From fbb145bc0a1c03b90a96cca99dc07c33aaad2318 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephan Mueller Date: Tue, 9 Jun 2015 04:08:49 +0200 Subject: crypto: drbg - use pragmas for disabling optimization Replace the global -O0 compiler flag from the Makefile with GCC pragmas to mark only the functions required to be compiled without optimizations. This patch also adds a comment describing the rationale for the functions chosen to be compiled without optimizations.
