NAME
/proc/profile - kernel profilingDESCRIPTION
/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.SEE ALSO
