The “div_spoiler” was designed to always trigger the slow path division on Intel chips and be sufficiently obfuscated to stop the compiler optimising it away. It was always a huge hack but I didn't know the correct solution at the time. Replace that hack with Barrett reduction, which solves the problem without using division in the first place. This change has been running in BoringSSL for some time without issues. -- Ticket here: http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=4532 Please log in as guest with password guest if prompted -- openssl-dev mailing list To unsubscribe: https://mta.openssl.org/mailman/listinfo/openssl-dev
