You should just need DEBUG_INFO.. maybe stap can't find it?  You can try =
to add: -r /path/to/the/kernel/build

=2E. but usually I use this option for a cross-compile.  Usually I don't =
have to muck around without the debuginfo packages either.  If I don't ha=
ve them then I'm annotating the kernel directly.

Maybe just a view of what's happening in /proc/slabinfo would be enough..=
