I just ran this on 4.4.0-34-generic from the dev ppa on an arm64 system
and it passed. I am re-running this now to see if it reliably passes.

Title:
stress-ng memory testing causes Arm64 system to hang
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Running the certification memory test using stress-ng on an ARM64
system with 64GB roughly of RAM (MAAS shows 63GB).
The test runs several stress-ng memory related tests. It appears that
the system locks up when the bigheap test runs, every time so far (two
of two runs have failed).
I'm doing a third now to confirm that bigheap is where the lockup
occurs.
I've also run this exact same test on similar and smaller memory
amounts on s390x and amd64 without problem.
This is also being done to provide data for a similar bug discovered
on Power (ppc64le).
To test this on an arm64 system:
Install Xenial
$ add-apt-repository ppa:hardware-certification/public
$ apt update
$ apt install canonical-certification-server
$ /usr/lib/plainbox-provider-checkbox/bin/memory_stress_ng
the memory_stress_ng script is a wrapper for stress_ng that only calls
certain memory tests. See script for an idea of how it's executing
the tests.
This could be the same issue that we're seeing on power, or it could
be a different issue for ARM that looks similar. Here's the original
