"cat /proc/version" would report:
Linux version 4.18.0-18-generic (buildd@lcy01-amd64-006) (gcc version 7.3.0

Bug description:
  Hi,

  The most recent set of Ubuntu kernels applied a variety of tty patches
  including:
  
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/c96cf923a98d1b094df9f0cf97a83e118817e31b

  But have not applied the more recent
  
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/d3736d82e8169768218ee0ef68718875918091a0
  patch.

  This second patch is required to prevent a rather serious regression
  where userspace applications reading from stdin can receive EAGAIN
  when they should not.

  I will try to link correspondence from the mailing list archives once
  they are available, but for now if you have access to the linux-
  console mailing list you can find discussion under the thread
  "Userspace break? read from STDIN returns EAGAIN if tty is "touched"".

  I would appreciate it if this could be examined soon as it is a
  regression on userspace.

  Thanks
  Michael
