Thanks for notifying me about this. I have tested it in my environment.
It works well for me except a small behavior changing. Please see below.
Before applying these patch set:

# ........ ....... ................ .........................

And caller:
# ./perf report --no-children --stdio --call-graph=caller
# Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol
# ........ ....... ................ .........................

The user code part of output are identical so I confirm the bug.

It fixes the bug. However, do you see the extra "0.68%-- 0" in the tree?
I give a message on patch 2/3, please have a look. I think this change
would be okay for me if we treat the old behavior as a bug (for example:
sum of all branches not equal to the overhead of itself). However, the
original code explicitly avoid generating '0' entry so I think we
should make it clear.
Thank you.
