scftorture: Count single_rpc offline failures in statistics outputgrafted
scf_torture_stats_print() aggregates each invoker thread's counters into a local scf_statistics structure before printing, but the n_single_rpc_ofl field is missing from the aggregation loop. As a result, the "single_rpc_ofl" value printed in the statistics line is always zero, even when smp_call_function_single() invocations for the RPC test have failed due to offline CPUs and been counted by the invoker threads. Add the missing accumulation so that the printed value reflects the actual counts. Signed-off-by: Joel Fernandes <joelagnelf@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>

+What: /sys/class/backlight/<backlight>/scale
+Date: July 2019
+KernelVersion: 5.4
+Contact: Daniel Thompson <daniel.thompson@linaro.org>
+Description:
+ Description of the scale of the brightness curve.
+
+ The human eye senses brightness approximately logarithmically,
+ hence linear changes in brightness are perceived as being
+ non-linear. To achieve a linear perception of brightness changes
+ controls like sliders need to apply a logarithmic mapping for
+ backlights with a linear brightness curve.
+
+ Possible values of the attribute are:
+
+ unknown
+ The scale of the brightness curve is unknown.
+
+ linear
+ The brightness changes linearly with each step. Brightness
+ controls should apply a logarithmic mapping for a linear
+ perception.
+
+ non-linear
+ The brightness changes non-linearly with each step. Brightness
+ controls should use a linear mapping for a linear perception.

+Description:
+ (RO) Get conversion value of the light sensor.
+
+ The value is automatically updated every 80 ms when the
+ light sensor is enabled.
+
+ The value range is device-driver specific:
+
+ For ADP8870:
+
+ It returns integer between 0 (dark) and 8000 (max ambient
+ brightness).
+
+ For ADP8860:
+
+ It returns a 13-bits integer.

+Description:
+ (RW) Read or write the specific brightness level at which the
+ backlight operates.
+
+ The value meaning is device-driver specific:
+
+ For ADP8860:
+
+ == ==========================
+ 0 Off: Backlight set to 0 mA
+ 1 Level 1: daylight
+ 2 Level 2: bright
+ 3 Level 3: dark
+ == ==========================
+
+ For ADP8870:
+
+ == ==========================
+ 0 Off: Backlight set to 0 mA
+ 1 Level 1: daylight
+ 2 Level 2: bright
+ 3 Level 3: office
+ 4 Level 4: indoor
+ 5 Level 5: dark
+ == ==========================
+
+ Writing 0 returns to normal/automatic ambient light level
+ operation.
+
+ It can be enabled by writing the value stored in
+ /sys/class/backlight/<backlight>/max_brightness to
+ /sys/class/backlight/<backlight>/brightness.
