I suspect that either stack is corrupted or non-code is executed (or both).
Stack pointer seems to be too close to instruction pointer and too far from frame
pointer.

Can you try to use kgdb and disassemble code (or examine data) near instruction
pointer address and also near frame pointer address?
Also, you might want to rebuild kgdb with a recent change from head, so that it
better maps symbols and addresses in kernel modules.
