linux v4.15 ftbfs on a newer host kernel (e.g. hwe)

also in cosmic:
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/418308401/buildlog_ubuntu-cosmic-amd64.linux-oracle_4.15.0-1009.11_BUILDING.txt.gz

the same 4.15 kernel is getting built on b/c/d/e, and scripts/selinux/genheaders/genheaders.c includes the local header files, specifically <sys/socket.h>:
#include <sys/socket.h>
which define PF_MAX (via AF_MAX) as 45 for cosmic and later. however genheaders.c also:
#include "classmap.h"
which is security/selinux/include/classmap.h and that does:
#if PF_MAX > 44
#error New address family defined, please update secclass_map.
#endif

$ git grep AF_MAX ubuntu/bionic/master-next socket.h
ubuntu/bionic/master-next:socket.h:#define AF_MAX 44 /* For now.. */
ubuntu/bionic/master-next:socket.h:#define PF_MAX AF_MAX
$ git grep AF_MAX ubuntu/cosmic/master-next socket.h
ubuntu/cosmic/master-next:socket.h:#define AF_MAX 45 /* For now.. */
ubuntu/cosmic/master-next:socket.h:#define PF_MAX AF_MAX
$ git grep AF_MAX ubuntu/disco/master-next socket.h
ubuntu/disco/master-next:socket.h:#define AF_MAX 45 /* For now.. */
ubuntu/disco/master-next:socket.h:#define PF_MAX AF_MAX
$ git grep AF_MAX ubuntu/eoan/master-next socket.h
ubuntu/eoan/master-next:socket.h:#define AF_MAX 45 /* For now.. */
ubuntu/eoan/master-next:socket.h:#define PF_MAX AF_MAX

This is probably a bug that should be fixed in genheaders.c upstream, although I don't quite understand why the 4.15 linux-oracle kernel is getting built on cosmic, disco, or eoan.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This is difficult because security/selinux/ doesn't use the *actual* kernel headers for the kernel being built to get the AF_MAX/PF_MAX defines; those are not included in the kernel uapi headers. Instead, those defines come from /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/bits/socket.h which is provided by:
$ dpkg -S bits/socket.h
libc6-dev:amd64: /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/bits/socket.h

It's up to the kernel team to manage kernel bugs.

Are you linux-oracle maintainer?

I only play one on TV.

This bug is missing log files that will aid in diagnosing the problem. While running an Ubuntu kernel (not a mainline or third-party kernel) please enter the following command in a terminal window:

apport-collect 1823429

and then change the status of the bug to 'Confirmed'.

If, due to the nature of the issue you have encountered, you are unable to run this command, please add a comment stating that fact and change the bug status to 'Confirmed'.

This change has been made by an automated script, maintained by the Ubuntu Kernel Team.

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-bionic' to 'verification-done-bionic'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-bionic' to 'verification-failed-bionic'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

linux_4.15.0-54.58.dsc -> cannot be built on eoan. and failed very quckily.

linux_4.15.0-55.60.dsc -> builds for a very long time until my machine runs out of disk space. And does get past the beginning of the build where it fails.
