Hello,
Today my screen suddenly "froze" in the most literal sense possible.
None of my peripherals were working (tried plugging and unplugging the ones for which I could do so) and I couldn't switch TTY or do anything else to interact with my computer.
Strangely enough, pluseaudio was still playing stuff for a good ~160 seconds, but everything else was seemingly stuck.
Finally, I had to restart my computer and I found the following error log (copy pasted from the first kernel log to the reboot):

Is this a kernel crash of sorts ? What exactly is this error message telling me here ? Why might such a thing happen
I'm really unknowledgable when it comes to this kind of stuff, but, since I was unable to even switch TTYs, I assumed this is a "kernel space" rather than "user space" issue and, since I never really messed with my kernel, I thought it might be worth troubleshooting this here.
After a reboot, my machine works just fine.
Not exactly sure what info about my installed software I should be giving out here, so please advise and I'll include them to the list bellow:

Is it still an issue with linux 4.19 in testing? The freeze sounds like a hard lockup rather than what could technically called a panic.
In a panic the kernel is actually able to print panic plus a backtrace. The log you posted shows issues from both GPU and USB related modules but I can not see an obvious cause.
