From: Changbin Du <changbin.du@intel.com>
If we always insert 'overhead' and 'overhead_children' as sort keys, this make it impossible to sort as overhead (which displayed as Self) first.Ths will be a problem if the data is collected with call-graph enabled. Then we never can sort the result as self-overhead on this data. And sometimes the data is hard to collect.
> perf record -ag > perf report -s overhead,sym
Samples: 7K of event 'cycles', Event count (approx.): 865138253 Children Self Symbol + 26.41% 0.00% [k] verify_cpu + 26.37% 0.04% [k] cpu_startup_entry + 25.93% 0.27% [k] do_idle + 19.88% 0.00% [k] start_secondary ....
I intend to sort as 'Self', but actually it sort as 'Children'.
This patch fix this by only insert overhead && overhead_children when no overhead* field given.
