I'm surprised by the discrepancy between this oops, and kdb memory dump:

>From oops/kdb (from address 0xffffffff810ac3a1 which is start of next_pidmap)
Code: 0f 1f 44 00 00 ff c6 49 89 fc 89 f2 4c 8d af 08 08 00 00 48....

>From objdump vmlinux (the same address)
Code: e8 1a 88 e7 00 ff c6 49 89 fc 89 f2 4c 8d af 08 08 00 00 48...

Which decodes to

kdb:
0:   0f 1f 44 00 00          nopl   0x0(%rax,%rax,1)
5:   ff c6                   inc    %esi
7:   49 89 fc                mov    %rdi,%r12
a:   89 f2                   mov    %esi,%edx
c:   4c 8d af 08 08 00 00    lea    0x808(%rdi),%r13

vmlinux:
ffffffff810ac3a1:  e8 1a 88 e7 00     callq  ffffffff81f24bc0 <mcount>
ffffffff810ac3a6:  ff c6               inc    %esi
ffffffff810ac3a8:  49 89 fc          mov    %rdi,%r12
ffffffff810ac3ab:  89 f2               mov    %esi,%edx
ffffffff810ac3ad:  4c 8d af 08 08 00 00    lea    0x808(%rdi),%r13


Might this difference (nopl   0x0(%rax,%rax,1)   vs   callq
ffffffff81f24bc0 <mcount>   at 0xffffffff810ac3a1) be some kind of
kernel instrumentation (ftrace, perf or so), or a symptom of a bug
(overwritten memory)?
