I think, stack dump function inside magic sysrq is your first bet
here... of course, it might not working on some cases (e.g: too much
stack corruption). And don't forget to compile your kernel with debug
info and frame pointer enabled...without that, stack dump will have
hard time to convert addresses into meaningful symbols and back
tracking stack frames.
