I'm having problems generating a replayable syscall trace that exhibits
the problem.
It turns out that the segfault address listed (the multiple of 0x120)
happens to be the value in the RBP register at the time of the segfault.
That's odd, as the instruction is
movdqa %xmm0,(%rdi)
and rdi is the valid mmap address of the perf ring buffer
rdi 0xf7768000 4151738368
so I'm not sure why RBP is involved at all.
In all of the cases I've investigated the precise_ip value has been set
for the problem event... but none of the events have been hardware events
(software and breakpoint so far). So probably not PEBS related?
