Linus Torvalds df9a9ac7a4 random32: move the pseudo-random 32-bit definitions to prandom.h
commit c0842fbc1b upstream.

The addition of percpu.h to the list of includes in random.h revealed
some circular dependencies on arm64 and possibly other platforms.  This
include was added solely for the pseudo-random definitions, which have
nothing to do with the rest of the definitions in this file but are
still there for legacy reasons.

This patch moves the pseudo-random parts to linux/prandom.h and the
percpu.h include with it, which is now guarded by _LINUX_PRANDOM_H and
protected against recursive inclusion.

A further cleanup step would be to remove this from <linux/random.h>
entirely, and make people who use the prandom infrastructure include
just the new header file.  That's a bit of a churn patch, but grepping
for "prandom_" and "next_pseudo_random32" "struct rnd_state" should
catch most users.

But it turns out that that nice cleanup step is fairly painful, because
a _lot_ of code currently seems to depend on the implicit include of
<linux/random.h>, which can currently come in a lot of ways, including
such fairly core headfers as <linux/net.h>.

So the "nice cleanup" part may or may never happen.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

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.
