<title>torture: Remove support for SRCU-lite</title>

<content type='text'>
Because SRCU-lite is being replaced by SRCU-fast, this commit removes
support for SRCU-lite from refscale.c.

Both SRCU-lite and SRCU-fast provide faster readers by dropping the
smp_mb() call from their lock and unlock primitives, but incur a pair
of added RCU grace periods during the SRCU grace period.  There is a
trivial mapping from the SRCU-lite API to that of SRCU-fast, so there
should be no transition issues.

<title>refscale: Check that nreaders and loops multiplication doesn't overflow</title>

<id>005b6187705bc9723518ce19c5cb911fc1f7ef07</id>
<content type='text'>
The nreaders and loops variables are exposed as module parameters, which,
in certain combinations, can lead to multiplication overflow.

Besides, loops parameter is defined as long, while through the code is
used as int, which can cause truncation on 64-bit kernels and possible
zeroes where they shouldn't appear.

Since code uses result of multiplication as int anyway, it only makes sense
to replace loops with int. Multiplication overflow check is also added
due to possible multiplication between two very big numbers.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

Fixes: 653ed64b01dc ("refperf: Add a test to measure performance of read-side synchronization")

<title>rcuscale: Add guest_os_delay module parameter</title>

<id>ff9ba8db87222be8d344f7c1cc3c28b1e22f6429</id>
<content type='text'>
This commit adds a guest_os_delay module parameter that extends warm-up
and cool-down the specified number of seconds before and after the series
of test runs.  This allows the data-collection intervals from any given
rcuscale guest OSes to line up with active periods in the other rcuscale
guest OSes, and also allows the thermal warm-up period required to obtain
consistent results from one test to the next.

<title>refscale: Correct affinity check</title>

<id>046c06f5ba97b31da189396e922ebff3f502518e</id>
<content type='text'>
The current affinity check works fine until there are more reader
processes than CPUs, at which point the affinity check is looking for
non-existent CPUs.  This commit therefore applies the same modulus to
the check as is present in the set_cpus_allowed_ptr() call.
