Title:
  test_265_config_retpoline in kernel_security_test failed on 3.13
  Precise

Status in QA Regression Testing:
  Fix Released
Status in ubuntu-kernel-tests:
  Fix Released
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  == Justification ==
  In the Precise 3.13 kernel, the CONFIG_RETPOLINE was set to y in commit eae992be4, which should be disabled to meet the security team's requirement.

  ======================================================================
   FAIL: test_265_config_retpoline (__main__.KernelSecurityConfigTest)
   Ensure retpoline configuration option is set
   ----------------------------------------------------------------------
   Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "./test-kernel-security.py", line 2445, in test_265_config_retpoline
   self.assertKernelConfig('RETPOLINE', expected)
   File "./test-kernel-security.py", line 209, in assertKernelConfig
   self.assertKernelConfigUnset(name)
   File "./test-kernel-security.py", line 200, in assertKernelConfigUnset
   '%s option was expected to be unset in the kernel config' % name)
   AssertionError: RETPOLINE option was expected to be unset in the kernel config

  In this test case, this config was expected to be NOT set:
      elif self.lsb_release['Release'] == 12.04:
          self._skipped("RETPOLINE compiler not in precise")
          expected = False
      self.assertKernelConfig('RETPOLINE', expected)

  == Fix ==
  [Precise/lts-backport-trusty][SRU][PATCHv2] Revert "UBUNTU: [Config] CONFIG_RETPOLINE=y"

  == Test ==
  The test_265_config_retpoline will pass after disabling CONFIG_RETPOLINE

  == Regression Potential ==
  Minimal.
  No code changes, just a config changes.
