This is a 5.1 version of the patch.
Problem:
'log' and 'log_slow_queries' were "fixed" variables, i.e. they showed up
in SHOW VARIABLES, but could not be used in expressions like
"select @@log". Also, using them in the SET statement produced an
incorrect "unknown system variable" error.
Solution:
Since as of MySQL 5.1.12 one can enable or disable the general query log
or the slow query log at runtime by changing values of
general_log/slow_query_log, make 'log' and 'log_slow_queries" to be
synonyms for 'general_log' and 'slow_query_log' respectively. This
makes expressions using the '@@var' syntax backward compatible with
5.0 and SHOW VARIABLES output to be consistent with the SET statement.

This is a 5.0 version of the patch, it will be null-merged to 5.1

"select @@log". Also, using them in the SET statement produced an

Solution:
Make 'log' and 'log_slow_queries' read-only dynamic variables to make
them available for use in expressions, and produce a correct error
about the variable being read-only when used in the SET statement.
Fix problem with AttributeHeader::init() seen with gcc 4.2.1.
Using the same object as both Uint32 and class AttributeHeader violates

all space column names.
The parser has been modified to check VIEW column names
with the check_column_name function and to report an error
on empty and all space column names (same as for TABLE
column names).
The root cause of this defect is that a call to my_error() is using a
'LEX_STRING' parameter instead of a 'char*'
This patch fixes the failing calls to my_error(), as well as similar calls
found during investigation.
This is a compiling bug (see the instrumentation in the bug report), no test cases provided.
ucs2 doesn't provide required by fulltext ctype array. Crash
happens because fulltext attempts to use unitialized ctype
array.
Fixed by converting ucs2 fields to compatible utf8 analogue.

The optimizer pre-calculates the MIN/MAX values for queries like
SELECT MIN(kp_k) WHERE kp_1 = const AND ... AND kp_k-1 = const
when there is a key over kp_1...kp_k
In doing so it was not checking correctly nullability and
there was a superfluous assert().
Fixed by making sure that the field can be null before checking and
taking out the wrong assert().
.
Introduced a correct check for nullability
The MIN(field) can return NULL when all the row values in the group
are NULL-able or if there were no rows.
Fixed the assertion to reflect the case when there are no rows.
causes the Server to crash.
Accessing partitioned table with an apostrophe in partition options
like DATA DIRECTORY, INDEX DIRECTORY or COMMENT causes server crash.
Partition options were saved in .frm file without escaping.
When accessing such table it is not possible to properly restore
partition information.
Crashed because there was no check for partition info parser failure.
Fixed by escaping quoted text in the partition info when writing it to
the frm-file and added a check that it was able to parse the partition
info before using it
NOTE: If the comment is written by an earlier version of the server,
the corrupted frm-file is not fixed, but left corrupted, you have to
manually drop the table and recreate it.
Inserting Data.
The problem was that under some circumstances Field class was not
properly initialized before calling create_length_to_internal_length()
function, which led to assert failure.
The fix is to do the proper initialization.
The user-visible problem was that under some circumstances
CREATE TABLE ... SELECT statement crashed the server or led
to wrong error message (wrong results).
The problem is that when copying the supplied username and
database, no bounds checking is performed on the fixed-length
buffer. A sufficiently large (> 512) user string can easily
cause stack corruption. Since this API can be used from PHP
and other programs, this is a serious problem.
The solution is to increase the buffer size to the accepted
size in similar functions and perform bounds checking when
copying the username and database.
