92 * HTCP_CALC_ALPHA performs a fixed point math calculation to determine the
93 * value of alpha, based on the function defined in the HTCP spec.
94 *
95 * i.e. 1 + 10(delta - delta_l) + ((delta - delta_l) / 2) ^ 2
96 *
97 * "diff" is passed in to the macro as "delta - delta_l" and is expected to be
98 * in units of ticks.
99 *
100 * The joyousnous of fixed point maths means our function implementation looks a
101 * little funky...
102 *
103 * In order to maintain some precision in the calculations, a fixed point shift
104 * HTCP_ALPHA_INC_SHIFT is used to ensure the integer divisions don't
105 * truncate the results too badly.
106 *
107 * The "16" value is the "1" term in the alpha function shifted up by
108 * HTCP_ALPHA_INC_SHIFT
109 *
110 * The "160" value is the "10" multiplier in the alpha function multiplied by
111 * 2^HTCP_ALPHA_INC_SHIFT
112 *
113 * Specifying these as constants reduces the computations required. After
114 * up-shifting all the terms in the function and performing the required
115 * calculations, we down-shift the final result by HTCP_ALPHA_INC_SHIFT to
116 * ensure it is back in the correct range.
117 *
118 * The "hz" terms are required as kernels can be configured to run with
119 * different tick timers, which we have to adjust for in the alpha calculation
120 * (which originally was defined in terms of seconds).
121 *
122 * We also have to be careful to constrain the value of diff such that it won't
123 * overflow whilst performing the calculation. The middle term i.e. (160 * diff)
124 * / hz is the limiting factor in the calculation. We must constrain diff to be
125 * less than the max size of an int divided by the constant 160 figure
126 * i.e. diff < INT_MAX / 160
127 *
128 * NB: Changing HTCP_ALPHA_INC_SHIFT will require you to MANUALLY update the
129 * constants used in this function!
