Public bug reported:

The CONFIG_FANOTIFY_ACCESS_PERMISSIONS option is required for certain
security products, like Microsoft Defender for Endpoints, to operate
correctly. As far as I can tell, it causes no overhead (when not
actively using it), in terms of code size or startup time.

It is currently disabled in the Focal Fossa -kvm kernel:

$ grep CONFIG_FANOTIFY /boot/config-5.4.0-1032-kvm 
CONFIG_FANOTIFY=y
# CONFIG_FANOTIFY_ACCESS_PERMISSIONS is not set

While it is enabled in the -generic kernel:

$ grep CONFIG_FANOTIFY /boot/config-5.4.0-65-generic 
CONFIG_FANOTIFY=y
CONFIG_FANOTIFY_ACCESS_PERMISSIONS=y

The same goes for Bionic Beaver.
