From: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> The --max_stack option was added as an optimization to reduce processing time, so people specifying --max-stack might get a increased processing time if combined with synthesized callchains, but otherwise no real harm. A warning about setting both --max_stack and the synthesized callchains max depth seems like overkill. Amend the documentation.
