Cool! :)

I'd love to see either more of a commit log or more comments in the test
code itself. I had to spend a bit of time trying to understand how the
test was working. (i.e. using ucontext to "reset", using segv handler to
catch some of them, etc.) I have not yet figured out why you need to
send USR1/USR2 for two of them instead of direct calls?

I think you likely want three states: no signal, failed, and okay.
Perhaps -1 for "no signal" like you have above, zero for failed, and 1
for okay.

So this is set to 0: "I absolutely bypassed the protection".

Can you avoid compiler-specific pragmas? (Or verify that Clang also
behaves correctly here?) Maybe it's better to just build the entire file
with -O0 in the Makefile?

Set to 0, and if the segv doesn't see it, we know for sure it failed.

Does anything in siginfo_t indicate which kind of failure you're
detecting? It'd be nice to verify test_id matches the failure mode being
tested.

Then these are result[0] == -1 ? "untested" : (result[0] ? "OK" : "FAIL"))
