This is useful to return an information about the error without being
able to write to TH_LOG_STREAM.

Helpers from test_harness.h may be useful outside of the seccomp
directory.

Why the reduction here? int is signed too?

Because the return code of a process is capped to 8 bits and I use a
negative value to not mess with the current interpretation of 0 (error)
and 1 (OK) for the "passed" variable.

Instead of creating an overloaded mechanism here, perhaps have an
option reporting mechanism that can be enabled. Like adding to
__test_metadata "bool no_stream; int test_number;" and adding
test_number++ to each ASSERT/EXCEPT call, and doing something like:

if (t->no_stream) {
                              fprintf(TH_LOG_STREAM,
                                      "%s: Failed at step #%d\n",
                                      t->name,
                                       t->test_number);
}

It'd be a cleaner approach, maybe?

Good idea, we will then be able to use 255 steps!

Do you want me to send this as a separate patch?

Can we move test_harness.h outside of the seccomp directory to be
available to other subsystems as well?
