It exposes kernel profiling information in a binary format for use by readpro‐\nfile(1).  Writing (e.g., an empty string) to this file resets the profiling  counters;\non  some  architectures,  writing  a  binary  integer  \"profiling  multiplier\" of size\nsizeof(int) sets the profiling interrupt frequency.\n",
