	This fixes a regression introduced by faa16bc404d72a5 ("lib: Use existing define with polynomial"). The cleanup added a dependency on include/linux, which broke the PowerPC boot wrapper/decompresser when KERNEL_XZ is enabled: BOOTCC arch/powerpc/boot/decompress.o In file included from arch/powerpc/boot/../../../lib/decompress_unxz.c:233, from arch/powerpc/boot/decompress.c:42: arch/powerpc/boot/../../../lib/xz/xz_crc32.c:18:10: fatal error: linux/crc32poly.h: No such file or directory #include <linux/crc32poly.h> ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The powerpc decompresser is a hairy corner of the kernel. Even while building a 64-bit kernel it needs to build a 32-bit binary and therefore avoid including files from include/linux. This allows users of the xz library to avoid including headers from 'include/linux/' while still achieving the cleanup of the magic number.

2011-01-13	decompressors: add XZ decompressor module	Lasse Collin
	In userspace, the .lzma format has become mostly a legacy file format that got superseded by the .xz format. Similarly, LZMA Utils was superseded by XZ Utils. These patches add support for XZ decompression into the kernel. Most of the code is as is from XZ Embedded <http://tukaani.org/xz/embedded.html>. It was written for the Linux kernel but is usable in other projects too. Advantages of XZ over the current LZMA code in the kernel: - Nice API that can be used by other kernel modules; it's not limited to kernel, initramfs, and initrd decompression. - Integrity check support (CRC32) - BCJ filters improve compression of executable code on certain architectures. These together with LZMA2 can produce a few percent smaller kernel or Squashfs images than plain LZMA without making the decompression slower. This patch: Add the main decompression code (xz_dec), testing module (xz_dec_test), wrapper script (xz_wrap.sh) for the xz command line tool, and documentation. The xz_dec module is enough to have a usable XZ decompressor e.g. for Squashfs. Signed-off-by: Lasse Collin <lasse.collin@tukaani.org> Cc: "H.
