Setting Up Your System for Kernel Profiling
Profiling the Kernel and Load Together
A few of the recorded fields in kernel experiments have a different meaning from the same fields in user-mode experiments. A user-mode experiment contains data for a single process ID only; a kernel experiment has data that may apply to many different process IDs. To better present that information, some of the field labels in the Analyzer have different meanings in the two types of experiments, as shown in the following table.

For example, in an kernel experiment, if you want to filter only a few process IDs, enter the PIDs of interest in the LWP filter field in the Filter Data dialog box.
