The corruption occurs because the userspace kni library works unexpectedly. Compiler [1] is using AVX512 instructions and generated binary is wrong [2]. It turned around gcc does its job correct, but gas is generating binary wrong. And expected binutils 2.30, 2.31 & 2.31.1 are affected. Issue has been fixed in binutils 2.32 with: Commit x86: don't mistakenly scale non-8-bit displacements AVX512 was already disabled with bintuils 2.30 [3], extending it to 2.31 & 2.31.1 too.
