WITH_VIO_CLOSE, which closes the vio of the thread
being killed.

The solution is to serialize the close of the Vio under
LOCK_thd_data, which protects THD data.

No regression test is added as this is essentially a debug
issue and the test case would be quite convoluted as we would
need to synchronize a session that is being killed -- which
is a bit difficult since debug sync points code does not
synchronize killed sessions.

sql/mysqld.cc:
  Drop lock parameter from close_connection, its not necessary
  any more. The newly introduced THD::disconnect method will take
  care of locking.
sql/mysqld.h:
  Change prototype, add a default parameter for the error code.
sql/sql_class.cc:
  In case SIGNAL_WITH_VIO_CLOSE is defined, the active vio is
  closed and cleared. Subsequent calls will only close the vio
  owned by the session.

String object which is used as result container of the item
has uninitialized 'str_charset' field. This object
might be used later to preform some internal operations
and str_charset field is involved in these operations.
It leads to crash.

fcb83cbf15 Fixed following problems:
--Bug#52157 various crashes and assertions with multi-table update, stored function
--Bug#54475 improper error handling causes cascading crashing failures in innodb/ndb
--Bug#57703 create view cause Assertion failed: 0, file .\item_subselect.cc, line 846
--Bug#57352 valgrind warnings when creating view
--Recently discovered problem when a nested materialized derived table is used
  before being populated and it leads to incorrect result

We have several modes when we should disable subquery evaluation.
The reasons for disabling are different. It could be
uselessness of the evaluation as in case of 'CREATE VIEW'
or 'PREPARE stmt', or we should disable subquery evaluation
if tables are not locked yet as it happens in bug#54475, or
too early evaluation of subqueries can lead to wrong result
as it happened in Bug#19077.
Main problem is that if subquery items are treated as const
they are evaluated in ::fix_fields(), ::fix_length_and_dec()
of the parental items as a lot of these methods have
Item::val_...() calls inside.
We have to make subqueries non-const to prevent unnecessary
subquery evaluation. At the moment we have different methods
for this. Here is a list of these modes:

1. PREPARE stmt;
We use UNCACHEABLE_PREPARE flag.
It is set during parsing in sql_parse.cc, mysql_new_select() for
each SELECT_LEX object and cleared at the end of PREPARE in
sql_prepare.cc, init_stmt_after_parse(). If this flag is set
subquery becomes non-const and evaluation does not happen.

2. CREATE|ALTER VIEW, SHOW CREATE VIEW, I_S tables which
   process FRM files
We use LEX::view_prepare_mode field. We set it before
view preparation and check this flag in
::fix_fields(), ::fix_length_and_dec().
Some bugs are fixed using this approach,
some are not(Bug#57352, Bug#57703). The problem here is
that we have a lot of ::fix_fields(), ::fix_length_and_dec()
where we use Item::val_...() calls for const items.

3. Derived tables with subquery = wrong result(Bug19077)
The reason of this bug is too early subquery evaluation.
It was fixed by adding Item::with_subselect field
The check of this field in appropriate places prevents
const item evaluation if the item have subquery.
The fix for Bug19077 fixes only the problem with
convert_constant_item() function and does not cover
other places(::fix_fields(), ::fix_length_and_dec() again)
where subqueries could be evaluated.

Example:
CREATE TABLE t1 (i INT, j BIGINT);
INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (1, 2), (2, 2), (3, 2);
SELECT * FROM (SELECT MIN(i) FROM t1
WHERE j = SUBSTRING('12', (SELECT * FROM (SELECT MIN(j) FROM t1) t2))) t3;
DROP TABLE t1;

4. Derived tables with subquery where subquery
   is evaluated before table locking(Bug#54475, Bug#52157)

Suggested solution is following:

-Introduce new field LEX::context_analysis_only with the following
 possible flags:
 #define CONTEXT_ANALYSIS_ONLY_PREPARE 1
 #define CONTEXT_ANALYSIS_ONLY_VIEW    2
 #define CONTEXT_ANALYSIS_ONLY_DERIVED 4
-Set/clean these flags when we perform
 context analysis operation
-Item_subselect::const_item() returns
 result depending on LEX::context_analysis_only.
 If context_analysis_only is set then we return
 FALSE that means that subquery is non-const.
 As all subquery types are wrapped by Item_subselect
 it allow as to make subquery non-const when
 it's necessary.

Additionally was fixed trouble when DROP TABLE try delete
all files belong to table being dropped at the same time
when REPAIR TABLE statement has just deleted .TMD file.

No regression test added because this would require adding a
sync point to mysys/my_redel.c. Since this bug is not present in
5.5+, adding test coverage was considered unnecessary.
The patch has been verified using RQG testing.


sql/sql_db.cc:
  mysql_rm_known_files() modified: ignore possible ENOENT error
  when trying delete all table's files. Such aggressive 
  algorithm permits skip already deleted (in another thread)
  files.
  
  Installation of Drop_table_error_handler as internal error handler
  moved from mysql_rm_db() to mysql_rm_knowns_files() near to place
  where source of possible errors (call to mysql_rm_table_part2) located.
storage/myisam/mi_check.c:
  mi_repair() was modified: set param->retry_repair= 0
  in order to don't call following failover procedure
  in ha_myisam::repair().

1008827107 Bug #58511 mysqltest doesn't always run statements in ps mode
mysqltest checks if the stmt is one that should be run in ps mode,
  but regexp doesn't match if preceeded by /* */ comment.
Fix: match function will jump over /*..*/ if found at start
