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.
