I don't think this is per-cpu related.

It seems that task_thread_info(p)->cpu returns -1. This is the number
that is loaded into %rdx:

mov    0x1c(%rsi),%edx
mov    (%rax,%rdx,8),%rax <-- faulting instruction

You also had this:

[    9.270000] Thread overran stack, or stack corrupted

so it seems likely that your thread_info was corrupted as well.
