Removing unguarded read of slave_running field from inside
terminate_slave_threads(). This could cause premature exit in the event
that the slave thread already were shutting down, but isn't finished yet.
The fields slave_running, io_thd, and sql_thread are guarded by an
associated run_lock. A read of these fields were not guarded inside
terminate_slave_threads(), which caused an assertion to fire. The
assertion was removed, and the code reorganized slightly.
The functions ROW_COUNT/FOUND_ROWS are indeed not safe to be used in
statement based replication.
Added code to declare them as such and switch the statement they're in
to row based logging for mixed mode.
This is a performance bug, affecting in particular the bison generated code
for the parser.
Prior to this fix, the grammar used a long chain of reduces to parse an
expression, like:
bit_expr -> bit_term
bit_term -> bit_factor
bit_factor -> value_expr
value_expr -> term
term -> factor
etc
This chain of reduces cause the internal state automaton in the generated
parser to execute more state transitions and more reduces, so that the
generated MySQLParse() function would spend a lot of time looping to execute
all the grammar reductions.
With this patch, the grammar has been reorganized so that rules are more
"flat", limiting the depth of reduces needed to parse <expr>.
Tests have been written to enforce that relative priorities and properties
of operators have not changed while changing the grammar.

The optimization that uses a unique index to remove GROUP BY did not
ensure that the index was actually used, thus violating the ORDER BY
that is implied by GROUP BY.
Fixed by replacing GROUP BY with ORDER BY if the GROUP BY clause contains
a unique index over non-nullable field(s). In case GROUP BY ... ORDER BY
null is used, GROUP BY is simply removed.
Currently the Last_query_cost session status variable shows
only the cost of a single flat subselect. For complex queries
(with subselects or unions etc) Last_query_cost is not valid
as it was showing the cost for the last optimized subselect.
Fixed by reseting to zero Last_query_cost when the complete
cost of the query cannot be determined.
Last_query_cost will be non-zero only for single flat queries.

If, after the tables are locked, one of the conditions to read from a
HANDLER table is not met, the handler code wrongly jumps to a error path
that won't unlock the tables.
The user-visible effect is that after a error in a handler read command,
all subsequent handler operations on the same table will hang.
The fix is simply to correct the code to jump to the (same) error path that
unlocks the tables.
The problem from a user's perspective: user creates table A, and then tries
to CREATE TABLE a SELECT from A - and this causes a deadlock error, a hang,
or fails with a debug assert, but only if the storage engine is InnoDB.
The origin of the problem: InnoDB uses case-insensitive collation
(system_charset_info) when looking up the internal table share, thus returning
the same share for 'a' and 'A'.
Cause of the user-visible behavior: since the same share is returned to SQL
locking subsystem, it assumes that the same table is first locked (within the
same session) for WRITE, and then for READ, and returns a deadlock error.
However, the code is wrong in not properly cleaning up upon an error, leaving
external locks in place, which leads to assertion failures and hangs.
Fix that has been implemented: the SQL layer should properly propagate the
deadlock error, cleaning up and freeing all resources.
Further work towards a more complete solution: InnoDB should not use case
insensitive collation for table share hash if table names on disk honor the case.
