I think it's because of per-event max-stack not being checked for the
first event.  Please see the patch below..

Also I'm not sure that the allocation failure check would work
correctly since it decrements nr_callchain_events when it fails.

Thanks,
Namhyung

Subject: [PATCH] perf/core: Fix overflow on perf_callchain_entry

The commit 97c79a38cd45 add a check whether per-event max stack is
greater than the global max.  But it missed to do it for the first
event.  So if the event had a stack depth greater than the global max,
it could overflow the callchain entry list.
