NAME         top

       /proc/profile - kernel profiling

DESCRIPTION         top

       /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.
