<linux/percpu.h> include was removed from <linux/prandom.h> ind9f29deb7f("prandom: Remove unused include") because this inclusion broke arm64 due to a circular dependency on include files. __percpu tag is defined in include/linux/compiler_types.h, so there is currently no direct need for the inclusion of <linux/percpu.h>. However, in [1] we would like to repurpose __percpu tag as a named address space qualifier, where __percpu macro uses defines from <linux/percpu.h>. The circular dependency was removed in ddd8e37ebaa1 ("random: Do not include <linux/prandom.h> in <linux/random.h>") and it cleared the path for the inclusion of <linux/percpu.h> in <linux/prandom.h>. This patch is basically a revert ofd9f29deb7f("prandom: Remove unused include").

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 reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
