What do you mean with "oprofile is broken"? It looks like you modified
Kconfig to enable oprofile and perf in parallel, which is not intended
to work. Have you tried a kernel with oprofile disabled and perf
enabled?

As said, oprofile version 0.9.x is still available for cpus that do
not support perf. What is the breakage?

Thanks,
