Please review the feedback I provided to your first version. I do not
see the changelog improvements that describe how a user may use the
kselftest framework to run the resctrl tests nor the requested information
on how existing workflows are impacted. Going back through my previous review
feedback to ensure that all is addressed is very time consuming and causes
considerable delay when needing to review newer versions. 

tools/testing/selftests/resctrl/README should be updated also

This is clear from the diffstat. You could elaborate why the changes were
needed instead and do so without the "This commit" usage.

Why is the meaning of "EXTRA_SOURCES" (i.e. what is "extra"?) and
why is "SRCS" no longer sufficient?
