The document has not been touched in over 11 years and doesn't reflect how
profiling is done in the perf era.

-Basic kernel profiling
-======================
-
-
-These instructions are deliberately very basic. If you want something clever,
-go read the real docs ;-)
-
-Please don't add more stuff, but feel free to
-correct my mistakes ;-)    (mbligh@aracnet.com)
-
-Thanks to John Levon, Dave Hansen, et al. for help writing this.
-
-``<test>`` is the thing you're trying to measure.
-Make sure you have the correct ``System.map`` / ``vmlinux`` referenced!
-
-It is probably easiest to use ``make install`` for linux and hack
-``/sbin/installkernel`` to copy ``vmlinux`` to ``/boot``, in addition to
-``vmlinuz``, ``config``, ``System.map``, which are usually installed by default.
-
-Readprofile
------------
-
-A recent ``readprofile`` command is needed for 2.6, such as found in util-linux
-2.12a, which can be downloaded from:
-
-	http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/
-
-Most distributions will ship it already.
-
-Add ``profile=2`` to the kernel command line.
-
-Some ``readprofile`` commands::
-
-	clear		readprofile -r
-			<test>
-	dump output	readprofile -m /boot/System.map > captured_profile
-
-Oprofile
---------
-
-Get the source (see Changes for required version) from
-http://oprofile.sourceforge.net/ and add ``idle=poll`` to the kernel command
-line.
-
-Configure with ``CONFIG_PROFILING=y`` and ``CONFIG_OPROFILE=y`` & reboot on new kernel::
-
-	./configure --with-kernel-support
-	make install
-
-For superior results, be sure to enable the local APIC. If opreport sees
-a 0Hz CPU, APIC was not on. Be aware that idle=poll may mean a performance
-penalty.
-
-One time setup::
-
-			opcontrol --setup --vmlinux=/boot/vmlinux
-
-Some ``opcontrol`` commands::
-
-	clear		opcontrol --reset
-	start		opcontrol --start
-		<test>
-	stop		opcontrol --stop
-	dump output	opreport >  output_file
-
-To only report on the kernel, run ``opreport -l /boot/vmlinux > output_file``
-
-A reset is needed to clear old statistics, which survive a reboot.
