OPTIMIZE TABLE with myisam_repair_threads > 1 performs a non-quick
parallel repair. This means that it does not only rebuild all
indexes, but also the data file.
Non-quick parallel repair works so that there is one thread per
index. The first of the threads rebuilds also the new data file.
The problem was that all threads shared the read io cache on the
old data file. If there were holes (deleted records) in the table,
the first thread skipped them, writing only contiguous, non-deleted
records to the new data file. Then it built the new index so that
its entries pointed to the correct record positions. But the other
threads didn't know the new record positions, but put the positions
from the old data file into the index.
The new design is so that there is a shared io cache which is filled
by the first thread (the data file writer) with the new contiguous
records and read by the other threads. Now they know the new record
positions.
Another problem was that for the parallel repair of compressed
tables a common bit_buff and rec_buff was used. I changed it so
that thread specific buffers are used for parallel repair.
A similar problem existed for checksum calculation. I made this
multi-thread safe too.
- bug #11655 "Wrong time is returning from nested selects - maximum time exists
- input and output TIME values were not validated properly in several conversion functions
- bug #20927 "sec_to_time treats big unsigned as signed"
- integer overflows were not checked in several functions. As a result, input values like 2^32 or 3600*2^32 were treated as 0
- BIGINT UNSIGNED values were treated as SIGNED in several functions
- in cases where both input string truncation and out-of-range TIME value occur, only 'truncated incorrect time value' warning was produced

Socket timeouts in client library were used only on Windows.
Additionally, in 4.0 write operations erroneously set read timeout.
The solution is to use socket timeouts in client library on all
systems were they are supported, and to differentiate between read
and write timeouts.
No test case is provided because it is impossible to simulate network
failure in current test suite.
InterfaceError on connect
Removed the bool flag from the st_mysql_options struct, since it adds
another word in size to the memory size and shifts member memory locations
down, both of which break binary-interface compatibility.
Instead, use a flag, 2**30, in the client_options bit-field to represent
that the client should check the SSL certificate of the server.
These variables must be defined for Netware, or it fails
to recognize hard paths starting from the device.

There were two problems: RESET QUERY CACHE took a long time to complete
and other threads were blocked during this time.
The patch does three things:
1 fixes a bug with improper use of test-lock-test_again technique.
AKA Double-Checked Locking is applicable here only in few places.
2 Somewhat improves performance of RESET QUERY CACHE.
Do my_hash_reset() instead of deleting elements one by one. Note
however that the slowdown also happens when inserting into sorted
list of free blocks, should be rewritten using balanced tree.
3 Makes RESET QUERY CACHE non-blocking.
The patch adjusts the locking protocol of the query cache in the
following way: it introduces a flag flush_in_progress, which is
set when Query_cache::flush_cache() is in progress. This call
sets the flag on enter, and then releases the lock. Every other
call is able to acquire the lock, but does nothing if
flush_in_progress is set (as if the query cache is disabled).
The only exception is the concurrent calls to
Query_cache::flush_cache(), that are blocked until the flush is
over. When leaving Query_cache::flush_cache(), the lock is
acquired and the flag is reset, and one thread waiting on
Query_cache::flush_cache() (if any) is notified that it may
proceed.
Fix when __attribute__() is stubbed out, add ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT() for specifying
__attribute__((format(...))) safely, make more use of the format attribute,
and fix some of the warnings that this turns up (plus a bonus unrelated one).
