linux-tools: perf: add option to build TUI
Since Linux 3.10, perf's NO_NEWT configuration option simply sets NO_SLANG=1 and there is no dependency on libnewt. We already handle NO_SLANG correctly based on whether or not BR2_PACKAGE_SLANG is selected, so all we accomplish by setting NO_NEWT=1 is disabling perf's TUI when all of the dependencies are available. To simplify all of this, introduce a new config option to enable the perf TUI which depends on slang and add a check to prevent building the TUI on versions which are too old. The check for NO_SLANG is equivalent to checking if NO_NEWT is required as NO_SLANG was added in the same commit that removed the libnewt dependency and deprecated NO_NEWT (6692c262df4f, "perf tools: Remove dependency on libnewt", 2013-03-28). Signed-off-by: John Keeping <john@metanate.com> [Thomas: add missing BR2_USE_MMU dependency, coming from the slang package. Noticed by Yann E. Morin.] Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@bootlin.com>
