[PATCH 1/2] packagegroup-core-sdk.bb: Drop distcc from the core-sdk.

[PATCH 1/2] packagegroup-core-sdk.bb: Drop distcc from the core-sdk.

[Philip Balister]

distcc has been used in the past to speed up native compile across
several machines. This is less an issue on modern embedded systems.

Also, improvements in sdk generation have reduced the need for on target
compile of large projects.

Since the distcc packages start a daemon at boot, drop it from the
packagegroup to avoid having some slight runtime impact on systems
installing an sdk.

[PATCH 2/2] packagegroup-core-tools-profile.bb: Remove oprofile.

[Philip Balister]

Oprofile functions duplicate perf. Since perf is easier to use drop oprofile
from the core-tools-profile package.

Also, the oprofile-ui package opens a port on the device. removing this
package reduces a possible security issue for devices with profiling tools.

I filed this in the "think about" box when you submitted it, but then
failed to think.  My concern was "oprofile is the profiling tool we support
with oprofileui on the host" but that point is fairly moot right now as
oprofileui doesn't work anymore... (#7054).

When that's fixed, we can re-add the tooling as appropriate.

My gut feeling is people are moving to perf, which is also part of
tools-profile.

Indeed.  Porting oprofileui to perf is one option here - as usual I've
forgotten why oprofile is still a thing considering perf is also in-tree
now...
