** Description changed:
+ == Justification ==
+ In the Bionic KVM kernel, the CONFIG_DEBUG_WX was not set, which is needed to
meet the security team's requirement.
+
+
+ == Test ==
+ Before enabling the config, test_330_config_debug_wx will fail in the kernel
security testsuite for the kernel SRU regression test.
+
+ It will pass with this patche applied, tested on a KVM node.
+
+ == Fix ==
+ UBUNTU: [Config]: enable CONFIG_DEBUG_WX
+
+ == Regression Potential ==
+ Minimal.
+ No code changes, just a config changes without disabling any other configs.
+
+ ----------------------------------------------------------
+
The kernel security test require this config to be enabled.
FAIL: test_330_config_debug_wx (__main__.KernelSecurityConfigTest)
