If you are getting SIGSEGV that means that the address is used in
userspace. Looking at man getcpu() it suggests that on some
architectures it may be implemented as VDSO, which would explain it.

So I suppose that the easies solution here would be to run the test in a
child process and accepting SIGSEGV as a correct outcome as well.
