Subject: Totally remove the supposedly 'faster' variant in
X-Git-Tag: OpenSSL_0_9_6-beta3~20
X-Git-Url: https://git.librecmc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=fe03519704d5f533722e061009ca079e7217cfd2;p=oweals%2Fopenssl.git

Totally remove the supposedly 'faster' variant in
BN_mod_mul_montgomery, which calls bn_sqr_recursive
without much preparation.

bn_sqr_recursive requires the length of its argument to be
a power of 2, which is not always the case here.
There's no reason for not using BN_sqr -- if a simpler
approach to squaring made sense, then why not change
BN_sqr?  (Using BN_sqr should also speed up DH where g is chosen
such that it becomes small [e.g., 2] when converted
to Montgomery representation.)

Case closed :-)
