Subject: [patch V3 05/14] x86/irq: Suppress unlikely interrupt stats by default
Date: Thu, 26 Mar 2026 22:56:57 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260326215036.578625795@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20260326214345.019130211@kernel.org

Unlikely interrupt counters like the spurious vector and the synthetic APIC
ICR read retry show up in /proc/interrupts with all counts 0 most of the
time.

As these are events which should never happen, suppress them by default and
enable them for output when they actually happen.
