Subject: perf build: Error if jevents won't work and NO_JEVENTS=1 isn't set
X-Git-Url: http://git.maquefel.me/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=175f9315f76345e88e3abdc947c1e0030ab99da3;p=linux.git

perf build: Error if jevents won't work and NO_JEVENTS=1 isn't set

Rather than disabling jevents if a sufficient python isn't present
error in the build. This avoids the build progressing but the binary
being degraded. The build can still succeed by specifying NO_JEVENTS=1
to the build and this is conveyed in the error message.
