NAME

       /proc/profile - kernel profiling

DESCRIPTION

       /proc/profile (since Linux 2.4)
              This  file is present only if the kernel was booted with the profile=1 command-line
              option.  It exposes kernel profiling information in a  binary  format  for  use  by
              readprofile(1).   Writing (e.g., an empty string) to this file resets the profiling
              counters; on some architectures, writing a binary integer "profiling multiplier" of
              size sizeof(int) sets the profiling interrupt frequency.
