crypto: xts - use 'spawn' for underlying single-block cipher
Since commit adad556efcdd ("crypto: api - Fix built-in testing dependency failures"), the following warning appears when booting an x86_64 kernel that is configured with CONFIG_CRYPTO_MANAGER_EXTRA_TESTS=y and CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES_NI_INTEL=y, even when CONFIG_CRYPTO_XTS=y and CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES=y: alg: skcipher: skipping comparison tests for xts-aes-aesni because xts(ecb(aes-generic)) is unavailable This is caused by an issue in the xts template where it allocates an "aes" single-block cipher without declaring a dependency on it via the crypto_spawn mechanism. This issue was exposed by the above commit because it reversed the order that the algorithms are tested in. Specifically, when "xts(ecb(aes-generic))" is instantiated and tested during the comparison tests for "xts-aes-aesni", the "xts" template allocates an "aes" crypto_cipher for encrypting tweaks. This resolves to "aes-aesni". (Getting "aes-aesni" instead of "aes-generic" here is a bit weird, but it's apparently intended.) Due to the above-mentioned commit, the testing of "aes-aesni", and the finalization of its registration, now happens at this point instead of before. At the end of that, crypto_remove_spawns() unregisters all algorithm instances that depend on a lower-priority "aes" implementation such as "aes-generic" but that do not depend on "aes-aesni". However, because "xts" does not use the crypto_spawn mechanism for its "aes", its dependency on "aes-aesni" is not recognized by crypto_remove_spawns(). Thus, crypto_remove_spawns() unexpectedly unregisters "xts(ecb(aes-generic))". Fix this issue by making the "xts" template use the crypto_spawn mechanism for its "aes" dependency, like what other templates do. Note, this fix could be applied as far back as commit f1c131b45410 ("crypto: xts - Convert to skcipher"). However, the issue only got exposed by the much more recent changes to how the crypto API runs the self-tests, so there should be no need to backport this to very old kernels. Also, an alternative fix would be to flip the list iteration order in crypto_start_tests() to restore the original testing order. I'm thinking we should do that too, since the original order seems more natural, but it shouldn't be relied on for correctness.
