Thanks for the reply. Sorry for the typo in the earlier mail. I have PV-HVM of CentOS 7 & I need to convert it to PV kernel.
Basically here I am trying to see whether my PV_HVM kernel is vulenrable to this issue given in the following link http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2015/q3/212
In the above link, it was mentioned that the PV kernel is not vulnerable to this bug, but HVM is. It didnt say anything about PV-HVM.
Can you please help me in this regard?

When googled about it, I found that this can be done by following commands
yum install xen or yum install kernel-xen
But, when I tried the below commands, I am getting the error *"No package kernel-xen available.**"*
what version were those instructions for ? AFAIK, there's no xen specific kernel in EL7, Red Hat and therefore CentOS supports KVM as their native virtualization, and the PV drivers for KVM are built in.
