hi, Arnaldo,
Seems you missed this one. In some case, sort by 'Children' first doesn't make
sense, bacause I only care the 'Self' overhead.

btw, does perf have a option that only calculate the *real* callee 'overhead_acc'?
I mean only count the samples to parent when it is called by parent. For
example,

fun1		fun2
  foo		  foo

Then the 'overhead_acc' for fun1 should not include the samples that fun2 call foo.
Thanks.
