Hi.

So, we clarified that some of the problems were not caused by the kernel
at all. The only thing missing is support to probe_read_kernel and
probe_read_user on 4.15 kernels. Is that needed for the offering?

If I didn't get it right, I am sorry. So, in order for us to meet your
expectations, I'll try to understand better what are the needs here:

1) Do you want support on 4.15 kernel on Ubuntu 18.04, right? Or is the
offering based on Ubuntu 20.04?

2) Do you expect to be able to use LLVM/clang 10? Or is LLVM/clang 8
sufficient for your needs? The bug has only been open for the linux
package, so we would need to get folks behind LLVM involved, or try to
fix this on the kernel somehow, which might delay things a little. Being
able to use LLVM/clang 8, it seems, would be a best fit to a short
deadline.

3) Building and running samples/bpf/ is not something we test. And
though it might help us catch regressions, I would suppose it's not a
requirement for the offering. If I am wrong in that supposition, are you
relying on the source package for something? Or is anything shipped in
binary packages incorrect (like that s930x typo) preventing things from
building correctly?

Right now, the best course we have, in case what you need is the probe
functions on 4.15 is to get this available on a kernel in -proposed in 3
weeks, and in -updates in 6 weeks. Would that work?

Thank you.
Cascardo.
