Merge tag 'linux-kselftest-next-6.6-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/shuah/linux-kselftest

Pull Kselftest updates from Shuah Khan:
 "A mix of fixes, enhancements, and new tests. Bulk of the changes
  enhance and fix rseq and resctrl tests.

  In addition, user_events, dmabuf-heaps and perf_events are added to
  default kselftest build and test coverage. A futex test fix, enhance
  prctl test coverage, and minor fixes are included in this update"
