Ok, having first hand experience, this is what worked for me, if your table gets corrupted by any reason whatsoever, works with MySQL 5.6.11

use mysql;
SET GLOBAL general_log = 'OFF';

DROP TABLE general_log;

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `general_log` (
  `event_time` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
  `user_host` mediumtext NOT NULL,
  `thread_id` bigint(21) unsigned NOT NULL,  -- Be careful with this one.
  `server_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
  `command_type` varchar(64) NOT NULL,
  `argument` mediumtext NOT NULL
);

SET GLOBAL general_log = 'ON';

SET GLOBAL log_output = 'TABLE';

select * from mysql.general_log
order by event_time desc;
