3 * Nicer crc32 functions/docs submitted by linux@horizon.com. Thanks!
4 * Code was from the public domain, copyright abandoned. Code was
5 * subsequently included in the kernel, thus was re-licensed under the
8 * Oct 12, 2000 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
9 * Same crc32 function was used in 5 other places in the kernel.
10 * I made one version, and deleted the others.
11 * There are various incantations of crc32(). Some use a seed of 0 or ~0.
12 * Some xor at the end with ~0. The generic crc32() function takes
13 * seed as an argument, and doesn't xor at the end. Then individual
14 * users can do whatever they need.
15 * drivers/net/smc9194.c uses seed ~0, doesn't xor with ~0.
16 * fs/jffs2 uses seed 0, doesn't xor with ~0.
17 * fs/partitions/efi.c uses seed ~0, xor's with ~0.

206 * A brief CRC tutorial.
208 * A CRC is a long-division remainder. You add the CRC to the message,
209 * and the whole thing (message+CRC) is a multiple of the given
210 * CRC polynomial. To check the CRC, you can either check that the
211 * CRC matches the recomputed value, *or* you can check that the
212 * remainder computed on the message+CRC is 0. This latter approach
213 * is used by a lot of hardware implementations, and is why so many
214 * protocols put the end-of-frame flag after the CRC.
216 * It's actually the same long division you learned in school, except that
217 * - We're working in binary, so the digits are only 0 and 1, and
218 * - When dividing polynomials, there are no carries. Rather than add and
219 * subtract, we just xor. Thus, we tend to get a bit sloppy about
220 * the difference between adding and subtracting.
222 * A 32-bit CRC polynomial is actually 33 bits long. But since it's
223 * 33 bits long, bit 32 is always going to be set, so usually the CRC
224 * is written in hex with the most significant bit omitted. (If you're
225 * familiar with the IEEE 754 floating-point format, it's the same idea.)
227 * Note that a CRC is computed over a string of *bits*, so you have
228 * to decide on the endianness of the bits within each byte. To get
229 * the best error-detecting properties, this should correspond to the
230 * order they're actually sent. For example, standard RS-232 serial is
231 * little-endian; the most significant bit (sometimes used for parity)
232 * is sent last. And when appending a CRC word to a message, you should
233 * do it in the right order, matching the endianness.
235 * Just like with ordinary division, the remainder is always smaller than
236 * the divisor (the CRC polynomial) you're dividing by. Each step of the
237 * division, you take one more digit (bit) of the dividend and append it
238 * to the current remainder. Then you figure out the appropriate multiple
239 * of the divisor to subtract to being the remainder back into range.
240 * In binary, it's easy - it has to be either 0 or 1, and to make the
241 * XOR cancel, it's just a copy of bit 32 of the remainder.
243 * When computing a CRC, we don't care about the quotient, so we can
244 * throw the quotient bit away, but subtract the appropriate multiple of
245 * the polynomial from the remainder and we're back to where we started,
246 * ready to process the next bit.
248 * A big-endian CRC written this way would be coded like:
249 * for (i = 0; i < input_bits; i++) {
250 * multiple = remainder & 0x80000000 ? CRCPOLY : 0;
251 * remainder = (remainder << 1 | next_input_bit()) ^ multiple;
253 * Notice how, to get at bit 32 of the shifted remainder, we look
254 * at bit 31 of the remainder *before* shifting it.
256 * But also notice how the next_input_bit() bits we're shifting into
257 * the remainder don't actually affect any decision-making until
258 * 32 bits later. Thus, the first 32 cycles of this are pretty boring.
259 * Also, to add the CRC to a message, we need a 32-bit-long hole for it at
260 * the end, so we have to add 32 extra cycles shifting in zeros at the
261 * end of every message,
263 * So the standard trick is to rearrage merging in the next_input_bit()
264 * until the moment it's needed. Then the first 32 cycles can be precomputed,
265 * and merging in the final 32 zero bits to make room for the CRC can be
267 * This changes the code to:
268 * for (i = 0; i < input_bits; i++) {
269 * remainder ^= next_input_bit() << 31;
270 * multiple = (remainder & 0x80000000) ? CRCPOLY : 0;
271 * remainder = (remainder << 1) ^ multiple;
273 * With this optimization, the little-endian code is simpler:
274 * for (i = 0; i < input_bits; i++) {
275 * remainder ^= next_input_bit();
276 * multiple = (remainder & 1) ? CRCPOLY : 0;
277 * remainder = (remainder >> 1) ^ multiple;
280 * Note that the other details of endianness have been hidden in CRCPOLY
281 * (which must be bit-reversed) and next_input_bit().
283 * However, as long as next_input_bit is returning the bits in a sensible
284 * order, we can actually do the merging 8 or more bits at a time rather
285 * than one bit at a time:
286 * for (i = 0; i < input_bytes; i++) {
287 * remainder ^= next_input_byte() << 24;
288 * for (j = 0; j < 8; j++) {
289 * multiple = (remainder & 0x80000000) ? CRCPOLY : 0;
290 * remainder = (remainder << 1) ^ multiple;
293 * Or in little-endian:
294 * for (i = 0; i < input_bytes; i++) {
295 * remainder ^= next_input_byte();
296 * for (j = 0; j < 8; j++) {
297 * multiple = (remainder & 1) ? CRCPOLY : 0;
298 * remainder = (remainder << 1) ^ multiple;
301 * If the input is a multiple of 32 bits, you can even XOR in a 32-bit
302 * word at a time and increase the inner loop count to 32.
304 * You can also mix and match the two loop styles, for example doing the
305 * bulk of a message byte-at-a-time and adding bit-at-a-time processing
306 * for any fractional bytes at the end.
308 * The only remaining optimization is to the byte-at-a-time table method.
309 * Here, rather than just shifting one bit of the remainder to decide
310 * in the correct multiple to subtract, we can shift a byte at a time.
311 * This produces a 40-bit (rather than a 33-bit) intermediate remainder,
312 * but again the multiple of the polynomial to subtract depends only on
313 * the high bits, the high 8 bits in this case.
315 * The multiple we need in that case is the low 32 bits of a 40-bit
316 * value whose high 8 bits are given, and which is a multiple of the
317 * generator polynomial. This is simply the CRC-32 of the given
320 * Two more details: normally, appending zero bits to a message which
321 * is already a multiple of a polynomial produces a larger multiple of that
322 * polynomial. To enable a CRC to detect this condition, it's common to
323 * invert the CRC before appending it. This makes the remainder of the
324 * message+crc come out not as zero, but some fixed non-zero value.
326 * The same problem applies to zero bits prepended to the message, and
327 * a similar solution is used. Instead of starting with a remainder of
328 * 0, an initial remainder of all ones is used. As long as you start
329 * the same way on decoding, it doesn't make a difference.
