That sounds correct.

I have to ask. Is this a x86 box?
Also, have you tested to see if function tracing works?
# cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
# echo function > current_tracer
# cat trace
If function tracing doesn't work this wouldn't either.
I'm also assuming you have CONFIG_STACKTRACE and
CONFIG_STACKTRACE_SUPPORT enabled. They should be selected, but configs
can always get screwed up.
