+KSelfTest ARM64
+===============
+
+- These tests are arm64 specific and so not built or run but just skipped
+ completely when env-variable ARCH is found to be different than 'arm64'
+ and `uname -m` reports other than 'aarch64'.
+
+- Holding true the above, ARM64 KSFT tests can be run within the KSelfTest
+ framework using standard Linux top-level-makefile targets:
+
+ $ make TARGETS=arm64 kselftest-clean
+ $ make TARGETS=arm64 kselftest
+
+ or
+
+ $ make -C tools/testing/selftests TARGETS=arm64 \
+ INSTALL_PATH=<your-installation-path> install
+
+ or, alternatively, only specific arm64/ subtargets can be picked:
+
+ $ make -C tools/testing/selftests TARGETS=arm64 ARM64_SUBTARGETS="tags signal" \
+ INSTALL_PATH=<your-installation-path> install
+
+ Further details on building and running KFST can be found in:
+ Documentation/dev-tools/kselftest.rst
