- * --------------------------------------------------------------------
- * hash() -- hash a variable-length key into a 32-bit value
- * k     : the key (the unaligned variable-length array of bytes)
- * len   : the length of the key, counting by bytes
- * level : can be any 4-byte value
- * Returns a 32-bit value.  Every bit of the key affects every bit of
- * the return value.  Every 1-bit and 2-bit delta achieves avalanche.
- * About 36+6len instructions.
- *
- * #define hashsize(n) ((uint32_t)1<<(n))
- * #define hashmask(n) (hashsize(n)-1)
- *
- * The best hash table sizes are powers of 2.  There is no need to do
- * mod a prime (mod is sooo slow!).  If you need less than 32 bits,
- * use a bitmask.  For example, if you need only 10 bits, do
- * h = (h & hashmask(10));
- * In which case, the hash table should have hashsize(10) elements.
- *
- * If you are hashing n strings (uint8_t **)k, do it like this:
- * for (i=0, h=0; i<n; ++i) h = hash( k[i], len[i], h);
- *
- * By Bob Jenkins, 1996.  bob_jenkins@burtleburtle.net.  You may use this
- * code any way you wish, private, educational, or commercial.  It's free.
- *
- * See https://burtleburtle.net/bob/hash/evahash.html
- * Use for hash table lookup, or anything where one collision in 2^32 is
- * acceptable.  Do NOT use for cryptographic purposes.
- *
- * --------------------------------------------------------------------
- *
- * mix -- mix 3 32-bit values reversibly.
- * For every delta with one or two bit set, and the deltas of all three
- * high bits or all three low bits, whether the original value of a,b,c
- * is almost all zero or is uniformly distributed,
- * If mix() is run forward or backward, at least 32 bits in a,b,c
- * have at least 1/4 probability of changing.
- * If mix() is run forward, every bit of c will change between 1/3 and
- * 2/3 of the time.  (Well, 22/100 and 78/100 for some 2-bit deltas.)
- * mix() was built out of 36 single-cycle latency instructions in a
- * structure that could supported 2x parallelism, like so:
- *    a -= b;
- *    a -= c; x = (c>>13);
- *    b -= c; a ^= x;
- *    b -= a; x = (a<<8);
- *    c -= a; b ^= x;
- *    c -= b; x = (b>>13);
- *    ...
- * Unfortunately, superscalar Pentiums and Sparcs can't take advantage
- * of that parallelism.  They've also turned some of those single-cycle
- * latency instructions into multi-cycle latency instructions.  Still,
- * this is the fastest good hash I could find.  There were about 2^^68
- * to choose from.  I only looked at a billion or so.
- *
- * James Yonan Notes:
- *
- * This function is faster than it looks, and appears to be
- * appropriate for our usage in OpenVPN which is primarily
- * for hash-table based address lookup (IPv4, IPv6, and Ethernet MAC).
- * NOTE: This function is never used for cryptographic purposes, only
- * to produce evenly-distributed indexes into hash tables.
- *
- * Benchmark results: 11.39 machine cycles per byte on a P2 266Mhz,
- *                   and 12.1 machine cycles per byte on a
- *                   2.2 Ghz P4 when hashing a 6 byte string.
