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 readpro
          file(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.
