Linux buildbots with the vm_socket.h kernel header?
Hi folks,
https://bugs.python.org/issue27584 is an RFE to add AF_VSOCK support to the socket module at least when the appropriate Linux system headers are available.
https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/2489 aims to implement that RFE, but the config check is failing in pre-merge CI - the required kernel header isn't being found.
We think that's just because Ubuntu 14.04 is too old to have the required header, and even though recent versions of RHEL/CentOS at least nominally have the kernel module available, we're not sure the required header is actually going to be present there either (it definitely isn't there in the CentOS 7.3.1611 docker image, and RHEL 7.4 is currently still in beta, so even if it does include the necessary header, we definitely aren't running it on any of our current buildbots)
So my question is: are any of our current buildbots running sufficiently recent Linux distros that they actually have this header?
If not, it would probably make sense to wait for at least one of them to be updated before we accept the change.
Cheers, Nick.

Root AMD64 "Bruce" doesn't currently (Debian Jessie), but the latest stable of Debian (Stretch) should include it, so I could upgrade it if that would help.

I have an Ubuntu 16.04 box I could run a builder on.

Sorry it's taken this long for me to get back to this. If you're still interested in running that bot, send me a private mail and I'll get you set up.
