PROBLEM
Create time is calculated as last status change time of .frm file.
The first problem was that innodb was passing file name as
"table_name#po#p0.frm" to the stat() call which calculates the create time.
Since there is no frm file with this name create_time will be stored as NULL.
The second problem is ha_partition::info() updates stats for create time
when HA_STATUS_CONST flag was set ,where as innodb calculates this statistic
when HA_STATUS_TIME is set,which causes create_time to be set as NULL.
Fix
Pass proper .frm name to stat() call and calculate create time when
HA_STATUS_CONST flag is set.

Bug# 19699237: UNINITIALIZED VARIABLE IN
ITEM_FIELD::STR_RESULT LEADS TO INCORRECT
BEHAVIOR
ISSUE:
------
When the following conditions are satisfied in a query, a
server crash occurs:
a) Two rows are compared using a NULL-safe equal-to operator.
b) Each of these rows belong to different charsets.
SOLUTION:
---------
When one charset is converted to another for comparision,
the constructor of "Item_func_conv_charset" is called.
This will attempt to use the Item_cache if the string is a
constant. This check succeeds because the "used_table_map"
of the Item_cache class is never set to the correct value.
Since it is mistakenly assumed to be a constant, it tries
to fetch the relevant null value related fields which are
yet to be initialized. This results in valgrind issues
and wrong results.
The fix is to update the "used_table_map" of "Item_cache".
This will allow "Item_func_conv_charset" to realise that
this is not a constant.
Problem: UDF doesn't handle the arguments properly when they
are of string type due to a misplaced break.
The length of arguments is also not set properly
when the argument is NULL.
Solution: Fixed the code by putting the break at right place
and setting the argument length to zero when the
argument is NULL.
TO USE A SECOND WATCH PAGE PER INSTANCE
Description:
BUF_POOL_WATCH_SIZE is also initialized to number of purge threads.
so BUF_POOL_WATCH_SIZE will never be lesser than number of purge threads.
From the code, there is no scope for purge thread to skip buf_pool_watch_unset.
So there can be at most one buffer pool watch active per purge thread.
In other words, there is no chance for purge thread instance to hold a watch
when setting another watch.
Solution:
Adding code comments to clarify the issue.

Problem:
While getting the temp table field for a REF_ITEM

Solution:
Do not use real_item to get the temp table field.

MYISAM TABLE CAUSES THE SERVER TO CRASH
Issue:
-----
During index maintanence, R-tree node might need a split.
In some cases the square of mbr could be calculated to
infinite (as in this case) or to NaN. This is currently
not handled. This is specific to MyISAM.
SOLUTION:
---------
If the calculated value in "mbr_join_square" is infinite or
NaN, set it to max double value.
Initialization of output parameters of "pick_seeds" is
required if calculation is infinite (or negative infinite).

Bug19770858: MYSQLD CAN BE DRIVEN TO OOM WITH TWO SIMPLE SESSION VARS
The problem was that the maximum value of the transaction_prealloc_size
session system variable was ULONG_MAX which meant that it was possible
to cause the server to allocate excessive amounts of memory.
This patch fixes the problem by reducing the maxmimum value of
transaction_prealloc_size and transaction_alloc_block_size down
to 128K.
Note that transactions will still be able to allocate more than
128K if needed, this patch just reduces the amount that can be
preallocated - as well as the maximum size of the incremental
allocation blocks.

BINLOGGED INCORRECTLY - BREAKS A SLAVE
Submitted a incomplete patch with my previous push,
re submitting the extra changes the required to make
the patch complete.
Analysis:
In row based replication, Master does not send temp table information
to Slave. If there are any DDLs that involves in regular table that needs
to be sent to Slave and a temp tables (which will not be available at Slave),
the Master rewrites the query replacing temp table with it's defintion.
Eg: create table regular_table like temptable.
In rewrite logic, server is ignoring the database of regular table
which can cause problems mentioned in this bug.
Fix: dont ignore database information (if available) while
rewriting the query
RESERVATION AND SIGNAL COUNT
Problem:
Reservation and Signal count value shows negative value for show engine
innodb statement.
Solution:
This is happening due to counter overflow error. Reservation and Signal
count values are defined as unsigned long but these variables are converted to
long while printing it. Change Reservation and Signal count values as unsigned
long datatype while printing it.

3RD EXECUTION OF PS
Problem:
When order by is by a column number for a group concat function
which has an outer reference, server fails in case of prepared
statements on the third execution
Analysis:
When a group concat function has order by, the fields in order by
are not resolved until execution if the input is a column number.
During execution they get resolved after the temp table gets created.
As a result they will be pointing to temp table fields which are
runtime created objects. This results in dangling pointers leading
to server failure.
Solution:
Reset the pointers for the order by fields to point to the original
arguments after execution as they are invalid.
Done in Item_func_group_concat::cleanup.

There can be up to MERGEBUFF2 number of sorted merge chunks,
We need enough buffer space for at least one record from
each merge chunks. If estimates are wrong(very low) and we
allocate buffer space for less than MERGEBUFF2, then we will

In versions 5.5 and 5.6 the MySQL version is not logged until
server is started and ready to accept connections. Exiting
server before this point will not have server version information

We pre-allocate the ref_pointer_array before we resolve outer
references. This means that in some cases the
ref_pointer_array may not be large enough to hold all
references created. One such case is aggregate functions in
having clause of a subquery which may add items to select list
of outer query. So it is necessary to consider
select_n_having_items for subqueries while allocating
ref_pointer_array else we will get buffer overflow.
SOLUTION:
---------
Allocate a larger ref_pointer_array by aggregating
select_n_having_items for subqueries.

CRASHES WITH AUTO_INCREMENT COLUMN
Description:- Creating a federated table with AUTO_INCREMENT
column using LIKE clause results in a server crash.
Analysis:- Creating a federated table with AUTO_INCREMENT
column using LIKE clause results in a federated server
crash due to the uninitialized connection structure(mysql).
Also due to unassigned connection string for the remote
server, at the time of preparation of "create_info"
structure, the creation of any federated table using LIKE
clause fails with an error, "ERROR 1 (HY000): server name:
'' doesn't exist!". This bug is not only with
AUTO_INCREMENT but in all creations of federated tables with
LIKE clause.
Fix :- In ha_federated::info(), "mysql->insert_id" assigned
to "stats.auto_increment_value" only when there is an
active connection. This fixes the crash issue. For creating
the federated table with LIKE clause, connection string is
assigned at the time of preparation of "create_info"
structure.
The problem was that the maximum value of the transaction_prealloc_size
session system variable was ULONG_MAX which meant that it was possible
to cause the server to allocate excessive amounts of memory.
This patch fixes the problem by reducing the maxmimum value of
transaction_prealloc_size and transaction_alloc_block_size down
to 128K.
Note that transactions will still be able to allocate more than
128K if needed, this patch just reduces the amount that can be
preallocated - as well as the maximum size of the incremental
allocation blocks.
Problem Description And Fix:
Inserting a fudged record in mysql.proc with the dbname
column value as test and the name column as empty, will
cause a crash in mysqld when we run the command DROP
DATABASE test.
During DROP DATABASE test, mysql_rm_db subsequently
calls lock_db_routines. In the routine we fetch the
field 'name' from mysql.proc by calling the underlying
storage engine API in lock_db_routines. This cause NULL
value as the field column of mysql.proc and subsequent
dereference MDL_request::init leads to crash.
Modifying mysql.proc using SQL command by user is not
supported, but in principle, there is a possibility
of mysql.proc getting corrupted which can also lead
to empty fields and arbitary values. The patch fixes
the crash by checking NULL and propagating the appopriate
error code to the user.

No changes in behavior.
special character sets like utf16, utf32, ucs2.
Analysis: MySQL server does not support few special character sets like
utf16,utf32 and ucs2 as "client's character set"(eg: utf16,utf32, ucs2).
It is known limitation listed in the documentation
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/charset-connection.html.
The default value for default-character-set parameter is 'auto'
which means that if the server's character set is not supported,
then server automatically changes client's character set to
predefined character-set which is 'latin1' in the current code.
Eg:
$ ./mysql -uroot -S$SOCKET_FILE --default-character-set=utf16
ERROR 1231 (42000): Variable 'character_set_client' can't be set to the value of 'utf16'
$ ./mysql -uroot -S$SOCKET_FILE will be successfully connected to
server with 'latin1' as default client side character set.
When IO thread is trying to connect to Master, it sets server's character
set as client's character set. When Slave server is started with these
special character sets, IO thread (which is like a connection to Master)
fails because of the above said limitation.
Fix: Now even IO thread also behaves the same as a regular client behaves.
i.e., If server's character set is not supported as client's character set,
then set default's client character set(latin1) as client's character set.
