Using a power-of-2 instead of power-of-10 base makes the computations much cheaper. 2^16 is safe; retval never becomes more than 2^48 + 2^32/2. On a 32 bit platform, the very expensive 64/32 division at the end of cie1931() instead becomes essentially free (a shift by 32 is just a register rename).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
