The code in question does this:

        i=find_random_active_event();
        if (i<0) return;
        if ((event_data[i].mmap)) {
                value=0xdeadbeef;
                memset(event_data[i].mmap,value,getpagesize());

So rbp is set by the imul below, it is the offset into the
event_data[i] array where the elements have size of 0x120

   0x6d1134:       0x0041e710

  Dump of assembler code for function __memset_sse2:

   0x0041e710 <+0>:     cmp    $0x1,%rdx
   0x0041e714 <+4>:     mov    %rdi,%rax

   0x0041e719 <+9>:     mov    %sil,(%rdi)

and as far as I can tell nothing touches rbp again until the segfault.
Nothing in _memset_sse2 does as far as I can tell.
