Ah, I missed the filter part, no its correct, and actually found a
bug ;-) By adding this patch, it works again:

diff --git a/kernel/trace/trace_stack.c b/kernel/trace/trace_stack.c
index 4237eba4ef20..2b0d1ee3241c 100644
--- a/kernel/trace/trace_stack.c
+++ b/kernel/trace/trace_stack.c
@@ -111,7 +111,7 @@ check_stack(unsigned long ip, unsigned long *stack)
stack_trace_max_size = this_size;

stack_trace_max.nr_entries = 0;
- stack_trace_max.skip = 3;
+ stack_trace_max.skip = 0;

save_stack_trace(&stack_trace_max);
