aaa2975f2b lib/xz: Add MicroLZMA decoder
MicroLZMA is a yet another header format variant where the first
byte of a raw LZMA stream (without the end of stream marker) has
been replaced with a bitwise-negation of the lc/lp/pb properties
byte. MicroLZMA was created to be used in EROFS but can be used
by other things too where wasting minimal amount of space for
headers is important.

This is implemented using most of the LZMA2 code as is so the
amount of new code is small. The API has a few extra features
compared to the XZ decoder. On the other hand, the API lacks
XZ_BUF_ERROR support which is important to take into account
when using this API.

MicroLZMA doesn't support BCJ filters. In theory they could be
added later as there are many unused/reserved values for the
first byte of the compressed stream but in practice it is
somewhat unlikely to happen due to a few implementation reasons.

242cdad873 lib/xz: Put CRC32_POLY_LE in xz_private.h
This fixes a regression introduced by faa16bc404 ("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.

81d6743985 XZ: Fix missing <linux/kernel.h> include
<linux/kernel.h> is needed for min_t. The old version
happened to work on x86 because <asm/unaligned.h>
indirectly includes <linux/kernel.h>, but it didn't
work on ARM.

<linux/kernel.h> includes <asm/byteorder.h> so it's
not necessary to include it explicitly anymore.

24fa0402a9 decompressors: add XZ decompressor module
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got superseded by the .xz format.  Similarly, LZMA Utils was superseded by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.
