Linus Torvalds 24880bef41 Remove oprofile and dcookies support
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.
 
 The dcookies stuff is only used by the oprofile code. Now that oprofile's
 support is getting removed from the kernel, there is no need for dcookies as
 well.
 
 Remove kernel's old oprofile and dcookies support.

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.
