cregit-Linux how code gets into the kernel

/*
 * Routines for hashing strings of bytes to a 32-bit hash value.
 *
 * These hash functions are NOT GUARANTEED STABLE between kernel
 * versions, architectures, or even repeated boots of the same kernel.
 * (E.g. they may depend on boot-time hardware detection or be
 * deliberately randomized.)
 *
 * They are also not intended to be secure against collisions caused by
 * malicious inputs; much slower hash functions are required for that.
 *
 * They are optimized for pathname components, meaning short strings.
 * Even if a majority of files have longer names, the dynamic profile of
 * pathname components skews short due to short directory names.
 * (E.g. /usr/lib/libsesquipedalianism.so.3.141.)
 */

/*
 * Version 1: one byte at a time.  Example of use:
 *
 * unsigned long hash = init_name_hash;
 * while (*p)
 *      hash = partial_name_hash(tolower(*p++), hash);
 * hash = end_name_hash(hash);
 *
 * Although this is designed for bytes, fs/hfsplus/unicode.c
 * abuses it to hash 16-bit values.
