The Oops happened in the underlined line:

#define GET_SEG(seg) \
{ __get_user(tmp, &sc->seg); \
if ((tmp & 0xfffc) /* not a NULL selectors */ \
&& (tmp & 0x4) != 0x4 /* not a LDT selector */ \
&& (tmp & 3) != 3) /* not a RPL3 GDT selector */ \
goto badframe; \
__asm__ __volatile__("movl %w0,%%" #seg : : "r"(tmp)); }
^^^^^^^^^^^

GET_SEG(gs);
2c3: 31 c0 xorl %eax,%eax
2c5: 66 8b 13 movw (%ebx),%dx
2c8: 81 e2 ff ff 00 andl $0xffff,%edx
2cd: 00
2ce: 89 54 24 10 movl %edx,0x10(%esp,1)
2d2: 66 f7 44 24 10 testw $0xfffc,0x10(%esp,1)
2d7: fc ff
2d9: 74 13 je 2ee <restore_sigcontext+0x3a>
2db: f6 c2 04 testb $0x4,%dl

2e0: 89 d0 movl %edx,%eax
2e2: 83 e0 03 andl $0x3,%eax
2e5: 83 f8 03 cmpl $0x3,%eax
2e8: 0f 85 e6 01 00 jne 4d4 <restore_sigcontext+0x220>
2ed: 00
2ee: 8b 4c 24 10 movl 0x10(%esp,1),%ecx
2f2: 8e e9 movl %ecx,%gs
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Your CPU EFLAGS _active_ state were:

- RESUME FLAG
- INTERRUPTS ENABLED

Sometimes were set also the:

- ALIGNMENT CHECK
- PARITY FLAG
- DIRECTION FLAG

%cx was 0x5.

With my Intel(/AMD) knowledge if can' say if it' s a CPU bug but these
information may be enough to understand that. Anyway it seems that
`crashme' (I never tried or seen it though) is more useful to find bugs in
AMD chips instead of in Linux ;-).

Also I don' t understand why my objdump print movl instead of movw ?!?!
but this is not related to your problem of course.
