doc: Update the name of profiling based on sysfs The ./kernel/ksysfs.c defines 'profiling' w/o 'profile' like "KERNEL_ATTR_RW(profiling)". We need to synchronize the content between ksys.c source and kernel doc. Signed-off-by: Hyeonjun Lim <hjoon0510@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz>

What: /sys/kernel/profiling
profiling: dynamically enable readprofile at runtime Way too often, I have a machine that exhibits some kind of crappy behavior. The CPU looks wedged in the kernel or it is spending way too much system time and I wonder what is responsible. I try to run readprofile. But, of course, Ubuntu doesn't enable it by default. Dang! The reason we boot-time enable it is that it takes a big bufffer that we generally can only bootmem alloc. But, does it hurt to at least try and runtime-alloc it? To use: echo 2 > /sys/kernel/profile Then run readprofile like normal. This should fix the compile issue with allmodconfig. I've compile-tested on a bunch more configs now including a few more architectures.

/sys/kernel/profiling is the runtime equivalent

of the boot-time profile= option.
You can get the same effect running:

as you would by issuing profile=2 on the boot
command line.
