Nice find. I see there was already a second report, so it seems to be
reproducible as well.
If you are able to trigger this reliably, you could try printing the frame
pointer while unwinding to see what is actually going on:

--- a/arch/arm/kernel/traps.c
+++ b/arch/arm/kernel/traps.c
@@ -68,8 +68,8 @@ void dump_backtrace_entry(unsigned long where,
unsigned long from,
        unsigned long end = frame + 4 + sizeof(struct pt_regs);

 #ifdef CONFIG_KALLSYMS
-       printk("%s[<%08lx>] (%ps) from [<%08lx>] (%pS)\n",
-               loglvl, where, (void *)where, from, (void *)from);
+       printk("%s[<%08lx>] (%ps) from [<%08lx>] (%pS), frame %08lx\n",
+               loglvl, where, (void *)where, from, (void *)from, frame);
 #else
        printk("%sFunction entered at [<%08lx>] from [<%08lx>]\n",
                loglvl, where, from);

If that doesn't help, I could have a look at the binary to see which
functions in the call chain take a lot of stack space, if any.

Which exact compiler version do you use for building these
kernels? I can try doing a build with the same commit and config.

This one function is one that I have seen before when looking at build
warnings with KASAN:

> > [<8073772c>] (integrity_kernel_read) from [<8073a904>] (ima_calc_file_hash_tfm+0x178/0x228 security/integrity/ima/ima_crypto.c:484)

ima_calc_file_hash_tfm() has a SHASH_DESC_ON_STACK(), which by itself can
use up 512 bytes, but KASAN sometimes triples this number. However, I see
you do not actually have KASAN enabled, so there is probably more to it.
