The Linux kernel moved away from 0x9e370001 in 2016 because it doesn't mix bits as well as it should. Replace it with a magic constant based on the golden ratio, the same one modern kernels use. Remove the perl hash implementation that was used for tracking local variables. The generic hash function now works as well as perl hash.
