Bug Description

[ Impact ]

 * The DKMS package fails to install on 5.0 kernels.

[ Test Case ]

 * Install the 'sysdig-dkms' package. It should build and install without any compilation failures.

[ Proposed Fix ]

 * Port the following patches:
   - https://github.com/draios/sysdig/commit/2c8f0263382bf64800faec5fba5cc3e005d9fb1e.patch
   - https://github.com/draios/sysdig/commit/3248bf70d677abe6f60bb9f8275a774600ed77e8.patch

Note: No real context adjustments required, offset updates were required to apply the patch to fixup the syscall table; "quilt refresh" updated offsets on the patch that was already in the package.

[ Regression Potential ]

 * Low. These changes are conditionally compiled.

[ Testing ]

The following instructions were used to test these changes on the 4.15 kernel that Bionic 18.04 ships with as well as the 5.0 kernel that is included in the HWE edge package on an amd64 environment.

- Create a Bionic 18.04 VM
- Enable the "-proposed" repository and install the linux-generic-hwe-18.04-edge package or install the .debs from here: https://launchpad.net/~canonical-kernel-team/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+packages?field.name_filter=linux-hwe-edge&field.status_filter=published&field.series_filter=bionic
- Install "sysdig-dkms" and confirm that installation fails because the module cannot be compiled
- Remove the failed install "sudo apt remove sysdig-dkms"
- Pull the sources with "pull-lp-source sysdig bionic"
- Apply the debdiff with "debdiff-apply < path-to-file.debdiff"
- Build the package with "debuild -b -uc -us"
- Install the package produced from the previous step with "sudo dpkg -i path-to-file.deb"
- Verify the installation completed successfully. You can also check to see if it appears with "sudo dkms status"

Hello Po-Hsu, or anyone else affected,

Accepted sysdig into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sysdig/0.19.1-1ubuntu1.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from verification-needed-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.
