15  * NOTES
16  * It is expected that every bit of a hash function's 32-bit result is
17  * as random as every other; failure to ensure this is likely to lead
18  * to poor performance of hash tables. In most cases a hash
19  * function should use hash_bytes() or its variant hash_bytes_uint32(),
20  * or the wrappers hash_any() and hash_uint32 defined in hashfn.h.

30  * This hash function was written by Bob Jenkins
31  * (bob_jenkins@burtleburtle.net), and superficially adapted
32  * for PostgreSQL by Neil Conway. For more information on this
33  * hash function, see http://burtleburtle.net/bob/hash/doobs.html,
34  * or Bob's article in Dr. Dobb's Journal, Sept. 1997.
35  *
36  * In the current code, we have adopted Bob's 2006 update of his hash
37  * function to fetch the data a word at a time when it is suitably aligned.
38  * This makes for a useful speedup, at the cost of having to maintain
39  * four code paths (aligned vs unaligned, and little-endian vs big-endian).
40  * It also uses two separate mixing functions mix() and final(), instead
41  * of a slower multi-purpose function.

51  * mix -- mix 3 32-bit values reversibly.
52  *
53  * This is reversible, so any information in (a,b,c) before mix() is
54  * still in (a,b,c) after mix().
55  *
56  * If four pairs of (a,b,c) inputs are run through mix(), or through
57  * mix() in reverse, there are at least 32 bits of the output that
58  * are sometimes the same for one pair and different for another pair.
59  * This was tested for:
60  * * pairs that differed by one bit, by two bits, in any combination
61  * of top bits of (a,b,c), or in any combination of bottom bits of
62  * (a,b,c).
63  * * "differ" is defined as +, -, ^, or ~^. For + and -, I transformed
64  * the output delta to a Gray code (a^(a>>1)) so a string of 1's (as
65  * is commonly produced by subtraction) look like a single 1-bit
66  * difference.
67  * * the base values were pseudorandom, all zero but one bit set, or
68  * all zero plus a counter that starts at zero.
69  *
70  * This does not achieve avalanche. There are input bits of (a,b,c)
71  * that fail to affect some output bits of (a,b,c), especially of a. The
72  * most thoroughly mixed value is c, but it doesn't really even achieve
73  * avalanche in c.
74  *
75  * This allows some parallelism. Read-after-writes are good at doubling
76  * the number of bits affected, so the goal of mixing pulls in the opposite
77  * direction from the goal of parallelism. I did what I could. Rotates
78  * seem to cost as much as shifts on every machine I could lay my hands on,
79  * and rotates are much kinder to the top and bottom bits, so I used rotates.

94  *
95  * Pairs of (a,b,c) values differing in only a few bits will usually
96  * produce values of c that look totally different. This was tested for

105  * all zero plus a counter that starts at zero.
106  *
107  * The use of separate functions for mix() and final() allow for a
108  * substantial performance increase since final() does not need to
109  * do well in reverse, but is does need to affect all output bits.
110  * mix(), on the other hand, does not need to affect all output
111  * bits (affecting 32 bits is enough). The original hash function had
112  * a single mixing operation that had to satisfy both sets of requirements
113  * and was slower as a result.
