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>

+=======================================
+Peak Tops Limiter (PTL) sysfs Interface
+=======================================
+
+Overview
+--------
+The Peak Tops Limiter (PTL) sysfs interface enables users to control and
+configure the PTL feature for each GPU individually. All PTL-related
+sysfs files are located under `/sys/class/drm/cardX/device/ptl/`, where
+`X` is the GPU index. Through these files, users can enable or disable
+PTL, set preferred data formats, and query supported formats for each GPU.
+
+PTL sysfs files
+----------------
+The following files are available under `/sys/class/drm/cardX/device/ptl/`:
+
+- `ptl_enable`
+- `ptl_format`
+- `ptl_supported_formats`
+
+PTL Enable/Disable
+------------------
+File: `ptl_enable`
+Type: Read/Write (rw)
+
+Read: Returns the current PTL status as a string: `enabled` if PTL
+is active, or `disabled` if inactive.
+
+Write:
+
+- Write `1` or `enabled` to enable PTL
+- Write `0` or `disabled` to disable PTL
+
+Examples::
+
+ # Query PTL status
+ cat /sys/class/drm/card1/device/ptl/ptl_enable
+ # Output: enabled
+
+ # Enable PTL
+ sudo bash -c "echo 1 > /sys/class/drm/card1/device/ptl/ptl_enable"
+
+ # Disable PTL
+ sudo bash -c "echo 0 > /sys/class/drm/card1/device/ptl/ptl_enable"
+
+PTL Format (Preferred Data Formats)
+-----------------------------------
+File: `ptl_format`
+Type: Read/Write (rw)
+
+Read: Returns the two preferred formats, e.g. `I8,F32`.
+
+Write: Accepts two formats separated by a comma, e.g. `I8,F32`.
+
+- Both formats must be supported and different.
+- If an invalid format is provided (not supported, or both formats are the
+ same), the driver will return "write error: Invalid argument".
+
+Examples::
+
+ # Query PTL formats
+ cat /sys/class/drm/card1/device/ptl/ptl_format
+ # Output: I8,F32
+
+ # Set PTL formats
+ sudo bash -c "echo I8,F32 > /sys/class/drm/card1/device/ptl/ptl_format"
+
+Supported Formats
+-----------------
+File: `ptl_supported_formats`
+Type: Read-only (r)
+
+Read: Returns a comma-separated list of supported formats, e.g.
+`I8,F16,BF16,F32,F64`.
+
+Example::
+
+ # Check supported formats
+ cat /sys/class/drm/card1/device/ptl/ptl_supported_formats
+ # Output: I8,F16,BF16,F32,F64
+
+Behavioral Notes
+----------------
+- PTL formats can only be set when PTL is enabled.
+- If PTL is disabled, `ptl_format` returns `N/A`.
+- Only two formats can be set at a time, and they must be from the supported set and different..
+- All commands support per-GPU targeting.
+- Root permission is required to enable/disable PTL or change formats.
+- If the hardware does not support PTL, the PTL sysfs directory will not
+ be created.
+
+Implementation
+--------------
+The PTL sysfs nodes are implemented in `drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_psp.c`.
