We are using slightly different toolchains:

$ grep gcc console.log lundmark.log
console.log:[ 0.000000] Linux version 4.13.0-33-generic (buildd@bos02-arm64-023) (gcc version 5.4.0 20160609 (Ubuntu/Linaro 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.8)) #36~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Wed Feb 7 23:37:06 UTC 2018 (Ubuntu 4.13.0-33.36~16.04.1-generic 4.13.13)

 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.8 your toolchain, 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.9 mine

Although the difference shouldn't impact arm64:

gcc-5 (5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.9) xenial-security; urgency=medium

  * Revert retpoline changes of ppc64el as per the recommendation from
    Bill Schmidt of IBM.
    - ppc-add-mspeculate-indirect-jumps: drop.

we should try to build that kernel with that toolchain and see what happens.
