Strange thing with your crash report is CR2 value, with unexpected value

Faulting instruction is :

48 83 b8 b0 00 00 00 00 cmpq $0x0,0xb0(%rax)

So I would have expected CR2 being RAX+0xb0, but its not.

Nothing strange about it. You only get page faults and valid cr2 for canonical addresses (17 high order bits all equal). In this case rax+0xb0 is not a canonical address, so you got a general protection fault instead, with cr2 unchanged.
