I'm trying to debug what I believe to be a kernel bug (https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2016-March/014463.html) and I'm trying to set up systemtap for that.
I'm trying to set up systemtap on kernel 3.18.21-17.el6.x86_64 (Xen 4.4.3-10.el6) and it requires the kernel-debuginfo package, however I cannot find anywhere package kernel-debuginfo-3.18.21-17.el6.x86_64.rpm. In addition, I cannot find anywhere the kernel source RPM in order to build the debuginfo RPM.
Should these packages be available in the first place? Am I missing something?
The xen kernel does not provide debuginfo. The spec file initially came from the elrepo repository, though it has been modified. I don't think any of the elrepo kernels build debuginfo files.
In this case is the kernel source RPM publicly available then?
