+Event Profiling
+---------------
+ You can check the total number of probe hits and probe miss-hits via
+/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_profile.
+ The fist column is event name, the second is the number of probe hits,
+the third is the number of probe miss-hits.
+
+
 Usage examples
 --------------
 To add a probe as a new event, write a new definition to kprobe_events
