Your linux kernel has hit a bug - you probably should reboot ASAP even
if it is still running. 

As to how to understand it, you can look at the documentation in the
linux kernel (in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/oops-tracing.txt, assuming
your kernel source is in /usr/src/linux).

Google (for "oops + linux + kernel") gave, amongst others, the slides
for a talk given to GLLUG (:
