Documentation: kselftest: "make headers" is a prerequisite
As per a discussion with Muhammad Usama Anjum [1], the following is how one is supposed to build selftests: make headers && make -C tools/testing/selftests/mm However, that's not yet documented anywhere. So add it to Documentation/dev-tools/kselftest.rst .
