/**
 * @defgroup RTEMSAPIProfiling Profiling Support
 *
 * @ingroup RTEMSAPI
 *
 * @brief The profiling support offers functions to report profiling
 * information available in the system.
 *
 * Profiling support is by default disabled.  It must be enabled via the
 * configure command line with the <tt>--enable-profiling</tt> option.  In this
 * case the RTEMS_PROFILING pre-processor symbol is defined and profiling
 * statistics will be gathered during system run-time.  The profiling support
 * increases the time of critical sections and has some memory overhead.  The
 * overhead should be acceptable for most applications.  The aim of the
 * profiling implementation is to be available even for production systems so
 * that verification is simplified.
 *
 * Profiling information includes critical timing values such as the maximum
 * time of disabled thread dispatching which is a measure for the thread
 * dispatch latency.  On SMP configurations statistics of all SMP locks in the
 * system are available.
 *
 * Profiling information can be retrieved via rtems_profiling_iterate() and
 * reported as an XML dump via rtems_profiling_report_xml().  These functions
 * are always available, but actual profiling data is only available if enabled
 * at build configuration time.
