It seems to imply line 53 is the originating bug, so that would be:

47 if (type == JUMP_LABEL_ENABLE) {
48 /*
49 * We are enabling this jump label. If it is not a nop
50 * then something must have gone wrong.
51 */
52 if (unlikely(memcmp((void *)entry->code, ideal_nop, 5) != 0))
53 bug_at((void *)entry->code, __LINE__);

But it is a NOP isn't it? The code is

Unexpected op at trace_clock_global+0x6b/0x120 [ffffffff8113a21b] (0f 1f 44 00 00) 53

Perhaps the ideal_nop has not been set yet?
