If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed- artful' to 'verification-done-artful'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-artful' to 'verification-failed- artful'.
If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed.

These messages are a false positive and triggered at random. [Test] There is no reliable way to reproduce these warnings, they are triggered at random. But these messages can appear on any ARM64 server Cavium, Qualcomm etc. A test kernel is available in ppa:manjo/lp1769696 and the kernel was boot tested on a QDF2400 system and Cavium Thunderx. ubuntu@awrep2:~$ uname -a Linux awrep2 4.15.0-21-generic #22~lp1769696+build.1-Ubuntu SMP Mon May 7 16:04:39 UTC 2018 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux ubuntu@boomer:~$ uname -a Linux boomer 4.15.0-21-generic #22~lp1769696+build.1-Ubuntu SMP Mon May 7 16:04:39 UTC 2018 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux ubuntu@boomer:~$ [Fix] Upstream fix is available in linux-next 65d313ee1a7d init: fix false positives in W+X checking [Regression Potential] potential for any regression is low.
