This looks different. In fact, I had the similar bug but! (see below)

The RIP is meaningless.

Hmm, I wonder if this is the break point change :-/

Do you have NMIs enabled? I didn't have 'paranoid_exit' in my backtrace
when I saw the bug.

I saw this but after doing a cp .config /tmp; make mrproper;
cp /tmp/.config .;  make

The problem went away.

I'll start running a bunch of high stress tests using NMIs again (on
this box) and see if I can force this to happen again :-/
