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.
