This issue tracks the release notes text for #131829.

Steps

Release notes text

The responsible team for the underlying change should edit this section to replace the automatically generated link with a succinct description of what changed, drawing upon text proposed by the author (either in discussion or through direct editing).

# Compatibility notes
- [The unstable `-Zprofile` flag (“gcov-style” coverage instrumentation) has been removed.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/131829) This does not affect the stable flags for coverage instrumentation (`-Cinstrument-coverage`) nor the profile-guided optimization (`-Cprofile-generate`, `-Cprofile-use`) flags, which are unrelated and remain stable.

[!TIP] Use the previous releases categories to help choose which one(s) to use. The category will be de-duplicated with all the other ones by the release team.

More than one section can be included if needed.

Release blog section

If the change is notable enough for inclusion in the blog post, the responsible team should add content to this section. Otherwise leave it empty.
