Bug#32082 : definition of VOID in my_global.h conflicts with Windows
SDK headers
VOID macro is now removed. Its usage is replaced with void cast.
In some cases, where cast does not make much sense (pthread_*, printf,
hash_delete, my_seek), cast is ommited.

Bug#35164: Large number of invalid pthread_attr_setschedparam calls
Bug#37536: Thread scheduling causes performance degradation at low thread count
Bug#12702: Long queries take 100% of CPU and freeze other applications under Windows
The problem is that although having threads with different priorities
yields marginal improvements [1] in some platforms [2], relying on some
statically defined priorities (QUERY_PRIOR and WAIT_PRIOR) to play well
(or to work at all) with different scheduling practices and disciplines
is, at best, a shot in the dark as the meaning of priority values may
change depending on the scheduling policy set for the process.
Another problem is that increasing priorities can hurt other concurrent
(running on the same hardware) applications (such as AMP) by causing
starvation problems as MySQL threads will successively preempt lower
priority processes. This can be evidenced by Bug#12702.
The solution is to not change the threads priorities and rely on the
system scheduler to perform its job. This also enables a system admin
to increase or decrease the scheduling priority of the MySQL process,
if intended.
Furthermore, the internal wrappers and code for changing the priority
of threads is being removed as they are now unused and ancient.
1. Due to unintentional side effects. On Solaris this could artificially
help benchmarks as calling the priority changing syscall millions of
times is more beneficial than the actual setting of the priority.
2. Where it actually works. It has never worked on Linux as the default
scheduling policy SCHED_OTHER only accepts the static priority 0.

Fix for a valgrind warning due to a jump on a uninitialized
variable. The problem was that the sql profile preparation
function wasn't being called for all possible code paths
of query execution. The solution is to move the preparation
to the dispatch_command function and to explicitly call the
profile preparation function on bootstrap.

message:
Fix for main.ssl and main.ssl_compress test case failures under pool-of-threads.
The problem is that the SSL layer has a read buffer and might read
more data than requested by the VIO layer. The SSL layer empties the
socket buffer which causes the socket to not be signaled for IO if
the client is waiting for a command which is sitting in the read
buffer.
The solution is to retrieve from the transport layer the number of
bytes waiting in the read buffer. The data in the read buffer needs
to be processed before waiting for more data.

Bug#36004 mysql_stmt_prepare resets the list of warnings
Although the manual says that "the list of messages is reset
for each new statement that uses a table", the list of messages
is being unconditionally reset for prepare commands.
The solution is to enforce that the prepare command will only
reset the message list if the statement being prepared uses
a table or a warning is pushed.

message:
Bug#17954 Threads_connected > Threads_created
The problem is that insert delayed threads are counted as connected
but not as created, leading to a Threads_connected value greater then
the Threads_created value.
The solution is to enforce the documented behavior that the
Threads_connected value shall be the number of currently
open connections and that Threads_created shall be the
number of threads created to handle connections.

message:
DROP TABLE under LOCK TABLES simultaneous to a FLUSH TABLES
WITH READ LOCK (global read lock) can lead to a deadlock.
The solution is to not wait for the global read lock if the
thread is holding any locked tables.
Related to bugs 23713 and 32395. This issues is being fixed
only on 6.0 because it depends on the fix for bug 25858 --
which was fixed only on 6.0.

message:
Bug#25858 Some DROP TABLE under LOCK TABLES can cause deadlocks
When a client (connection) holds a lock on a table and attempts to
drop (obtain a exclusive lock) on a second table that is already
held by a second client and the second client then attempts to
drop the table that is held by the first client, leads to a
circular wait deadlock. This scenario is very similar to trying to
drop (or rename) a table while holding read locks and are
correctly forbidden.
The solution is to allow a drop table operation to continue only
if the table being dropped is write (exclusively) locked, or if
the table is temporary, or if the client is not holding any
locks. Using this scheme prevents the creation of a circular
chain in which each client is waiting for one table that the
next client in the chain is holding.
This is incompatible change, as can be seen by number of tests
cases that needed to be fixed, but is consistent with respect to
behavior of the different scenarios in which the circular wait
might happen.

message:
Bug#28870 check that table locks are released/reset
The problem is that some mysql_lock_tables error paths are not
resetting the tables lock type back to TL_UNLOCK. If the lock
types are not reset properly, a table might be returned to the
table cache with wrong lock_type.
The proposed fix is to ensure that the tables lock type is always
properly reset when mysql_lock_tables fails. This is a
incompatible change with respect to the process state information.
