In the pstore compression part, we use zlib/lzo/lz4/lz4hc/842 compression algorithm API to implement pstore compression backends. But there are many repeat codes in these implementations. This patch uses crypto compress API to simplify these codes. 1) rewrite allocate_buf_for_compression, free_buf_for_compression, pstore_compress, pstore_decompress functions using crypto compress API. 2) drop compress, decompress, allocate, free functions in pstore_zbackend, and add zbufsize function to get each different compress buffer size. 3) use late_initcall to call ramoops_init later, to make sure the crypto subsystem has already initialized. 4) use 'unsigned int' type instead of 'size_t' in pstore_compress, pstore_decompress functions' length arguments. 5) rename 'zlib' to 'deflate' to follow the crypto API's name convention.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
