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. This commits stops building oprofile for powerpc and removes any reference to it from directories in arch/powerpc/ apart from arch/powerpc/oprofile, which will be removed in the next commit (this is broken into two commits as the size of the commit became very big, ~5k lines). Note that the member "oprofile_cpu_type" in "struct cpu_spec" isn't removed as it was also used by other parts of the code.

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.
