These patches add a (de)compression module for the "zlib" format using the crypto API: [1] crypto: Add a zlib crypto module [2] tcrypt: Add a self test for the zlib crypto module [3] squashfs: Switch from zlib/inflate to "zlib" crypto module The last patch is a proof-of-concept to make SquashFS 3.4 use this new zlib crypto module. This makes it easier to e.g. change the decompression algorithm in SquashFS or to make use of a hardware-accelerated zlib crypto module. It can be extended to other compressed file systems, like e.g. AxFS and CRAMFS. All comments are welcome. Thanks!
