general protection fault vs Oops

Hi all,

In my Linux box, I see that kernel crashes for a known test case.

In the first attempt when I run that test case I landed into “general
protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP" .. Next I rebooted and ran the same
test , but now it resulted the “Oops: 0002 [#1] SMP".
In both cases the call trace looks exactly same and RIP points to
“native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath+0xfe/0x170"..

So, can some one clarify me , what are the difference between “general
protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP" & “Oops: 0002 [#1] SMP". In which
scenario kernel throws “Oops: 0002 [#1] SMP" Or “general protection
fault: 0000 [#1] SMP"..
