[PATCH 4/8] perf tools: Defaults to 'caller' callchain order only if --children is enabled

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Thu Oct 22 2015 - 18:15:54 EST


From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@xxxxxxxxxx>

The caller callchain order is useful with --children option since it can
show 'overview' style output, but other commands which don't use
--children feature like 'perf script' or even 'perf report/top' without
--children are better to keep callee order.
