In preparation to enable -Wimplicit-fallthrough for Clang, explicitly
add break statements instead of letting the code fall through to the
next case.
This patch adds four break statements that, together, fix almost 40,000
warnings when building Linux 5.10-rc1 with Clang 12.0.0 and this[1] change
reverted. Notice that in order to enable -Wimplicit-fallthrough for Clang,
such change[1] is meant to be reverted at some point. So, this patch helps
to move in that direction.
Something important to mention is that there is currently a discrepancy
between GCC and Clang when dealing with switch fall-through to empty case
statements or to cases that only contain a break/continue/return
statement[2][3][4].
Now that the -Wimplicit-fallthrough option has been globally enabled[5],
any compiler should really warn on missing either a fallthrough annotation
or any of the other case-terminating statements (break/continue/return/
goto) when falling through to the next case statement. Making exceptions
to this introduces variation in case handling which may continue to lead
to bugs, misunderstandings, and a general lack of robustness. The point
of enabling options like -Wimplicit-fallthrough is to prevent human error
and aid developers in spotting bugs before their code is even built/
submitted/committed, therefore eliminating classes of bugs. So, in order
to really accomplish this, we should, and can, move in the direction of
addressing any error-prone scenarios and get rid of the unintentional
fallthrough bug-class in the kernel, entirely, even if there is some minor
redundancy. Better to have explicit case-ending statements than continue to
have exceptions where one must guess as to the right result. The compiler
will eliminate any actual redundancy.

Replace the existing /* fall through */ comments and its variants with
the new pseudo-keyword macro fallthrough[1]. Also, remove unnecessary
fall-through markings when it is the case.

It's better to use my kadlec@netfilter.org email address in

GCC 7 added a new -Wimplicit-fallthrough warning. It's only enabled
with W=1, but since linux/jhash.h is included in over hundred places
(including other global headers) it seems worthwhile fixing this
warning.

Looking over the implementation for jhash2 and comparing it to jhash_3words
I realized that the two hashes were in fact very different. Doing a bit of
digging led me to "The new jhash implementation" in which lookup2 was
supposed to have been replaced with lookup3.
In reviewing the patch I noticed that jhash2 had originally initialized a
and b to JHASH_GOLDENRATIO and c to initval, but after the patch a, b, and
c were initialized to initval + (length << 2) + JHASH_INITVAL. However the
changes in jhash_3words simply replaced the initialization of a and b with
JHASH_INITVAL.
This change corrects what I believe was an oversight so that a, b, and c in
jhash_3words all have the same value added consisting of initval + (length
<< 2) + JHASH_INITVAL so that jhash2 and jhash_3words will now produce the
same hash result given the same inputs.

The current jhash.h implements the lookup2() hash function by Bob Jenkins.
However, lookup2() is outdated as Bob wrote a new hash function called
lookup3(). The patch replaces the lookup2() implementation of the 'jhash*'
functions with that of lookup3().
You can read a longer comparison of the two and other hash functions at
http://burtleburtle.net/bob/hash/doobs.html.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
