-USAGE ON SPECIFIC KERNEL BUILDS
+Usage on Specific Kernel Builds
+===============================
 
 It is sometimes desirable to torture RCU on a specific kernel build,
 for example, when preparing to put that kernel build into production.
 In that case, the kernel should be built with CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST=m
 so that the test can be started using modprobe and terminated using rmmod.
