[ Upstream commitd7a49291d7] The "bti" selftests are built with -nostdlib, which apparently automatically creates a statically linked binary, which is what we want and need for BTI (to avoid interactions with the dynamic linker). However this is not true when building a PIE binary, which some toolchains (Ubuntu) configure as the default. When compiling btitest with such a toolchain, it will create a dynamically linked binary, which will probably fail some tests, as the dynamic linker might not support BTI: =================== TAP version 13 1..18 not ok 1 nohint_func/call_using_br_x0 not ok 2 nohint_func/call_using_br_x16 not ok 3 nohint_func/call_using_blr .... =================== To make sure we create static binaries, add an explicit -static on the linker command line. This forces static linking even if the toolchain defaults to PIE builds, and fixes btitest runs on BTI enabled machines.

KSelfTest ARM64
===============
- These tests are arm64 specific and so not built or run but just skipped
completely when env-variable ARCH is found to be different than 'arm64'
and `uname -m` reports other than 'aarch64'.
- Holding true the above, ARM64 KSFT tests can be run within the KSelfTest
framework using standard Linux top-level-makefile targets:
$ make TARGETS=arm64 kselftest-clean
$ make TARGETS=arm64 kselftest
or
$ make -C tools/testing/selftests TARGETS=arm64 \
INSTALL_PATH=<your-installation-path> install
or, alternatively, only specific arm64/ subtargets can be picked:
$ make -C tools/testing/selftests TARGETS=arm64 ARM64_SUBTARGETS="tags signal" \
INSTALL_PATH=<your-installation-path> install
