The exception c01 in kernel_execve is just the system call entry. The real problem is the machine check that happened in rb_insert_color, called from __vma_link_rb. However, a machine check is an imprecise exception, so whatever caused the problem may have happened a little earlier than that. Most likely it is due to an attempt to access a physical address where nothing exists.
