Subject: [PATCH 5/8] Fix stddev() carryover computation
Date: Tue, 4 Jun 2024 14:00:05 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240604180008.11331-5-eugene.loh@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240604180008.11331-1-eugene.loh@oracle.com>
From: Eugene Loh <eugene.loh@oracle.com>
The stddev() aggregation function squares 64-bit data values. A
value is split into 32-bit high and low values. Then, (high + low)
is squared to produce high*high, 2*high*low, and low*low. Each is
managed in its own 64-bit register, with the final result residing
in two 64-bit registers.
When the 2*high*low portion is combined with the low*low portion,
care is exercised in case the combination has a carryover portion to
the higher bits. This check was broken in the case where low==0.
That is, data values whose lowest 32 bits were 0 resulted in
outrageously bad stddev() results.
Fix the check and add a test for such cases.
