See Intel or AMD developer manuals for GP faults/exceptions.
You can use something like this to find do_general_protection:
$ find . -name \*\.[hcS] | xargs grep -n do_general_protection
and learn that it is in (this is from 2.6.0-test4):
./arch/i386/kernel/traps.c:420:asmlinkage void do_general_protection(struct pt_regs * regs, long error_code) and ./arch/x86_64/kernel/traps.c:456:asmlinkage void do_general_protection(struct pt_regs * regs, long error_code)
