The build failure reported in [1] occurred because commit <9fc96c7c19df>
("selftests: error out if kernel header files are not yet built") added
a new "kernel_header_files" dependency to "all", and that triggered
another, pre-existing problem. Specifically, the arm64 selftests
override the emit_tests target, and that override improperly declares
itself to depend upon the "all" target.
This is a problem because the "emit_tests" target in lib.mk was not
intended to be overridden. emit_tests is a very simple, sequential build
target that was originally invoked from the "install" target, which in
turn, depends upon "all".
That approach worked for years. But with

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:
