Tom Lane 2cd4e83570 Fix contrib/auto_explain to not cause problems in parallel workers.
A parallel worker process should not be making any decisions of its
own about whether to auto-explain.  If the parent session process
passed down flags asking for instrumentation data, do that, otherwise
not.  Trying to enable instrumentation anyway leads to bugs like the
"could not find key N in shm TOC" failure reported in bug #15821
from Christian Hofstaedtler.

We can implement this cheaply by piggybacking on the existing logic
for not doing anything when we've chosen not to sample a statement.

While at it, clean up some tin-eared coding related to the sampling
feature, including an off-by-one error that meant that asking for 1.0
sampling rate didn't actually result in sampling every statement.

Although the specific case reported here only manifested in >= v11,
I believe that related misbehaviors can be demonstrated in any version
that has parallel query; and the off-by-one error is certainly there
back to 9.6 where that feature was added.  So back-patch to 9.6.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
