Which run_kselftest.sh are you referring to, the one in the parent directory?

How to invoke it to run these mm tests?

(I never dared invoking something different than
run_vmtests.sh ;) )

IIRC, we recently converted all to TEST_GEN_PROGS. See

commit aef6fde75d8c6c1cad4a0e017a8d4cbee2143723
Author: Peter Xu <peterx@redhat.com>
Date:   Wed Apr 12 12:42:18 2023 -0400

     selftests/mm: use TEST_GEN_PROGS where proper
     
     TEST_GEN_PROGS and TEST_GEN_FILES are used randomly in the mm/Makefile to
     specify programs that need to build.  Logically all these binaries should
     all fall into TEST_GEN_PROGS.
     
     Replace those TEST_GEN_FILES with TEST_GEN_PROGS, so that we can reference
     all the tests easily later.


Why is that change required, and how does it interact with
run_kselftest.sh? (Not clear from you patch description.)
