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.
