190
* A brief CRC tutorial.
192
* A CRC is a long-division remainder. You add the CRC to the message,
193
* and the whole thing (message+CRC) is a multiple of the given
194
* CRC polynomial. To check the CRC, you can either check that the
195
* CRC matches the recomputed value, *or* you can check that the
196
* remainder computed on the message+CRC is 0. This latter approach
197
* is used by a lot of hardware implementations, and is why so many
198
* protocols put the end-of-frame flag after the CRC.
200
* It's actually the same long division you learned in school, except that
201
* - We're working in binary, so the digits are only 0 and 1, and
202
* - When dividing polynomials, there are no carries. Rather than add and
203
* subtract, we just xor. Thus, we tend to get a bit sloppy about
204
* the difference between adding and subtracting.
206
* A 32-bit CRC polynomial is actually 33 bits long. But since it's
207
* 33 bits long, bit 32 is always going to be set, so usually the CRC
208
* is written in hex with the most significant bit omitted. (If you're
209
* familiar with the IEEE 754 floating-point format, it's the same idea.)
211
* Note that a CRC is computed over a string of *bits*, so you have
212
* to decide on the endianness of the bits within each byte. To get
213
* the best error-detecting properties, this should correspond to the
214
* order they're actually sent. For example, standard RS-232 serial is
215
* little-endian; the most significant bit (sometimes used for parity)
216
* is sent last. And when appending a CRC word to a message, you should
217
* do it in the right order, matching the endianness.
219
* Just like with ordinary division, the remainder is always smaller than
220
* the divisor (the CRC polynomial) you're dividing by. Each step of the
221
* division, you take one more digit (bit) of the dividend and append it
222
* to the current remainder. Then you figure out the appropriate multiple
223
* of the divisor to subtract to being the remainder back into range.
224
* In binary, it's easy - it has to be either 0 or 1, and to make the
225
* XOR cancel, it's just a copy of bit 32 of the remainder.
227
* When computing a CRC, we don't care about the quotient, so we can
228
* throw the quotient bit away, but subtract the appropriate multiple of
229
* the polynomial from the remainder and we're back to where we started,
230
* ready to process the next bit.
232
* A big-endian CRC written this way would be coded like:
233
* for (i = 0; i < input_bits; i++) {
234
* multiple = remainder & 0x80000000 ? CRCPOLY : 0;
235
* remainder = (remainder << 1 | next_input_bit()) ^ multiple;
237
* Notice how, to get at bit 32 of the shifted remainder, we look
238
* at bit 31 of the remainder *before* shifting it.
240
* But also notice how the next_input_bit() bits we're shifting into
241
* the remainder don't actually affect any decision-making until
242
* 32 bits later. Thus, the first 32 cycles of this are pretty boring.
243
* Also, to add the CRC to a message, we need a 32-bit-long hole for it at
244
* the end, so we have to add 32 extra cycles shifting in zeros at the
245
* end of every message,
247
* So the standard trick is to rearrage merging in the next_input_bit()
248
* until the moment it's needed. Then the first 32 cycles can be precomputed,
249
* and merging in the final 32 zero bits to make room for the CRC can be
251
* This changes the code to:
252
* for (i = 0; i < input_bits; i++) {
253
* remainder ^= next_input_bit() << 31;
254
* multiple = (remainder & 0x80000000) ? CRCPOLY : 0;
255
* remainder = (remainder << 1) ^ multiple;
257
* With this optimization, the little-endian code is simpler:
258
* for (i = 0; i < input_bits; i++) {
259
* remainder ^= next_input_bit();
260
* multiple = (remainder & 1) ? CRCPOLY : 0;
261
* remainder = (remainder >> 1) ^ multiple;
264
* Note that the other details of endianness have been hidden in CRCPOLY
265
* (which must be bit-reversed) and next_input_bit().
267
* However, as long as next_input_bit is returning the bits in a sensible
268
* order, we can actually do the merging 8 or more bits at a time rather
269
* than one bit at a time:
270
* for (i = 0; i < input_bytes; i++) {
271
* remainder ^= next_input_byte() << 24;
272
* for (j = 0; j < 8; j++) {
273
* multiple = (remainder & 0x80000000) ? CRCPOLY : 0;
274
* remainder = (remainder << 1) ^ multiple;
277
* Or in little-endian:
278
* for (i = 0; i < input_bytes; i++) {
279
* remainder ^= next_input_byte();
280
* for (j = 0; j < 8; j++) {
281
* multiple = (remainder & 1) ? CRCPOLY : 0;
282
* remainder = (remainder << 1) ^ multiple;
285
* If the input is a multiple of 32 bits, you can even XOR in a 32-bit
286
* word at a time and increase the inner loop count to 32.
288
* You can also mix and match the two loop styles, for example doing the
289
* bulk of a message byte-at-a-time and adding bit-at-a-time processing
290
* for any fractional bytes at the end.
292
* The only remaining optimization is to the byte-at-a-time table method.
293
* Here, rather than just shifting one bit of the remainder to decide
294
* in the correct multiple to subtract, we can shift a byte at a time.
295
* This produces a 40-bit (rather than a 33-bit) intermediate remainder,
296
* but again the multiple of the polynomial to subtract depends only on
297
* the high bits, the high 8 bits in this case.
299
* The multile we need in that case is the low 32 bits of a 40-bit
300
* value whose high 8 bits are given, and which is a multiple of the
301
* generator polynomial. This is simply the CRC-32 of the given
304
* Two more details: normally, appending zero bits to a message which
305
* is already a multiple of a polynomial produces a larger multiple of that
306
* polynomial. To enable a CRC to detect this condition, it's common to
307
* invert the CRC before appending it. This makes the remainder of the
308
* message+crc come out not as zero, but some fixed non-zero value.
310
* The same problem applies to zero bits prepended to the message, and
311
* a similar solution is used. Instead of starting with a remainder of
312
* 0, an initial remainder of all ones is used. As long as you start
313
* the same way on decoding, it doesn't make a difference.

* A brief CRC tutorial.
192
* A CRC is a long-division remainder. You add the CRC to the message,
193
* and the whole thing (message+CRC) is a multiple of the given
194
* CRC polynomial. To check the CRC, you can either check that the
195
* CRC matches the recomputed value, *or* you can check that the
196
* remainder computed on the message+CRC is 0. This latter approach
197
* is used by a lot of hardware implementations, and is why so many
198
* protocols put the end-of-frame flag after the CRC.
200
* It's actually the same long division you learned in school, except that
201
* - We're working in binary, so the digits are only 0 and 1, and
202
* - When dividing polynomials, there are no carries. Rather than add and
203
* subtract, we just xor. Thus, we tend to get a bit sloppy about
204
* the difference between adding and subtracting.
206
* A 32-bit CRC polynomial is actually 33 bits long. But since it's
207
* 33 bits long, bit 32 is always going to be set, so usually the CRC
208
* is written in hex with the most significant bit omitted. (If you're
209
* familiar with the IEEE 754 floating-point format, it's the same idea.)
211
* Note that a CRC is computed over a string of *bits*, so you have
212
* to decide on the endianness of the bits within each byte. To get
213
* the best error-detecting properties, this should correspond to the
214
* order they're actually sent. For example, standard RS-232 serial is
215
* little-endian; the most significant bit (sometimes used for parity)
216
* is sent last. And when appending a CRC word to a message, you should
217
* do it in the right order, matching the endianness.
219
* Just like with ordinary division, the remainder is always smaller than
220
* the divisor (the CRC polynomial) you're dividing by. Each step of the
221
* division, you take one more digit (bit) of the dividend and append it
222
* to the current remainder. Then you figure out the appropriate multiple
223
* of the divisor to subtract to being the remainder back into range.
224
* In binary, it's easy - it has to be either 0 or 1, and to make the
225
* XOR cancel, it's just a copy of bit 32 of the remainder.
227
* When computing a CRC, we don't care about the quotient, so we can
228
* throw the quotient bit away, but subtract the appropriate multiple of
229
* the polynomial from the remainder and we're back to where we started,
230
* ready to process the next bit.
232
* A big-endian CRC written this way would be coded like:
233
* for (i = 0; i < input_bits; i++) {
234
* multiple = remainder & 0x80000000 ? CRCPOLY : 0;
235
* remainder = (remainder << 1 | next_input_bit()) ^ multiple;
237
* Notice how, to get at bit 32 of the shifted remainder, we look
238
* at bit 31 of the remainder *before* shifting it.
240
* But also notice how the next_input_bit() bits we're shifting into
241
* the remainder don't actually affect any decision-making until
242
* 32 bits later. Thus, the first 32 cycles of this are pretty boring.
243
* Also, to add the CRC to a message, we need a 32-bit-long hole for it at
244
* the end, so we have to add 32 extra cycles shifting in zeros at the
245
* end of every message,
247
* So the standard trick is to rearrage merging in the next_input_bit()
248
* until the moment it's needed. Then the first 32 cycles can be precomputed,
249
* and merging in the final 32 zero bits to make room for the CRC can be
251
* This changes the code to:
252
* for (i = 0; i < input_bits; i++) {
253
* remainder ^= next_input_bit() << 31;
254
* multiple = (remainder & 0x80000000) ? CRCPOLY : 0;
255
* remainder = (remainder << 1) ^ multiple;
257
* With this optimization, the little-endian code is simpler:
258
* for (i = 0; i < input_bits; i++) {
259
* remainder ^= next_input_bit();
260
* multiple = (remainder & 1) ? CRCPOLY : 0;
261
* remainder = (remainder >> 1) ^ multiple;
264
* Note that the other details of endianness have been hidden in CRCPOLY
265
* (which must be bit-reversed) and next_input_bit().
267
* However, as long as next_input_bit is returning the bits in a sensible
268
* order, we can actually do the merging 8 or more bits at a time rather
269
* than one bit at a time:
270
* for (i = 0; i < input_bytes; i++) {
271
* remainder ^= next_input_byte() << 24;
272
* for (j = 0; j < 8; j++) {
273
* multiple = (remainder & 0x80000000) ? CRCPOLY : 0;
274
* remainder = (remainder << 1) ^ multiple;
277
* Or in little-endian:
278
* for (i = 0; i < input_bytes; i++) {
279
* remainder ^= next_input_byte();
280
* for (j = 0; j < 8; j++) {
281
* multiple = (remainder & 1) ? CRCPOLY : 0;
282
* remainder = (remainder << 1) ^ multiple;
285
* If the input is a multiple of 32 bits, you can even XOR in a 32-bit
286
* word at a time and increase the inner loop count to 32.
288
* You can also mix and match the two loop styles, for example doing the
289
* bulk of a message byte-at-a-time and adding bit-at-a-time processing
290
* for any fractional bytes at the end.
292
* The only remaining optimization is to the byte-at-a-time table method.
293
* Here, rather than just shifting one bit of the remainder to decide
294
* in the correct multiple to subtract, we can shift a byte at a time.
295
* This produces a 40-bit (rather than a 33-bit) intermediate remainder,
296
* but again the multiple of the polynomial to subtract depends only on
297
* the high bits, the high 8 bits in this case.
299
* The multile we need in that case is the low 32 bits of a 40-bit
300
* value whose high 8 bits are given, and which is a multiple of the
301
* generator polynomial. This is simply the CRC-32 of the given
304
* Two more details: normally, appending zero bits to a message which
305
* is already a multiple of a polynomial produces a larger multiple of that
306
* polynomial. To enable a CRC to detect this condition, it's common to
307
* invert the CRC before appending it. This makes the remainder of the
308
* message+crc come out not as zero, but some fixed non-zero value.
310
* The same problem applies to zero bits prepended to the message, and
311
* a similar solution is used. Instead of starting with a remainder of
312
* 0, an initial remainder of all ones is used. As long as you start
313
* the same way on decoding, it doesn't make a difference.
