This would finalize (fix?) this commit 8e9fa2f21151 (oprofiled version output line removed from the list) Maybe add some reasoning (To reduce it's OS jitter or because it's a leftover link) And if it's the way to handle translations remove: Documentation/translations/it_IT/process/changes.rst:- <https://oprofile.sf.net/download/> Documentation/translations/pt_BR/process/changes.rst:- <https://oprofile.sf.net/download/> I have no clue about the technical side, that's why I'm asking: Can this be removed aswell? arch/sparc/kernel/nmi.c:atomic_t nmi_active = ATOMIC_INIT(0); /* oprofile uses this */ Thanks Manuel > > Signed-off-by: Bhaskar Chowdhury <unixbhaskar@gmail.com> > --- > Documentation/process/changes.rst | 4 ---- > 1 file changed, 4 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/Documentation/process/changes.rst b/Documentation/process/changes.rst > index 0aa232b117b5..336c07190c9b 100644 > --- a/Documentation/process/changes.rst > +++ b/Documentation/process/changes.rst > @@ -556,10 +556,6 @@ Ip-route2 > > - <https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/net/iproute2/> > > -OProfile > --------- > - > -- <https://oprofile.sf.net/download/> > > Kernel documentation > ******************** > -- > 2.54.0 >
