This comes with several benefits. It's certainly faster and more cryptographically secure than MD5. This patch also hashes the pid, entropy, and timestamp as fixed width fields, in order to increase diffusion. The previous md5 algorithm used a per-cpu md5 state, which caused successive calls to the function to chain upon each other. While it's not entirely clear that this kind of chaining is absolutely necessary when using a secure PRF like siphash24, it can't hurt, and the timing of the call chain does add a degree of natural entropy. So, in keeping with this design, instead of the massive per-cpu 64-byte md5 state, there is instead a per-cpu previously returned value for chaining. Signed-off-by: Jason A.
