53  * random.c:
54  *
55  * An improved random number generation package.  In addition to the standard
56  * rand()/srand() like interface, this package also has a special state info
57  * interface.  The initstate() routine is called with a seed, an array of
58  * bytes, and a count of how many bytes are being passed in; this array is
59  * then initialized to contain information for random number generation with
60  * that much state information.  Good sizes for the amount of state
61  * information are 32, 64, 128, and 256 bytes.  The state can be switched by
62  * calling the setstate() routine with the same array as was initiallized
63  * with initstate().  By default, the package runs with 128 bytes of state
64  * information and generates far better random numbers than a linear
65  * congruential generator.  If the amount of state information is less than
66  * 32 bytes, a simple linear congruential R.N.G. is used.
67  *
68  * Internally, the state information is treated as an array of longs; the
69  * zeroeth element of the array is the type of R.N.G. being used (small
70  * integer); the remainder of the array is the state information for the
71  * R.N.G.  Thus, 32 bytes of state information will give 7 longs worth of
72  * state information, which will allow a degree seven polynomial.  (Note:
73  * the zeroeth word of state information also has some other information
74  * stored in it -- see setstate() for details).
75  *
76  * The random number generation technique is a linear feedback shift register
77  * approach, employing trinomials (since there are fewer terms to sum up that
78  * way).  In this approach, the least significant bit of all the numbers in
79  * the state table will act as a linear feedback shift register, and will
80  * have period 2^deg - 1 (where deg is the degree of the polynomial being
81  * used, assuming that the polynomial is irreducible and primitive).  The
82  * higher order bits will have longer periods, since their values are also
83  * influenced by pseudo-random carries out of the lower bits.  The total
84  * period of the generator is approximately deg*(2**deg - 1); thus doubling
85  * the amount of state information has a vast influence on the period of the
86  * generator.  Note: the deg*(2**deg - 1) is an approximation only good for
87  * large deg, when the period of the shift register is the dominant factor.
88  * With deg equal to seven, the period is actually much longer than the
89  * 7*(2**7 - 1) predicted by this formula.
90  *
91  * Modified 28 December 1994 by Jacob S. Rosenberg.
92  * The following changes have been made:
93  * All references to the type u_int have been changed to unsigned long.
94  * All references to type int have been changed to type long.  Other
95  * cleanups have been made as well.  A warning for both initstate and
96  * setstate has been inserted to the effect that on Sparc platforms
97  * the 'arg_state' variable must be forced to begin on word boundaries.
98  * This can be easily done by casting a long integer array to char *.
99  * The overall logic has been left STRICTLY alone.  This software was
100  * tested on both a VAX and Sun SpacsStation with exactly the same
101  * results.  The new version and the original give IDENTICAL results.
102  * The new version is somewhat faster than the original.  As the
103  * documentation says:  "By default, the package runs with 128 bytes of
104  * state information and generates far better random numbers than a linear
105  * congruential generator.  If the amount of state information is less than
106  * 32 bytes, a simple linear congruential R.N.G. is used."  For a buffer of
107  * 128 bytes, this new version runs about 19 percent faster and for a 16
108  * byte buffer it is about 5 percent faster.
109  */
110 
111 /*
112  * For each of the currently supported random number generators, we have a
113  * break value on the amount of state information (you need at least this
114  * many bytes of state info to support this random number generator), a degree
115  * for the polynomial (actually a trinomial) that the R.N.G. is based on, and
116  * the separation between the two lower order coefficients of the trinomial.

459  * congruential bit.  Otherwise, we do our fancy trinomial stuff, which is
460  * the same in all the other cases due to all the global variables that have
461  * been set up.  The basic operation is to add the number at the rear pointer
462  * into the one at the front pointer.  Then both pointers are advanced to
463  * the next location cyclically in the table.  The value returned is the sum
464  * generated, reduced to 31 bits by throwing away the "least random" low bit.
465  *
466  * Note: the code takes advantage of the fact that both the front and
467  * rear pointers can't wrap on the same call by not testing the rear
468  * pointer if the front one has wrapped.
