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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
