This option provides a kernel module that runs torture tests
on the RCU infrastructure. The kernel module may be built
after the fact on the running kernel to be tested, if desired.
- Say Y here if you want RCU torture tests to start automatically
- at boot time (you probably don't).
Say M if you want the RCU torture tests to build as a module.
Say N if you are unsure.
