It seems the machine was not executing code of your vmlinux. The code in 
your vmlinux starts from 0xc1000000. But when you connected with GDB, 
the stopped PC was 0xc0467118, which was just ahead of code sections of 
your vmlinux. Is it possbile the linux kernel running in your qemu was 
not the one you told GDB?
