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?
Of course, all the SRPMs are available for everything we do.
For this one specifically:
http://vault.centos.org/7.2.1511/virt/Source/xen-46/
you want:
http://vault.centos.org/7.2.1511/virt/Source/xen-46/kernel-3.18.21-17.el7.sr...
