So, if someone asks for zero, it will not copy anything, but then, this
would be what the user had asked for :-)

Ditto for the max, if someone asks for too big a callchain, then when
allocating it it will fail and no callchain will be produced, that or it
will be able to allocate but will take too long copying that many
addresses, and we would be prevented from doing so by some other
protection, iirc there is perf_cpu_time_max_percent, and then buffer
space will run out.

So I think that leaving it as is is enough, no?

Can I keep your Acked-by? David, can I keep yours?

I'll improve tools/perf to look at this file and then push this to Ingo,
if nobody hollers.

Peter, I think my response was enough about reporting allocation
failure, right?

Brendan tested it and it solved the problem he reported, the callchains
he got are really that big and now he has good looking flamegraphs, yay!

Here is V2, with stackmap.c adjusted, only build tested.

    perf core: Allow setting up max frame stack depth via sysctl
    
    The default remains 127, which is good for most cases, and not even hit
    most of the time, but then for some cases, as reported by Brendan, 1024+
    deep frames are appearing on the radar for things like groovy, ruby.
    
    And in some workloads putting a _lower_ cap on this may make sense. One
    that is per event still needs to be put in place tho.
    
    The new file is:
    
      # cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack
      127
    
    Chaging it:
    
      # echo 256 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack
      # cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack
      256
    
    But as soon as there is some event using callchains we get:
    
      # echo 512 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack
      -bash: echo: write error: Device or resource busy
      #
    
    Because we only allocate the callchain percpu data structures when there
    is a user, which allows for changing the max easily, its just a matter
    of having no callchain users at that point.
