Even on !SMP gdt_page is in the 0...__per_cpu_end range. Which means
that on !SMP this results in:

      leaq    0xb000(%rdx),%rax

and RDX is 0. That's not really a valid GDT pointer, right?

and obviously that's equally broken for the task stack part:

This needs:

Maybe we should enforce CONFIG_SMP=y first :)

Thanks,
