This bug is awaiting verification that the linux/5.19.0-41.42 kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-kinetic' to 'verification-done-kinetic'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-kinetic' to 'verification-failed-kinetic'.
If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed.

But, if a file removes its execute permission, this will change it back. This happened in the last jammy release (version 5.15.0-70.77) where a commit from upstream removed the execute permission for a header file but then our scripts brought it back. [Fix] Andy proposed the following fix https://dpaste.com/6SJ8YR3BM Basically it checks if the permission was added or removed and uses either +x or -x. [Test plan] Easily tested with jammy-kvm, latest release where a rebase picked this commit "treewide: fix up files incorrectly marked executable" where `drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_msg_arm64.h` changed its permission from 755 to 644 (removed execute). When debian packages are prepared, you'll notice the file has changed its permission back to 755. With the fix, it should be the same. [Regression potential] Low, it is a small fix. Scripts will still have execute permission.
