I tried this patch. It's better because I get the end of the trace, but
I do lose the beginning of it:

** 196358 printk messages dropped ** [  102.321182]     perf-5981    0.... 12983650us : d_path <-seq_path

The way I tested it was by adding this:

Index: linux-trace.git/kernel/trace/trace_functions.c
===================================================================
--- linux-trace.git.orig/kernel/trace/trace_functions.c
+++ linux-trace.git/kernel/trace/trace_functions.c
@@ -469,8 +469,11 @@ ftrace_cpudump_probe(unsigned long ip, u
 		     struct trace_array *tr, struct ftrace_probe_ops *ops,
 		     void *data)
 {
-	if (update_count(ops, ip, data))
-		ftrace_dump(DUMP_ORIG);
+	char *killer = NULL;
+
+	panic_on_oops = 1;	/* force panic */
+	wmb();
+	*killer = 1;
 }
 
 static int


Then doing the following:

# echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_dump_on_oops 
# trace-cmd start -p function
# echo nmi_handle:cpudump > /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
# perf record -c 100 -a sleep 1

And that triggers the crash.
