Public bug reported:
When running the kernel security tests from qa-regression-testing, it
fails to run 'sudo -u <user> cat /sys/module/<module>/sections/.text',
because it's now only owner-readable, instead of world-readable.
The failure is copied below.
This has been changes on 4.15-rc1 by commit
277642dcca765a1955d4c753a5a315ff7f2eb09d ("modules: make sysfs attribute files
readable by owner only").
We either want to revert that upstream or fix the test.
