Working through my email. Yes I see Michael had comments on install.
I would have the same ones. Please re-do the patch 2/5 to use shared
logic and install framework in lib.mk. This need to be done to
facilitate test install. If you were to create a script for running
tests, please make it non-generic and unique. For example, run.sh
is a very generic name.

[PATCH 2/5] selftest/futex: Update Makefile to use lib.mk

I took a quick look at the exit code discussion. If you would
like improve what is in kselftest.h, please re-do that patch.

[PATCH 5/5] kselftest: Add exit code defines

You can wait to re-do patches. I am planning to review the
patch set later on this week. That way you can avoid re-spin
just in case, I have other comments.

thanks,
