Currently the bpf selftests are skipped by default, so is someone would like to run the tests one would need to run: $ make TARGETS=bpf SKIP_TARGETS="" kselftest
To overwrite the SKIP_TARGETS that defines bpf by default. Also, following the BPF instructions[1], to run the bpf selftests one would need to enter in the tools/testing/selftests/bpf/ directory, and then run make, which is not the standard way to run selftests per it's documentation.
For the reasons above stop mentioning bpf in the kselftests as examples of how to run a test suite.
