The tooling counterpart, now it is possible to do:

  # perf record -e sched:sched_switch/max-stack=10/ -e cycles/call-graph=dwarf,max-stack=4/ -e cpu-cycles/call-graph=dwarf,max-stack=1024/ usleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.052 MB perf.data (5 samples) ]
  # perf evlist -v
  sched:sched_switch: type: 2, size: 112, config: 0x110, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 1, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|CALLCHAIN|CPU|PERIOD|RAW|IDENTIFIER, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1, sample_max_stack: 10

  cpu-cycles/call-graph=dwarf,max-stack=1024/: size: 112, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|CALLCHAIN|PERIOD|REGS_USER|STACK_USER|IDENTIFIER, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, freq: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, exclude_callchain_user: 1, sample_regs_user: 0xff0fff, sample_stack_user: 8192, sample_max_stack: 1024
  # Tip: use 'perf evlist --trace-fields' to show fields for tracepoint events

Using just /max-stack=N/ means /call-graph=fp,max-stack=N/, that should
be further configurable by means of some .perfconfig knob.
