+.TH proc_profile 5 (date) "Linux man-pages (unreleased)"
+.SH NAME
+/proc/profile \- kernel profiling
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.TP
+.IR /proc/profile " (since Linux 2.4)"
+This file is present only if the kernel was booted with the
+.I profile=1
+command-line option.
+It exposes kernel profiling information in a binary format for use by
+.BR 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
+.I sizeof(int)
+sets the profiling interrupt frequency.
