Yes, the motivation for calling them the same was the column name length.
And, with the default flags it looks reasonable:
Children Latency Self Latency Command
The fields seem to be selected based on the names in sort.c rather
than these names, e.g. I can do:
perf report -F latency_children,overhead_children,latency,overhead,symbol
and get:
Samples: 45K of event 'cycles:Pu', Event count (approx.): 10457486861
Latency Children Latency Overhead Symbol
+ 19.35% 18.69% 0.00% 0.00% [k] 0000000000000000
+ 4.86% 4.21% 4.86% 4.21% [.] htab_find_slot_with_hash
+ 4.15% 4.48% 0.00% 0.00% [.] 0xffffffff9ce012a6
So it seems to be possible to select these columns as needed.
