It's not because those IPIs are rare, but rather that they don't by themselves cause a monitered CPU to reach the latency threshold, it's usually a combined interference that gets us there. I'd like to make it easier to detect such misconfigurations and thus IPIs hitting supposedly-isolated CPUs. I initially kludged a timerlat option to stop tracing as soon as an IPI was sent to a monitored CPU, regardless of the latency threshold. It sort of did the trick, but Tomáš convinced me timerlat wasn't really the place for that.
