How intermittent is this? 1/2, 1/10, 1/100, rarer still?

Are you running *just* the pty07 test, or are you running a whole LTP suite and
the issue first occurs around pty07?

Given you've been hitting this for a month, have you tried testing mainline? Do
you have a known-good kernel that we can start a bisect from?

Do you *only* see this on Juno-r2 and are you testing on other hardware?

This indicates that the faulting address ffff8000834c13a0 is
in_lookup_hashtable+0x178/0x2000, which would been we've somehow marked the
kernel text as non-executable, which we never do intentionally.

I suspect that implies memory corruption. Have you tried running this with
KASAN enabled?

As a general thing, can you *please* fix this code dump to decode arm64 as
arm64?

Given the instructions before this are all UDF #0, I suspect the page table
entry has been corrupted and this is pointing at entirely the wrong page.

Thanks,
Mark.
