Allowing processes to sniff each others stacks has some fairly obvious security issues.

I don’t understand your concern - what about this would involve one process sniffing another process’s memory? The kernel would still be doing the unwinding, just not in the NMI handler.

Wouldn't all your kernel stacks then end up in whatever this handler is? Why not implement your approach and mail it to LKML :-)
