-		 * "k[2]&0xffffff" actually reads beyond the end of the string, but
-		 * then masks off the part it's not allowed to read.	Because the
-		 * string is aligned, the masked-off tail is in the same word as the
-		 * rest of the string.	Every machine with memory protection I've seen
-		 * does it on word boundaries, so is OK with this.	But VALGRIND will
-		 * still catch it and complain.	The masking trick does make the hash
-		 * noticably faster for short strings (like English words).
+		 * The original jhash.h reads beyond the end of string, and implements
+		 * a special code path for VALGRIND. It seems to make ASan unhappy too
+		 * though, so considering that hashing event names is not a fast-path
+		 * in lttng-ust, remove the "fast" code entirely and use the slower
+		 * but verifiable VALGRIND version of the code which does not issue
+		 * out-of-bound reads.
