Merge tag 'linux-kselftest-next-5.10-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/shuah/linux-kselftest

Pull kselftest updates from Shuah Khan:

 - speed up headers_install done during selftest build

 - add generic make nesting support

 - add support to select individual tests:

   Selftests build/install generates run_kselftest.sh script to run
   selftests on a target system. Currently the script doesn't have
   support for selecting individual tests. Add support for it.

   With this enhancement, user can select test collections (or tests)
   individually. e.g:

      run_kselftest.sh -c seccomp -t timers:posix_timers -t timers:nanosleep

   Additionally adds a way to list all known tests with "-l", usage with
   "-h", and perform a dry run without running tests with "-n".

 Install selftests
 =================
 
-You can use the kselftest_install.sh tool to install selftests in the
-default location, which is tools/testing/selftests/kselftest, or in a
-user specified location.
+You can use the "install" target of "make" (which calls the `kselftest_install.sh`
+tool) to install selftests in the default location (`tools/testing/selftests/kselftest_install`),
+or in a user specified location via the `INSTALL_PATH` "make" variable.
 
 To install selftests in default location::
 
-   $ cd tools/testing/selftests
-   $ ./kselftest_install.sh
+   $ make -C tools/testing/selftests install
 
 To install selftests in a user specified location::
 
-   $ cd tools/testing/selftests
-   $ ./kselftest_install.sh install_dir
+   $ make -C tools/testing/selftests install INSTALL_PATH=/some/other/path
 
 Running installed selftests
 ===========================
 
-Kselftest install as well as the Kselftest tarball provide a script

+Found in the install directory, as well as in the Kselftest tarball,
+is a script named `run_kselftest.sh` to run the tests.
 
 You can simply do the following to run the installed Kselftests. Please
 note some tests will require root privileges::
 
-   $ cd kselftest
+   $ cd kselftest_install
    $ ./run_kselftest.sh
 
+To see the list of available tests, the `-l` option can be used::
+
+   $ ./run_kselftest.sh -l
+
+The `-c` option can be used to run all the tests from a test collection, or
+the `-t` option for specific single tests. Either can be used multiple times::
+
+   $ ./run_kselftest.sh -c bpf -c seccomp -t timers:posix_timers -t timer:nanosleep
+
+For other features see the script usage output, seen with the `-h` option.
