> I would like a review of an update to the GCM code. A recent report showed that GCM memory usage for TLS was very large. This was a result of in-place buffers, which TLS uses, and how the code handled the combined intrinsic method during decryption. A temporary buffer was used because the combined intrinsic does gctr before ghash which results in a bad tag. The fix is to not use the combined intrinsic during in-place decryption and depend on the individual GHASH and CounterMode intrinsics. Direct ByteBuffers are not affected as they are not used by the intrinsics directly.

> The reduction in the memory usage boosted performance back to where it was before despite using slower intrinsics (gctr & ghash individually). The extra memory allocation for the temporary buffer out-weighted the faster intrinsic.

> JDK 17: 122913.554 ops/sec
> JDK 19: 94885.008 ops/sec
> Post fix: 122735.804 ops/sec

> There is no regression test because this is a memory change and test coverage already existing.
