Well, right now it is:

[    2.470492] general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdfff000000000001: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP
[    2.471615] CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 5.5.0-rc1+ #6

and the CPU is on the second line, the error code is before the number -
[#1] - in that case.

If we pull the number in front, we can do:

[    2.470492] [#1] general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdfff000000000001: 0000 PREEMPT SMP
[    2.471615] [#1] CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 5.5.0-rc1+ #6

and this way you know that the error code is there, after the first
line's description.

I guess we can do:

[    2.470492] [#1] general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdfff000000000001 Error Code: 0000 PREEMPT SMP

to make it even more explicit...
