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