Describe the issue
Is FVP_Corstone_SSE-300 is supposed to require an executable stack?
To Reproduce
Learning Path: https://learn.arm.com/learning-paths/embedded-and-microcontrollers/tfm/
In the section "Run the TF-M tests on the Corstone-300 FVP", the learner is instructed to run FVP_Corstone_SSE-300_Ethos-U55. I ran the command as described. However, I ran into the error shown below.

FVP_Corstone_SSE-300_Ethos-U55 will only run after I mark its stack as executable. It is not mentioned in the Learning Path that this is required.

Expected behavior
I expected FVP_Corstone_SSE-300_Ethos-U55 to run without having to mark its stack as executable. It is not mentioned anywhere in the Learning Path or FVP installation guide that the stack has to be marked as executable.
