commit 92a2f01ea40ec52f8f77893ff433dc47c1f5b9ef

    Add value_barriers in constant time select functions
    
    The barriers prevent the compiler from narrowing down the
    possible value range of the mask and ~mask in the select
    statements, which avoids the recognition of the select
    and turning it into a conditional load or branch.
