You can check it in your kernel configuration file. Ubuntu stores such
files in /boot/config-<kernel-version>.

Anyway, I think that this quotation from fs/ext4/Kconfig can be helpful
for you:

config EXT4_FS_POSIX_ACL
	bool "Ext4 POSIX Access Control Lists"
	depends on EXT4_FS
	select FS_POSIX_ACL
	help
	  POSIX Access Control Lists (ACLs) support permissions for users and
	  groups beyond the owner/group/world scheme.

	  To learn more about Access Control Lists, visit the POSIX ACLs for
	  Linux website <http://acl.bestbits.at/>.

	  If you don't know what Access Control Lists are, say N

With the best regards,
