If you did CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST=y, then yes.

I do CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST=m so that I can just do a "modprobe rcutorture"
when I want to start the test. Also allows me to do several runs per boot
with different arguments.

I wonder if I should somehow exclude "=y" on this one -- I haven't come
up with any case where it is useful.

Thoughts?
