From 32db469edfcca8f12b85299bb9311b9004c4e1ac Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Christian=20G=C3=B6ttsche?= Date: Fri, 15 Mar 2024 19:14:04 +0100 Subject: selinux: improve symtab string hashing MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The number of buckets is calculated by performing a binary AND against the mask of the hash table, which is one less than its size (which is a power of two). This leads to all top bits being discarded, requiring for short or similar inputs a hash function with a good avalanche effect.
