Subject: lib/xz: use size_t instead of uint32_t in a few places
Date: Sun, 14 Jun 2026 19:05:17 +0300

Reduce the number of uint32_t <-> size_t conversions a little. 
Eliminating such conversions entirely would require changing almost all
uint32_t to size_t, which would look confusing and increase the sizes of
the structs even more.  Going the other way, converting everything to
uint32_t, isn't possible because the input and output buffers use size_t
in struct xz_buf.

Now both arguments to min() have the same type.  This is required to for
compatibility with PowerPC boot code[1] whose min() is strict like
include/linux/minmax.h was before the commit d03eba99f5bf ("minmax: allow
min()/max()/clamp() if the arguments have the same signedness.").

Swap the order of the "state" and "len" in struct lzma_dec to avoid
padding in the middle of the struct when size_t is 64 bits.  The
reordering doesn't change the size of the struct; the padding just appears
at the end instead.

dict_flush() used to truncate size_t to uint32_t when returning.  This
wasn't a bug; the value is always small enough.
