Under /proc/sys/kernel there exists a parameters called kstack_depth_to_print. But I also see that a lot of other files (as listed below) not using this parameter directly from procfs.

Am I mistaken in my analysis?

./kernel/sysctl.c:
                .procname       = "kstack_depth_to_print",
                .data           = &kstack_depth_to_print,

Note that this bit is inside an "#if defined(CONFIG_X86)" block meaning that only the the one(s) below arch/x86 are related:

./arch/x86/kernel/traps_64.c:
int kstack_depth_to_print = 12;
        for(i=0; i < kstack_depth_to_print; i++) {
        kstack_depth_to_print = simple_strtoul(s,NULL,0);

./arch/x86/kernel/traps_32.c:
int kstack_depth_to_print = 24;
        for(i = 0; i < kstack_depth_to_print; i++) {
        kstack_depth_to_print = simple_strtoul(s, NULL, 0);

These do use the sysctl set value. Note that this sysctl works by just directly changing the global variable kstack_depth_to_print. That 12/24 you see is just an initial value.
