secp256k1_ecmult_gen()

static void secp256k1_ecmult_gen ( const secp256k1_ecmult_gen_context *  ctx, secp256k1_gej *  r, const secp256k1_scalar *  gn  )

This uses a conditional move to avoid any secret data in array indexes. Any use of secret indexes has been demonstrated to result in timing sidechannels, even when the cache-line access patterns are uniform.

Bernstein and Peter Schwabe (https://cryptojedi.org/peter/data/chesrump-20130822.pdf) and "Cache Attacks and Countermeasures: the Case of AES", RSA 2006, by Dag Arne Osvik, Adi Shamir, and Eran Tromer (http://www.tau.ac.il/~tromer/papers/cache.pdf)

secp256k1_ecmult_gen_blind()

static void secp256k1_ecmult_gen_blind ( secp256k1_ecmult_gen_context *  ctx, const unsigned char *  seed32  )

static

Using a CSPRNG allows a failure free interface, avoids needing large amounts of random data, and guards against weak or adversarial seeds. This is a simpler and safer interface than asking the caller for blinding values directly and expecting them to retry on failure.
