      perf report: Implement initial UI using newt · f9224c5c
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 提交于
      Newt has widespread availability and provides a rather simple
      API as can be seen by the size of this patch.
      
      The work needed to support it will benefit other frontends too.
      
      In this initial patch it just checks if the output is a tty, if
      not it falls back to the previous behaviour, also if
      newt-devel/libnewt-dev is not installed the previous behaviour
      is maintaned.
      
      Pressing enter on a symbol will annotate it, ESC in the
      annotation window will return to the report symbol list.
      
      More work will be done to remove the special casing in
      color_fprintf, stop using fmemopen/FILE in the printing of
      hist_entries, etc.
      
      Also the annotation doesn't need to be done via spawning "perf
      annotate" and then browsing its output, we can do better by
      calling directly the builtin-annotate.c functions, that would
      then be moved to tools/perf/util/annotate.c and shared with perf
      top, etc
      
      But lets go by baby steps, this patch already improves perf
      usability by allowing to quickly do annotations on symbols from
      the report screen and provides a first experimentation with
      libnewt/TUI integration of tools.
      
      Tested on RHEL5 and Fedora12 X86_64 and on Debian PARISC64 to
      browse a perf.data file collected on a Fedora12 x86_64 box.
