The test is wrong.  It doesn't accept -EINVAL as a valid failure.

tools/testing/selftests/mincore/mincore_selftest.c
   139  TEST(check_huge_pages)
   140  {
   141          unsigned char vec[1];
   142          char *addr;
   143          int retval;
   144          int page_size;
   145  
   146          page_size = sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE);
   147  
   148          errno = 0;
   149          addr = mmap(NULL, page_size, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
   150                  MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_HUGETLB,
   151                  -1, 0);
   152          if (addr == MAP_FAILED) {
   153                  if (errno == ENOMEM)

On Armv7 is a 32bit machine so HUGETLB isn't enabled and the errno can
be -EINVAL.  It's has returned this for 10 years.

   154                          SKIP(return, "No huge pages available.");
   155                  else
   156                          TH_LOG("mmap error: %s", strerror(errno));
   157          }
   158          retval = mincore(addr, page_size, vec);
   159          ASSERT_EQ(0, retval);

mm/mmap.c
  1405                  }
  1406          } else if (flags & MAP_HUGETLB) {
  1407                  struct hstate *hs;
  1408  
  1409                  hs = hstate_sizelog((flags >> MAP_HUGE_SHIFT) & MAP_HUGE_MASK);
  1410                  if (!hs)
  1411                          return -EINVAL;
                                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
hstate_sizelog() return NULL when CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE is disabled.

  1412  
  1413                  len = ALIGN(len, huge_page_size(hs));
