Do you have PREEMPT_TRACER enabled, or any other tracer for that matter?

I can see stack trace & context trace, but they are derived from other choices (I can not un select them)

cat .config | grep TRACE
CONFIG_STACKTRACE_SUPPORT=y
CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK=y
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IO_TRACE is not set
CONFIG_STACKTRACE=y
# CONFIG_BACKTRACE_SELF_TEST is not set
CONFIG_HAVE_FTRACE=y
CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE=y
CONFIG_FTRACE=y
# CONFIG_SCHED_TRACER is not set
CONFIG_CONTEXT_SWITCH_TRACER=y
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE=y
CONFIG_FTRACE_SELFTEST=y
CONFIG_FTRACE_STARTUP_TEST=y
