RSEQ_SIG is arch specific macro , following are result in my test system:

find / -name "*.h" | xargs grep RSEQ_SIG
/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/bits/rseq.h:#define RSEQ_SIG        0x53053053

dpkg -S /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/bits/rseq.h
libc6-dev:amd64: /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/bits/rseq.h

This case used to test against glibc's implementation, correct me if i am wrong.
Once i saw following commit in glibc, so i think we can use sched_getcpu 
do some sanity check for rseq implementation in glibc. 
1d350aa060 Linux: Use rseq to accelerate sched_getcpu

Thanks for your feedback, i have a question on test direction, which one is our target?

1) Check system call ONLY regardless glibc version/implementation then we move linux kernel test(as above link you mentioned) into our test.

2) Check glibc's implemenation for rseq(from 2.35), such as 1.check sched_getcpu, 2.check glibc API 
how to disable rseq feature which support automaticly from glibc start. (e3e589829d nptl: Add glibc.pthread.rseq tunable to control rseq registration). Then our target is move glibc test case to our test.
