- if profile --nmi kernel uses NMI watchdog based sampling based on Intel architecture performance counters - using NMI makes kernel profiling possible - watchdog kernel lockup detection is disabled while sampling as we may get unpredictable interrupts in kernel and thus possibly many false positives - if watchdog is not enabled at boot time, profiling enables it and turns it of again when done |
