[PATCH 00/18] drivers: Remove oprofile and dcookies

From: Viresh Kumar
Date: Thu Jan 14 2021 - 23:19:25 EST


Hello,

The "oprofile" user-space tools don't use the kernel OPROFILE support
any more, and haven't in a long time. User-space has been converted to
the perf interfaces.

Remove oprofile and dcookies (whose only user is oprofile) support from
the kernel.

This was suggested here [1] earlier.

This is build/boot tested by kernel test robot (Intel) and Linaro's
Tuxmake[2] for a lot of architectures and no failures were reported.
