The MTE selftests create temporary files in /dev/shm, for later mmap-ing
them. When there is no tmpfs mounted on /dev/shm, or /dev/shm does not
exist in the first place (on minimal filesystems), the error message is
not giving good hints:
# FAIL: Unable to open temporary file
# FAIL: memory allocation
not ok 17 Check initial tags with private mapping, ...
Add a perror() call, that gives both the filename and the actual error
reason, so that users get a chance of correcting that.

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
Further details on building and running KFST can be found in:
