New subject: [LTP] arm64: Unable to handle kernel execute from non-executable memory at virtual address ffff8000834c13a0

20 Sep 2023


      [ my two cents ]
While running LTP pty07 test cases on arm64 juno-r2 with Linux next-20230919
the following kernel crash was noticed.
I have been noticing this issue intermittently on Juno-r2 for more than a month.
Anyone have noticed this crash ?
