Ok, so my guess was wrong.

No way. This instruction adds a constant to a register and does not
touch memory at all. Hence it won't raise a page fault. Did you
objdump your program for that?

objdump's '-d' option did not help? Are you specifying your own
compiler flags for this program? Otherwise, L4Re's build system by
default compiles with debug info.
