5  * To avoid using floating point math down core paths (still necessary because
6  * versions of the glibc dynamic loader that did not preserve xmm registers are
7  * still somewhat common, requiring us to be compilable with -mno-sse), and also
8  * to avoid generally expensive library calls, we use a precomputed table of
9  * values.  We want to sample U uniformly on [0, 1], and then compute
10  * ceil(log(u)/log(1-1/nticks)).  We're mostly interested in the case where
11  * nticks is reasonably big, so 1/log(1-1/nticks) is well-approximated by
12  * -nticks.
13  *
14  * To compute log(u), we sample an integer in [1, 64] and divide, then just look
15  * up results in a table.  As a space-compression mechanism, we store these as
16  * uint8_t by dividing the range (255) by the highest-magnitude value the log
17  * can take on, and using that as a multiplier.  We then have to divide by that
18  * multiplier at the end of the computation.
19  *
20  * The values here are computed in src/ticker.py
