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>

+ depends on PARPORT
+ help
+ PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
+ reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
+ local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
+ install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
+ CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
+ first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
+ enabled for this to work.
+
+ The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
+ ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
+ with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
+ bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
+ bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
+ time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
+ <file:Documentation/networking/plip.rst>. The cables can be up to
+ 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
+ and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
+ driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)
+ and winsock or NCSA's telnet.
+
+ If you want to use PLIP, say Y and read the PLIP mini-HOWTO as well
+ as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from
+ <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Note that the PLIP
+ protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together
+ with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges
+ your kernel by about 8 KB.
+
+ To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
+ will be called plip. If unsure, say Y or M, in case you buy
+ a laptop later.
