Ok, so a little bit further. This seems to be that stress-ng is
triggering OOMkiller which I'm not sure it should be, unless it's just
really writing a LOT of data to memory.
My setup has been the same on all architectures and I've seen the same
behaviour on Artful deployments on amd64 (Xeon Phi), Power8 and s390x:
created swap space that is 2x the amount of RAM per the output of free
ran the stress-ng based memory stress test from the certification suite
stress-ng tells us that the tests all pass
dmesg reveals invocations of OOMKiller
This is all handled by the memory_stress_ng script in the cert suite.
The tests we run are defined by this block:
crt_stressors=("bsearch" "context" "hsearch" "lsearch" "matrix" \
"memcpy" "null" "pipe" "qsort" "stack" "str" "stream" \
"tsearch" "vm-rw" "wcs" "zero" "mlock" "mmapfork" "mmapmany" \
"mremap" "shm-sysv" "vm-splice")
if [ "$numa_nodes" -gt 1 ]; then
crt_stressors+=("numa")
fi
and we run them individually, one test case at a time.
I've attached a tarball with the stderr and stdout from stress-ng, dmesg
contents and the test script that runs all this.

Title:
stress-ng triggering call-traces on s390x z/VM instances
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in linux source package in Artful:
Confirmed
Bug description:
During regression testing on a z/VM instance, I noticed call traces
being dumped to dmesg that seem to be related to stress-ng.
The stress-ng invocation we're using is:
stress-ng --aggressive --verify --timeout $runtime \
--metrics-brief --tz --times \
--af-alg 0 --bsearch 0 --context 0 --cpu 0 \
--crypt 0 --hsearch 0 --longjmp 0 --lsearch
0 \
--matrix 0 --qsort 0 --str 0 --stream 0 \
--tsearch 0 --vecmath 0 --wcs 0
as executed by the cpu_stress script from the cpu/cpu_stress_ng test
in the certification suite.
