Re: [PATCH v4 2/2] selftests: Add a test mangling with uc_sigmask

I see nothing wrong, but perhaps this test can be simplified?
Feel free to ignore.

You could simply do sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, NULL, &oldset) and check if
SIGSEGV is blocked in oldset. SIG_SETMASK has no effect if newset == NULL.

Likewise,

The caller (main) can do the same rather than raise(SIGUSR2).

But again, I won't insist.
