So, for completeness, further testing it to see how far it goes on a 8GB
machine I got:

[root@emilia ~]# echo 131100 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack 
[root@emilia ~]# perf record -g ls
Error:
The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 12 (Cannot allocate memory) for event (cycles).
/bin/dmesg may provide additional information.
No CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y kernel support configured?

[root@emilia ~]#

[root@emilia ~]# echo 131000 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack 
[root@emilia ~]# perf record -g usleep
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.013 MB perf.data (9 samples) ]
[root@emilia ~]# ls -la perf.data
-rw-------. 1 root root 15736 Apr 26 13:33 perf.data
[root@emilia ~]#
