Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 5/5] torture: Make jitter.sh handle large systems

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@...nel.org>

The current jitter.sh script expects cpumask bits to fit into whatever
the awk interpreter uses for an integer, which clearly does not hold for
even medium-sized systems these days.  This means that on a large system,
only the first 32 or 64 CPUs (depending) are subjected to jitter.sh
CPU-time perturbations.  This commit therefore computes a given CPU's
cpumask using text manipulation rather than arithmetic shifts.
