Looks it's an existing issue in perf. We can reproduce it by following 
steps.

1. perf record -a -e cycles,instructions -- sleep 3
2. perf report --group
3. In browser, we use hotkey 's' to switch to another perf.data
4. Now in browser, the extra columns 'Self' and 'Children' will be shown.

But I have not figured out which patch caused this issue. :(

Thanks
