[RFC 0/3] perf tools: Make perf_hpp__init respect output dimensions

[Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org>]

hi,
The perf_hpp__init currently does not respect sorting dimensions
and the setup_sorting function could endup queueing same format
twice. That screwed up the perf_hpp__list and got stuck in loop
within perf_hpp__setup_output_field function.

  $ perf report -F +overhead

Using hpp_dimension__add_output function to register
the output column. It will also mark the dimension
as taken and omit above stuck.

It might need some other changes.. not sure, Namhyung? ;-)
