commit f699594d upstream. GCM instances can be created by either the "gcm" template, which only allows choosing the block cipher, e.g. "gcm(aes)"; or by "gcm_base", which allows choosing the ctr and ghash implementations, e.g. "gcm_base(ctr(aes-generic),ghash-generic)". However, a "gcm_base" instance prevents a "gcm" instance from being registered using the same implementations. Nor will the instance be found by lookups of "gcm". This can be used as a denial of service. Moreover, "gcm_base" instances are never tested by the crypto self-tests, even if there are compatible "gcm" tests. The root cause of these problems is that instances of the two templates use different cra_names. Therefore, fix these problems by making "gcm_base" instances set the same cra_name as "gcm" instances, e.g. "gcm(aes)" instead of "gcm_base(ctr(aes-generic),ghash-generic)". This requires extracting the block cipher name from the name of the ctr algorithm. It also requires starting to verify that the algorithms are really ctr and ghash, not something else entirely. But it would be bizarre if anyone were actually using non-gcm-compatible algorithms with gcm_base, so this shouldn't break anyone in practice.
