Just a nitpick, but you will want to also add "stacktrace" to the kernel
command line otherwise it is default off. If you forget to do that, you
can also enable it with /proc/sys/kernel/stack_tracer_enabled.

But if you forget what to do, the code will remind you:

[root@mxf ~]# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/stack_trace 
        Depth    Size   Location    (-1 entries)
        -----    ----   --------
#
#  Stack tracer disabled
#
# To enable the stack tracer, either add 'stacktrace' to the
# kernel command line
# or 'echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/stack_tracer_enabled'
#
