From e9d848cb65d5f6f7731d12bd1b6d994bfdbcc94f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Namhyung Kim Date: Tue, 10 May 2016 11:26:24 -0300 Subject: perf diff: Fix duplicated output column The commit b97511c5bc94 ("perf tools: Add overhead/overhead_children keys defaults via string") moved initialization of column headers but it missed to check the sort__mode. As 'perf diff' doesn't call perf_hpp__init(), the setup_overhead() also should not be called.
