Comment (by tpearson-raptor):

 Replying to [comment:6 gk]:
 > https://bearssl.org/ctmul.html has some more information.

 The listed CPUs are very old.  POWER9 (and likely POWER8) has constant
 time multiplication via the mulhd/mulhdu and mulld commands (min latency
 5, max latency 5).

 See the processor user guide [1], Appendix A for details.
