The Kselftests
--------------
Kselftests are also available in the ``tools/testing/selftests/rust`` folder.
The kernel config options required for the tests are listed in the
``tools/testing/selftests/rust/config`` file and can be included with the aid
of the ``merge_config.sh`` script::
./scripts/kconfig/merge_config.sh .config tools/testing/selftests/rust/config
The kselftests are built within the kernel source tree and are intended to
be executed on a system that is running the same kernel.
Once a kernel matching the source tree has been installed and booted, the
tests can be compiled and executed using the following command::
make TARGETS="rust" kselftest
Refer to Documentation/dev-tools/kselftest.rst for the general Kselftest
documentation.
