The memory allocation profiling document was added to the bottom of the new outline. Apparently it was not decided by well-defined guidelines or a thorough discussions. Rather than that, it was added there just because there was no place for such unsorted documents. Now there is the chapter. Move the document to the new place.

Memory Management Documentation
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
This is a guide to understanding the memory management subsystem
|
|
of Linux. If you are looking for advice on simply allocating memory,
|
|
see the :ref:`memory_allocation`. For controlling and tuning guides,
|
|
see the :doc:`admin guide <../admin-guide/mm/index>`.

Unsorted Documentation
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
This is a collection of unsorted documents about the Linux memory management
|
|
(MM) subsystem internals with different level of details ranging from notes and
|
|
mailing list responses for elaborating descriptions of data structures and
|
|
algorithms. It should all be integrated nicely into the above structured
|
|
documentation, or deleted if it has served its purpose.
