-default location, which is tools/testing/selftests/kselftest, or in a
-user specified location.
+You can use the "install" target of "make" (which calls the `kselftest_install.sh`
+tool) to install selftests in the default location (`tools/testing/selftests/kselftest_install`),
+or in a user specified location via the `INSTALL_PATH` "make" variable.

To install selftests in default location::

- $ cd tools/testing/selftests
- $ ./kselftest_install.sh
+ $ make -C tools/testing/selftests install

To install selftests in a user specified location::

- $ cd tools/testing/selftests
- $ ./kselftest_install.sh install_dir
+ $ make -C tools/testing/selftests install INSTALL_PATH=/some/other/path
