CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT set to 14 is too low on arm64

This bug is missing log files that will aid in diagnosing the problem. While running an Ubuntu kernel (not a mainline or third-party kernel) please enter the following command in a terminal window:

apport-collect 1824864

and then change the status of the bug to 'Confirmed'.

If, due to the nature of the issue you have encountered, you are unable to run this command, please add a comment stating that fact and change the bug status to 'Confirmed'.

This change has been made by an automated script, maintained by the Ubuntu Kernel Team.

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-disco' to 'verification-done-disco'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-disco' to 'verification-failed-disco'.

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. Thank you!

Given that https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/11104 is a variation of this bug and the reason `arm64` has been off since December 2018, I'm wondering how long it will take to fix this on Bionic.

the failure has been more intermittent on cosmic, but the latest run on kernel 4.18.0-26 did not fail:

bionic:

the testbed appears to be very slow and is regularly timing out (or, there is some code or test bug that is hanging the test), but it does it make it past testing boot-and-services, with the results:
