Systemtap on CentOS7

Post by KennyQiao » 2014/08/05 07:02:28

Hi,
I hit problems to use systemtap on CentOS 7 but failed to install required kernel-debuginfo-* packages.
# uname -r
3.10.0-123.4.4.el7.x86_64
# stap-prep
Need to install the following packages:
kernel-debuginfo-3.10.0-123.4.4.el7.x86_64
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* base: centos.clearvoiceone.com
* centosplus: mirror.cogentco.com
* extras: mirrordenver.fdcservers.net
* updates: mirror.steadfast.net
No package kernel-debuginfo-3.10.0-123.4.4.el7.x86_64 available.
Error: Nothing to do
package kernel-debuginfo-3.10.0-123.4.4.el7.x86_64 is not installed
problem installing rpm(s) kernel-debuginfo-3.10.0-123.4.4.el7.x86_64

Also failed to install kernel-debuginfo via yum:
# yum install kernel-debuginfo
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* base: centos.clearvoiceone.com
* centosplus: mirror.hmc.edu
* extras: mirrordenver.fdcservers.net
* updates: mirror.steadfast.net
No package kernel-debuginfo available.
Error: Nothing to do

I tried to find those required debuginfo packages but only find one on http://debuginfo.centos.org/7/x86_64:
kernel-plus-debuginfo-3.10.0-123.el7.centos.plus.x86_64.rpm.

When I manually install this rpm and failed to find its dependency:
# rpm -ihv kernel-plus-debuginfo-3.10.0-123.el7.centos.plus.x86_64.rpm
warning: kernel-plus-debuginfo-3.10.0-123.el7.centos.plus.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID b6792c39: NOKEY
error: Failed dependencies:
kernel-plus-debuginfo-common-x86_64 = 3.10.0-123.el7.centos.plus is needed by kernel-plus-debuginfo-3.10.0-123.el7.centos.plus.x86_64


Could anyone successfully use systemtap on CentOS7 now?


Thanks,
Kenny

I did ask about this but it looks like it was forgotten in among all the other 10,000 things to do. I suggest that you raise a bug on bugs.centos.org so that it doesn't disappear off the radar.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
Info for USB installs on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey
CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
Use the FAQ Luke
