I found that the 'stacktrace' seems like a stick bit. Run the above
'# trace-cmd start -e ipi_raise -R 'stacktrace if reason=="Function
call interrupts"' ... command sequence, then
# trace-cmd start -e ipi -f 'reason=="Function call interrupts"' -v -e
ipi_exit; taskset -c 0 insmod /kmods/ipi_lat.ko; trace-cmd stop;
trace-cmd show; trace-cmd clear;
The output is:

          insmod-1746    [000] dn.h1..   928.400039: ipi_raise:
target_mask=00000000,000000ffe (Function call interrupts)
          insmod-1746    [000] dn.h2..   928.400042: <stack trace>
 => trace_event_raw_event_ipi_raise
 => smp_cross_call
 => arch_send_call_function_single_ipi
 => send_call_function_single_ipi
...
Actually, the behavior hoped like this(no stacktrace):

          insmod-1677    [000] ....1..   473.474846: ipi_raise:
target_mask=00000000,00000ffe (Function call interrupts)
          <idle>-0       [002] d..h1..   473.474848: ipi_entry:
(Function call interrupts)
          <idle>-0       [003] d..h1..   473.474849: ipi_entry:
(Function call interrupts)
          ...
          insmod-1677    [000] ....1..   473.474859: ipi_raise:
target_mask=00000000,00000ffe (Function call interrupts)
          <idle>-0       [001] d..h1..   473.474861: ipi_entry:
(Function call interrupts) magic=0x55aa55aa
          ...

I tried to add '# trace-cmd stack --stop/reset' before the above
command, but it did not work. Any help to disable the 'stacktrace' in
this scenario?
