From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

syscall -> asm -> page_fault

This a native machine code execution that crashed in your system. Could be an instruction that your CPU doesn't understand (because the instruction is newer than your CPU, example: AVX512), or because your hardware returns an error when this instruction is executed (RAM issues?). Too difficult for me to understand this ASM crash.

I don't think it's some cpu issue because I used arch for sometime on my another laptop which is poorer in terms of hardware and cpu than current one. But again I might be wrong, will try to understand if this happens again.
