Hello,
When I run cat "/proc/interrupts" I see:
PMI: 111 120 Performance monitoring interrupts
and these counters keep advancing.
Are these Performance monitoring interrupts a result of some
service/daemon ?
They come from NMI. They are harmless.
Is there a way to disable Performance monitoring interrupts by some
sysfs entry ?
If you really want to turn off NMI then you can add the following kernel command line
argument: nmi_watchdog=0
