While I don't see anything incorrect, the procedure appears suboptimal
and the prose infrugal.  Is there a reason for saying much beyond this?

% su
# yum install systemtap
# yum install kernel-devel # or kernel-smp-devel
# yum install kernel-debuginfo # after enabling the debuginfo repositories
                               # in /etc/yum.repos.d
# stap -e 'probe begin { log ("hello world") }'
