archrandom.h includes <asm/machdep.h> to refer ppc_md. This causes circular header dependency, if generic nodemask.h includes random.h: In file included from include/linux/cred.h:16, from include/linux/seq_file.h:13, from arch/powerpc/include/asm/machdep.h:6, from arch/powerpc/include/asm/archrandom.h:5, from include/linux/random.h:109, from include/linux/nodemask.h:97, from include/linux/list_lru.h:12, from include/linux/fs.h:13, from include/linux/compat.h:17, from arch/powerpc/kernel/asm-offsets.c:12: include/linux/sched.h:1203:9: error: unknown type name 'nodemask_t' 1203 | nodemask_t mems_allowed; | ^~~~~~~~~~ Fix it by removing <asm/machdep.h> dependency from archrandom.h Now as arch_get_random_seed_long() moved to c-file, and not exported, it's not available for modules. As Michael Ellerman says: I think we actually don't need it exported to modules, I think it's a private detail of the RNG <-> architecture interface, not something that modules should be calling.

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. 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.
