Please don't use "I" or "we" in commit messages. Also the grammar seems
not right here.

Maybe change the commit message to this:

resctrl_tests can be built or run using kselftests framework. Add
description on how to do so in README.

The "---" under titles are all same. This cannot tell readers clearly
topic hierarchies.

How about this?
+USE KSELFTEST FRAMEWORK

Run this as sudo or root.
+ $ sudo make -C tools/testing/selftests TARGETS=resctrl run_tests

resctrl will add more tests in the future. Running time may be longer in
the future. I would suggest to remove the "It takes about 68 seconds..." line.
