[release-v1.21][gomod]: Bump go.opentelemetry.io/otel from 1.39.0 to 1.40.0

[dependabot]

Bumps go.opentelemetry.io/otel from 1.39.0 to 1.40.0.

Changelog

Sourced from go.opentelemetry.io/otel's changelog.

[1.40.0/0.62.0/0.16.0] 2026-02-02

Added

• Add AlwaysRecord sampler in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/trace. (#7724)
• Add Enabled method to all synchronous instrument interfaces (Float64Counter, Float64UpDownCounter, Float64Histogram, Float64Gauge, Int64Counter, Int64UpDownCounter, Int64Histogram, Int64Gauge,) in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/metric. This stabilizes the synchronous instrument enabled feature, allowing users to check if an instrument will process measurements before performing computationally expensive operations. (#7763)
• Add go.opentelemetry.io/otel/semconv/v1.39.0 package. The package contains semantic conventions from the v1.39.0 version of the OpenTelemetry Semantic Conventions. See the migration documentation for information on how to upgrade from go.opentelemetry.io/otel/semconv/v1.38.0. (#7783, #7789)

Changed

• Improve the concurrent performance of HistogramReservoir in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/metric/exemplar by 4x. (#7443)
• Improve the concurrent performance of FixedSizeReservoir in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/metric/exemplar. (#7447)
• Improve performance of concurrent histogram measurements in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/metric. (#7474)
• Improve performance of concurrent synchronous gauge measurements in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/metric. (#7478)
• Add experimental observability metrics in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/stdout/stdoutmetric. (#7492)
• Exporter in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/prometheus ignores metrics with the scope go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/bridges/prometheus. This prevents scrape failures when the Prometheus exporter is misconfigured to get data from the Prometheus bridge. (#7688)
• Improve performance of concurrent exponential histogram measurements in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/metric. (#7702)
• The rpc.grpc.status_code attribute in the experimental metrics emitted from go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp/otlptrace/otlptracegrpc is replaced with the rpc.response.status_code attribute to align with the semantic conventions. (#7854)
• The rpc.grpc.status_code attribute in the experimental metrics emitted from go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp/otlplog/otlploggrpc is replaced with the rpc.response.status_code attribute to align with the semantic conventions. (#7854)

Fixed

• Fix bad log message when key-value pairs are dropped because of key duplication in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/log. (#7662)
• Fix DroppedAttributes on Record in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/log to not count the non-attribute key-value pairs dropped because of key duplication. (#7662)
• Fix SetAttributes on Record in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/log to not log that attributes are dropped when they are actually not dropped. (#7662)
• Fix missing request.GetBody in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp/otlptrace/otlptracehttp to correctly handle HTTP/2 GOAWAY frame. (#7794)
• WithHostID detector in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/resource to use full path for ioreg command on Darwin (macOS). (#7818)

Deprecated

• Deprecate go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/zipkin. For more information, see the OTel blog post deprecating the Zipkin exporter. (#7670)

Hi @dependabot[bot]. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a openshift-knative member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

OK, I won't notify you again about this release, but will get in touch when a new version is available. If you'd rather skip all updates until the next major or minor version, let me know by commenting @dependabot ignore this major version or @dependabot ignore this minor version. You can also ignore all major, minor, or patch releases for a dependency by adding an ignore condition with the desired update_types to your config file.

If you change your mind, just re-open this PR and I'll resolve any conflicts on it.
