Hi,
When looking at the IPI counts in /proc/interrupts, there are always
IPI1 happened on isolated cpus, even if the cpus had been idle with
nohz. However, we should bother these cpus as less as possible.
The IPI1 were raised by flush_icache_range in bpf_int_jit_compile().
Futher, the calling of it was introduced in 3b8c9f1cdfc5("arm64:
IPI each CPU after invalidating the I-cache for kernel mappings"),
then I found the bpf case seems no need this operation. But I'm not
sure, and still learning the JIT codes meanwhile. If I am wrong,
please fix me, many thanks!
