the parse_callchain_record_opt does some rounding on the stack size value
via the get_stack_size function, so following command like does not fail:

  $ perf record --call-graph='dwarf,819' ls

while the term syntax fails:
  $ perf record -e 'cpu/cpu-cycles,call-graph=dwarf,stack-size=819/

  Error:
  The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) for event (cpu/cpu-cycles,time=0,call-graph=dwarf,stack-size=819/).
  /bin/dmesg may provide additional information.
  No CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y kernel support configured?
